tattoos...did you rebel and get one?
by morty inafter i left the "troof" the first thing i did was run out and get a tattoo.now ,some 18 years later i still dont regret it.i even have gotten a couple of new ones in the past couple of years......i mean not that i am covered in them,but i think if a women has them ,there is nothing wrong with that has long as they are not all over everywhere.ie...neck,face or lower arms......... i just think it is sexy on a man..( a few....not on the same areas as the women ..ie..face and neck as well.
) but for a women to have them all over her is not attractive....i think for a women to have a couple in a suddle place..( like for your partner to see or find.lol) is sexy as well...this girl in our town, has them covering her face and arms.i just think she looks scary......(i do also think that they must be done professionally and kept realistic.
)...i know your not to judge a book by its cover but, this girl wonders why, parents will not let children to her house to play with her child?

Society
by tyydyy inwhat a strange word to use when talking about your religion.
doesn't that sound like cult language?.
it turns out that it was appropriate.

It does sound cultish. The Society says this; The Society says that. For a short period I atteneded meetings again in 1999 after not attending for 10 years, I noticed this phrase was never used from the platform and by current members. It has been replaced by the Slave, shortened from the faithful and discret slave. Any one else notice this word phased out in this way?

The Brooklyn print shop responsible for producing almost half of the books used by Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide will soon complete its final run. The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York printery that has produced more than 1 billion books since 1927 is slated for closure now that printing, binding and shipping operations will be moved to a Walkill, N.Y., location. Walkill's new bindery equipment will be able to produce hardcover books and deluxe Bibles at a rate of 120 a minute.
In May, Watchtower announced plans to sell the 1-million-square-foot building - just one of the buildings in the Brooklyn waterfront complex. "Perhaps this building will be used by others in a way that is compatible with the Brooklyn waterfront development," said Robert Alexander, a spokesman for Watchtower. The organization headquarters will remain.
Watchtower says these changes will contribute to a streamlined flow of literature to its 12,000 congregations in the United States. The Jehovah's Witnesses' primary journal, The Watchtower, has an international circulation of 25 million in 147 languages. -

New Ontario Overbeer Sighting!
by Valis in"and lo it came to pass, that when overbeers where appointed round the world, barmageddon would commence.
a heavenly host of hosts n' hostesses would reign over the flock and spiritual food would flow like fresh brew from a newly tapped keg.
drink, rejoice and fail not to heed the sage advice set forth in jeremiah 25:27.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and
all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be
out of work and their dreams would be shattered." Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true
than be selfish and worry about my liver." By Jack Schitt
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning,
that's as good as they're going to feel all day." W C Fields
"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with
fools." Ernest Hemingway
"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." Henny
Youngman
"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not."
Stephen Wright
"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we
fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
Sooooo, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!" Brian O'Rourke
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Benjamin
Franklin
"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is
beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the
wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." Dave Barry
BEER: HELPING UGLY PEOPLE HAVE SEX SINCE 3000 B.C.!!!
Remember "I" before "E", except in Budweiser.

Looking back, I think " Worldly People " have much more love and compassion than the witnesses. When I get sales people at my door I am pissed because it is my house, my property, how dare them come and solicet me. I had respectful responses, and I was really hoping for someone to go off on me so I could be persecuted and have a good experience to tell at the service meeting. alas, no such luck (oops i said luck)
