Oh my God!! I knew this person when I lived in Buffalo!! We were in the same congregation for a while.
From what I heard her two stepsons had left JWs years ago.

Sorry that I am a bit grumpy :(
by caspian ini took a specialised law exam yesterday, and i should really have been revising hard this past month, but because of what happened with my dad, i didn't.
even though i won't get the results till next week i know that i have failed , and the company that i work have never had anyone fail this exam before.
so i am a bit cheesed off.

Texans in Heaven
Gabriel came to the Lord and said, "I have to talk to you. We have some Texans up here in Heaven who are causing problems. They're swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, barbecue sauce is all over their robes, their dogs are riding in the chariots, and they're wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clean. There are watermelon seeds and pig feet bones all over the place. Some of them are walking around with just one wing."
The Lord said, "I made them special, Gabriel. Heaven is Home to all my children. If you really want to know about real problems, let's call the Devil."
The Devil answered the phone, " Hello? Damn, hold on a minute."
The Devil returned to the phone, "O.K., I'm back. What can I do foryou?"
The Lord replied, "I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there."
The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something."
After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said, "I'm back. Now what was the question?"
The Lord said, "What kind of problems are you having down there?"
The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this....Hold on, Lord."
This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes. The Devil returned and said ,"I'm sorry Lord, I can't talk right now. Them damn Texans done put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning. -

Sadie:
The break room and other employee areas are filled with quotes of Mr. Sam's. the biggest portion of our handbook is about Mr. Sam. I do admit I've always admired the guy, he was an ordinary guy that built a retail empire. I just think he is almost idolized now.
From what I have heard, the same attitude was displayed toward Mary K.

I neglected to mention that Wallkill will be receiving 2 of these new presses. There is supposed to be great excitement among the Bethel family that the GB approved of these purchases.

The way I see it, the elders are just third level sales managers in a book publishing corporation's distribution division and their primary goal is to secure and retain unpaid literature sales people who are loyal to the corporation and support the primary goal. They are mostly untrained in the facade areas they claim but they are very well trained in their real job of compliance enforcement and literature distribution.
Speaking of that, in the Sept. KM there is an insert about the new presses that will be installed at Wallkill. It will take up 590,00 square feet or 13 acres of land. It includes a new 140,000 sq. foot bldg. and renovation of the existing 450,000 sq. foot printery bldg. Total cost just at Wallkill, $50 million. These presses will be printing out an average cong's magazine order in 14 seconds.
The other branches receiving new presses are Britain, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and South Africa. This report is supposed to bring greater joy and rejoicing to the R&F. I'm sad that 13 acres of land is being used up for an ugly, huge printing press machine. Oh, FWIW, the press is called MAN Roland Druckmaschien AG.

I'm trying to guess where all that came from. I have recently been leaning towards deism, which has led to arguments with a couple of friends of mine who don't believe in the JWs but are still Christians. I know, also, that when I eventually tell my family, it would be much harder for them to understand my leaving the Bible altogether, rather than just leaving the Witnesses.
Hey Euph, what was it that made you start leaning towards deism?

Last night I dreamed that I was commissioned by the military to fly an airplane for a mission. I remember them saying I was a good pilot and I said the big planes are easy to fly--it's those little ones that I can't handle. There was a scene where I was in the cockpit, but I never started the plane to fly it.
Hello Hamas....I'm glad to see you back. I sort of got acquainted with you reading your past posts.

Ok … I understand I guess that most of people will say that they want money!!!But then my question is what for ? Money for money doesn’t mean anything
So Instead of just saying money, please tell me what for ...Here's a couple:
Money makes the world go 'round
Money gives you power
