  Happy To Report

  on my commute past 25 columbia heights, i noticed that the large 25'x25' jworg sign has come down.. i'm sure the sentiments of the entire brooklyn heights neighborhood are something like, "don't let the door hit you on the way out.

  ".

  i never got into trouble with the elders.

  i served on judicial committees too many times.

  i am happy that i no longer have to "judge" whether someone is a "sinner" any longer!

  JW's Should Be Banned!

  by mr_doubtful in

  i'm all for religious freedoms.

  i am not for a religious organization demanding freedoms from the government that they in turn take away from their own members.

  why should the organization get religious freedom when they take that very thing away from it's members?.

  WTF

  oh well we all knew it would be a half hearted attempt.

  The ARC were trying to get through to them that they had to ensure every congregation member recieved a copy, not only in Australia but world wide

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  overtake (to catch up with and pass, In the USA, we drivers pass a vehicle; I believe in Australia, when I was driving, I overtook a vehicle.)

  Overtake - used in Australia/NZ

  Pass - used in Australia/NZ

  Overtook - used in Australia/NZ but only after the overtake/pass has been performed

  GETTING FIRED VS QUITTING

  getting fired vs quitting_________________________my specialties in life are great and many, but none more fabulous than the talent i've possessed for getting fired and/or quitting a job.how many jobs and careers i blazed through would spin your head!

  suffice it to say, more than you've time or patience to hear.. there is something in my psychology and verbal arsenal too prone toward candid criticism!

  i find myself blurting out what i really think before even i can stop myself.i worked for an art gallery owner once who had everything going for him except good sense.

  Here in Australia one has an advantaged in being fired, as citizens get social welfare almost straight away. If you quit your job & have no other, social welfare won't kick in until 25 weeks have passed. I'm a non-citizen so better to quit as I did with my last job, I don't get any social welfare even tho I pay the same (if not more) tax as citizens.

  sorry it's abit off topic.

  I could care less, that one always gets me, I see it here often & I have to stop and think about what do they mean.

  I assumed it was an American thing, as here in Australia & my home country New Zealand it's always I couldn't care less

  BRITAIN ZONE VISIT - 18th March 2017

  a. llewellyn – wt summary (“why modesty still matters”).

  i won’t go into this much as an individual can read it for themselves and conclude as s(he) sees fit.

  what i would say however, is that i remember llewellyn using phrases like “knowing your place in jehovah’s organisation” and “taking care not to act presumptuously”.
