  i remember a lot of witnesses working throughout the country for trim-line when i was younger.

  i think it was started by a jw at the time.

  i worked for the trim-line in indiana when i was younger.

  I remember hearing stories of annual business meetings where they would open with a kingdom song and prayer (and kaiboshed when the JW bigwigs got wind of it) - any truth to those rumors?

  Now that you mention it, I think I remember hearing that too. I'm not sure there is any truth to it or not. Trim-line was bought by 3M and later dissolved. That's when my employer (Max Stutz) started Auto-Trim Design. It may have been the ATD meetings that were opened with song and prayer, but I'm not sure either way.

  One of the oddest people I have ever encountered in my life was a pioneer who worked for the same franchise I worked for. I remember a guy at a body shop who asked me: "Why can't **** answer a simple question?" I said "what do you mean?" The body shop guy then says: "I asked **** if he and his wife were going to have any kids and he said 'we already have children, spiritual children.' I mean that's just bullshit!"

  It's kinda hard to defend stupid shit like that even when you're a believing JW.

  I worked for the Trim-line in indiana when I was younger. I know there were a lot of witnesses who were involved in Trim-line/ Auto Trim Design companies. I worked there in the early 90's.

  How about you?

  I was acquainted with a brother and his wife for a bit down there. He was hispanic and a former police officer. She was white and was raised a JW. I can't remember their names for the life of me. Also, someone who owned a "Trim-line" or Auto Trim-Design franchise.

  as long as it is a secular wedding and NOT in a church or officiated by a member of the clergy, you're clear. To be in a wedding in a church officiated by a member of the clergy is viewed as taking part in false religious practices and it is a disfellowshipping offense. I was in my brother's wedding in an Episcopal church. I was still a JW at the time (though not active). It was one of the things I eventually got DF'd for.

  I loved all those guys. I really liked them individually and didn't care much for the "Highwaymen" group. I got to see Willie in concert a few months ago. Absolutely the best show I've ever been to. Just him, his guitar, a snare drum, bass, harmonica, and his sister on piano.

  I grew up on Waylon, Willie, Kris, and Johnny. Some of the best music ever. As a songwriter myself, I have always tried to emulate Kris' writing style. He could write in a way that made you visualize what he was saying. Almost like a movie in your mind.

  I don't think Ellen is all that funny. I don't particularly care for her. I don't think Jim Carey is funny either. But any company can hire anyone they want to sell their products. If you don't like it, don't shop there.
