2.8% INCREASE IN JAN 1 WATCHTOWER
by jimbob inperhaps this information has already been posted, so if it has i apologize.
but according to the jan 1st watchtower which was given to me, there was a 2.8% increase in publishers in the world over last year, with over 1.2 billion hours spent in service...(like those numbers aren't inflated.... when i looked back at the 92 watchtower, the number of partakers was only 8850...a mere 90 people more.

Could we have an online business?
by Valis ini brought up this topic and so have othwers, but i was reminded by a little bird today that maybe i should bring it up again... lets imagine for a moment we had a consortium where we all did handmade arts/crafts or goods, sold specialty merchandise, performed services like web page construction, website hosting, non-internet types of service business, (no janitorial services please!

Did U hurt someone because of JW rules?
by LyinEyes ini know we all make mistakes but did you ever really hurt someone while you were a jw, because of sticking to their darn rules?
did you ever, even as it was happening, feel selfrighteous?.
it is something that i have been thru over and over in my head and i have forgiven myself for it, but i can never make it right with the person i hurt.. my dad was an elder , very self righteous, he taught me well, i did what ever he said and acted the way he told me too.

feel free to wine/ complain here
by refiners fire ini wish to register a strenuous complaint.
bought a bottle of my favourite wine last night, removed the aluminium cover off the neck and saw that it didnt have a cork, but it had a plastic pseudo thing inserted in the neck cunningly disguised so as to have the "appearance" of a cork.
so i wound the cork screw in.
