  Oompa,

  Don't forget the canoo that overturned no less than 5 times through that dense overgrown African jungle! Remember, it always happened in Africa. Walking 100 miles one way on a dirt road.....The yearbook goes on and on like that. Ever believe any of that tripe?

  That was only the English hall. Try going 75 miles round trip 3x's a week for a meeting in the only language you understand. That is hard.

  My son is on My Space often and after reading this, I told him that I need to see your contacts on it and if there are any that I don't know, my daughter had better know them or delete them. I told him I'm going to read a couple of messages from all of his friends (says he knows them in person from before my space), to know if he should keep them or not.

  by mouthy in

  2. friends

  in answer to the one i sent him..i had sent him some christian tracts .which he admits he has little use for spiritual things ( which i can understand bless him) but he did say he wouldnt throw them away one day maybe!!!.

  he said that he agreed with me that an apology is truly in order ,& wanted to take this time & the opportunity to offer an unreserved apology for his conduct on jwd,of which he is both ashamed & embarrassed to everyone there /\....he also added he wished you all a very happy christmas.. .

  he added that he has not been on jwd since ....thought i would let you all know.. so any who do pray .

  That is big of him to apologize. Everyone makes stupid mistakes from time to time. I would not be here if for the forgiving people in my life.

  For all you PETROL & GAS whiners. Stop complaining that it's too expensive!

  here in the uk we're paying over a 1 a litre for regular unleaded fuel, that's about $9 per gallon for my american friends.

  now i'm as aware as anyone that the bulk of my fuel pound goes to the government in duty (or fuel tax) but let's just look at the bottom line cost to you and i as motorists - 1/litre.. just getting the the damn stuff out of the ground is dangerous and expensive, especially at offshore rigs.

  then you have to transport it, refine it and transport it again.

  Hey, yeah! What about the difference in car use, anyway? We have to drive to the store or it would take an hour to get there because there are no sidewalks or safe lanes for bikes. That is true for country and city living. We get hit by cars a lot here in the U. S. Grad school next year will be an hour there and an hour back every day. We have to drive anywhere we want to go because everything is spread out from 2 to 5 miles from our houses, and THAT is in the city. It's just to far and long to walk every day to take care of everyday business, work, school, religious events, food shopping, clothes shopping. Have you actually been here and just walked to get to where you need to go, or did you use taxi service? Don't base your views of America on a NYC vacation experience. NYC is a different culture and experience unto itself, where taxis and walking are the best ways of getting around. Oh, and the bus system in most cities is terrible! Takes forever just to get across town due to having to change buses 3 or 4 times just to get to an appointment across town. Our culture does have different transportation needs based on the lay out of cities and towns. People live a long way from the center of town where business is located. Everything is spread out all over the place. Utility services can be miles apart. Cheap v. expensive grocery shopping requires a trip out of town. When you get paid in 4 installments through out the month, you have to buy things in four trips at least for each need. To fill my 12 gallon car 4 times a week at $3/gal: $36X4: $144/month in gas. People's energy bills for their homes are around $400 for natural gas. Winters here are long and in the teens.

  It's the change of going from one price one week to a higher price the next week or day. We have no "getting used to it" cushion. We can't plan our budgets on such a change. It gets hard for some of us. It affects our lives on a personal level as I'm sure it does with you, but we get comfort from complaining about it, so let us do it. Helps keep us from going postal.

  Willing to part with the Kingdom Interlinear (1985)?

  by Mebaqqer2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just wondering if anyone had a copy of the kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures (1985) that they would be willing to part with (either don't need it or have an extra copy).

  i think the price on amazon is excessive ($49.99 used.

  older, 1969 edition is cheaper at $28.00 used!!!).

  JW's Raised In - Did you get bullied during you Grade School Years?

  by BBOARD in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  due to the way i was raised a jw i constantly felt guilt for trying to act like the other guys and it made me stand out even worse.

  to this day, due to this, i nowdays become somewhat physically ill whenever i hear a brother give a talk where he says (many here have heard it in different forms) "if jehovah was looking at you youths in the congregation during school could he tell the difference between you and a worldy person.

  " myself and most of the other jw guys during middle school and high school did not have the confidence or the "rough and ready to fight" type of body language so we tended to get picked on.

  Grade school bullying is what haunts me to this day. That is the very basis of all of my problems. I've always known that and resented every JW thing about my life. Now it's gone and I am partying all of the major holidays with friends and making new friends. Being "worldly" rocks!
