Wow...that doesnt surprise me in the least...sounds very jw-typical. Not that every jw is like that... but some tend to think they are better than others.
By the way, did she have grey hair, kinda curly, skinny and tall? Could be my mother.....
has anyone had an experience similar to the following?
or had a social life(total oxymoron, i know) like mine in the borg?
last evening we had to take our clothes to the laudrymat(sp?

i posted a question before regarding the way jws go door to door.
[luke 10:7.23] and remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide,for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.
if the apostles didn't do it and jesus said not to, why do the jws do it en masse?
LOL i know what you mean heathen...they would like the company back then LOL.
I saw a sister in service yesterday by my house, there was no answer and she fell head first in the neighbors bushes. I felt bad for her.....for a second.

I always thought they did it because of the song;
'From house to house
From door to door
Jehovahs word we spread..'
Do you need any other explanation than that?
when i got home from work this evening,had tea,looked at the tv guide and decided there was nothing worth watching,i thought,'i know as the suns shining i will go for a run on my motorbike'.. off i went,found some interesting country roads and was really enjoying myself,when i rumbled round a corner and guess what,the local farmer had just brought his cows in and we know what they leave all over the road!..
the bike now looks like a farmyard,i smell like a farmyard and had to have a hosepipe turned on me and the water was cold,.
next time,im going out in the rain!.
Hey, Trucker. That sounds like fun! (the riding part..not the umm...hehe..well..)
When you go again, I'd love a ride!
do you think it's possible to fall in love with someone online?
assuming they give you a real picture of themselves and are honest about themselves.. is it possible to love this person before you meet them?
i'm not talking about the kind of love you share with your friends, i'm talking the real deal.
Cool, Lady Lee!
so , the wtbts boasts that their supreme court victories have greatly assured freedom of religion and freedom of speech for the american people.
sounds like the wt god is a god of free religion and free speech.
now consider the fact that the wtbts denies freedom of religion and freedom of speech within their own organization.
good points!

My brother had some online experiences...
The first one, told him everything he wanted to hear. They would call each other for hours...she lied and told him she was a cop from his state and they even talked marriage. He would send flowers to an address she gave him.....come to find out it was an abandoned house across from her real house. She was fat *really really obese* with 5 kids..... I guess her husband worked at night. That really burned him....
He had also been penpal-ing with a girl his age in Holland. After 2 years of writing, she came to visit him twice and they just married a few months ago. They are now in Holland visiting her family and are very much in love.
So I guess it can and can't happen...just like in real life.
how insecure he must be that he needs to make women fall in love with him.
missthedub, how true those words are. I have met many men who dont have much interest in getting to know you, they more want the attention on themselves. I just pity them...how insecure are they...to have to have women shower them with compliments?? A real man can show a sincere interest in others...without ploys of shallowness and cybersex. There are alot of those kinds of punks on the internet, so I think you have to be careful who you let into your life. It would take me a longgggg time to really trust somone online, enough to meet him.
on a side note, I did meet a wonderful friend online who I never even imagined I would get to know. He's been the most caring, supportive person I've ever met...every email just lifts my day!!

Obi, yes I did know Sonya. I'm emailing you.
we all know the bible's view on capital punishment.
in fact, in the 1969 edition of aid to bible understanding, the author notes the following: .
"the value of life is considered so sacred by god that the blood of a murdered person is viewed by him as defiling the earth and such defilement can be cleansed only by shedding the blood of the murdered.
i have gone totally over to the dark side. i am pro-choice and i support the death penalty
I'm sorry ...but the death penalty kills the guilty, abortion kills the innocent.
I am for the death penalty, provided the accused was well proven that they committed the offense. Like others mentioned, there are some satanic, sick people out there, who can not change and are human waste. They should not get three square meals a day, gym, television...while their victims rot in the ground. It's not vengance....it's common sense. If roaches infest your house do you coddle them, build a hotel for them and feed them everyday?? These psychopaths are no more than cockroaches...infesting our daily lives with bloodshed and violence.
i know i'll get a lot of flack from this,but witnesses are good folks.and your average witness is concerned about you,non-witness.i've been there and i almost became one.my ex did become one.
it's not what they are taught by the watchtower,it's how one is taught.if one was what a witness was taught there wouldn't be any witnesses.it's how one is taught.most of the witnesses always told me,if you have any questions there's a book by the society that will answer your question.
(s)the watchtower is persistent.well so was i.the more books i read that the watchtower wrote,the more questions i had.and i,always,made sure i stayed on the topic.they never did.they always avoided my questions.and they are real good at that.
I agree with Red and Coon that by far, there are many wonderful people that are baptized into the jw religion.....the problem is the thinking they have, that they are better than us (nonjws). I have met some wonderful and jerky people in the 'Truth'....I have met some wonderful Methodists, Russian Orthodox, Catholic, Baptist and non-denominational church goers and also have met real ass****'s in those same religions.
The only difference is, the latter members wont harp me until I come into their church, then ignore me if I dont want to.
I think it is the sheer cockiness and arrogance that get people....when a jw sees you in the mall and smirks while he runs to tell the other jws who he saw you with....it makes you want to gag.
