  by Dogpatch in

  2. friends

  occasionally i go with friends to visit the santa monica farmer's market, and it is a good area to hang out in the summer in the evening.

  some 80 year old man just plowed through the crowd in a car for 2.5 blocks and ran over 8 people, injuring about 30+ others.

  a two-year old baby was killed.

  famous jehovahs witnesses

  by Rush in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post.. when i was still a witness myself, there were some perennial stories regarding 'famous' jehovahs witnesses or ex's.

  does anyone know any truth or have any proof about the following: hank marvin, cliff richard and more importantly, the man who hit the gong in the 'rank' movies?.

  if you have anyone of note you want to tell me about, i'd most appreciate it too.. cheers, rush.

  Did You Put Off Saving For Retirement?

  by Shakita in

  2. friends

  i didn't think that i would ever retire in this system of things.

  i felt that long before retirement age the new system would be here and i would have no money worries.

  as the years rolled by and i didn't have any thing saved for retirement, i became more and more anxious.

  What's your best day of the week?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we always say the week end are the nicest days of the week, cause most of us are off.

  but other than that, what is your nicest day of the week and for what reason?

  i always liked mondays and wednesdays and fridays because there were no meetings on these days.. how about for partying, drinking and having fun, which night did you rather?

  meetings

  by GirlOnFence in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many of you, go to the occasional meeting?

  i no longer believe any of the things i was raised to believe... but for some reason i still go to the occasional meeting and i even went to the special assembly last weekend (even though i got there after lunch).

  i guess it will take a while to completely break away but i was wondering if anyone else is in this situation.

  Does anyone remember the WT or Awake which condemned the movie ET?

  by berylblue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i distinctly remember a paragraph stating that persons needed to turn to christ, not et, or something like that.

  it was hilarious.

  i thought at the time, "this is pathetic, acting as though a fictional character poses a threat to jesus".

  Wacko Talks

  by gitasatsangha in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  share one of the odder/funnier talks you've heard (where the manuscript went out the window, along with any degree of decorum, preferably).

  one time a brother had a 15 minute part and he spoke very calmly and relaxed.

  he smiled all the time, but the part seemed aimless.

  (Post has been corrected!) Suppose you don't WANT a JW funeral?!?

  by razorMind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been to a couple of funerals recently (both of relatives who've never been jw's; however married to jw spouses) and have been appalled, absolutely appalled at how the wishes of the deceased have been ignored and horned in on by jw drivel/dogma.. .

  the most recent funeral was for a relative who didn't even believe in god (was never a jw), but the jw spiel droned on for so long that the deceased's own "worldly" siblings were glancing at their watches in disbelief.

  one of the siblings had a speech at the funeral ceremony, and was very touching and heartfelt in talking about the deceased's life, but then a jw relative had a speaking part too, and lost everyone from that point on.
