  So Happy to Learn About Homemade Weed Killer

  by Iown Mylife in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  three days ago we mixed up the recipe and sprayed the driveway cracks and several places where the weeds have been hard to get rid of.. today the weeds are dead just like when we've sprayed commercial weed killer.. mix one gallon white vinegar, 1 cup salt, 5 to 6 tablespoons of dawn dishwashing liquid.

  note: don't spray if it's fixin' to rain, wait for dry weather so the stuff will stay on the weeds.

  and don't spray where you want anything to grow ever!.

  We've always just used white vinegar, it works pretty well. Will try adding the salt and Dawn and see if it works better.

  Thanks for the tip.

  VERY short day at the Arlington/Dallas International Convention-My Observations

  by CaptainSchmideo in

  okay, some good takeaway:.

  i have never been to a convention quite like this before.

  a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

  Hard to believe anyone was bold enough to give a doo-dad with a state flag on it! Can't you just see it, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the southwestern state of Texas" just as the convention starts.

  Sounds like a lot of people were expressing their individuality.

  Liar, liar your pants are on fire...

  i remember as kids we would say " liar, liar your pants are on fire" and they wern't were they.

  so that in itself was a lie.. but is lying always so bad?

  i mean for example at an art class as a kid when i had to commented someones work, rather than be nasty, at a picture which was terrible and traced as well !

  There was an interesting TV show on in the USA called "Lie to Me". One of the characters practiced 'Radical Honesty'. Radical honesty was creepy and annoying for all the other characters and would be in real life. It would've required you to tell your student "Your picture stinks, I cannot believe you traced it and it turned out that bad. Your use of color was good though."

  being my 1st post i figured i should relate a personal experience.

  a few months ago i decided to stop reporting time.

  i'm mentally out of this cult now but still trapped because of family.

  Interesting, the one 'brother' says the GB allows people in certain circumstances to only turn in 15 minutes of time...nice to know that the GB are the ones who get to DECIDE who qualify for those 15 minutes. The single parent juggling a job, a home, child care and spiritual duties are exempt from those circumstances...

  What words has the WT redefined?

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.

  often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?

  - i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.

  I too am somehat vain. I put makeup on almost daily. I use Clinique, botox the eye area-which isn't cheap-every four to six months. Get hair cuts every 2 months, along with highlights. Lift weights daily. I get a lot of clothes at Salvation Army store near me, there is an enormous hospital system in my area and those families get rid of some really nice stuff.

  My Letter To the Watchtower

  by AiAi in

  2. friends

  this is an exact copy of my letter to the watchtower.

  it never recieved a reply (i did not include 'attn writing committee' in the address however).

  please keep in mind that when i wrote this i had just started my intensive research into their beliefs/history, and despite my agressive tone i really did expect a satisfactory answer.
