  ok sometimes i feel it's good to maybe not redress the balance, but at least can you say something positive that you gained from your jw experience.

  so thats what i want you to do, if you so feel inclined.

  can you say or mention something that had a positive effect on you when you were a witness?

  One of them is in Kuwait, the others, Iraq. I used one of those 2 dollar pieces of crap at the drugstore, mailed it to my family, and my dad scanned it to me via email. I can see it on my computer, can anyone else?

  did anyone else notice when they were a dub and they read the society's literature how many exclamation marks the writers used.

  it used to really get on my nerves.

  apart from being a punctuation faux pas to use that many !

  Finger in the chili

  by anasazi in

  2. friends

  it is a hoax.

  she was arrested for it.

  this fact that a woman made a complaint about finding a finger tip in her chili and thus it hurt wendy's business shows that two witnesses are necessary for any accusation to be validated.

  Just dropping in when I got some free time. Busy day today. Spent some time in town today. Kids were crazy. I had to yell at them a few times to get away from our humvee. 'Meesta, Meesta, Give me money!'----'NO!, Ishta!!!' (f@#* off)

  Other than that, not too bad. The bread they sell down at the bakeries are top notch. Good stuff. Lots of other stories to tell. I feel bad for these guys, most want the U. S. to stay. I hate to see what happens when we leave.

  Oh well, got to go,

  peace out

  YESTERDAY'S WT STUDY

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  oh lordy, at yesterday's botchtower study, paragraph 17 (i think) asked what we personally found "encouraging" about the 2004 stats that are listed by country in the wt.

  anyway, someone finally put up their hand and remarked about how wonderful it was to see that ethiopia had a 5% increase......ya, i guess if you're starving to death, who wouldn't want to hear that paradise is right around the corner.

  one bro put up his hand and actually mentioned the fact that there was 0% increase in virtually all the industrialized nations, but that we "shouldn't let that discourage us".

  Hello from Tikrit!!!

  Haven't seen the article, but I was talking to a gent from Eurithria (no not urethra)-a small part of ethiopia that seceded a few years ago, he was very familiar with Jehovah's Witnesses. It's not that they're simple people, it's that the people as a whole are fanatic about anything and everything. It's a dangerous mix when you take a fanatic and supply him with a mind -numbing, mind-controlling religion. (As long as their not packing heat, I suppose it's ok) He also said the government views any fanaticism as a threat, that's why you may hear about their persecution from time to time.(Believe it or not, Dubs are not special in this regard)They're just considered regular, run of the mill fanatics. Who knew?

  By the way, Tikrit isn't bad. Convoy from Kuwait was a BITCH though.

  Haven't seen any Brits around here...where they at Simon, Eman?

  I'm sure Mr. Layne was more than happy to provide information regarding his faith to the press. Anything to provide a "witness"
