  i'm a postman with the royal mail and was assigned to train a new starter yesterday.

  my line manager introduces me to 'dave', within seconds my jw radar was on maximum!

  in his mid to late 30's, politely spoken and with that haircut - i just knew it.. the post he'd applied for was saturdays only, he said he did a lot of volunteer work.

  Flipper, hey, Big Brother. Say Hi to your delightful wife, also. Alas, due to my anxiety issues, travel of any kind is out of the question for now.

  Hey, Baby Girl.

  Village Idiot, LOL. "Nuff said.

  Shirl, not making any promises, but I'll probably be here for a little while.

  I can't get BOLD to work any more.
  

  Love.

  Ah, a jeremiad against the advancing years.

  I, too, hear the rapids in the distance.

  Jehovah Witness vs Jehovah's Witness

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being brought up as a jehovah's witness means you are so used to the term that you rarely stop to think about it.. one thing i've noticed is that people unfamiliar with the religion will say "jehovah witness" (no 's) instead which i always found a bit grating.. but watching the us election, something struck me.

  people are often referred to as "trump supporters", not "trump's supporters" and so on.

  thinking about other things, people would say they were "united fan's", not "united's fans" and so on.. it seems weird that a group would refer to themselves as though it was someone else talking about them (in the 3rd person, if i have that right).. what do you think?

  Down here in Alabama, among Black people, it's Jeehovah Witness - excessive emphasis on the Jee.
  

  I always introduced myself at the doors as one of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses.

  The Christian part always brought a listening ear.

  Thanks.

  I've been busy with a family genealogy, and working on a timeline from Adam to Jesus of Nazareth.

  When I publish the timeline, I submit that it's going to set off a firestorm.

  LOL.
