didn't want to let memorial day (u.s.)go by without using my newfound (renewed?
) freedom to thank the military personnel who have served to ensure various other freedoms that i enjoy living in this great democracy.. i know only of yeru on this board who is actually in the military, so wanted to single him out.
if there are any others, please accept my gratitude.. my own father was a marine who fought in wwii and the korean conflict.. i have a cousin who was a career officer in the u.s. navy, and other members of my family who served in the navy or marines.
I would also like to thank the vets.
In jelly's family:
Father -------------------> air force served in viet nam
Brother ------------------> marines served in gulf war
great uncle --------------> navy served in wwII KIA
several other g. uncles --> army europe wwII

I have noticed them at my university; they set up a table about once a week in the free speech area.
Provided below is a list of the people I have seen conversing with them:
(1) Mentally ill transients
(2) Drunk frat boys as part of a hazing ritual
(I would rather be spanked)
(3) Nobody
Also they do alot of mall witnessing now

i found this a few years back on one of the sites which has since closed down ..... .
remember: there is a time for everything under the sun.
helpful techniques for getting in your pioneer time .
You know if a worldly person read this they would think we were joking, but that is really pretty much the way it is.
What we did in our congregation, which was about 60% rural territory, is we developed a mental list of certain houses where no one was ever home (quite possibly uninhabited), especially at that prime not at home time of Monday thru Friday 9:30 to noon. For an easy day we would start our time at a not at home on one side of our territory then go do another not at home on the other side (about 12 miles) it was easy to chew up a lot of time bouncing from one side of the territory to the other.
By the way Esther welcome to the board and yes you are gorgeous.

let's have some fun.did you find out some juicy gossip about a witness that you are just dying to blab?.
here's one from me.. i went to a hairdressing salon for the first time and the stylist was a camp male who never stopped chatting from the second he got his gesticulating paws on my scruffy mop.. my mum who is a devout jw was sitting reading a mag waiting for me.. next thing he's telling us about his gay male friend who is a bit down because he is having an affair with a jw.
to make things worse he is married with kids (the brother not the gay friend).. stifling my shock and trying not to look at my mum who is staring wildly and unseeingly at her mag i asked his name or address and although he didn't know the name he told us his street and district!.
Hi free2beme,
I really dont have any gossip because generally I was the one being gossiped about. Two things seem to upset the little pioneer group about me 1)I took classes at a JC, and 2) My family was well off, for some reason these two things made alot of the people in my hall very unfriendly towards me. The other people they gossiped about in the hall were generally families in crisis that could have benefited from some kind on intervention.
In my hall the elders kids were not immoral or leading a double life so to speak, what they were was EVIL, doing their best to become elders themselves and in the process becoming some of the most self rightous little pr*cks you can imagine. People that engage in premarital sex but know the meaning of compassion are much more Chirst like in my opinion.
Her sister was we found out later climbing out the window at night to give boys "head job".
Where was this girl when I was in the org. Stories like this do us no good unless accompanied by a phone number.

i just recieved this today and thought i'd post it!.
a friend heard (already hearsay, right?
) that the wt society is thinking about or is already in the process of setting up a college.
Any college set up by the org would be so tied down with the need to support their dogma (blood is bad, revisionist history, psychology is bad, etc,etc), it would make the institution completly without value. I wonder what they would teach?
Class list fall 2001:

These people sound sick to me. I am amazed on how blood thirsty they sound, like they can't wait to see a 5 bil. person genocide.
Jelly (of the not a nazi pig class)
just wondering who on this board believes in hell (flaming hell that is a commonly shared belief by catholics and others) and why.
i personally think it is bull doody caca.
the entire concept is goofy.
Well if by Hell you mean a flaming place where a guy in a red suit pokes you in the backside with a giant fork, as much fun as that sounds like unfortunately that does not exist. I think hell is simply non-existence. As far as an after-life since I do believe in a creator this leads me to believe in some form of after-life, what it is composed of exactly I am unsure of.

in my quest to find an inner peace i have done a lot of research on early man and how his story fits in with the bible.
this research has also gone into c14 carbon dating.. i asked the website www.bibleanswers.com a question on this and have posted the replys below.
i would appreciate you having a look at the links especially the audio links and posting your replys on what you agree and disagree with.. thanks a lot.. uo.
Hello Uncle Onion
I understand your need to search and reconcile your beliefs with scientific facts. Have you ever thought that maybe evolution is not a contradiction to the bible? Really I do not believe that the bible is meant to be taken literally word for word but should be read like a story looking for the main points.
To answer your questions Neanderthal man existed thousands of years ago and most of the science, if not all, from the YEC camp is flawed at best, dishonest at worst.
