I did not go to the one day Assembley!!!
by Singing Man inyes verginia, i did not go to the one day assembly today because of these reasons:
i sang with my friends at a night club till 1:am, and i slept till noon, and just had to set in my sweats and eat hot cakes with sausage gravy along with a cup of coffee.
and because i find surfing the web much more educational and entertaining than setting on hard seats hearing some cone head asking me "what sort of persons ought you to be blah blah" and waiting in lines to go pee and do #2, and i find it much more fun to plop down in front of my tv and watch cable springer eating potato chips and dip.

Why don't jw's have buses or vans?
by Dimples ini was just wondering why jw's don't have buses or vans to pick up those in need of rides to the kh.
mostly all of the churches have buses or vans that pick up ones in need of rides to their services.
jw's don't and it isn't like they can't afford it.

Oh Please! A WT bus not on your life. The WT organization is the abominable NO orgaization. NO association, NO parties, NO congregation picnics, NO ball games, NO congregation sponsored anything except Door-to-Door work. NO NO NO. Just stay home and read the WT publications. Ted Jaracz the head of the Bethel CIA (AKA Service Dept) actually accosted two sisters on the streets outside of Bethel and told them you are not supposed to visit Bethel wearing jeans. The were visiting some folks who lived in the area and told him so. If that had been my daughter he would have reallly had some trouble, I'd of had my nice Jewish barracuda attorney sue him and the WT for anything and everything. Just for the hell of it.
Of course there are some of us who do things for other people just because, and we also enjoy doing things and the stuffed shirts better stay out of our way or they are going to get stomped. I'm just waiting for the right opportunity.

What do you think of Hummers? (and spare me the obvious jokes)
by DanTheMan in.
imho, the very embodiment of everything stupid and excessive in american culture.
to extrapolate on winston churchill's famous comment about democracy, capitalism is the worst economic system there is - except for all the others.

Oh I know the people you mean. The so called rich bitches. A pock on all their houses. I know the town of which you speak and happen to know some of those cads from New Albany and their penis envy mentality. I really think Hummers are part of that. (No offense to the "normal" people who have them)
You must be doing fairly well if you live in an area of $380,000 homes. Maybe you live across from these $380,000 homes or maybe you have a littlle house or so those idiots you mention may think. Too bad for them. Enjoy what you have. Probably you'll have money in the bank long after these "new money" people file bankruptcy. Let them eat their hearts out.
It is sad to think that the so called well heeled are so often just that heels. The acedemians in their infinite wisdom all too often create these class inidcators. You know the ones I mean. Oh I went to William and Mary, I went to Yale, I went to Harvard, I went to Georgetwon, and so on and so on ad nauseum. My own academic record and my riches (some inherited somae earned) will make some of these people envious and I love to play the pauper and let them discover on their own that I can probably buy the mortgage on their house if I wanted too. It's such fun sometimes. BTW in the area in which we live, houses start at $500K and above.
We taught our children from an early age not to be rich brat snobs. And I think we did a pretty good job of it. Though I've spoiled all three of them in so many ways, they really are fine people, with real insight and justice and wisdom in their hearts. I'd have tanned their butts good, if when they were younger, I caught them being rich ass snobs.
So hold you head up high and give those jerks in the Hummers the finger as they drive by. And have a nice laugh at their expense. You're worth a lot more than they are, you have character.

I haven't researched this particular "treatment" and really am not inclined to spend my time doing so. I won't belittle you if this works for you. Just remember that there is always someone out there looking to relieve your pocket of it's money. Beware of anything that claims to be all things to all people.

I think too many people put too much emphasis on what things people have. Whether it be Hummers (yuck) or Beamers or little old yugos. Who cares.
Yes, rich people are different than you and I.
I don't know. I think I'm a pretty nice old coot. We're pretty well off, some would call us rich. When we retire (soon) we won't ever have to work again. But we're not jerks and understand that some people don''t have what we have or can't do some of the things we do now. That doesn't make them less than us, they just don't have $. If they're nice people who cares what they have.
Won't give away my profession since we're still around the dubs, just not active. But we never just had dub friends, rich poor whatever. We don't care.

The English Aversion To Root Beer.
by Englishman inwhen we were kids, our mothers would treat our cuts and grazes with an antiseptic cream called germoline.
it's still widely used today.. to mask the antiseptic smell, thereby making the product more acceptable to kids, the manufacturers would mix in sassafras to the finished product.
sassafras has a very distinctive smell.. root beer also contains sassafras, which duly imparts it's distinctive aroma to the drinker.. so, to your average brit anyway, drinking root beer is akin to swallowing antiseptic cream, because it smells just the same!.

So perhaps the solution for those across the pond is lees root and more beer. Perhaps a dark and tan. Yum!

Are you really who you think you are?
by Mindchild ini recently enjoyed reading another post on an ex-jw board about how our past experiences as witnesses have shaped our lives and made us who we are.
there is obvious truth to the effect that our past experiences do effect how we see our selves now, but i think many people who leave the borg are still enslaved to the idea that they are the same person they were then.
i disagree and think things are a little more complex than that.
