  The Question you have been waiting for.....!

  by Terry in

  somebody you think you know well enough to trust writes you a big check.. the check bounces.. they don't exactly apologize, but, give a plausible explanation.. they then write you another check on a different account.. since you believe them very trustworthy you accept it graciously.. .

  on the strength of their reputation and assurances you deposit the check in your own account.. from there you proceed to pay for various necessities, mortgage payment, insurance and childcare expenses.. the check bounces again!.

  your checks, consquently, also bounce!.

  5 graduate degrees that don't pay offby kathryn hawkins bankrate.com .

  123456>5 graduate degrees that don't pay offin today's tough job market, many recent college graduates are enrolling in graduate programs to enhance their credentials and gain an edge with hiring managers.

  in some cases, the tactic may lead to lucrative job opportunities.

  My advice to any young person getting out of high school is to go to a trade school and become a plumber. No matter how technichal the world gets, you still need a license to unclog a toilet. The bottom line on the main thing that a plumber tech needs to know is that crap flows down hill and the hot is on the left and cold on the right. And yes..you will get dirty.

  Ok.....now that I made a funny.....remember that it takes a lot of knowledge to be a plumber and I am not putting the trade down whatsoever. How many master degreed idiots know all the different fittings and pipe sizes and the building codes that a registered master plumber needs to know to even get a license for his/her business?

  I know several plumbers making 6 figures a year and they are happy.

  ive been lurking for quite sometime and now feel the need to come and noob it up.

  it's taken a lot to bring me to read anything critical of the wts.

  i used to glance at these apostate sites and shutter in fear because of the obvious demonic venom that can be found :) i am still an active witness and have been in this struggle to stay both in and be removed mentally from this organization.

  Welcome and get ready to learn the truth about the truth.

  I'm 65 years old and spent over 30 years knocking on doors and trying to convince myself that this was God's organization. Wrong!

  I wish you the best.

  Flipper Jr. & Flipper Sr. Leave Child Abuse News Releases at Kingdom Halls

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  of course everyone knows about the news of the candace conti child abuse case which has gone viral , ( one would have to live in a cave, under a rock, or another planet not to know about it ).

  that being said - it may very well be that those jehovah's witnesses who do not use the internet, or read newspapers, or in simple english are neanderthal's, still living in the 19th century or before , out of fear of negative reprisal from wt authorities may have not even heard about this case because they are in the habit of not watching the news or using the internet.. so- with those particular type of people in mind my son flipper jr. & myself decided to print up about 20 copies of the candace conti child abuse lawsuit from the england daily mail issue , here's the link : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160605/candance-conti-molested-jehovahs-witnesses-member-age-nine-wins-28milion.html?ito=feeds-newsxml .. so what we did is since we are doing some out of town jobs in several counties we figured we'd leave these child abuse news releases under jw car windshields at kingdom halls while they are out in field service.

  we left about 15 so far at 3 different kingdom halls under car windshields .

  ..on my head.

  in some small way i think i understand one reason for shaving new recruits or prisoners.

  as i did it i felt sick in my stomach and it felt like i was losing some of my personality.

  When I was young, my hair was so thick that the barber had to use thinning shears when I got a haircut. My biggest fear about 10-12 years ago was going bald when I started to thin dramatically. Today I love the bald look. There are too many bumps and scars to actually use a razor but I use a #1 on my clippers and like the look. (even though my head is odd shaped)

  Your term "Watchtower Cult" only degrades and sensationalizes. There is no way any publication put it that way. A newcomer looking at this board will be turned off by your choice of words.

  If you can't post facts as they really are.....then don't post at all.

  Getting old really stinks. When we hear about those who entertained us in the past.......passing away......it kind of hurts. It can happen to any of us any day.

  Ohhhhhhh geeeesh!

  Would you support "Open Carry" legislation in your state?

  by Glander in

  many states have such laws.

  it is being considered in many others.

  if legal, would you openly carry a firearm?.

  Open carry....NO! Concealed carry.....YES! All open carry will do is scare people. Concealed carry is for your own protection and that of others.

  HappyDad (who carries a concealed .380 S & W semi or my .38 special +P snub nose).

  P.S. Everyone who gets the carry permit should have to go through some type of training though!

  If you are going to take the responsibility of maybe having to lethaly defend yourself or others, then you need to know how to do it properly. Not just fire at random!
