Advice...
by megs insooo... around 6 months ago (seems like a lifetime ago) i filled in the nice little form on the wtb website saying i was interested in a bible study... after this i went to a kingdom hall (cue ominous music) and ended up here.
anyway, they have now responded to my online enquiry of 6 months ago and have sent a note to my house saying they'll be there on thursday... how do i get out of this???
if i'm not home will they just go away??

The Number 7
by megs inowing to the abundant chatter about the "great tribulation" i started googling some things... anyway, there is a christian forum devoted to "end times chat", the current buzz is as follows:.
the dow today is down 777. the bail-out is 700 billion.

Placements and Ministry Hours vs. Conversions
by megs ini am so irritated.

by megs inthis really disturbed me... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1571360/fighting-the-curse-of-the-face-eating-tumour.html reading the article, it's hard to say whether it is his religious convictions as a jw that are impeding his seeking treatment or distrust in the medical establishment.
thoughts?
