uh huh.. syl.
I say if the fashion is pants down sagging round the butt then so be it. Teens darent stand out otherwise they suffer unecessarily due to peer pressure... Something JW kids have had to put up with for years... so snowbird its hard chedder if you dont like it.
Im sure there are many things that current teens dont like about your dress code, but they equally have to put up with it.... lol
Im neither old nor young but know better than to question their style ....

so far i've managed to avoid speaking to the elders who drop by.
just wondering if they'll eventually give up in a couple years.
anyone have experience with this?.
Weve faded for a whole year now. Weve had visits every month, then every 6 weeks and then out the blue 2 weekly. They so far havent been for the last 6 weeks so Im hoping they will eventually leave us alone. They seem determined to keep dropping the latest WT / Awake with us. Im not altogether sure I want this to stop as I like looking through them to laugh and scoff at the rubbish in them. There is absolutely NO danger that I will get re-sucked in !!!!
I had hoped to tell them to push off as Id really love to decorate the front of the house for Xmas (for the benefit of my junior/teen children) but quite frankly I dont see this happening...
I dream of a hugh blow up Father Xmas on the lawn, and instead of a sign stating Santa Stop Here i'd have Bog Off JW's :)
greetings, fellow posters:.
mrs. jones thread on our being outgoing or otherwise spurred my thinking of this.
while being on a forum is hardly the same as talking face-to-face, we show who we are by our "conversation" as expressed through writing.
I dont care how I am addressed as long as its no longer Sister so n so
my father in law visited us today full of the joys of spring... he was excited to declare that he has been doing security on the kingdom hall quick build.
he has been left alone in a portacabin / caravan on duty with a sister between the hours of 12 midnight until 6 am in the morning !!!.
i think it is disgusting that a 72 year old man is being used like this... how they can expect him to be of any good in seeing off teenage thugs is beyond me.
No there not married & they are not seeing one another. The mother in law died 2 years ago. The rosta wasnt of his own making, but designed by brothers to enable 7 or 8 different congregations to share in 24 hour security surveillance... I dont care myself that they are together but I find it totally suprising that the brothers actually put them together on a rosta!

Brothers and sisters are rallying around making up hot dinners for the workers (Free food of course for Free Services Rendered!) - What is more the JW's who are making up the food are doing a 50 mile round trip to ensure that the brothers are fed, when there is a KFC and numerous other fast food outlets on their doorstep....
He will be on Security for another 6-8 weeks. His other jobs with include keeping an inventory of deliveries from the organisations preferred suppliers !
for those of you who were a skilled worker, were you constantly inundated by jw's wanting you to help you fix their problem?
at rock bottom prices or for free?
my brother in law used to fix tv's and he was constantly being contacted by jw's who he had not spoken to in years, yet when they wanted something they were there quick as a flash.

I used to think it was such a cheek, especially when they clearly wanted a freebie fix or a major discount !!! Anyone else have this problem???
how did you meet your mate (convention, local hall)?
did you date long?
did you really have anything in common other than the same religion?
Besides us being in the same book group I didnt even notice my now husband because he was so quiet... It was only after a chance meeting where a group of us Teens all met up to go Ice-skating, that we first came into contact and I finally learnt his name. He had gone skating with another sister, with the purpose of being on another sort of date, but I didnt realise this. As my hubby was a terrible skater I helped him around the rink.... The sister he was there with was seething. I learnt this because all the other JW teens kept asking me did I like him? And why was I spending so much time teaching him to skate! I simply was doing what I thought others did & that was to help a fellow christian learn to skate ! I had absolutely no interest in him as his fashion sense was so VERY bad. (lol) He was very skinny and wore pale pink V neck jumpers that were fitted, drain pipe skinny trousers and the most god awful coat it was embarrassing....
Fast Forward he started to chat with me at the book group and I realised he had a good sense of humor, and we had a lot in common (other than religion). No looking back, our friendship/love blossomed (over 6 months) and we finally got to date the day I got baptised. 3 months after my baptism we were engaged. 1 year later we were married... During our courtship I was able to completely change his fashion sense and turn him into a fashionable dude. The other sister was absolutely livid. My hubbys mom got on her high horse when I cleared out his wardrobe of vile clothes, and she told me that I wasnt married to her son yet and that I was to put all the clothes back! (Stupid as he was NEVER going to wear them again on my shift !!!)
We had a chaperone for a while, but then our parents felt that we were mature enough to be left alone. Needless to say that was a big mistake & our celibacy didnt last :) 20 years later were still happily married & we now have 4 junior/teen children...
We were made for each other ......
