  Snowman at assembly hall

  by road to nowhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few years ago i built a 6 inch snowman on a picnic table at the assembly hall.

  just whimsy during lunch, no one was out in the cold.

  i thought maybe some kids would get a little enjoyment.

  since blondie is not here anymore to do this, i will volunteer to coordinate this for this year.. if you would like a card sent to you or send a card, pm me your mailing address and a name the post office will deliver to.. i was thinking that the cut off date should be december 10 (or the 15th at the latest).. do you want it pm'd or e-mailed?

  (if emailed send your email address instead of, or in addition to, your snail mail).. i know that cards going overseas can take longer.. i will start sending out the list on the 10th to everyone via pm..

  There maybe about half a dozen (6) friends here that I exchanged cards with in the past that I don`t have a postal address that I can send a card to this year ,which I would like to do .

  If you would like to receive a card from me just pm me your address and it will be done.

  So far I only have eight (8) to send .

  Anybody is welcome to receive one if they send me their mailing details.

  Cheers, smiddy3

  After all it is the season to be jolly .

  Sheesh Gary, it shows by your photos, just how popular you are ,i`m envious.

  What about the Orthodox Jew praying at the wailing wall ,when asked about how his prayers were going according to what he prayed for .?

  He answered : I`ts just like talking to a brick wall.

  Hi Gary ,i looked back at Xmas card exchanges i did a couple of years ago ? and have found 8 that I am going to send out tomorrow ,2 cards envelopes I have but with no user name or address to send to ,one was from Berlin ?and I don`t know who sent it. Another envelope was from Milwaukee who I have no idea who it was from.

  If anybody wants to send one to me that hasn`t recieved one from me in the past your welcome to do so .

  Just remember to also put your address details down and how I can recognise you from this forum .

  Your on my mailing list Gary .

  I have a photo of two lovey guys on a card that might have been from the Berlin envelope but no user names and no address to send back. Both had beards and could be Spanish / Italian ,I have their names and if it was you pm me.

  Funniest insults

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. humour

  so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

  literal meaning: bury yourself.

  "go and bury yourself".

  Dago ,Wop , black bastard ,(cringe) were targeted for the Greeks or lebanese , whereas Dago and wop for the Italians that migrated to Australia ,at least where I lived in Melbourne .

  Asians were slope eyes or slit eyes.

  I was an ignorant street kid then ,my apologies .

  An Elder who I sometimes worked with in FS would say as he left a householder "I hope all his chickens die off "

  or some such thing.

  Demons. Afraid or not?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a jobot i had the fear of demons rammed down my throat.. now i am without any faith, i don't have that fear because it seems irrational.

  a fairy tale from the minds of some weirdo.. now i don't have to worry about buying stuff 2nd hand.. it always amused me how some jobots would pooh pooh charity (goodwill to my american cousins), shops or 2nd hand shops in case demons inhabited a jumper or a chest of drawers.

  yet at the same time they'd buy a 2nd hand car.

  God ,Angels ,Satan, Demons ,Superstitions ,all relate to how much and how deep you believe in them and it affects how your brain operates and plays tricks on you.

  Consumption of Blood

  i am new to this and recently converted, so please forgive my ignorance.. i am trying not to sin and don't understand something.

  it says in leviticus that you cannot consume blood, so no blood transfusions.

  i understand this.

  Welcome to this site MikeJH please tell us a little about yourself ? Why did you convert to Jehovah`s Witnesses ?

  What appealed to you ?

  Are you open minded enough to examine the past history of Jehovah`s Witnesses ? and reason on why they keep changing their interpretations of scripture, when what they have claimed doesn`t come to pass ?

  Don`t be afraid to examine your new found beliefs .

  Take care .
