  maybe we should start watching what's going on in Cyprus

  government considered a tax on savings.

  banks have been shut, atms running out of cash, banks won't open again until tuesday, maybe.

  lots of governments around the world are in financial difficulties, including the u.s. and the u.s. government isn't facing facts and will continue spending and spending until absolutely forced to deal with the deficit.. .

  How would you feel if your coworkers pooled in on Powerball lottery tickets and won, and you didn't participate?

  i just recieved an email stating that the folks here won $8.00 over the weekend.

  so they're going to use the money to procure more tickets and i believe the jackpot is up to like $260 million or some other crazy figure.

  i never participate and i absolutely enjoy watching them waste their money on tickets with a smug haughtiness that only an active jw can muster.

  I am sure there was a thread here some time back and doing the lottery is not wrong, just don't broadcast it.

  the june 15 2013 w pg 13, para 6&7 has an experience of a pioneer that needed $66 to pay her rent the next day.

  she prayed and went to work at her job as a waitress.

  when she finished her shift she had received a total of $66 in tips.

  The only good thing with stories like that is they might wake some people up

  NLP, Subliminal Messages and the WT Writing Department

  by 00DAD in

  a few years ago i became interested in the subject of neuro-linguistic programming (nlp).

  while the core concepts of nlp have been largely discredited as new-age pseudo-science, there is no doubt that there is at least some validity to the idea.

  words and images remain the key way we communicate.

  I do believe particular wording is deliberate in magazines.

  Those already indoctrinated see the significance but the uninitiated won't have a clue.

  Loaded language is their speciality.

  Assemblies in Spain cost upwards of €600 but Jah never made sure we had enough euros to attend even though we piosneered and prayed and never missed a meeting and were nice to everyone. Until that happened I thought they were mandtory and not optional,

  We were not the only family that couldn't afford all of them. A much more loving provision would have been if instead of flying to Tenerife and Lanzarote or Gran Canaria they had them on our island once in a while and we all shared the cost.

  The longer you are a member of this forum the more posts you get allocated. I get about 100 every 24 hours but I rarely use more than 10.

  TTATT Billboards?

  by Emery in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone ever thought about paying for a billboard close to either an assembly hall or a kingdom hall during memorial season?

  for instance i would probably pay for a billboard for a week or 2 displaying jwfacts.com on the highway or a nearby road that witnesses travel on heavily.

  has anyone ever tried something like this?.

  I remember the first time I saw this and I could not decide whether they were very brave or downright stupid. Now I totally agree with it!
