  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!

  Who drove the Christendom Car in Field Service?

  by prophecor in

  2. friends

  they were affectionately called christendom cars.

  you know, the 2 door coupes that the friends had to struggle to get in and out of the back seat, out in service.

  was it you, or did you do the spiritually respnosible thing and drive the 4 door sedan?.

  actually canadian and american artists take the crown today. and alot of uk bands only got big on the world scene because of exposure to canadian/american fans. i admit though that from the 60s and up, alot of good tunes were all coming outta britain

  who will provide the slave labour to cater to the ever increasing appetite of us developed countries for cheap goods and services? arent we all lookin for the best deal? we are all to blame.

  the capitalist pigs who hire these illegal immigrants get richer because they are in cahootz with the politicians in charge of inking any type of change whatsoever. its a vicious wheel and the more illegal immigrants there are the better it is for these types of corporations who then turn around and sell their cheap-ass products and services back to these same people who cant afford anything else but are multiplying rapidly.

  i also feel very strongly about how one poster put it why dont we send our troops to take care of this problem? because change must come from the top of a corrupt mafia aka our government. its true! why dont we see tens of thousands of soldiers mobilized to help victims of severe flooding in lake champlain? we can send our whole army to the other end of the earth to blow shit up but we cant send em to take care of our own country

  thats what my pops told me after i was refuting false wt doctrine.

  "that even if im right about 1914 etc, that we need a support structure to get thru life..." hes older in years and their lives are surrounded by good jws.

  thats all they are is a social club for non-thinkers.

  well right now im inactive, but i am very vocal in regards to how i feel about the org. ive already been warned by my parents that my talk is bordering apostate and i know theyll be obedient j-dubs when it comes to shunning but i know itll be hard on them. i sooo want to just send my letter in, and move on with my life but there is always that gun pointed at my head.

  the way i see it and the reality of things is that either i go back and everything goes back to normal for my family. this goes against my inner values and i know will never ever happen. or i could stay as is "inactive" and semi keep my family but always be skating on thin ice when around them, plus the way i see it, if ever i meet a nice woman who i one day end up building a life together with, i will lose my family then so why waste all the time inbetween?? i really really hate (i know its a strong word) the wts and how they come in between family members. its disgusting!

  After leaving the JW's, why would anybody seek another religion

  by Star tiger in

  after such a traumatic experience in the jehovah's witness religion and reasoning on all other versions of religion, why do so many just jump ship into another religion offering the world but still delivering nothing!.

  appreciate your comments,.

  yup! what zid said!! if it werent for war mongering nations and their gods we would never have heard about jehovah and christianity.

  we'd prolly be worshipping the creator and smokin our peace pipes.

  jehovah is the god of the jews...mull that one over and smoke it.
