Oh man, you're right-yeah what's the deal with that? You're very right-I've noticed that, too. It's like no one knows what a big deal it is-it pretty much is the defining cornerstone of my personality and none of my worldly peeps know that!!!

Ever notice how interested worldly friends were to hear you'd left...zzzzzz
by Gregor inthe first few years after i got my head out of my jw ass i assumed that worldly associates would be fascinated to hear of my escape....wrong.
most of them looked at me like "what the f--- are you talking about?"...
"who cares?

Hey Yadayayda, that's good that they actually had people talk about the person.
I went to a memorial for an older brother about 3 months ago-I'm too young to really experience a lot of funerals, (JW or other)-this was not that long before I left! anyway, the brother was about 85 years old, faithful Witness, had gone to prison for it when he was younger and all that stuff..(WWII)....yeah, i was pretty angry, too, that we didn't have a funeral like how I'd seen on TV- NO ONE got up to talk about him!!! Or share his life experiences, or "It was so funny when he did that or this..." or "I remember when...." It was like a 45 minute talk about NOT him by an elder!!!
After I left, I asked my MOm why people weren't allowed to get up and say a few words about him and I said something like, "Isn't that what you're supposed to do at a funeral?" And she kind of scoffed like, "No." Ummmm.....jeez, the guy gets no words or memories from his friends at his funeral!?
There was a little after-funeral dinner for him at the community center where many people came and they had a photo collage posters of him on the wall, but still.....at a funeral is the time to talk about the person........ I was surprised how little they said about him at the funeral-it was all religious religious religious.
It would probably be seen as "too casual" to actually share anything NON-religious about him!!! Jeez, Witnesses are friggin crazy man... Not everything should be so RELIGIOUS blah blah blah all the time.

If someone could scan it, it would be GREAT if we could get another one of those fake title things goin where you put in your own title on the cover of the mag!!!

Home Schooling - Yes or No?
by winnie inwhat are your opinions?.
it seems that alot of jw's are into this.. i think there is a time and place for this, ie if you don't have access to a public/private school.. it doesn't seem regulated to me.
my mother home schooled my sister because she couldn't be bothered taking and picking her up from school.

i live in Orange County-it seems like home schooling was extremely popular in my old hall/ this area for I'd say about 90% of my friends were homeschooled. II went to normal high school...home school t's so isolating, but, hey, you'r enot supposed to hang otu with worldly people so there ya go.
It's not good, in my opinion.

Gas prices soon to pass $4.00 mark
by free2beme ini remember last year, a lot of blame against the republican congress for doing nothing to stop big oil companies from raising prices.
democrats are in office now, and no one seems to be saying anything.
why are the democrats not being the night and shinning armor about gas prices?.

"Hi, my name is xxx and this is xxx and we're just coming around to our neighbors asking.....
ie; with all the things going on in the world, do you ever think there will be world peace? .... or whatever-sometimes I changed it up based on the Watchtower I was presenting and the scripture that went along with it.
