how will this affect canadian exports to the us....

REBORNAGAIN

to my Canadian friends. It's only them truckers who are bad on the road. The majority come from India. If that's the reason? They always pull out into the passing lane right in front of a fast moving vehicle, go slow and try to pass up someone, by going 1km/h faster than, then cause a traffic jam in the passing lane and then decide they can't attempt the pass after all and pull back over. What's that all about? A lot of time these truckers will pass up other BC truckers and are driving side by side. Smiling at each other maybe?

Sorry, I know this got into another discussion.

I only know it's bringing more & more Canadians into Washington State for some fantastic shopping deals. It hasn't stopped the truckers from coming across the border. The truckers from up there are awful on the freeways. I don't know where they got their drivers license. I think from Wal-Mart.

Walls

walls.

i have found the quintessential line to describe a successful, longtime marriage.

i found it, of all places, in a jimmy buffet song.

REBORNAGAIN

Those lyrics are worth pondering over in regards to all relationships. Thanks!

Applying the lyrics to the WTBTS, looks like we got around them and/or climbed over them because we are still on His side....i.e. GOD's side and not humans. :-)

Your Past Comments on Teachers Here ...

by compound complex in

dear friends,.

i enjoyed rereading comments that you had made about your favorite [and most hated!

] school teachers.

REBORNAGAIN

Just recently I had a teacher at the college who was teaching things that were not true. I questioned my doctor about one of these claims that teacher made and she denied it totally. This annoyed me because this teacher's motive was to teach us to not be so gullible. I can appreciate that, but I think ALL teachers should teach the truth so that when someone comes along and makes a false claim we have our schooling to back us up to prove them wrong. I think his attitude is a fault in teaching ethics.

P.S. There ought to be a law!

The Watchtower has trained us well.....to be vocal apostate's!

by megsmomma in

jw
friends

i was thinking about how "against" the watchtower so many are.

we are outspoken about it and want people we love to get out too.

we are very vocal about it...more so than a-lot of people are when they leave a religion.

REBORNAGAIN

Who would know the real truth more than us? We've been there, done that and can speak from experience. If that alone isn't a witness.

I now know what is wrong with the Watchtower Society!!

by TooBad TooSad in

jw
friends

posters, readers, and lurkers of this site know that the watchtower society does not know.

the meaning of "soon", "near", "very soon", "very near", "just on the horizon", "just around the.

corner", etc.

REBORNAGAIN

Thanks for bringing that to our attention. The term, "Immediately" signifies once again, a time frame. They still don't get it in their heads that GOD has NOT given us any dates. Aren't we glad we are out of there? What took us all so long. GRRR!

What should I say to Mom to really help her?

by OnTheWayOut in

anyone who is following my threads knows that i post most everything about my .

wife's loyalty to the wts and the fade i am doing.

i don't post much about my mother.. if you did catch it, i told her several months ago that i had stepped aside as an elder.. she had asked if it was a personal problem, then was it a problem with the boe.. i told her that it was a problem with the organization itself.

REBORNAGAIN

I have learned to go with my inner feelings, regardless of the consequences. Otherwise you end up regretting it in the long run. Not doing what you feel is right, and doing ONLY what others dictate to you will only result in you continuing to have an inner fight, inner dissatisfaction and it will eat at you forever until you do what YOU feel is right. Listen to your instincts. I've learned they are RIGHT.

DID YOU MEET MEMBERS OF OTHER CULTS ON THE DOORS?

by badboy in

friends

if so,which ones?

REBORNAGAIN

It's been years ago, but only the Mormans came to my door. We had a security system in this apt. complex and on their end they said, "We are a couple of elders wanting to talk to you!" So assuming ELDERS from the JW, we let them in. *Duh* After that I concluded, if it were JW's they would have said "BROTHERS" and not Elders. *ugh*

Haven't had any since and that was way back in 1978.

A question of willpower, friendship, and kindness

whatever it is that makes us go on and want to do the many things we do daily has gone out of me.

i no longer have the power to endure through running and exercising my body.

i no longer wish to do anything fun.

REBORNAGAIN

You sound like me at times. Maybe it's a side-effect from being a JW, who limited our spare times in which we could have been pursuing friendships, and other entertainment. I'm a loner as well and at least I am capable of coping with it.
