  I've taken my kids to all sorts of places of worship and now one chooses paganism and do I (attended Wiccan rituals a few times and read up on it) and the other chooses nothing at all. At least they know what's out there and are free to make choices that can be changed at any time they wish without losing family or most of their friends. Their friends are of many different faiths and don't care what faith my kids have or don't have.

  I remember in the '70's a maroon book with 80 Q's, then the green ones came out. Before the maroon one, I was not aware of any questions being asked of anyone before baptism. My parents were baptized at 10 and 12 years of age without getting quizzed.

  my name is matilda, and i just started a jwd account.

  i know some other posters- rollerdave, my uncle, gopher (he visits roller), and my mom, my own soul.

  since she's making a record in delaying posting because she wants to write a novel, i thought i'd get in here and start.

  i've just started to come up with this random topic in my head and some of good/bad experiences with telephone witnessing.

  ive done it b4 but i was so uncomfortable calling ppl and telling them about the bible and stuff.

  sometimes the person on the other end of the line would ask me how i got that number ?or how do u know my name?

  Just try telephone witnessing using a TTY and going through the relay service. Not worth the trouble but does gulp time like a charm!

  please have a look at the white horse on page 91 of rev climax book(the horse that jesus is riding).

  this horse is what a horse should look like.

  (don't look at it too long or you may be tempted) now look at the same white horse on page 23 of the feb 15th 2008 wt.

  Looks like one of the horses is trying to pull back and doesn't want Jesus to go forward and kill anyone. Good horsey!

  I have some good news I'm going to share with you at JWD

  by noni1974 in

  some of you may know i'm a cab driver and i have been one for 3 years.the company i've been working for doesn't require a hack license.a hack license is a thing in my line of work needed to work in most big citys as a cab driver.you have to take a test to prove you know the city and if you pass you get your hack license.not many people can pass the test.. i've been working for a suburban cab company so i never needed one before.well a few weeks ago i looked into changing cab companys.so i called one and talked to the general manager about coming to that company.he was excited about it and set me up to take this test.i took the test a few weeks ago.i failed the first time but i had a feeling when i left that i was going to fail.not because i don't know my city but because the test asks for exact address of major attractions businesses and hotels through out not only the city but the county as well.. so the following week i took the test again.i had a good feeling this time.i tried to call the guy back and get my results on the day i was supposed to.i couldn't get him on the phone.i started to think i had failed again so i thought i would let a few weeks go by and call him again to take the test again.. well he called me yesterday and said i had passed.i am so excited.so my good news is i am changing cab companys.i can now work in the city of cleveland with out worrying about getting a ticket.now all i have to do is pass the drug test which is not a problem for me because i don't do any kind of drugs at all and a dot phyical.. the reason for the change is i'm not making enough money at my currant company.we are only allowed to pick people up in the burbs and that makes it hard to make money.this company has many school trips paid for by the school boards and county.i will be able to have the cab 24/7 if i want.i can drive when ever i want without having to go and pick up a cab.. i know 2 guys who went to this cab company this year.the first went this summer and he told me he's making between 1400.00 a week and 900.00 a week take home.i'm making between 400.00 and 500.00 a week now.so i'll be making way more money..

  Congrats! and good advice from onacruise. Sorry, but that is the way it is. Get a permit and pack heat.
