  Ages of each user here?

  by ukpimo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

  it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

  it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

  Someone on the last page was concerned about the "Like & Dislike" buttons; they have been around for only a few years. The last time Simon did a major update if I recall.

  The OP is likely in the US because both are names of cars here.. I am fine with it being in the Humor section. It is more than amusing.

  They are already with their carts outside our local library. I only noticed them sitting on their chairs while I was driving out of the parking lot. The gals have to get their time in.

  When I was in the first or second grade (about 1952 or 3) I was taught by my grandmother the Lords Prayer when I stayed overnight at her place). She was a witness for more than a few years at that time. One of my aunts was a pioneer about that year too.

  I walked down the grand staircase in the Hermitage in St Petersburg, originally the Winter Palace. I remember the staircase because of the low rise of the stairs... It was before I had my knee replacements and commented that the person designing it must have had bad knees. No gown or tiara but I felt like a princess.
