the way to stick it to the borg is not self defeating behaviors.
it's not smoking a cigarette, & saying "nah,nah,nah look at me".
it is not putting yourself at risk in risky sexual acting out.
oh. i didn't think of all that. sorree..
Some even want to invade their kingdom halls!
i'd wanna do that if they had my kid. i'd wear some cammies and pack some heat.
of all the exclusive, elitist religions, theirs is one of the worst offenders... and rising above it all and moving on is the best "revenge".
this is a pet peeve of mine!
how in the heck can the school board justify turning the education of anyone over to some jacka$$ that dropped out of school to pioneer and makes their living cleaning toilets!
how can any parent that truely loves their kid not take a good long look at themselves and say "i am not the best teacher for this child.
And for those JWs who are doing it to "avoid worldly association" or so they can pioneer are doing their kids a disservice.
that's an understatement. they kept me out of school to avoid bad associations, and the mentality was that i'd marry a nice brother anyway. can you imagine NEVER setting foot in a high school classroom? not ever? (shudder)
fortunately i got my GED and then my bachelor's degree, so there :p

it's not? dang!
let your lifestyle & the lives of your family become a "witness" to them!

growing up as a witness makes it nearly impossible to deal with the "world", as a child.
constant pressure is put on witness kids to conform.
most lead a "double life" out of necessity.
NOTHING AT ALL! I'M VERY HAPPY WITH BEING A J/W! I REGRET NOTHING THIS EVIL WORLD HAS TO OFFER! I THINK SERVING JEHOVAH IS A PLEASURE AND GUESS WHAT, I'M ONLY 17 AND I'M VERY HAPPY!!!!hehe "evil world"
i am not a jw but i am a business manager and one of my employees is.
i want to be able to understand her better and be able to respect her choices but i struggle with certain issues such as sending holiday cards to company clients.
she won't do so because of her beliefs and the clients cannot be neglected so this of course creates added work to those who are already very busy.. i am unsure of when to separate religion from business and am confused about why it's ok for her to take the vacation days designated for christmas, yet she can't cater to the needs of the business.. i do not ask things of her that fall outside the scope of her position and because of the lengths we go through to provide concierge service for our clients, i find that her religion is an out for her participation.
The only way to compensate is to make her do some of the other employees work while they take time out to write out the cards etc.
excellent idea! this way no one feels resentlful. and maybe send out cards saying "seasons greetings" or "happy holidays" instead of cards with an overly religious theme. i personally would rather get a card like that than a religious one, since i don't go to church or anything...
...so i just found out.
apparently, the last time my son went to the kh with his grandma (which was quite some time ago), a couple different brothers asked him to study and he turned them down.
not suprising - but what did suprise me is that my mom said the brothers then went to her to talk with her about it.
Not sure how they re-activate someone who was in for 50 years, served in every position and knows the Bible and WTB&TS theology inside out.
they wouldn't. you know way too much...they want minds they can mold...

those slimy so-and-so's...
yes you read that correctly, but first let me say that i'm not going to learn anything (as if that would happen anyway), but i'm going to gloat.. the last couple of times i went there a few months ago was because i was being forcedstrongly encouraged (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/74780/1202255/post.ashx#1202255) and i felt intimidated when i went.
now that i have become a regular reader of various discussions here, i know i can walk in there with my head held high and look at them with just as much disgust in my eyes as they have in theirs because i haven't been begging to come back to such a unloving and hateful organization.. i also want to take a good look at my step-mother.
i know for a fact that things on the homefront have been much less than a "loving theocratic atmosphere" between her and my father.
your reasons are your own, and i respect them. i wouldn't go, even to use the facilitlies. i'd soil myelf first. but... we all do what we have to do. hey, be sure to wear sumthin cute:
and try to remember what happend when cpt. picard went to the borg ship... he got a ssimilated . i hope it brings you the closure you need. good luck!
blockbuster to do away with late fees associated press
blockbuster, the nation's biggest movie rental company, plans to eliminate late fees on games and movies as of jan. 1. .
blockbuster announced today it will continue to set due dates, with one week for games and two days or one week for movies.
well, even if they do, it won't make me rent there again. i've never even had a late library book, and one day i got this thing in the mail from them, informing me that they were TAKING EIGHT DOLLARS FROM MY CREIDT CARD TO COVER LATE FEES. apparently when i signed up that was in the fine print. i swear that fine print size was negative six. anyway, i called the store and complained about them not scanning in my returns, which fell on deaf ears. so i told him to close my !@#%# account and he was like whatever...so blase'... errrr
anyway i think late fees are a scam. i always ask for receipts when i return videos now.
