  What does your online handle mean?

  by iiz2cool in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few of us use our real names as our handles, but most of us use something else, such as a nickname or a variation of our real name.

  iiz2cool - it was not my nickname (i really don't think i'm all that cool), but that of an old friend named mike prezelj.

  i won't go into how he got the name, but it happened when we were all very high, and you had to be there to understand.

  How Do You Handle Death?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for most witnesses, the ressurection hope keeps survivors going.

  i knew of some jw's that were in such denial that they would want to believe that "they're just sleeping but are still alive to jehovah.

  " others would bust themselves "in the work", while others would "mourn as the nations do".

  Wow, Mouthy--that was quite a post...I'm sorry you've had to live through that kind of pain...

  As for me, I have never had anyone close to me die. Since my parents became witnesses, they pretty much alienated us from our entire families. Both my grandmothers have died, and it had little effect on me...I simply wasn't that close to them. Sad, but true.

  My parents are getting older...although I think they have a long way to go. But I am terrified of either of them dying. I'm terrified of anyone close to me dying. I am quite certain it is going to shock the hell out of me, and I don't know how I'm going to handle it when it inevitably happens.

  was bored this afternoon and surfing the t.v.

  i turned on tlc and they had this show called "what not to wear".

  well i used to enjoy tlc but lately they have been putting these crappy "make over" shows.

  I'll tell you who watches them---THE BRITISH!

  That show was on BBC before it was on TLC. Same thing with "Changing Rooms", which became TLC's "Trading Spaces".

  Although, I have to admit...I kind of like Changing Rooms/Trading Spaces. It is amazing what they can do with a $1,000 budget!

  Buuuut...I agree with you--WNTW is pretty rude. I mean, it isn't like the person has sought the fashion advice...they are basically ambushed by these snooty broads who treat them like they are criminals just because they aren't in style. I've seen about 2 episodes, and never watched it again...

  When I was very young (6 years old), my parents had me up there for some demonstration. I think we were doing some 'ideal family bible study' or something.

  Well, you know, for a 6 year old kid, 9:00 pm is pretty late. I was tired! So, I put my chin on my hands and fell asleep on the platform!

  Now that I think of it--that was probably the most accurate rendition of a family bible study anyone ever gave...

  this is a local news item.

  i doubt the link will last more than a day.

  it appears the man had no connection to the jw's previously, he just considered them an "easy mark".

  How come nothing like that ever happend when I was a witness? Man, I went to THOUSANDS of meetings and would have been THRILLED for a little action!

  I laughed hard reading this, but I also think that guy was a big weenie. $15.00 is not a lot, but if it is that hard, be a man! Get a second job!

  Awful. This conflict is ridiculous. Religion sux.

  Religion is a red herring, my friend. This is all. about. power.

  (We have LOTS of Jewish and Muslim people in our community who work together on projects peacefully.)

  JWs and Persecution - Am I Missing Something?

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from p19 of the june 15, 2003 'tower: .

  not sure about what they're saying here - it's not like this "opposition" (presumably the unamused expression on the householder's face) can't be placed at these ladies' own feet - after all, they are the ones who are ganging up, two to one, on a householder's own doorstep at a time obviously inconvenient to her to give her a message she's obviously not receptive to.

  are the dubs really getting that sensitive in their old age?

  When you make an ass of yourself and people get ticked off at you for it, that's not persecution. It's just normal cause and effect

  *snort*

  Well said!
