i've thought about this, the problem is there are so many wonderful choice's, i don't know where to start!
i always had a thing for tiffany, the singer, when i was younger!
Nichole Kidman comes to mind first, but that could change by next week.

"god kept making it grow.
" how thrilling it has been to see the growth in the united states field!.
during the 2003 service year, over 70,000 new bible studies were started.
New printing presses? Increased production? Sounds like a book publishing business to me.
Yes, it does sound like a business. It makes me wonder. Not that this would likely happen, but if the society were to disolve its corporations and sell off all assets, which individuals would get the money? I'm sure someone up there is raking in some big bucks.

instead of bringing out the negatives about being a witness, let's relate some good experiences!
i'll start.
i remember a sister that brought up all her kids up in the "truth" and her husband was very opposed but later he started studying and he even got baptized.
Good experiences? Sure, no problem.
One brother introduced me to single malt scotch, cognac, and other good drinks. Microbreweries too! We often went to strip bars, where he would sometimes get on stage and dance with the girls. Amazingly enough, he never got thrown out!
There weren't nearly enough guys like that in the org.

i admit i have never voted (shame), the last couple of years i have decided to vote but when the time comes i back out.
i like having the freedom to choose whether to vote or not but i never know who to vote on the day that counts and then i feel uncomfortable at the last minute.. how about you?
brummie
YESSS!!!!
Now I'm out of the org, and working for a political party. We have an upcoming provincial election here in Ontario, and I'm looking forward to it! I'm looking forward to our victory celebration too!

what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?
we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.
for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.
"Well if your jobs interupt your meeting attendence, you need to quit them, Jehovah will provide."
Yeah, I fell for this crap once and didn't accept evening shift jobs because I didn't want to miss meetings. The only thing I was 'provided' with was an eviction notice for non-payment of rent.

when elders question you to see if everything's alright, what would you really like to tell them, if you could??
?.
I have my freedom of speech, and I exercised it both in my DA letter, and in person.
In person, I said that as far as my personal life goes, the elders had better learn their place. If they had a problem with that, I was more than qualified to teach it to them. Needless to say, that was the beginning of the end of my time with the JW's.
In my DA letter I essentially told them the WTS was a skanky whore.

i read through the thread entitled "what is your favorite kingdom melody?
", but i couldn't find any i liked.
i found quite a few i really hated though.
Great lyrics!
I bet alot of the kingdumb songs could be re-written so they'd be alot more accurate!

i swear i'm not making this up... i noticed that the blackice firewall on my work computer was going nuts, so i took a look at it and it said this...
where's a smurf buster when ya need one??
DO NOT go back to meetings! This is clearly a case of JW's masquarading as smurfs, trying to scare you into compliance with the BORG!
Sure, they'll tell you it's demons, but don't believe it for a minute!
I found the best remedy for this is to find a smurf doll and sit it on top of your monitor. Then proceed to drink toasts to it with a beer containing not less than 6.2% alcohol.
