Good luck. I won 50k with a free ticket from McD when I was still in and a MS. I did some research in the publications to get "Jéhovah's" view on the matter. The oldest articles stated that it was left to your conscience to accept or not since technically you hadn't wagered any money to acquire the ticket. The most recent article reversed "Jehovah's" view by saying the money was raised through a disaproved activity and accepting the prize money would be like accepting diamonds as a gift knowing they were stolen. I seriously considered not claiming the prize not to lose my service privilèges. This got me thinking ot the situation where it is OK to accept blood fractions acquired through blood donation...an activity disaproved by God...

One year after I found TTATT and left the cult and I occasionally buy tickets...you never know what may happen.

it contained a birthday card in the shape of a motorcycle leather jacket and a book on rides you can take using the back roads in my part of the world!

my eyes filled with tears as i was reading the card.

Great idea NSupply. She wants a new tablet...so it will be a Samsung Note 10.1 for Christmas!

Thanks Jake...I'm am few years older than you and I no feel the need for speed...of course you have little control on how others drive...this is why I love the back roads.

Walk into your Kingdom Hall and tell us what you saw !

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

this was me driving into the parking lot and into the kingdom hall:.

every week the same brothers and sisters are late getting to the meeting.

elders are talking with other elders ( who always have notes and folders in their hands).

Island Man...in our congregation we had a kissing-hugging elder that never called or visited after I stopped attending meetings. As you said it was all a plastic display of affection.

Losingit...does it matter how your spouse looks like, is much older or in poor health today when you believe that soon in the new system he or she will be perfect in every way? Then soon turn into decades of putting up with a mismatched spouse...that would be worst than remaining single.

SFPW if you want to see hater's comments read over the WT study on apostates or review your personal notes from last summer's DC.

anybody have any plans to chase black cats under ladders while breaking mirrors and spilling salt?.

Every Friday the 13th there is a massive motorcycle gathering about one hour away from home. Tens of thousands ride to Port Dover. Today it is minus 8 and the roads are greasy so I doubt anyone braved the un-luckiest day of the year although in past years we had milder weather in January or February and riders made the trip...

I received a parcel at work from my daughter and her boyfriend. It contained a birthday card in the shape of a motorcycle leather jacket and a book on rides you can take using the back roads in my part of the world! My eyes filled with tears as I was reading the card. My daughter wrote that I mean everything to her and that I'm her role model. Her boyfriend thanked me for accepting him in our family despite of not being in the same faith. Today I realized that I have been deprived my whole life of the joy of reveiving testimonials of love and friendship from family and friends simply because a few old men in New York decided that it was wrong! Happy 59th birthday to me.
