a thread of support for OZZIEPOST and MRS OZZIE

by Prisca in

dear fellow posters,.

ozziepost and his beautiful wife mrs ozzie are going through a very tough time right now, at the hands of the wts and its henchmen.

in the space of a few weeks, they have lost their children and other family members due to the unchristian attitudes and pharisaic dogmas, despite having tried to quietly fade away from the wts.

dear Ozzies,
It's hard to lose your family, as many of us know. Stay strong, and know that we are all thinking of you.
love,
Jessi

i see no problem in immigration..... they fear immigration because it is to blame for economic problems...hello!!!

!....there have always been and always will be economic problems due to the uneven distribution of wealth in the human society.

It's odd that this topic came up, as I am studying the Davis-Moore thesis in Sociology, a very basic thesis that says that uneven rewards are good, they reward people for doing hard work (i.e. brain surgeon) or that takes a lot of schooling, etc. The criticism for the thesis are highly paid celebs. You can't have it both ways! And yes, immigration IS a drain on the economy, and if you had to pay for someone else to live in your country when so many other people already here need the help, well, you might have a different perspective.

What kind of music do you listen to?

by Leander in

jw
friends

i'm a music junkie, i like pretty much all types of music.

but in particular i would have to say jazz is my favorite, but not the watered down kenny g style of jazz.

i prefer the straight ahead, hard bop type of jazz.. lately i've been really getting into psychedelia rock.

rebelledat12

Hendrix and Joplin
L7, Luscious Jackson, Liz Phair
The Cure, Depeche Mode, Dead Kennedys, Dead Milkmen...
Jim Croce (yes, I like cheese!)
and I was lucky enough to see Dave Zollo playing with Greg Brown at the Green Room in Iowa City on new years eve a year and a half ago.
System of A Down and Shakira - not singing in English.
That's an overview.
Peace!

i was interested in how many of you took up higher education after leaving the jws, and how old you were etc.

i started college at age 23 (still enrolled at 24), my mother got her ged at 35 - disfellowshipped and started college at 40 - and will graduate at 45 from the university of florida in june.

my inactive sister is a freshman in college, right on time.. my jw brother has two kids and washes windows.

My JW brother has two kids and washes windows. His wife cleans.
My dad has a respectable blue-collar job, but his boss is his best friend (JW).
I feel a little out of the loop because I am so much older than the other students, did anyone else experience that?

My story

by ConnieLynn in

i have actually been on this board for a few months and never really posted how i ended up here.

maybe it would be healthy,,.

i was raised as a witness, my dad was an elder and my mom vacation pioneered, eventually she was an auxiliary pioneer, so witness activities were always going on.

It's so great when your family wakes up, isn't it? My sister and mom followed me out of the "truth" too. It makes it normal again.

A dubbie next door.

by Marilyn in

jw
friends

my next door neighbours have a dubbie come and trim their trees every year.

he has come to know me as a lovely lady (acting is my greated gift) who has some jw connections.

it doesn't appear to have entered his head that i might be an............ apostate!

rebelledat12

They can find you anywhere, even me - out in the middle of the Iowa countryside. I told them I was an apostate, you should have seen those women run - like I was contagious or something! That, and the fact that my two German Shepards don't like witnesses...
It happens to the best of us.
