  Were You Affected By Racism In The Congregation???

  i grew up in an inner city area with many ethnic groups.

  i saw very little racism or prejudice in the hall.

  i'm wondering if my experience is isolated.

  And to be honest I thought this was a really great quality that the JW's had

  I never saw or heard of any racism. As a matter of fact, I would have to admit that might be the only good quality about JWs.

  My impression has always been that the US JWs take the whole thing more seriously.

  That was kind of my impression about European JWs as a whole. This was esp. true when it came to college and "R" rated movies. I remember a few years back some Irish JWs were visiting the hall and were talking about the movie Braveheart and how good it was. Some of the local JWs were telling them "don't you know that it's a R-rated movie?" The Irish kind of shrugged their shoulders and asked what's an R rated movie?". lol

  Getting your Congregation Record Destroyed

  by rebel8 in

  2. friends

  a while back, there was a discussion about dfing and asking the elders to remove records of yourself ever having been a jw, publisher records, etc.

  i responded that i didn?t believe there was a legal basis to force the records to be removed.

  i can't find the thread and don't remember who started it....whoever you are, here's some interesting info for you!

  I have to admit, it was much easier to bare going door to door when one was in a large vehicle, like a van or SUV. Yesterday morning at 7am I was getting some coffee at Dukin Doughnuts and I saw a car full of JWs cramed into a mid-size car. One of them in the back practically had her face pressed against the window. She had this blank stare on her face. Ug! Brought back horrible memories.

  I'd rather cheer for the White Sox than the Packers.

  It always cracks me up seeing White Sox fans getting geared up for their games against the Cubs but not for the Twins games. Um...hello White Sox fans, you need to beat your division rivals. Duh.

  They NEED a salary cap.

  What they need is revenue sharing. Just look at the NFL vs. MLB. Every year with MLB it's always the Yankees and usually the same half dozen teams. It's because the bigger markets = more money = better players. With the NFL and revenue sharing, it levels the playing field. It's why a small market team like the dam Packers can compete year after year.

  AND HE'S LEADING OUR COUNTRY!?....

  subject: and he's leading our country.. subject: presidential privilege.

  before the 2001 inauguration of bush, he was invited for a tour of the white house.. after several glasses of iced tea, he asked bill clinton if he could use his personal bathroom.

  he was astonished to find that president clinton had a solid gold urinal.. that afternoon he told laura about it and said "just think, i could have a gold urinal too, but i wouldn't do something that self-indulgent.".

  National ID Cards

  by RescueMe in

  1. social
  2. current

  the u.s. house of representatives approved on thursday a sweeping set of rules aimed at forcing states to issue all adults federally approved electronic id cards, including driver's licenses.

  under the rules, federal employees would reject licenses or identity cards that don't comply, which could curb americans' access to airplanes, trains, national parks, federal courthouses and other areas controlled by the federal government.

  the bill was approved by a 261-161 vote.

  "states to deny driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants"

  Is that a bad thing?
