I remember MY first PhotoShop session
hehe... yes, I think most people have tried to combine pictures in some horrible Frankenstein manner. Whoever did those pics above did a pretty good job!

Pacific Northwesterners! A little info please--we're moving out of Jersey
by ashitaka inhey,.
my wife and i have had it with this expensive gate to hell, and we're getting out of jersey.. so, how is it out there?
what state do you guys think is better as to employment, car insurance, taxes, schools, etc?

Worst part of Jersey---6,000 a year for car insurance. Average property taxes 5,500. Price for average cape cod--around 200,000 for a very modest house. The roads are horrible, the jobs and management is horrible. Those are the type of things we are trying to avoid.
Yikes! $6K for insurance? I live in Washington too (on the east side...much lower population than the west side). Our car insurance is probably $1200/year for a 1999 GTP and a 2000 Eclipse. Each car license tab costs $63/year, which includes a $30 fee for personalized plates. (Actually the license tabs used to be a huge deal here... when I first bought my GTP in 1999 the license tab was $550! It dropped to $30 the next year after a controversial law was passed.)
Our home is 1500 sq ft, built in 2001, and cost $138K. Property taxes are maybe $1500/year.
Like Princess said, we have no state income tax. Sales tax in my area is 8.3%. Oregon has no sales tax but has income tax.
I like it here, but haven't lived anywhere else. The west side of the state is great, especially if you like larger cities and rain. The east side is nice if you like > 300 sunny days a year. It doesn't rain much here on the east side, and is almost a desert. (Think Arizona.) We have dust problems, the west side has mold/mildew problems.
Edited to add: oh yeah, how could I forget... we have the state's only nuclear power plant in my area. Take a dip in the river! Don't mind the glowing water and three-eyed fish! (Just kidding... all that stuff washes downriver to Portland... just ask onacruse. )

What Is Your Typical Week Like Now?
by minimus in.
if you've left or are discontinuing the witness life, what are you doing now?
what's a typical week day or weekend like for you?

minimus, it took two or three weeks for elders to come by after we stopped going.
Actually it was a blessing... I have nothing to say to them; I don't want them ever to come by again. You should be happy!

How old were you when you got Baptised?
by El Kabong ini was 13 at the time.
i wanted to get baptised before the end came in 1975. .
back then, 13 was borderline young for baptism, but from what i've been reading, some are now getting baptised as young as 9 or 10. .

The real reason I got baptized is because my younger sister (11 at the time) was getting baptized. I couldn't let my younger sister get baptized before me! So we got dipped at the same time.

Goodbye to the Board
by dedalus inim leaving the board, and am compelled to announce it.
but there are a few things i want to say first -- some recollections that (perhaps incongruously) seem germane to my leave-taking of jw.com.
1) my first post was also my first thread, written in the summer of 2000 (on h2o, actually).

Download the Watchtower Bookshelf CD here!
by drwtsn32 insome people are still asking where to get this cd.

It also conatins all the TV progs that were done re-Child abuse
Yep, quite nicely done. Jourles, do you have these videos in some other format? I'm wondering who made the WMV files and if they have higher quality originals.

Is the Watchtower a form of addiction?
by expatbrit inhello.. this morning i glanced at the jw calendar for this month.
it has one of those spreads about how becoming a jw improves your life.
you know the type of thing: "when i learned from the jw's i was able to give up smoking/boozing/drugs/coffee/chocolate/naked bungee jumping etc etc".. i wonder if maybe the reason some people have these experiences is because, by becoming a jw, they simply replace one addiction with another?.

I don't know, but this forum can certainly be an addiction.
