Oh..........I'd buy the Boston Celtics and fire Danny Ainge.
He's doing his best to make my beloved C's a laughing stock again.

So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?
by Mary inok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.
if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?
other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

A good friend of mine keyed me in to how much was done at Bethel. Apparently everyone there loved drinking.
I did notice my bethelite friends LOVED them some beer.
A friend of mine was always saying he was going to turn me into a lush. One night he got drunk at a sisters house with a bunch of us there. He pretty much made an ass of himself and made his wife look pretty bad. He stopped bothering me about drinking shortly after that.

From his sales website...I'll take a pass.
But he's dead on about the JW's. Run don't walk !
Is he a former witness ?

wha happened. HAHAHAHAHA. I am most certainly not mad at you.
I was dating this sister up around Davis, CA and when we went out and a pack of condoms fell out her purse. She gave some lame reason as to what they were or for. Well she invited me out again and took me to the UCLA book festival one time. We stayed at a brothers house in Long Beach. He went out to a party and came back at 3am stone drunk. The sisters and I drove down to San Diego and hung out all day. Then came back. Meanwhile this sister,two other sisters and myself were at this brothers house alone all night. If I were in the mindframe that I was toward the end..........
I wasn't raised in the truth either. But I bought in and thought everybody was on the up and up as in being good christians. I was terribly naive as a JW.
Minimus you're so right. When I was pioneering I gave my friend a ride home from service one day and she rode in the backlseat all the way to her house. Just her and me. Both of us more worried that someone would see us and assume the worst.

What's Your Status? Are You Technically Still A JW?...
by minimus inare you disfellowshipped, disassociated, active, inactive???

Inactive.
Going to a foriegn language hall and moving to another area helps tons. When you fade from foriegn language alot of them assume you've gone back to english and alot in english assume you're in foriegn language.
Tie in that you may have moved, no one really knows where you're at. This is essentially what happened to me. Except a lot of JW's work at the same company as me and I see them from time to time. I usually give them some BS answer as to the meetings or whatever for those who don't know my status.
Nambo, I'm a full believer that regarding the JW's....Out of sight, out of mind.
You could be dead somewhere, but I don't think many really care. A few,but overall most don't. IMO and experience.

wha happened IT was on, but like undercover I was trying to be a good little Joseph.
I can think of a few times where it was there in front of my face, but my brain was on JW autopilot.............SMH.
Looking back,most of those sisters aren't in anymore.
Hahahaha. Reading your accounts wha happened I can believe everything you wrote. The two sisters I dated from Cali one in LA, the other from around Sacramento where wild. I always thought the witnesses out there did their own thing regarding alot of things.

I know a sister in the DFW area who was hit on by an elder when she was 14-15 ?
Well he commited suicide after getting caught up in something else regarding a sister.
I was hit on by a mature spanish sister ( very nice looking ) when I was in spanish. Her sister and brother-in-law attended the same book study. After the study she would hangout at my car and chat me up all the time, just the two of us.
Of course, the light bulb never clicked on and looking back I would have made a move if my brain had been on.

breakfast of champions,
Hahahahaha. I've already faded. Since I live in a different city than alot of my former friends,some know. Some don't. Mainly the ones in this current area.
I always thought I'd go back just to see how long some would shun me,or how I'd be treated. I always thought brothers who were well off got appointed reagardless of how much they were or weren't reaching out. Mainly just for what they could get from them. Use their house for ther bookstudy because it was the biggest, resources for quickbuilds, etc.
As to answer the original question. I'd keep working. I love what I do and I'd work at least another 10 years. That'd give me 20 and I'd probably hang it up after that. I would ceratinly work less though. I'd buy my mom a house,car and 20 million in her account. I'd give my two cousins tracy and terry a substantial amount in the millions. My other cousins ? Probably 100k each and say spend it wisely. I'd probably give alot to the ronald mcdonalds house for sick kids. Or something like make-a-wish and enable some kids to do whatever it is they really want to do with no actual limits due to money.
I'd re-enroll at Boston College and finish school.
I certainly wouldn't tell anyone. I'd buy a large house, but I'd claim I invested in stocks at work, which would be true. Except its not nearly enough to do those things,lol
As much as I'd like to get married one day, I'd be leery of anyone I met after winning.
I'd say either marry a friend or someone you really know, or just stay single.

What has or would motivate you to attend an Ex-JW meet up...
by Tuesday ini just wanted to get a general consensus of what are the motivations to attend an ex-jw meet up.
if you've already attended one before, what motivated you the first time or each successive time?
if you've never attended an ex-jw meet up before what do you think could motivate you to attend one?.

For me it would be like someone else already stated. Social interaction with people who understand where your life was, has been and what you may be going through in life now. Plus the possibility to meet new friends.
Distance isn't an issue.

Whatever.
Thanks to Bear Grylls I've learned to survive eating the most vile things imaginable and drinking urine in the worlds most desolate spots.
