  text messaging = dating. I kid you not!

  in a way im glad the wts has hinted that mobile phones are expensive, time wasting, immoral devices.

  anything to reduce the number of people shouting into plastic blocks on public transport gets my vote.

  however they go as far as to assume that young people who have one will use it to talk to members of the opposite sex!

  Armageddon dream

  by tinkerbell82 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i used to have horrible nightmares from the time i was maybe five until i was maybe thirteen that armageddon has come and i'm on jehovah's bad list.

  i had them at least three times a week initially, but gradually as i grew older they were less frequent and then they finally stopped altogether...or so i thought.

  last night i had one for the first time in at least seven or eight years and it was just as terrifying as it was when i was five.

  A question for the ladies?????

  by Maverick in

  2. relationships

  i have noticed that when the ladies post pictures of "hunks" these guys have no body hair.

  when i was a gymnast many of the guys would cut their hair real short and shave their chests and stomachs and oil them to get a better, more defined look.

  i always thought chest hair was "manly" so i never did it.

  A little hair isnt horrible, but less is better, in my opinion.

  i totally forgot about this untill just now, but when i was a kid i was obsessed with nazis (remember the purple triangle movie? i watched that at least a thousand times), but i was convinced they still existed and actively hunted jw's, and i had recurring dreams that the nazis broke into our house at night and chased us all trying to put us in concentration camps. talk about overactive imagination, huh?

  thanks to the policies of j-dud central a lot of people have less than satisfying jobs.

  i am one of the fortunate few who loves what he does.

  i work for the rich and famous and get to travel a lot.

  PIPH - i wanted to go to art school as well..still thinking about going back while i'm still young to study animation or illustration.

  right now my job is so boring, i'm an admin assistant for the fraud unit of an insurance company. lots of typing lots of sitting, definitely not my style. plus i'm about 20 years younger than everyone else in the building.

  Theocratic School Talks, they were the worst ! hated doing them, did you ?

  remember back to the days you were in the theocratic school and had to give talks, were they the worst or what, i remember they were suppose to run about 6-8 minutes, i had some short as 3. the talks were pointless, you would just throw some mumble jumble together and go up and talk, first the introduction (and don't forget your gestures), then read the weekly scripture and then the conclusion, all your words of wisdom.

  i would rank this second on the worst list next to field service (still # 1).. how about you, did you enjoy doing them ?

  did you even prepare for them ?

  oh i hated hated HATED giving talks!! i would nearly always throw up on talk day before meetings! my parents enlisted me in the TMS when i was four (a little ambitious, yeah?) and i CLEARLY remember my first experience as a householder. My mom says i was a big ham as a kid and VERY dramatic, and the sister giving the talk with me (i'll call her lisa, i can't remember her name really) kept cracking up at me when we were practicing. we practiced that thing for EVER. I cant remember exactly what the theme was, but in the beginning Lisa would ask me, 'Now, Brooke, do you know who Moses is?' and i was supposed to say, 'oh, yes, wasnt he the one who freed the slaves from egypt?' But i was all into it and trying to be a little actress so it came out more like 'oh YES, WASNT HE the ONE who FREED the SLAVES from EGYPT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?'. then the rest of the talk was something about how we today can really learn from Moses' example because blah blah blah, and then at the very end Lisa would say, '...and Moses - now, you remember Moses, don't you?' and i was just supposed to say yeah, and that was pretty much it.

  SADLY, on talk day we wereboth a little nervous, and right before we went on stage, Lisa told me 'OK, brooke, now dont make me laugh or we'll blow it.' But i didnt know what 'blow it' meant. That threw me off, and i kept thinkign about it, what could it possible be, i thought it certainly had to do with blowing up a balloon or a whale's blow hole but i couldnt fathom how either one would tie into our talk. Anyway, ti was all going very well, and then we got to the last part, lisa said, 'now, you remember Moses, dont you Brooke?' But i got confused, and i said my favorite line again, 'OH YES, WASNT HE the ONE who FREEEEEED the SLAVES from EGYPT??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

  DEAD silence for like ten seconds. The Lisa LOST it. she explodes out laughing! i was horrified - i leaned over to her (and the mic, apparently) and said 'Lisa, dont laugh, i think youre blowing it!!' at which EVERYONE erupts into laughter, and i apparently start cracking up and slapping my knee which just sets everyone off even more, and we had to be ESCORTED off stage. needless to say i didnt give another talk for quite some time after that

  is it back in vogue with the dubs?

  i took my wife to see bombay dreams at the theatre last weekend.

  (recommended) after the show and while wandering around leicester sq, i noticed a guy selling magazines.

  oh man, i always found street witnessing to be so excruciating. i always felt like such a schmuck trying to corner people that just wanted to be left alone.

  oh, slightly off-topic but the funding talk made me think of it - the other day i was in a used bookstore and i saw two greatest man books for sale ($1.50 each)
