My neighbor across the street has a 17 year old son whose pants are alwalys hanging aroung his thighs. I laugh at him because when he walks he looks like either he's got a huge load of shit in his pants, or he's trying to hold in a big shit. Take your pick.

I never heard about the prison connection and I often wondered why the young 'uns are dressing this way. Interesting.

Hi all, I've been lurking.........

by jibberish in

hello, i've been lurking for a few months now.

like many others here i've been through quite a bit lately, and what i've learned (thanks to jwd) is very eye opening to say the least.

will write my story when i have time.

BFD

Welcome to the board, Jibberish. Is it true when the crap burns it makes pretty colors? In any case I think fire can be very healing in certain situations. Thanks for part I of your story, can't wait to read more.

Present

by Kant846 in

i have a jehovah witness coworker who is out sick for a couple of weeks.

we ( a group of coworkers) are planning on sending her a get well soon card and present (teddy bear).

will this be disrespecting her as a jehovah's witness and her religous beliefs.. thank you for your quick response.

BFD

It's OK to send get well gifts/wishes.

I hope your co-worker doesn't need blood.

I only get on my knees for one reason.

Why 'Determined to Be Rich' Advice is Wrong

by metatron in

jw
friends

when a witness or ex-witness seeks investment in real estate or the stock market, they often hear .

the annoying advice about those "determined to be rich" ( 1 tim 6:9).

for most of us, this is nonsense.. when this scripture was written, was there a stable financial system that serviced rich and poor alike?.

BFD

Boy, I wish I knew this 30 years ago. I am not poor by the standards mentioned in the opening post but how much do I have saved for retirement? GOOSE EGG! Last year I was working three jobs, this year I only work two.

I plan on finding a better job soon and as a matter of fact last night the first part of my plan sprung into action. My goal is to be settled in a new position by October. I found a roomate to share my house which will help my finances a lot. Now I will be able to take time off from my full time job to look for a better position. I don't get personal days here so the extra rent income will help there.

I really love this area but there is not much opportunity around here. I grew up in a large city and then spent most of my adult life in a smaller city. I now live in an even smaller city (14,000) in the foot hills of the Catskill Mountains.

As gloomy as my financial future seems right now, I wake up every morning happy to be alive and try to enjoy every moment of the day. I have learned to breath. I thought the WT$ had given me all the answers I needed even if I didn't like them. Since finding JWD I have been searching for answers outside of that box. I have finaaly learned to look within for MY answers. I have learned to appreciate the stillness, enjoy the sounds of quiet. When there is no box the possibilties are endless.

It is a much healthier state, imo.

Thanks for this thread.

My name... screen names and thier meanings

by Miss 8572 in

jw
friends

a few days ago someone asked me what my name meant, 'miss 8572.

as an unabashed star trek fan i find all the references to the witnesses as "the borg" on this site really charming.

when coming up with my name i just thought "what is anti-borg?

BFD

Excellent choice Miss 8572!

My screen name is an abbreviation of my first screen name that was deemed offensive and removed by JWD. If you want to know what the original name is you can pm me. I like when people try to guess what the original was cause so far no one has been able to get it. But it has made for some colorful guesses.

she left me today......

by theinfamousone in

i went out to see my sister and my mom... when i got back she said she was leaving... when i asked why, she said she was weirded out by my lack of trust.... i couldnt trust her,, so i hid things... its not her fault, its not like i was lying or anything, but i mean some shit, i just didnt tell her... i am so used to being called names, lectured and torn apart for being 100% honest, that now, i still am scared to let anyone completely in... now the best thing that ever happened to me is gone... she left and im not sure shes ever coming back... and iom not sure who to blame.. i mean its obviously my fault, but did the borg put a fear of trusting into my heart and soul?

i guess i cant blame anyone but myself... but at this point, im so torn and hurt that im not sure what to do... all i know is that what was finally having the semblance of family to me is now gone... the first time i was able to live with someone and love someone, albeiut with an ingrained sense of distrust, has disappeared, probably never to return..... .

this has broken me, i don't know what i will be doing with myself for the next couple of days... i feel almost dead inside... the infamous one.

BFD

Sorry to hear about this TIO. I hope all works out for the best, whatever that might be. In the meanwhile, don't be too hard on yourself.

I found myself alone after a 17 year relationship and it was not easy at first. I was 37 years old and alone for the first time in my life. I remember the pain and confusion I felt so I know it's not easy at any age.

Hang in there, things will get better.

WHAT "WERE" YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL? AND DID YOU GO ON TO HIGHER EDUCATION?

just a fluffy question ~~~.

were you a freak?

jock?

I was a pot smoking acid dropping fool. I wanted to be high as a kite when Armageddon came to rub me out and that was back in the mid 1970's.

Didn't go to college until 1992 when I was 32. Got an AA in Business Administration but never took it any further. Maybe I'll continue when I'm 52 in a few years.
