  #1 rajesh koothrappali.

  #2 amy farrah fowler.

  rajesh because he's got sheldon's number.. amy because she reminds me so much of me.. when i was in school, i was never part of the "in" crowd.. i was viewed as weird and nerdish.. lol..

  Being selfish is not a bad thing. Feeling guilty for enjoying your life is bad. Remember that life is a gift. You better enjoy it because there are no returns.

  should there be a rule against posting PMs ?

  by MissFit in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  most people feel that it is unethical to post private messages.. how ever there does not seem to be a posting rule against it.. some people unfamiliar with posting on boards may not realize that it is not done to post private messages .

  ( even though it would seem self evident with the word private in it.).

  so what do you think about making it an official posting rule?.

  I rarely get PMs and I have never gotten any that seem offensive.

  Handing in '' Field Service Report '' even if you're very ill.

  my mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.

  she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.

  in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.

  Numbers are everything in this organization. Correlating numbers with results - not so much.

  But as long as they can say their numbers are big god is happy.

  This makes no sense. Do other companies go door to door advertising their website? I don't think so.

  They should be advertising on the web, like normal companies do.

  i had a relative exhort me to attend sunday am of the rc, to which i said no, already read the points online.. i said that i find this decade to be the most enjoyable.. people are relaxed, people have piercings, tats, hair colour du jour, facial hair, yoga pants (okay, not so great with the people of walmart videos), etc., and no one gets a second glance.. the music is awesome, movies are pretty good.. everyone still has their trials and tribulations, bad relationships, economic swings, etc.. but i feel happy.. the posted highlights from sunday am were:.

  anticipate future kingdom blessings!.

  a world without satan (revelation 20:2,3,7,10).

  This decade is very important to my life. This is the first decade free from the Watchtower. Let's see how far I can go without the constraints of the cult.

  Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

  .. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

  instead of preaching and saving people??.

  Thanks for the link ADCMS. It seems the Watchtower is copying the playbook of the Mormons. I guess you can't argue with success. What works for one cult should work for another. But then again there is that blood issue and the no education stance - jws still come up wacky.
