A desk clerk, Eduardo, eagerly tells me their secret. "It's not what we do," he whispered. "It's who we do it for!" I move on.

i did very occasionally, notably for formula 1 and wimbledon finals..

lepermessiah

I did several times!

World Series, NBA and Stanley Cup Finals, etc.....

Two years ago i promised my wife to go to the district assembly on Sunday - of course it was the final for EURO 2008 that day. I was so MAD the whole day......LOL

Why is it called "Full time service"?

by no lies please in

i've often wondered this during the twenty something years that i pioneered.

but it doesn't add up, literally.

seventy hours a month is only about 17.5 hours a week.

lepermessiah

Its all about the statistics, the titles, and the accolades.....IMO..........

I am learning more and more to throw logic out the window when reflecting on why things are the way they are in JW land!

do you think its morally wrong to have a desire to see the end of the jw organization?.

it is the congregation's co visit this week.

it is first one since i stepped down and i have not attended any of the programme.

i just received a phone call from a sister, i answered thinking it was someone else.

lepermessiah

I love how you are thinking exactly what I would like to say Cantleave!

Its scary when people you dont like start calling to "see how you are doing" when you know they are just fishing and being nosy.

"Sorry Sister Pain-In-The-Arse, I am having an eye problem and cant attend"

As in I cant see myself getting involved in that Bull S--t again!

i received this in my fb messages today.. "what a sad,sad individual you are.

and all your apostate pals.

you really do need to open your eyes and see whats happening in the world.

lepermessiah

you probably had 1 bad experience with a brother and decided to leave the truth

Forgot to mention I always LOVE this one - the JW always blasts the person who got "stumbled" not the one who did the "stumbling"......HMMMM, which one did Jesus take issue with?
