  For me, definitely schoolwork & tv! When I was doing the HSC I used to get home from the meeting at 9.30 pm & do more work!! Definitely no time for recreational activities! And I used to miss the last half of Seinfeld

  WT inflating their numbers?

  by Fatfreek in

  there have been posts here that indicate the kh building work may be slowing in the u.s., and that there is consolidation of the congos going on.

  if that is true why don't we see the society's published numbers on the decline?

  my next question is, heaven forbid, you don't suppose they're inflating the membership numbers do you?

  What did you want to be when you grew up?

  as a child, what did you want to be, when you became an adult?

  if you could, would you want to go back in time, and become what you wanted to be in the first place?.

  as a child, i wanted to be a florist.

  This is a great thread! I really wanted to be a journalist (foreign correspondent) when I was a teenager, but also wanted to pioneer, go to bethel, get married & have sex & babies I ended up aux pio'ing sometimes & working as a legal secretary part-time. Now I've just finished my honours year at uni doing history (which I love!) & hope to become a fully qualified historian one day!! Dreams can come true!

  I completely agree with everyone about witnessing hours (although I used to work my butt off for my 60 hours a month!!) but the numbers of Witnesses are viewed by sociologists as being fairly accurate, compared to census reports of people identifying themselves as Witnesses.

  This one helped me a lot when I first left. 'Waiting' by Green Day: I've been waiting a long time for this moment to come I'm destined for anything .... at all Downtown lights will be shining on me like a new diamond ring out under the midnight hour no one can touch me now and I can't turn my back It's too late ready or not at all I'm so much closer than I have ever known ... wake up Dawning of a new era calling ... don't let it catch you falling ready or not at all so close enough to taste it almost ... I can embrace this feeling ... on the tip of my tongue I'm so much closer than I have ever known ... wake up better thank your lucky stars ... I've been waiting a lifetime for this moment to come I'm destined for anything at all Dumbstruck colour me stupid good luck you're gonna need it where I'm going if I get there ... at all ... wake up better thank your lucky stars ...

  This is me at my uni awards night last year, with my father-in-law, hubby, & good friend Tristan.

  It really says that I don't have any up-to-date pictures on my computer. And I'm not scared to show you the real me! (Wish I looked like Lara Croft, though)

  Thanks guys! My sister-in-law agreed with the induction - through naivety, more than anything. They thought the baby might be big but he was only 8 pounds something. Not that big at all! She ended up getting him vacuumed out last night - he is beautiful & healthy, so that's all that matters now! She seemed good, too, in much better spirits than I was after my induction, so all's well that ends well, I guess!
