  im just wondering what kind of work people who post here do.

  i believe amazing is a mechanical engineer (like me), xena is an office manager and you know washes windows.

  and when youre not working, what does everyone do with their free time now that they dont have to knock on doors when the weekend rolls around.

  Work - I'm an applications engineer for a control systems manufacturer (get to travel to the boring parts of the US doing installations and training for new devices).

  Play - I run 3 miles a day and love to garden, hike, go to the beach etc...everything that involves being outside is alright with me!

  It's all a conscience matter my friend....I treated myself to a tattoo for my birthday a year and a half ago! And, the tattoos of a hopi tribal symbol to boot! (How pagan). It's so hypocritical - tattoos are only deemed as "wrong" because society sees them as rebellious.

  man this would be so funny to do to the elders, .

  bring a cell phone and order a pizza when the elders starts talking.

  stare off into space and blow spit bubbles.. .

  I was always so devastatingly serious during my committee meetings. If I had realized as a teen that it was all a power trip I surely would have had some fun with it. Like maybe feign psychopathic tendencies or nymphomania or something like that...

  i am so grateful that we got out of the borg for so many reasons.

  one of the main reasons are my kids.

  today they are having a bunch of friends over to have wrestling tournaments on our trampoline.

  That's fantastic! I remember spending many lonely afternoons as a 15 year old JW while all the other neighbourhood kids were playing. That "thank you" from your son says it all...

  Are the MEN apostates more imp. than the WOMEN?

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, here are my thoughts on the subject.

  we sit here and bash the wbts for having gender separation, but what about us apostates?

  do the women apostates carry as much weight as the men, and why do you say so?

  A lot of this can be blamed on Western Society. I travel throughout the US and I see evidence of it everywhere. The UK's way ahead of us in this regard. Go Brits!

  The story's irritating enough - but, what the hell is with all the star wars crap on the JWZone site? I remember attending a sunday talk where I was told Star Wars was Satanic.

  i posted on the dating forum that i went and saw the girl i was talking to for nine days, well on sunday afternoon around 3 o'clock we had laid down to take a "nap" aka fooling around etc.

  well the doorbell rang and she thought it would be her friend, so she ran to the door and it was none other than the good ole jw's.

  i started laughing so hard.

  Once, when I was a pioneer in the old days, I knocked on the door and a naked guy came to the door. I was quite certain he was in mid-deed, so I said "its obvious you're busy" and closed the door for him. The teenage sister with me almost fainted.
