it's certainly no different where mrs cedars and i live, and we're noticing a huge increase on our monthly spending for basic commodities - especially food and drink.. normally when we go shopping i tend to stock up on drinks - mostly beer, wine, and fizzy drinks like coke, fanta or sprite.

i tend to be quite picky with my fizzy drinks, and i can't really tolerate cheap "store brand" imitations.

Cedars, as someone said many of us in north america haven't acquired a taste for fizzy water. But its a good replacement for all the pop. In my home, we've installed a very good water purifier----so lots of ice water with lemon. Good for the palate and the pocket book :)

When you were a dub, did you ever avoid visiting or joining some certain congregations because you do not like some people there?

jw
friends

any experiences?.

I didin't , but I know plenty that did. Some made up crazy excuses like: the mold is making me sick here or the carpet is too new or too much perfume.

I know of some that literally sold their home to get out of the congregation they were in. So much for the loving brodders.

Vancouver, BC. Canada (bound volumes from 1940-2000) approximately - to Give Away!!

by RAYZORBLADE in

i am acting as an in-between for a good friend who is not part of this site.

his family were a century involved in the wtbts in the lower bc mainland; not to mention nw washington state.. he is no longer a member of the jw's.

we're great friends; i knew him 25 years ago, long before i discovered this site (love it simon: yes, still all those years later).. anyways, he wants to get rid of bound volumes from approximately from the years: 1940 - until - 2000.. he asked me to intervene.

Wow ! I wish I was living in the Vancouver area- these are gems to have. Especially the 1940's. Someone please snatch these up.

Unexpected conversation with a long time JW friend (in good standing)

by OneDayillBeFree in

so tonight after the meeting, this brother whome i've grown up with invited me to eat.

he had come almost an hour late to the meeting and looked kind of down and a bit depressed.

i agreed to go eat.. there was very little talking at first.

I also had a similar conversation with a long time JW friend, who confided about taking a break. It appears that many feel as your JW friend. Thanks for sharing and keep planting some seeds.
