ok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.
if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?
other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........
I would be philanthropic with half of it. and live very nicely on the rest. I would buy a house in California and one in the Florida Keys, and enjoy the variety of both places. One of my charities would be to set up a halfway house for ex JW's kicked out on the street by their family, to help them restart their lives and have a safe place to stay.

i have a friend, she has been my friend for over 20 years...in that 20 years i have seen her reasonably regularly.
i visit her, she visits me.. the thing that has started bugging me is this...... when i visit her it is normally in the daytime.
i stop in for a cuppa and a chat.
I have a trick for you that may work.
After she eats dinner with you next time, put the dishes on the floor and let the dogs lick them clean. Then put them directly into the cupboard. That may get her to quit coming for meals.
Just a thought.

I didn't see a lot of drinking as a JW. I was too busy drinking.

as most of us know the wt society has always claimed that it's dissapproved in god's sight to marry a non-jw .
although they've never made it a disfellowshipping offense, any jw who marries outside the jw organization is looked at as " weak " or lacking " spirituality " and loses certain alleged " privileges " in the congregations.
they use scriptures in the old testament as support for this.
The reason that they keep regurgitating this crap is that THEY HAVE NO NEW IDEAS! That is probably why they are cutting the Watchtower down to 16 pages.

i dont know where to begin.
i do know it might get lengthy so i'm sorry for that.
and also many thanks to all who read the whole thing.
It looks like you may have a "yo-yo girl" on your hands. The kind that can never make up their mind about anything. If so, you are setting yourself up for a lot of pain and heartache.
They will get real close and tell you that they love you, then back off and leave you hanging. Then you are crushed and getting better, and all of a sudden they come back into your life like a tornado and do even worse damage. I would leave it alone.
My yo-yo really messed my mind up in a 4 year relationship/non-relationship. I am going to counseling to help me get over some of the issues of abandonment stemming from that.
Run Forrest, Run!

i've been considering it for awhile strictly for just general overall health.
i don't take any meds, and would like to keep it that way for as long as i can.
i am a "all things in moderation " type of person but the more i read about excluding dairy and meat, the more i think about doing it.
"Where are clams and oysters on the food chain."
They don't have butts, so they should count as a vegetable.
