  Thanks...and thanks for the link, Cofty. Wing, you're near me???? That's awesome!

  To answer your question, the steno machine works phonetically, so there are a zillion combinations...with 22 keys and each of them can be pressed individually or simultaneously. You have "brief forms" which encompasses a bunch of words into one stroke, such as, please state your name? I would write that in one stroke using multiple keys...my computer software is programmed to the way I write, so it comes out in readable English. It's really like another language!

  Another court reporter on here...you made it through..I wish I could leave but I can't find another profession that pays what I make now.

  Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays

  by snapdragon4 in

  in recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.

  as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .

  the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

  So absoultely brilliant!! You made them see that you're not some evil, insane crazy madman, but another fellow human being with feelings just like them. I hope the young girl checks out the site. I would hate for her to wither away as a JW...

  Every so often I receive a very uncomplimentary email thru my website from a JW. Want to read it?

  by AndersonsInfo in

  their email address is: xxxxx.

  and their message is:.

  you probably would say, 'i didn't abandon him, i can still serve him on my own.

  I just will never figure out how JWs think that this approach will win us back. It's so UNchristian.

  You atheist really annoyed me

  when i first came to this site.

  whenever i would try to talk about somethign from the bible that the jw's got wrong or reason on a scripture that had so much feeling you would stomp all over it.

  talking about "flying spaghetti gods" and laugh at what seemed to be my expense and then leave the thread never to return and add any substance.

  Confused....

  There are all sorts of opinions on this site; some that believe in God, some that don't and some that are in the middle. I don't believe in God at all, but I respect the ones that do. I think we all strive for that here...after having come out of a religion that constantly bashes anyone else who doesn't have their beliefs, it's imperative that we all try to respect each other's beliefs, unless of course, they are offensive or racist.

  Grammy's memorial service...

  well, i guess i can't be shocked but it's been a while since i've been to a jw service.

  i honestly felt like i was sitting through an amway sales pitch with my grandmother's name inserted every once in a while.

  it's not personal at all.

  Well, I guess I can't be shocked but it's been a while since I've been to a JW service. I honestly felt like I was sitting through an Amway sales pitch with my grandmother's name inserted every once in a while. It's not personal at all. Most of the time spent was talking about their religion. But it's what my grandmother wanted, I guess. I am just sorry that no one got to stand up and relate personal stories about a wonderful woman who touched so many lives. Coming from an awkward speaker had little effect. It's shameful to do what they do. They know there's a "captive" audience and yet they just can't help themselves.

  I held my wisdom wanga (a spiritual doll that grants you wisdom and strength) throughout and it calmed me down. And I had the support of my best friend in the world, Lisa; a true sister to me and my little sister.

  I am glad it's finally over but I don't think I ever want to step foot in another KH ever. It is so depressing. It's like a ghastly decorated underground bunker.

  How exactly did Paul keep in touch with his network of churches across the empire...

  by mP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible presents him as humble with limit means.

  i always wondered how a man with a travelling companion of two like timothy managed to knnow or hear about all his churches.

  how exactly does the troubles of corinth manage to find paul when hes over in judea or maybe somewhere in what we call turkey ?

  Obviously, Facebook. Twitter was scrapped after the sisters starting gossping about everything too much, and then Paul had to call a special assembly to warn everyone of the deep, dark, dangerous evil perils of social media sites. Those who couldn't attend were linked in via Skype. :)

  July 15, 2013 WT for Dummies

  "faithful & discreet slave" nu-lite crash course.... before october 2012.... the faithful & discreet slave were all of the 12,000 annointed christians that are still alive on earth.

  they dispense spiritual food at the proper time and are represented by a small group of powerless and humble men in brooklyn known as the governing body.

  this may be compared to professional athletes of a particular sport who hire publicists and/or agents to represent them.. after october 2012.... the faithful & discreet slave are only 8 elite men in brooklyn, ny who collectively call themselves "the governing body".
