need computer help

by els in

friends

i haven't been on this site in a while but you guys came to mind to help me.

i hate to admit this but i have suspicions about my husband.

i want to get on his hotmail account but i don't know his password.

Tough one els. I can't help you on the technology end. How about just asking him? And what's he going to say in reply..."yeah, honey, I'm cheating"? Of course not, but would the way he reacted give you some clear indication? If it were me, I'd have that deer-in-the-headlights look, and my wife would know. But that's just me....not a good liar. Tough situation.

"Crash" - the movie

by Billygoat in

has anyone seen this movie?

what were your thoughts on it?.

i just saw it last night for the first time.

rocketman

Fine movie. The title could well have been "Everyone's A Racist" because it seemed everyone in the movie was to some extent.

The CO says --

by stillajwexelder in

the co has said in his latest talks "some have lost their sense of urgency and the organization is worried about it" .

even in the apostles day there was a a sense of urgency

rocketman

Playing the "sense of urgency" card yet again. The sad thing is how few jws see through this sorry attempt at keeping them in line.

paragraph 14 "administration" linked to "kingdom government".

Potential converts or inactive and disfellowshipped JWs from the past 30 years who no longer attend meetings any other time or new people? ; What is your experience?

O Blonde One, another fine review. In answer to your question - In my experience, it was a combination of all of the above, namely df'd, inactive, and some potential converts, very few of whom converted. In fact, over the years such visitors to the Memorial were often criticized in conversations between fellow jws, being referred to in derogatory terms because they attended only one meeting per year. There was even a joke circulated about such people being like those in Christendom who showed up only at Christmas and/or Easter services.

Waxing

i am going to try this on my legs.

has anyone, or does anyone get their legs waxed?

how bad does it hurt?

rocketman

I watched the 40 Year-Old Virgin last week on DVD. After watching that chest waxing, I figure it's not worth the pain, because I've contemplated getting some upper-body waxing done.

LDH - you must be a porn star. And Brooke, since you're into pain, maybe you're a different kind of porn star. Whatever the case, I am now officially in love with both of you.

What do you swear on?

by Gretchen956 in

friends

i was watching a tv program where someone was swearing an oath to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, their hand on the bible.

now i know that there are a lot of christians here, and that wouldn't be a problem for them.

but what about the rest of you?

rocketman

I swear on a stack of bibles. For convenience, I usually use a short stack, consisting of three. When I'm hungry for some big swearing, I up it to five. Syrup is a must.

WTS: NO MORE BOUND VOLUMES AFTER THIS YEAR!

by Mary in

jw
friends

i just found out today (from my sister) that crooklyn will not be making any more bound volumes of the watchtower or awake magazines after this year------instead, they're all going to be on audio tape only.

she does not have a computer so i generously

i think this could very well be yet another tactic of the gb trying to keep a lid on their "embarassing" quotes of yesterday.

rocketman

It seems logical to me that they'd discontinue the bound volume printing, and not from some sinister standpoint necessarily.

They'll save $$$ on paper, etc. The volumes are large and unwieldy and likely expensive to ship. Plus, the jws obtaining them were likely not donating enough to offset the cost. Most jws are pretty bad at donating to cover the expenses of the stuff they order.
