  Who (not what) is your guilty pleasure? (Controversial favorites)

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all have somebody we are crazy about that almost everybody can't stand.. if you mention their name your companions give you that "look" (ya know the one, like you just got caught picking your nose!).

  i was thinking about this the other day.

  i was truly curious if i'm mental or if everybody has a guilty pleasure list like i do.. i'm just going to assume we all do until you set me straight.. if you attach a photo and short explanation about why you like these pariahs it will be more meaningful.. .

  why, he even has gone to some meetings at their kingdom hall!

  someone calls with a large wedding tent that they would like to donate and set up in the kingdom hall parking lot for the public memorial on friday.

  i was amazed how people who came that didnt even know whitney, but simply felt a need to be here and comfort the family.

  Wow!!! What a bunch of BS.

  The bank??? Yeah right - There is no way in hell security goes by the way side just because you have an acquaintance that works at your friend's wife's bank. I think the banking industry works slightly different than that (Unless of course it was a JW teller that felt she needed to obey Jehovah rather than Caesar and illegally violated all banking rules)

  And if this has turned into such a beautiful witness for Jehovah, shouldn't the murderer get some of the credit for this bountiful witness and in pouring of sheep? Surely he should be praised for all the new Bible studies started.

  And lastly, thank you Jehovah for not letting it rain. Your protection is overwhelming.

  About what one thing do you find yourself being a real SNOB?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know, to fit in....to be a part of our own family or group and not be a total nerd or contrarian.. we hold our tongue.

  we smile and nod.. but, then....there is at least one thing we just can't go along with because it is too important.. why?

  because we are a total snob.

  Conversation and socializing.

  My favorite saying..."Be Interesting and Show Interest." If you cannot do both, J.C. at least do one - otherwise do not waste my time.

  just saw this on google news.

  link to letter here.. .

  dear family, i want to tell you that although this has been the worst of my lifes tribulations, that i am still standing.. the obvious reason is that jehovah is the faithful keeper of promises holding to his word that never, would his great love allow his precious children to be tested beyond what we could bear.

  My parents often comment how happy they are that at least one of their five children will be in the paradise (one is dead, four are apostates)
