Are You A Patriotic Person Since Leaving The Witnesses?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i'm into politics but i still don't consider myself patriotic..

skeeter1

Yes, and I love history for the first time. Real history. Love history books and documentaries. Before, I didn't put much stock in the world's history becuase it was going to end. Now, I am part of "the world" and want to know its history. Or, I'm just becoming an old fart. Old farts like history.

I like the song, "My Country Tis of Thee". Do you know that my middle schooler didn't know the song? They aren't teaching it in school! I was floored.

I love that we have a 'border problem'. Why is that? Becuase our government is able to set up a system to take care of its people and allow each person an opportunity to succeed. The greatness of a country is its ability to take care of the poor and children, and provide the means for upwards mobility. I wish we could export this to other countries, but their legal system is too corrupt. They want to come here. That, is a compliment. NOT a problem. Yes, I am proud of the United States and a proud citizen to live here.

So Happy to Learn About Homemade Weed Killer

by Iown Mylife in

three days ago we mixed up the recipe and sprayed the driveway cracks and several places where the weeds have been hard to get rid of.. today the weeds are dead just like when we've sprayed commercial weed killer.. mix one gallon white vinegar, 1 cup salt, 5 to 6 tablespoons of dawn dishwashing liquid.

note: don't spray if it's fixin' to rain, wait for dry weather so the stuff will stay on the weeds.

and don't spray where you want anything to grow ever!.

Tangent topic, we use alot of homemade recipes. Check the internet.

Floor cleaner (espeically on tile) 1 gallon hot water to 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide. No residue and kills germs and whitens grout (over time).

Countertop cleaner: Great germ killer. About 1/3 bottle of water, about 1/4 cup of vinegar, and about 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide is how we make it (check on internet for other). Hydrogen peroxide mixes with vinegar to form a weak acid that fights grease great and sanitizes.

Change in East Asia- NK leadership says, "Forget China."

by fulltimestudent in

in early june, i noted a report in newfocusintl ( a nk watcher news sheet, probably us or sk financed) that the central committee of the korean workers had issued an internal decree stating, abandon the chinese dream!

the statement was apparently isued revealed to higher ranking party cadres.

i knew there seemed to be internal debate in nk over china's encouragement to move to a market based economy and that were some signs in nk of that happening.

Special announcement about

by Pterist in

I think this would be a great idea for the Watchtower. Most JWs don't like goign to the meetings, but want to remain JWs because they beleive it will lead to eternal life. It will allow those who are still in the ability to make staying in easier. The hard core stuff/field study can be held before the 'going door to door' meetup.

VERY short day at the Arlington/Dallas International Convention-My Observations

by CaptainSchmideo in

jw
friends

okay, some good takeaway:.

i have never been to a convention quite like this before.

a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

skeeter1

Yeah Rebel. "See you in Paradise" is SUPER creepy. What's next for JWs? First thing I thought of when I read that was Jim Jones.

Sounds like Losch is a horny guy thinking every woman wants him!

Getting really for three days in hell

by cookiemaster in

hey guys, there's another thing i wanted to share with you.

i know this topic has been discussed over and over again, but it's just so fun to complain about it.

we're going to the district convention this weekend.

skeeter1

I wouldn't go to it, even if it was Disney. I don't do super hot. Can you get out of it by saying it's too hot for you to go/you're sick. Strep throat is a good one, you feel it coming on and don't want to infect anyone at the convention. Sick tummy, headache, wierd taste in your mouth, and sore throat are strep's main symptoms when it's coming on.
