Lost my entire coin, stamp and paper money collection!! surprising story.
by finallyfree! inso in the hustle and shuffle of moving i must have left my entire collection literally in the appartment parking lot.
just to give you an idea of what was in there i had about a dozen america and canadian silver dollars, a couple gold coins, a bunch of ancient coins from the 1600s, old canadian paper money and us money and a bunch of coins, stamps, paper currency ive been collecting since i was a kid.. all in all my stuff was worth in the 5-7 thousand dollar range.
believe it or not a young guy in his mid twenties from the appartments across the st came over and asked me if i lost anything and what my name was.

now this is a kid who comes across as being one of those little drug dealing punks (my first jw auto-judement after i totally dismissed the judgemental thought lol!!) he was not one of jehovahs witnesses, he was not even religious for that matter.
just goes to show that the human race is not all lost, there are still good honest people out there, regular hardsworking people who still have respect and values. and ya dont have to be a j-dub either, as they would have u believe.

Man finds $17,000 cash and turns it in ... JW?
by wannabefree indespite this man's facial hair and no mention of religion, he must be one of jehovah's witnesses, cuz surely no worldly person would be so honest.. serioulsy, he credits his parents.
it always irritated me that whenever a witness does something good they have to throw in "as one of jehovah's witnesses ...." as though they were implying they would otherwise not have done the right thing.. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chibrknews-man-finds-17000and-turns-it-in-20110609,0,6950954.story.

jehovahs witnesses are one of the most self righteous trumpet tooting drum beating people around.
just like the sadduces and pharisees anouncing to the world all their good deeds to makem look good.

i admit yes i started out with a drinking problem, then i started smokin pot. the pot really helped to calm my nerves when i was stressed out over religious tensions with my family.
however recently i find myself experimenting with other illegal substances as tensions rise and the inevitable comes to realisation that i will end up losing all my immediate family...
i find i just dont care anymore,

I dated a Methodist lady recently. (First date)
by Iamallcool inshe told me she is methodist.
for some reason the methodist religion does not appeal to me at all.

exactly what moshe said!! couldnt have said it better. im not that old and i find myself remembering the days when u could walk into a corner store and pick up a bottle of pepsi or coke for 0.69. a penny candy cost a penny.
aguest: you say it is not the governments fault that we are in the predicament we are in today? all i can say is look at the trillions our government are spending on blowing shit up in the middle east. why not take a fraction of that and put it into healthcare, or young families in need or the homeless?? i will tell you why, because caring for citizens who have paid and paid all their lives and need a hand is not profitable. war is though, and thats where i fully agree with you...corporate pigs and bigshot money managers are all in cahootz with our government. "you scratch my back, ill scratch yours" but i refer to them as the same because its a fact that our system is corrupt from the inside out.
it was also mentioned that we make our own dumb decisions which we have to pay for and assume which i also agree with. make ur bed and laydown as they say but it still stands that if we had an honest government that looked out for their country and the well being of its citizens instead of their own fat pockets and their war profiteering strategies. who goes in and cleans up after the usa is done bombing up the whole middle east? american subcontractors who overcharge, bribe and defraud. trust me i work in sales and i know how the wheel turns. contracts are inflated, envelopes get handed out and everyone shuts up cuz thats how it is. and who foots the bill? us, the taxpayer.

it used to be possible for a guy to work a normal salary and get by good. if you wanted to be frugal and do an extra 20 hrs a week on the side then a guy could pay off his house in 10-15 yrs and retire young with enough socked away. but im talkin 25 years ago.
now between half my pay dissapearing for alimony after getting raped 30????? percent by the crooked tax agencys its next to impossible to make ends meet. there is superinfation going on at all levels in food, fuel, commodities etc
government has wrung us dry and left us out to dry. thats what it boils down to plain and simple. so either suck it up and work 2 jobs or shut up is what our options are. lolll!

our hall had an indian reserve to cover. needless to say they were very receptive and since it was catholic territory lol! the priest got the whole church riled up. when we got into the rez there were 2 truckloads full of po'ed indians that drove us off the reserve and said never to come back onto their land.
id have done the same thang!
