I am going to school to get my CADC I (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor) certificate. I am 36 yrs old now and I could forever kick my hiney for not starting ealier.......because I was too busy going door to door. I'm taking my life into my own hands and making myself happy by giving my kids and I a better and fulfilling life. It is wonderful not to feel guilty about doing this now! Plus I will be helping people and reaching out to the community, which I think is my calling for this life. I also plan on taking some courses on Sociology.

GRANDMA'S LETTER
The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and
saw a honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker.I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just
come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous
prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper.I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't
notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he
hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was
sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when
he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What
an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and
started waving and smiling at all these loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love.There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him
yelling something about a sunny beach...
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle
finger stuck up in the air.When I asked my teenage grandson
in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good
luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I
leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying
this religious experience. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the
moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but
this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and
drove on through the intersection.I noticed I was the only car that got through the
intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I
had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car
down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign
one last time as I drove away.Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

I like all of them, but I can't stand "Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney! I think that's the name of it. He repeats the same thing over and over through the whole song.....I get tired of it very quickly!

When You Were Engaged, Did You Do It???
by minimus inmost of the people that i know of that got married in a kingdom hall never admitted to "loose conduct" or "fornication" until sometime after their consciences bothered them.
some never had a conscience issue , but they did tell their friends , who, in turn, told others that they really weren't "qualified" to get married in the hall.
do you think that most jw couples "fool around" before they get married?

I'm really surprised when I hear that couples fooled around before they were married in the Kingdom Hall. I must have been one of the few "good little witnesses". I met my Ex when I was 16, we were married when I was 22, and we never did "IT". We waited until after we were married. I remember thinking to myself, "Hu? This is it? This is what JW's get df'd for?" Needless to say, I was very unimpressed with my hubby I've learned now that there is better!

Boosting Attendance or Hunting Apostates?
by Elsewhere in.
recently, and reportedly in coming months, elders will be contacting inactive members.. it has been suggensted that their main objective is to hunt for apostates.. i'm inclined to think that "finding apostates" is just a side effect of their main objective, which is to boost meeting attendance.. any thoughts?

And once they find them, what will they do with the Apostates?

Suicide Blonde
A blonde hurries into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off.
"How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked her.
"Well, I was trying to commit suicide," the blonde replied.
"What?" sputtered the doctor. "You tried to commit suicide by shooting your finger off?"
"No silly!" the blonde said. "First I put the gun to my chest, and I thought: I just paid $6,000.00 for these breast implants, I'm not shooting myself in the chest."
"So then?" asked the doctor.
"Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought: I just paid $3000.00 to get my teeth straightened, I'm not shooting myself in the mouth."
"So then?"
"Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in the other ear before I pulled the trigger."
