22Did anyone accuse you of being materialistic?
by freedom96 inthese days, it takes a lot of money to make ends meet.
i live in southern california, and it takes even more.
let alone if one wants to get ahead in life.. in order to do that, either one needs schooling, or must own their own business.

Field Service Reporting To Book Study
by Coqui inabout three or four months ago the organization changed the way field service time is reported... they decided that everyone would not drop their time card in a box in the kingdumb hall but rather leave the report with their book study conductor.
i liked the fact before that i could leave the report with someone i seldom saw.
with the change i realized that with this change the elders had even more control and influence on me.

President Bush's speech
by Mulan ini wanted to hear the president's speech tonight, but can't stand listening to the man.
he has a prepared speech but he keeps saying nuc-you-lar instead of nuc-le-ar.
i can't stand it.. you would think his people would walk him through correct pronunciation.

...you mean, you weren't raised JW?
by DanTheMan ini found it humorous and sad and revealing when i was in jerhover's borganization that this is the reaction i often got from the younger, raised in the troof jws.
reading facial expressions and body language, it was more than apparent to me that they were thinking, "you mean you weren't forced into this??
you actually chose to be a jw??!!".
