........................expressed the desire to meet for coffee or lunch, seeing as though we work so close to eachother.. i must say it was quite a surprise.

this sister is older and been a dub for much longer than i ever was.

she wasn't one of my close friends either, so the email had me curious while also pleasantly surprised.. i replied and we met yesterday for lunch.. she embraced me and we hugged.

Bliss, I dont often post on threads like this but I want to congratulate you. You may just have had a HUGE impact on this poor womans life.

Hopefully, because you helped her, she will finally see the WTBTS for what it really is and really start living her own life.

Keep us posted on how this all goes.

new here, so, should i be crossing any lines, i ask your pardon.

recently i asked a question within another's post on the meaning of "junior, senior" statements/levels.

the response i received within that post( and thank you ) was that it had to do with the "number of posts" one has/had made.

i am planning on converting to jehovahs witness, how does this effect my military (national gaurd) status, can i still serve,?

Brian... I served after leaving the witnesses. U.S. Army Guard, 35th MP. There is nothing they can do about your service because you were under contract before making the decision to join.

You will not be able to be baptized or have any "priviledges" in the congregation until your service is over. If your unit were to be called up, you may be asked to refuse orders as a concientious objector. They would see you going to Leavenworth as you being a Martyr for the religion, there are the same people who would not allow you to become baptized and join them as a full member.

If that is the case and you were to go to prison, you would be used as an example and rally the members by showing you as a prime example of religious oppression by the government. They would spout off the same things they have for years talking about how "its a sign of the end of the times".

Brian... you will be much happier wearing your greens and your unit patch than a JW brand. Take it from someone who has done both.

If you feel so inclined, send me a PM or e-mail me at [email protected]

Downloadable Music.

can anyone recommend any good sites?.

i often run a music quiz in our local pub and i'm looking for more inspiration.

i've used this one a couple of times: http://www.pcdon.com/page90.html.

E-man, if you dont mind paying $10 a month you can use a service called RealRhapsody. It will play all the music you want (assuming that its on the list of artists whom have agreed to be on this serve... many are), and its what I use.

The only downside is that it costs .79 cents to d/l a song every time. But..... if you are interested, I just MIGHT know a way around that part of it so you no longer have to do p2p for your music. :D Send me a PM if interested and I will let you know about how one MIGHT get around that. :D

Cheers!
