  A message from youtube regarding negative votes on Sparlock videos

  i don't seem to be making myself clear these days.

  .

  there has been so many "dislikes" on sparlock clips i received a message from youtube.. i asked for people to "like" the videos instead of "dislike" because this will also push the videos to the top of searches and hopefully get more views especially for jws searching from it .. i am now getting abuse.. please can people "like" the clips so the balance between like and dislike gets reversed.. ty x.

  I'm curious, any of you ever wean off of an antidepressant? If so, what side effects did you experience? Any significant emotional changes?

  i'm asking this because i just weaned off of paroxetine (paxil) successfully.

  i say successfully because i'm not naseous or dealing with tremors, however that's not to say everything is peachy.

  i've felt within my brain something like pulses from time to time, as if my brain jumped with no rhyme or reason.

  Field Service meetings?

  by JWOP in

  i'm just curious: since the wts did away with book studies in members homes, how does the field service meetings go now?

  do people still meet in members homes, or are all fs meetings now at the kingdom hall every day?

  or do they now have some other arrangement?.

  we were assigned to a field service group that met at an elder's home. the trouble was, he had 7 people in his family, we have 5 people in our family, and only one other couple was assigned to our group. So no matter what, you knew who you were going to have to work with in service - there were 6 children and 8 adults, one of whom had Alzheimer's and one who rarely went out in service due to his work schedule. It was always a nightmare and I eventually stopped doing field service entirely because I just couldn't stand the bickering daughters and the constant complaining from the elder's wife saddled with providing full time care to her mother in law (the Alzheimer's patient)

  i call myself a lurker, but it's really been a short time since i've known about this site...it's only been five days.

  i discovered this site while doing personal research on the topics of porneia, oral sex, and mutual masturbation, and found a thread on this site about it.

  i watch cops tv show(usa) from time to time.

  i noticed that some cops intitated traffic stops of people that went to the well known drug houses and they take the buyers to jail because of possession of drugs, but i was wondering why they leave the well known drug houses alone?

  at 18 after the quick build at our hall i gave up on a career {except window/toilet cleaning} and became a rabid pioneer/servant who, get this...made a plastic sleeve necklace so i could put my blood card in it!!!

  i had one in my wallet and one hanging on my neck.. can anyone beat that?

  fast forward to 2001 when fractions became a "conscience matter..." i remember shaking my head during that watchtower study...i destroyed my blood cards and asked my doctor to put me down as "no religion.

  OK folks, do you know your southern language?

  when i served where the need is great, i wrote down some.

  of the most amazing phrase that people say in the south.. straight to the point.. a few that i found.

  guess what is being said.. 1) as easy as sliding off a greasy log backward.. 2)busy as a stump-tailed cow in fly time.. 3)either fish or cut bait.. 4)even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.. 5)happy as a dead pig in the sunshine.
