It may also be becuase there are not enough JW's in that town to justify building a new hall. They would never want to admit to that being the reason.

20I find this very hard to believe. What do you think?
by whyizit inmy friend is an up and coming jw recruit.
not baptized, but high-stepping in that direction.. any way... she lives a small rural town and she has to go to a neighboring town to a kh.
she recently asked her jw guru if there would be a kh built in their own town any time soon.

The Scent of a Woman!!!!
by AK - Jeff inyour intentions are good - entirely manly.
you step into the shower intent on grabbing a skin-drying manly soap - dial or zest or similar.. then it catches your eye - that little 'womanly scented' bath-bar.
you try and reach past it - to get the large man-size bar on the soap tray - but inexplicably you pick up the lady's perfumey soap.

You will probably like it there. Western WA is a nightmare with too many people, too many appts and condo's along with traffic that is nothing short of a nightmare. The crime rate is not improving either. Thirty years ago western WA was a great place but since then we have been invaded with no sign of it ending.
You will be just a few hours from the ocean and even fewer from the mountains. Actual mountains with glaciers not what the southerners refer to as mountains.

You always hear about the "terrible two's" but three by far was the worst for my daughter also. All of the above advice usually works. My wife and I do not give our daughter anything with refined sugar in it. For that age group thier bodies turn it into rocket fuel within seconds. I have heard that theory shot down by so-called "experts" but you can not ignore anecdotal evidence. The rare time my daughter did get refined sugar she turned into a psychotic demon. So now it's reserved for special occasions which are fairly numerous since we are not raising her as a JW.

What do you think of this?
by mrsjones5 inmy son, joshua - the 3 year old, loves the us flag (he has a couple mini ones), any map of the united states (even the little weather map in the newspaper), the statue of liberty (likes to pose as such and is fixated on looking a picture of said statue) and is now starting to take an interest in the federal buildings in d.c.. we really don't know that to think about this other than keeping him supplied with maps, flags, and pictures of the statue of liberty.. what do you all think?.
josie.

I remember having a US map puzzle when I around five and I really liked it. Later on in school I always did great at geography and being able to name the states. Including those little New England ones that are not even big enough qualify as a county in most states.

My parents told me all of the horror stories of that assembly. My mom was pregnat with me at the time. On the eighth day the very last speaker went way over time and my parents had to drive home to seattle that night. They did it in 20 hours and my dad went straight to work after getting home.

These stories are all great but I seem to be enjoying the booger ones the best. I remeber several incidences in the 2nd school in the back with the metal folding chairs. They had an amazing ability to amplify child flatulence just like a single sided megaphone.
