  Charities

  by noidea in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am employed with the federal government and we are a new branch so we are in the midst of setting up donations for charity to be donated through our paychecks.

  anyway, i volunteered to be a coordinator for the cfc (combined federal campaign) in which i was encouraging people to give some out of their paycheck to a charity of their choice..i have to admit i had flashbacks of being in field service while doing this..lol

  i will say that i asked a few jw's that worked there and they didn't give *knows where their money goes.

  Oskar Schindler, I know, he didn't impart great knowledge on the world. But in his own right, he's the greatest person to live.

  this weekend is the annual greek food festival, sponsored by our local greek orthodox church, and for the first time i'm going!!!

  mom, who is greek, and dad never let me go because to participate would be giving money to bad old babylon the great, and i followed that stupid rule after i got married too.

  well, no more -- we're going to the food festival!.

  everyone has a very emotional and special moment in their life that they will always remember.

  for me, it was when i held my son in my arms for the first time, looked into his beautiful brown eyes, and fell in love for the rest of my life.

  that's the "good stuff.

  Sorry, I really don't have any. All of my "good things" are in one way or another, tainted.

  No Respect

  by StinkyPantz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a friend who refuses to tell me how old he is.

  he claims that people often judge you or pigeon-hole you when they find out how old you are.

  i have tried to argue against this point, but i have recently realized how true this is.

  Thread Motivation

  by StinkyPantz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever wonder why certain people start certain threads?

  i mean, sure the quizzes are sometimes fun, the "what did you eat for breakfast?

  " threads can be participated by all; but do people actually sit around wondering what your zip code is?.
