I slept in my car and counted time while I was pioneering
by foolsparadise inme and another friend of mine would leave the field service group and go to a store parking lot and sleep counting our time.
good times.
we'd also go see rated r movies instead of going door to door, all the while counting time.

what makes me. A liitle reflection from today
by Aussie Oz inthis has not been a happy day, a stress free day for me as i am sure some of you know.. but it has given me pause to dig inside to see why i fight to be heard.
why i seemed to have played a part in such a mess with a moderator and other members.. going back a number of years in to the wt, one large event occured where i was not able to make my self understood by my accusers.
no matter how hard i tried to get my veiw accross, the harder it became to be understood.

Floral dresses on women and cheap suits and conservative 'do's on old men
by White Dove inthe jw's say that they recognized another jw they didn't know because there was just something about them, something special.. working at taco bell has allowed me to see just what that "special" is.. i was noticing their clothes and how people don't dress like that anymore.. few women wear floral ankle length dresses/skirts to work anymore.
they wear black slacks and blouses, mostly.
no old men at all wear cheap suits in public.

The Weather Today Is......................................
by finallysomepride inbrisbane, australia.
temp: 32c = 89.6f with very high humidity.. moving from an airconditioned room to the outside is like crashing into a solid wall, ok ok not as bad as that.. had to get changed 3 times due to the perspiration.. tonite 7:05pm electrical storms now arrived, powers gone out & i've only got a led torch & my laptop (only 4 hours left on battery) for entertainment.
so glad i cooked dinner early tonight as i normally cook abit later in the evening.. hows the weather at your place?.

SPAWN
by White Dove inwhat would you do if your 19 year old son announced to everyone on his fb list that he was engaged to be married, and this is the first you ever heard of it?.
how about if that same spawn told his fiance, who you've never met or talked to, that his whole family is dead and that you are not his real mother (or father)?
also, what if she told you through pms on fb one by one what he was claiming, and you explained each one in detail, and she didn't believe you?.
