I have a 1999 Ford Super Duty Diesel powered pickup, I used to sell diesel performance parts and my pick-up had advertising on the tail gate, my license plate is RUSLOW.

Myself and others accused my wife of being crazy (I love her) Her license plate on her minivan is PLNCRZ and the other one has GONCRZ.

Guys answer me this: what dos all the beeping mean????

being an ex cult member i don't understand this... i walk into town and back and on my way theres always these men driving past in cars who honk their horns at me.

is it some form of comunication?

am i supposed to respond in some way???.

Those guys are lazy stupid douche bags and are not worth your time. Any man that respects a female does not honk, hoot or whistle at her. In that moment you have learned everything you need to know about that fool.

The proper and equal response is do nothing or this.

Popularity

i haven't been on here long but from what i have seen it is a pretty tight nit group here.

i was wondering out of all the people that have come and gone has there been any that are missed?

the most popular, either in a good or bad way.. .

I'd assume you intend "tight nit" in a positive.

I think many here know each other well.

It's good place

The wife and I absolutely love him.

No grand baby is better then the next but he is the first baby from our only daughter. (We have 3 boys one girl)

Thanks for the comments

We wish he lived a bit closer but his Dad and Mom have a wonderful thing going in Spokane and we can travel to see him and the other grand son (he also lives in Spokane) whenever we can find the time. Our 21 year old son works for Alaska Airlines and as his parents we can fly (FREE !) on stand by.

Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

by Mad Sweeney in

the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

My awakening and realization that I have been told a lie

by Soldier77 in

friends

hi all, new posting, but i've been lurking for a while.

i thought it was time to "come out" as it were and voice my story.... i was born into the jw cult surrounded by all of my jw family.

grandfather was an elder for almost 40 years till he passed, both of my uncles are currently now elders and have been for the last 15 years.

You will find the living is fantastically better then living a lie.

I was born in also and didn't realize how big the lie was until many years later.

Stay strong and stay out
