  i would love to, but with my luck i'd get busted, handcuffed and carted off to jail, all under fox tv's "cops in phoenix" episode.

  still, though, target has some giant inflatable snowmen that would look great in front of those drab kingdom halls. i'll have to think about it. does anyone know what the penalty is if you get caught?

  Watchtower Society Given Prestigious Medical Award

  by Derrick in

  many on this site focus on the society's negative aspects.

  it's as if many of you are afraid to mention anything positive just in case it might reveal that jehovah's witnesses are humans who keep trying, even after various human failings, to make a positive impact on this world.. don't you agree that it's fair to give them credit when due?

  then read on.

  It's as if many of you are afraid to mention anything positive just in case it might reveal that Jehovah's Witnesses are humans who keep trying, even after various human failings, to make a positive impact on this world.

  i thought it was understood that jehovah's witnesses want to make absolutely no impact on this world at all. any efforts they make regarding the blood issue are selfish in that it serves their own organization.. whatever trickles down to the rest of the world is accidental. they could care less what happens to us worldlies and you know it. you imply altruistic motives where there ARE none. so they won an award, woo-HOO. i don't see them volunteering at soup kitchens, abused children shelters or habitat for humanty.

  your assertion that pposters here are afraid to mention anything positive about them for fear of them being portrayed in a positive light is erroneous.... we don't have to fear or suppress any positive narrative regarding jehovah's witnesses. their black deeds, greed and cruelty more than overwhelm any positive overtures made by them.

  i'm here posting something about a love problem again... .

  maybe you remember my crazy adventure i'd with a guy that i met at internet.

  well i think that is in the past, but of course it hearts me a lot... (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=40394&site=3).

  But in this case, about the spanish guy, is ther any posibility that he's being honest with me???

  anything's possible. but in this case it is very unlikely. he's saying what he knows you want to hear.

  you can ask for all the advice in the world, but we can't read your emails from him and we haven't talked to him so only you can answer that question. try not to let your loneliness cloud your judgement - try to look at him in the cold light of day. if he is not answering your emails or phone calls, he is blowing you off, plain and simple. walk away before you lose yourself entirely. good luck.

  Being smart about online relationships

  Some tips for dealing with the humans you meet online.

  O nline relationships can be richly rewarding. They can also be dangerous. Be smart about your relationships online and youll avoid the dangers and reap the rewards.

  • These are people you are dealing with. Always remember that. They are not virtual entities. They are no less (and no more) real than the people in your everyday, offline life.

  • Treat others online as you would wish to be treated.

  • Recognise that others online will not necessarily treat you as well as you treat them.

  • Not everyone on the Net will share your values or your sensitivities. Check out newsgroups and mailing lists before you join them. Some newsgroups permit flames (verbal abuse); some permit rugged, direct interchanges that dont cross over into flaming; some require polite, considerate exchanges. Choose the groups where you feel comfortable.

  • If you frequent chat rooms, keep in mind that its possible to develop very strong relationships with people online, relationships that are different in quality and character from anything youve experienced offline. The anonymity of the Net lets you judge and be judged on factors other than race, age, sex, disability and so on. That can be very intoxicating. Beware this intoxication.

  • The anonymity of the Net also encourages deception. People online frequently lie about their identity (around 60% according to one recent poll). This goes way beyond giving a false name to go with an online ID. The Net is also littered with people who have spent a very long time getting to know someone intimately online only to find theyve been misled. There are three huge things missing from online relationships: physical presence, social context, and everyday experience. The person you get to know online is not the complete picture: remember this before offering your personal details, your money, your heart, or your life.

  • Turn the computer off. Look around and notice who and what you have in your life offline.

  when you met him, this guy said:

  he's only looking for sex in the reality and at Internet

  he's only looking for sex in the reality and at Internet

  he's only looking for sex in the reality and at Internet

  i wouldn't waste another microsecond on this creep.

  ardilla, you seem to be a sweet but confused person. you appear to be searching for love, and that's an admirable quest. but don't let anyone else give you a lousy substitue--- hold out for the real thing. these creeps will just break your heart,a nd it doesn't deserve to be broken by a guy like that.

  Kingdom Hall personalities

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just as people have different personalities, i believe that individual congregations also had their own personality.. the hall i went to while growing up, was just awful.

  the po of the hall was known in the entire area, and was just a tyrant.

  there were no grey areas.

  Would it had been harder for you to leave had the congregation been more friendly, loving, accepting? Did you notice big differences in the halls you attended? Would you have lasted longer in one hall over another?

  yes, yes, and yes.

My mum and I were shocked, we decided to ask the brother further and he said that when translated it had things such as mentioning royal blue and that they had been warned that it was a satanistic colour and that there was other things in it that was pure satan worship. It showed me that what seemed to be a perfectly inosent song was certainly not. i havent been on the site for a while so this may have been mentioned sorry if it had! i was quite shocked by it all. take care because satan is using every means to leave jehovahs organisation! with love abigail xxx

  (...and i was trying to learn this dance for an upcoming holiday party too.)

  Great clouds of incense !

  by Dizzy Cat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anybody here smoulder incense?

  i recently got a charcoal burner and various resins to try.

  favourite at present being frankincense.. my house is absolutely fogged out today, the cats are staring at me with a curious glaze across their faces.. the resin based incense is far more potent than the standard sticks i used to burn and has a really pleasant smell.
