many common phrases i've used all my life have been made obsolete by technology advancements.
"roll up the window" (car windows don't roll up any longer with a hand crank.).
"hold your horses.

i am interested in the approach this forum takes to money.
apart from sex, (which i am quite relaxed about) it seems to me that wealth is the surest divider between those who are moral, and those who are not.. it seems jesus thought so, also.
luke 16:19-31 kjv describes well enough his dusty attitude to the rich who do not succour the poor.. and this world has many poor: so many, it might seem that we can do nothing about it, and twist his words; 'the poor ye shall have always with you, but me, ye shall not have always.
Sounds like Peter Singer,the Australian philosophy professor.
a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.
Quite sickening.Sadly most JW's won't dare question it.

last week i celebrated my birthday.
accepted well wishes from people near and far.
had been happily accepting wishes from people since i quit the cult.. as a jw, (brainwashed ) belief that birthdays are evil was the stupidest belief i had in all my life.. when in, i had a hard time to explain to people that i don’t celebrate birthdays.
Wedding rings are of pagan origin,but the WT does not forbid them.They basically pick and choose what pagan origin stuff to allow or not.

I am quitting my job to focus on working on these books and videos fullltime. Therefore I am asking that all of you donate to me so I can make this happen. My second book will include the provision of having your story re-told and published by me for the discounted price of $150. You will also have your picture taken with me, Lloyd Evans, for paying for this “perk”. This is my way of rewarding many of you in my important work of saving JWs.

Well put,Las.

Yes it does seem quite a tacky thing to do. As Smiddy says it would be more appropriate to be paid rather than having to pay to tell your story.
