  i was recently in the company of a jw.

  this is a long time devout jw and i served them a meal.

  All the JWs in my family still do. Some even make a big production about trying to inclued everyone, this is especially annoying at large gatherings.

  Wow this is really close to home. Here is the orgional link. It seems that some of this is how she reacted to it, it is rare because most people's immune system would take care of it. I've used river water to wash off cuts before, nothing near this serious though.

  The rivers that far north in the state are concidered clean because they are upstream of the major cities. You don't think of this happening like you would south on the Chattahoochee.

  yes, friends, it's that time once more... when we clip some wt art to a post and try to find all the subliminal wt propaganda messages hidden in the illustration.

  (kinda like, "can you find the differences between these two drawings" for kids in the sunday comics).

  here's the illustration:.

  The clothing stood out to me right away. Especially the dude at school. Evidently jehovah must hate t-shirts, even ones without logos, the one guy at the party with the button up is wearing it open over a t-shirt.

  The other thing I noticed about dress is the girl at the locker in the "bad" picture even with the dress, wearing something more conservative than the other. The other shows a bare middrift and high heels, but the first doesn't even show her feet.

  Its the memorial, NOT EASTER!

  by Joliette in

  2. friends

  my mom says dont say happy easter cause she is not a part of babylon the great...i said 'happy easter' to my brother as a joke and my brother goes back and tells my mom like were little kids (i'm 29 and he's 27 with a new baby by the way) and my mom writes me a lengthy email about how i shouldnt joke about babylon the great.

  i am 29 years old, 29. and i can't joke around.

  i know all j-dubs arent like this, but a lot of them are just like my mom.

  Jolitte, My wife is older than you, but her 40 something cousin called half the people in her family about something she saw online about us, but never called my wife of I.

  I don't know where this type of action comes from.

  I didn't go this year. I felt bad for my wife to go by herself, but I did give her 5 months warning that I wasn't going and to find an execuse.

  In the end she went for the same reason many here did, to appease her family, I understand that, as I explained, that is what I already did last year and wouldn't do again.
