after i left the jws and moved out, it was weird having all these evenings to myself.
i think sunday was the easiest day to get used to without meetings.
it just made my weekend a bit longer.
There were a lot of part time courses I wanted to take but couldn't because they were always on meeting nights. Now I'm free to take as many as I want without getting harassed!
And I always have a good chuckle whenever I drive by the hall on a meeting night and see the parking lot is full. Poor suckers!

many of us have shared in these projects, and honestly, some of my best and worst memories of the 'friends' were had at these crazy events.
will you please share some of your experiences at quick builds?.
Even a few years later until I moved away we never really 'clicked' with each other.
That's understandable. Why would you want to "click" with someone who doesn't take any pride in what he does? Out of all the JWs I worked with over the years, I can only remember one who took pride in his work. Like me, he was a perfectionist. And we were both counselled for being unbalanced about our secular work. We both enjoyed it too much. I wonder if shody workmanship is part of being a JW.

i forced my husband to confess to the elders that we were having os!
damn that was stupid ... he was great at it .
i also made him tell the brothers that he changed a number on our temporary license tag (don't laugh!
I didn't have to confess anything. I was a very devout dub, and I never even went out on weekends. I often did deep personal study on Friday nights when the other young ones were out clubbing. I would exhort my friends to underline their watchtowers as much as mine was, and to use different colored highlighters for the A and B questions.

i seemed to have a problem with the people there because i am outspoken.
(and this was all before i had any clues to how bad the whole thing was.
) i am just an outspoken person in general and my family (not dubs) are also outspoken.
My ex was often criticized for being outspoken and lacking tact. Because of this the elders counselled me because they decided she wasn't "in subjection" to me. Of course, the counsel didn't work because I liked her that way. I'm a very "shit or get off the pot" kind of guy and I have little use for people who can't be straightforward with me.
Walter
did you ever notice that, when a dub moves, all the other dubs help?
i remember many a time when someone moved, the person would just pass it around to everyone in the kingkong hall, and they'd all show up to help.
those who had trucks were obligated to show up.
I remember all that "moving" shit all too well. Every time someone moved they called me. I can't count the number of times I moved people in the congregation.
Then, one winter I slipped on some ice and injured my knee. I had surgery and couldn't work for the next few months. I lost my apartment and had to move, but no JW would help me move. I had to take what I could carry while on my crutches and leave my furniture behind.

ok, so here is the situation...... yesterday, i had bought a scratch ticket and i won 20.00 bucks on it...i was heading back to the store to cash it in but, not all of it...i wanted $17.00 in cash and in addition i wanted another ticket..as i was heading out the door, my brother asked to come with me to grab a few things at the store as well...this was not a problem....he got into the van and we headed off to the store...once we arrived to the store, i was still smoking my cigarette so i asked my brother to cash in my ticket for me and grab me another ticket and my $17.00 bucks while i wait in the car.
he said "sure, no problem"...at the same time, he asked me for a loan of $10.00 bucks.
i gave him the money with no questions asked.
See Morty? That's what you get when you give him money that you should have given me!!!!
If you had given me the money I would have thanked you. Then we would have headed to the nearest bar where the beers would have been on me.

you know friends, as we struggle to stay strong in the truth it is with great pleasure that we present to you:.
not trying to steal jh's position as the master of photshop, but i got some tricks up my sleeve too.
Hey Richie,
You could make a bundle of $$$ from both JWs and "Apostates" if you created a game like that. Imagine the fun we could have on a rainy day, playing a game where we could go on search and destroy missions, attacking pioneers with silentlambs flyers, tomatos, and rocket launchers!
Extra points for nuking a CO.

they took 15 minutes to remind us of the dangers of the internet.
be careful to whom you chat with.

They also took a biblical verse to prove that no matter what you hear,online or not, can be false.
This is very true. Most of what you hear at the kingdom hall is false. I'm glad they finally recognize that.
Walter
