  Cigarettes

  when you left the jw's did you start smoking cigarettes or had you already started smoking cigarettes before?

  and for those who became jw's later on in life, were you smoking cigarettes before joing the organization and was it hard to stop?

  and now how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

  It will be going through my head all day.

  I wonder how Prince signs his publisher card?

  Is his brief case purple?

  Does he do mike duty?

  washington - the supreme court said tuesday it will decide whether the pledge of allegiance recited by generations of american schoolchildren is an unconstitutional blending of church and state.

  the case sets up an emotional showdown over god in the public schools and in public life.

  As far as I am informed, saying the pledge was not compulsory, only voluntary. So those who object can sit it out.

  I agree with the previous post, how far will this go? Will the courts be censoring all that is taught or spoken in schools to insure it doesn't offend anyone? Of course, wouldn't the subsequent bland and sparce curriculum be offensive to some also? Someone will always be offended. So, one must draw the line somewhere. Hopefully this trend to ultra-sensitivity will stall out in the near future.

  Cars at the Kingdom Hall

  by YellowLab in

  the cars i've seen most in the kingdom hall parking lot: the familiar, dull 4-door car, the family minivan, or the old beater.

  sometimes the occasional 2-door car, which was generally frowned upon for service.

  ok, let's hear it... what kind of car did you drive when you were a dub?.

  Arnold is a Republican by title only, just like Jesse in MN was an Independant by title only.

  Good Luck!!!

  If your still-JW parent died...

  by starfish422 in

  would you attend the funeral/memorial service?

  assuming that it would be held in a kh; or even if it wasn't.. this is something that's been on my mind lately; honestly, i'm not sure why.

  my parents are both still relatively young; 60 and 61. my dad has been diagnosed with skin cancer but both are otherwise healthy.. i really don't know whether i would; particularly for my father.

  Upon further reflection, I would attend.

  Just have that keg tapped and on ice when I get home!

  Maybe, maybe not.

  After being shunned for 24 years, I'm not sure they would even attend my funeral.

  I might even be left in the dark if one died.

  If invited? Give me a few drinks to prepare.

  Elders once a year check-up on DF ones.

  by Blueblades in

  2. friends

  we got this call from one of the elders who df'd one of our loved ones.he wanted to know where so and so lives,phone # etc.this after two and a half years.they wanted to make contact to see if that one wanted to return to the congregation.

  ( not like the prodigal,who was restored on the spot by his father,rather ,by sitting for six months in the back of the hall and given the silent treatment.

  he admitted tha elders can't read the heart and make mistakes 'mistakes' destroying someones life is a mistake??

  Out for 24 years; bona fide apostate...no calls from any elders.

  I guess I'm a dead sheep. Perhaps a goat. Or, ohhh... the devil's child.
