just reminiscing a little on all the "quick-build" assignments i supported in the past.
.
what was your "quick-build" experience?.
I was on the quick build assignments for ten years and I actually liked it.
I learned to do sheet rock, HVAC installations and insulations, and steel studding. So I enjoyed myself.
It was a break from the regular office 'white collar' job I did during the regular work week.

I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss.
It is never easy losing a loved one and certainly not a child.
Our prayers are with you, your daughter and son-in-law and the entire family.

ok so here is the deal, i'm only 23 and get my period maybe once every three months, normally i feel really sick before i get it for example this time i felt really dizzy for about three days and felt like i was going to vomit all weekend, i just got my period today after 3/4 months.
i'm wondering if i'm the only one on here that is so irregular and how normal/abnormal something like this is for someone my age.. .

Please see your OB/GYN and an internal medicine doctor right away.
You need to get your hormone levels checked, etc.
My daughter who is now 28 started young also having the same problem and after years of being sick we finally found specialists who diagnosed her with PCO- Poly Cystic Ovarian disease.
Please go see your OB/GYN and a request to a referral to an OB/GYN Endcrinologist specialist.

this is the 10th anniversary month for my departure from the misery of being a witness.
just wondering if anyone on this board is from the fort lauderdale or hollywood area in south florida.
i was associated with the las olas cong.
Hi:
We moved from Queens, NY to Hollywood, FL in 2003. We did not attend many meetings in Hollywood so do not really know any of the JWs. However, is anyone from Queens, NY?

on the topic of "snitching".
i was very troubled to hear that the "no snitching" policy is so pervasive in the african american community.
if this report is accurate, this policy is a rule that is followed fervently.

Thank you.

As an African American, please let me advise you that many of us do not want to be poor or be on welfare.
When I was a single parent, poor- I really appreciated that tax break- the Earned Income Credit because getting back even a little more in my tax refund was needed.
I was on welfare at some point in my life but only until I was able to find a job and get off of welfare. Being out of work for 1 1/2 years was very hard. So any financial break and help from the gov't I received was needed.
I am no longer in a tax bracket that is considered "poor", but I am all for anyone getting tax breaks besides the "rich" because many "poor' people of all races work very hard year-round just to make ends meet and basically live paycheck to paycheck.
Sincerely,
Ronin1
her life story was the front cover on the july 15, 1979 of the craptower ... she is now dead.
the wt and the memorial program can be downloaded on the link below.. .
through his organization have i found.
What a beautiful memorial about her.
She truly believed in Jah God and his promises and lived her life accordingly.
I do not have any faith in the WT org today, but I firmly believe that Jah will not forget her in the resurrection.

if the newspapers/media will not cover the news from barbara anderson maybe a decent size ad in a large circulation newspaper would be helpful to get the word out?
everybody chip in$?
anybody good with arranging that sort of ad and willing to use their name to place it?
Please let me know also.
I will be glad to contribute monies for this.
Thanks,
Ronin1
"... since you were raised in the truth.
we respect your decision to break your promise and walk away, but don't slander us by talking about [child abuse / ngo / malawi / insert here].
how would you respond to this?.
It's not slander if it is true.

connected to the watchtower society and view this case from a different perspective.. the perspective of the thread.
The Wanderer:
Just remember that there are many other religions out there that offer scriptual and biblical structure along with community educational programs, elderly programs, etc and not use the cult-like mechanisms that the WTS has used.
There are many other religions out there preach to its members not to be prejudice, against immorality, etc. and not use the cult-like mechanisms that the WTS has used.
So almost anyone could have obtained the necessary disciplinary skills to be successful in life with other religious organizations, as long as they applied what they were taught.
We did not need the WTS to do this. What we needed from the WTS was to be honest and trustworthy and to teach only what the Bible says and not put they own 'spin' on their interpretation of the Bible to satisfy their desire for monetary greed and power control of its members.
