as a surprise for my husbands birthday, i got this tattoo.
the picture is kind of blurry, it was hard to take!.
i know i said i was going to get it on my posterior, but i wanted to be able to see it!
Princess, if Steve writes a dollar amount and the date above the signature tatoo, are you able to go to the bank and cash yourself?

PS Just kidding, I respect your tolerance for pain...oh...umm...I forgot...you've been out in field service before.
which is worlds most civilized nation?.
what do you reckon, if there is indeed such a thing as the most civilized country.. to be civilized means:cause to improve from a savage or primative form of human society to a more developed one.. so that rules out any country that allows its inhabitans to run round armed to the teeth.. the country would need good standards of living, and education.. laws that allow maximun freedoms without impinging too much on other people.. good safty codes and regulations and good care for elderly .. so who is doing it best in the world at the moment?.

I've heard Afghanistan has made some improvements lately, what with the PPCLI keeping the 'hardliners' heads down long enough for Afhgan kids to try and get an education.

for a privileged few, you get an article with your lifes story published in the wt.
most at least receive a grand send off with a kh memorial service.. my father passed away a couple of weeks ago.
he was just shy of his 89th birthday.
Sorry to hear about the passing away of your Dad, Mak’ and thanks for posting your thoughts.
My father, a Jehovah’s Witness since the late 40’s until his death also passed away under similar circumstances.
I suppose our Dad’s did the best they could, given the limited and distorted information the corporation demanded they work with.
With access to better education, hopefully, some of their offspring will fair better and make it easier to remove themselves from the same psychological trap.

since i have an slr camera, i thought i would try to catch up on the rest of the world and purchase a digital camera.
i must buy one in the next few days....i leave for an alaskan curise on friday.
myself and my husband need to figure out how to work it and see the pics on the kickass computer we have.
Puffs' think about sticking with your SLR, and using a good quality 35mm film scanner to store selected images on your computer.
Have a great trip! Who knows, Some of us might run into both of you when you visit Skagway!

think about it.. you have to be interviewed (baptismal prep questions).
you have to enter a contract (the two baptismal questions).
everyone has a job description and job requirements (ministerial servants, elders, co, po, pioneer, publisher).
Not only was I, from birth, and my father, mother, brothers and sisters, as Jehovah's Witnesses, employee's of the WTBTS Corporation with a deferred ‘income’ scheme payable only once one ‘snuffed it’, we were also, by far, the major consumer of its products because regardless of who's dusty shelf or trash can the WTBTS bi-monthly magazines and hard cover publications ended up in, the fact is, every nickel was 'donated' or paid in advance, using our own after-tax, cold-hard cash.
The final irony, now that over the years the WTBTS has reached a state of financial self-perpetual motion, there appears to be less of a corporate need for families such as ours for little else than retaining a sufficient number to be used to maintain the corporation IRS tax-free 'religious' status on revenue generation.

we were driving in her car a couple of weeks ago, (the night i have visited her kh) and she told me, that she was going to postpone her november trip to italy; instead, she was thinking about going when the new system was here.
i asked her amusedly: "are there going to be airplanes on the new system?"...
she responded: "well.... we are going to be using our 100% of our brains".
and she told me, that she was going to postpone her November trip to Italy; instead, she was thinking about going when the New System was here
Yad’, although you didn’t provide your daughters age, my first intuitive response to the above quote was; something else in her life, other than a trip to Italy, is being perceived, by her, as more of a priority.
Depending on her age, it just might be possible, she's either thinking about trying to get ‘hitched’, acquiring a mortgage, or thinking that international travel might be a little risky right now.
I suspect her excuse of, and actual belief in, “…waiting for the WTBTS version of a ‘New System’ ™…” is a crock, but, as usual, must keep up the approved WTBTS corporate appearance if she wishes to remain desirable amongst her peers of Jehovah's Witnesses.

all you have to do is take a few days off from work, the rest is a piece of cake.
Good one!...one.

i am new to this forum, but i have been lurking for a while.
you all seem pretty friendly, i hope you will be nice to me even though i am still a jehovah's witness.
i wonder if you all have heard about the new arrangement for putting in field service reports.
…I hope you will be nice to me even though I am still a Jehovah's Witness.
Welcome the’, I know how you feel as my parents demanded I be raised a Jehovah’s Witness. But I think you’re missing the point, now that you’re here.
It’s not what corporations products or publications an individual believes to be the correct ones to ‘flog’ that causes a self fulfilling negative reaction during conversation in this regard.
But rather ill-informed or disingenuous expressions one uses in the attempt to justify, why, one follows a self-professed ‘religious’, private American corporation that uses its adherents to suit its own corporate financial desires.

because of the internet:.

Did someone hear a dog bark?
Now that's hilarious! Thanks J.

i' so tired of this.
sometime, i'd just like to say goodbye cruel world but, it would be too easy to do this.
when i was in the borg, they were telling me that when someone go out of the org, he have a lot of problems and that's exactly what happen to me.
…I'm wondering why the hell do I have to live on this earth if it's just to be a jerk with no social life.
Nic’, if you don’t have a social life, how’s it possible persons that don’t exist would think you a jerk?
On the other hand, you might agonize that you don’t have a social life because you believe others have found you to be a jerk.
The reality is, almost all individuals have their own mountain of worries, and they really don’t dwell on anyone else's for any length of time.
You're here and you fit, so quit wasting time figuring out whether you're a 'square peg' and contribute to your community by finding someone and/or something to love.
