  Goodbye and i want to say thanks

  by nogs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my farewell message.

  i just want to say thanks to the number of people who i have spoken to and share stories with, i thought i was the only one who left for the reasons i did but i have met many and they have strenghened me in my life course now, basically i had never looked up witnesses before and was thinking about returning to the borg when i found this site, you all made me see that it would be like going backwards.

  i feel strong now and will be not returning to this site, mainly as i want to let the past stay in the past, wts is the past and while i keep re-hashing it it will always affect my life.. thanks all.

  my first birthday celebration.

  by kristen 4/5/01.

  having been brought up in the organization since age 3, the only memory of a birthday celebration i had was an old photograph of when i was 2. in front of the camera was my sister and i, with a cake baked in a regular rectangle cake pan, frosted, and with two candles sitting on top.

  can you stop the preaching work

  by stephenw20 in

  in light of the recent media on the pdophiles with in the organization and the wtbts stand on how these shoulld be dealt with , especailly in states where there is no law regarding reporting this to authorities.,............does any one here feel the neighborhood, town council or neighborhood watch in their town might have interest in know ing , child molestors are walking thier side walks.. .

  knowing that summer is coming and lots of outdoor activities along with children being out of school, the community i am sure would like to know who is knocking on their door.. after all, how many pedophiles get an opportunity to get into the community and actually see homes where kids live , see the surrounding s of the house, all in such an innocent trusted manner....put your self at that door answering it with this person at the door.......if you knew this.

  can we go door to door after the witnesses are there to say.....by the way the folks who were just here, are part of an organization that shields pedophiles, and doesnt come clean with even its own members as to whothe said offender is .........perhaps a petition against the house to house could be signed......and then offered to local officals.

  george costanza says:.

  10 commandments for 'working hard':.

  according to george costanza, one should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy.

  George Costanza says:
  10 commandments for 'working hard':
  
  1. Never walk without a document in your hands
  People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're heading for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they're heading for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do.
  2. Use computers to look busy
  Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, chat and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss - and you *will* get caught -- your best defense is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars.
  3. Messy desk
  Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.
  4. Voice Mail
  Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That's no way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they're not there - it looks like you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.
  5. Looking Impatient and Annoyed
  According to George Costanza, one should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy.
  6. Leave the office late
  Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read but have no time until late before leaving. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important emails at unearthly hours (e.g. 9:35pm, 7:05am, etc.) and during public holidays.
  7. Creative Sighing for Effect
  Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.
  8. Stacking Strategy
  It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor etc. (thick computer manuals are the best).
  9. Build Vocabulary
  Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember: They don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.
  10. MOST IMPORTANT:
  DON'T forward this to your boss by mistake!!!

  hey all,

  my two cents regarding "The Borg"

  the Borg are aliens from Star Trek, they are part of a collective, they all think the same, no individuality etc....it just fits so nicely with the org...BOrg.

  hope that helps

  harmony

  ps..it's from Star Trek: The Next Generation. also the Star Trek movie, First Contact, features the Borg extensively.

  A woman gets home, screeches her car into the driveway, runs into the house, slams the door and shouts at the top of her lungs to her husband,
  "Harry, pack your bags. I won the damn lottery!"
  The husband says, "Oh my God! No shit? What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?"
  The wife yells back, "It doesn't matter. Just get the hell out!"

  Watchtower and sex

  by claudia in

  2. friends

  ok maybe this is a dumb question, but i really am curious.

  why does it seem that fornication is the only "real" sin in the jw religion?

  i mean people can slander, be gluttonous, get drunk and have unethical business practices, but god forbid you should have a little sex.

  six,

  In fact, some people who at least on the surface seem reasonable, don't consider it to be a sin at all anymore.

  i'm one of these reasonable people

  I think the "sin" of fornication is an outdated form of control religious groups and parents use.

  just my 2 cents
