  Of course not! A parent's love lasts for a lifetime, the money would soon be gone.

  95% are stored in JW attics,under beds..ect..ect..

  So true! I think the other 5% are still in the trunk of my ex-wife's car. The weight helps add winter traction, so they do serve some purpose.

  These magazines are like junk mail

  By that logic, the weekly grocery ads easily beat them. And somebody actually looks at those. Maybe the WT should print coupons in their rags.

  It will be in “modern” English as many young people do not understand many of the words used in the current edition.

  Perhaps if the children were encouraged to study hard, making the most of their education so they could be admitted to a good university, then they wouldn't need to print the "NWT for the Marginally Literate."

  but the "sister" who called me for the interview wants me to bring my high school dipmola all i have is the legal ged which was enough to get me started on my career many years ago.

  The college degrees are more relevant. Just show them the GED, and answer any questions honestly--but without using phrases like "bat-shit crazy". Getting caught in a lie about GED vs. High School graduation, or showing what could be seen as a caustic personality will hurt you in any interview, but especially so in a hospital where lives are literally at risk and clients are emotionally vulnerable.

  Becoming "unevenly yoked" ?

  by Blttex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been to a meeting in about a year, made up my mind about six months ago that jw's are just another religion and that its not for me.

  started dating a "worldly" girl 10 months ago and got engaged this past weekend.

  i'm having a hard time deciding who to invite to the wedding.

  Please be sure you are truly and permanently OUT of the organization, for your future wife's sake as well as your own, not to mention any children you may eventually bring into the world. Right now you are on an equal footing; going back "for your parents' sake" or to be on good terms with your JW friends is how you become "unevenly yoked". That would be difficult for everybody involved.

  However the tablets, both of which are signed "Peace and Love - Yahweh,"

  What, the divine name isn't Jehovah? No, it can't be, it can't be!

  Can you take someone with you in Judicial Committee?

  i've heard of a couple of cases of a person being present (maybe wife, or friend) for support at judicial committees - is this commonly accepted by the elder committee or is it just a rarity?.

  it is best to have her believing husband present for the hearing.

  But an unbelieving spouse? Sorry, that's verboten!

  Head Gasket Sorted - with pics

  ok if you clicked on this you might be a mechanical geek like me.

  some people love buying shoes or handbags for me is shiny new tools.. for the last few weeks the head gasket has been blowing on my rover 214. fortunately the oil and water hasn't been mixing so no harm done.

  the combustion gases have been blowing through the water jacket which made it sounded like a witches cauldron.

  The wet liners don't leave much surface for the gasket to seal against, do they? No wonder they are known for failing.

  Can you provide some specific examples of the institutions and employers you referred to

  In layman's terms, it means saying "you're laid off." It means you don't work here; it doesn't mean you can't talk to relatives who still work there or have a beer with your former co-workers. You could even get a good reference from your former boss, who probably feels bad and wishes business was good enough to keep you on the payroll.
