what is the wbts policy on jury duty?
are they allowed to participate?.
i've been called to go on january 2nd, to be active throughout the entire month of january, but i can't afford to be off work for only $15 a day.
Well, I found out today that I'll still get paid if I go, but I'd much rather work than sit in a court room. Just pulling into the parking lot of a courthouse gives me the jitters.
Thanks for the advice though. I'm starting to think that it may be kind of interesting...have a couple weeks to decide.

If I claim to still be a JW, would I be able to get out of it due to freedom of religion?
I'm either going to try that or claim to have Tourette's during juror selection and scream out obscenities.
see it all the time...and children even talking about it!.
is there any evidence that can prove all religions are nothing more than other mens guesses into the intentions and plans of god?.
we cannot even discern each others intentions or thoughts...how can someone claim to know god's?
The problem I have with religion is the whole faith thing. That goes for any religion.
So, we're supposed to believe in this god because a bunch of ancient Jews said we should?
Hell, if you raise someone to believe that Mickey Mouse is a real god, they'll feel the holy mouse spirit running through their veins just like the followers of any other deity.
...instead of "swear to god!
all us kids in the hall did.
it really meant we were telling the truth.
I've sworn at him, but never to him.

termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage.
a 60-year-old man with acute pancreatitis developed persistent hiccups after insertion of a nasogastric tube.
I still use the trick I was taught in my 6th grade science class: a teaspoon full of sugar washed down with a glass of water.
Works every time.
i'm curious as to what drives some people to post at certain boards.. for me, i first came here over a year ago thinking this was a pro-jw site, ready to jump on the dubs.
lol.
little did i know.... i posted here exclusively for a while, but then found that the repetitive topics became tedious.

I posted here exclusively for a while, but then found that the repetitive topics became tedious. Nothing but WT this and WT that. It IS staying on topic, but I can't see reading the same thing day after day for years on end. It didn't seem to help me move on, but continually brought up feelings that had been previously dealt with. Much was learned to be sure, but my god. It became too much. I think the 'friends' section should pertain to just that, details about friends on the board and how their lives are now, not contain more JW talk.
What is your main motivation for posting here? To help others? To deal with personal conflict?
who go door to door asking for donations when they place their literature?
The mormons don't have to ask for donations. They have television commercials for that.
this will probably apply to few here, but to me it'll always be that way.
it's the what if syndrome maybe, but it's always there.
i still think that as a core belief system the jw's have it right, even if their delivery isn't always right.
Who cares if it's true or not? If you want to live a miserable life under a cult that's allegedly being controlled by an EVIL, vengeful, mass-murdering, son-of-a-bitch god, go ahead.
Yep, it was Jehoover who supposedly killed innocent men, women, and children with his big, bad flood. It was he who smashed little kids with the walls of Jericho, burned them in Sodom and Gomorrah, and will let crows peck their eyes out in Armageddon. Are you so afraid of death that you'd follow that sick, hateful bastard for all eternity? The Bible is one huge contradiction after another. And where are the other 520 books of the Bible? That's right, MAN chose which books would be included, not any god. I believe in fact is was the Romans who picked and chose which books to include. The books that contradicted core Christian beliefs were cast aside (while others were left in for some reason). What a lovely group they were...
And yes, the JWs are a cult. If a religion forcefully controls every aspect of your personal life while telling you no to associate with the outside world, it is indeed a cult.
I don't care about his personal life; everyone in Hollywood is ****** up. He's just in the spotlight at the moment. It goes in cycles.
I'll probably wait for it to hit HBO myself.
i've heard this on a couple of different tv shows and thought at first that it was a slip of the lips.
but as much as i've been hearing it, it must be a new "cool-thing-to-say".
does anyone know who, how, when, or why this has become a popular thing to say?.
I say bull shite to your statement. (nothing personal to you though)Myself..........I never heard this being said until I came to JWD two years ago.
You call his statement bull shite just because you never heard it?
Mrsjones hit the nail on the head. It's been around for well over a decade but didn't become mainstream until the mid nineties with the movie Clueless. I actually thought people were saying "my bag" before that.
