I'm not picky, but my preference is any top-shelf cognac, bourbon, whiskey, or scotch - chilled and neat. I have a thing for Gentleman Jack, American Honey, and Crown Black. My motto is top-shelf is for drinking neat, lower shelves are for mixing.

What if I am a disfellowshipped public school teacher?
by bsand20 incould a parent put in a complaint to the school district and request that their child be transferred out of my classroom because i am exjw?
if they give me the jw school brochure (do they still do that?
sorry its been 16years since i've been out) can i just tell them i'm familiar with their teachings or should i just pretend i'm new to their teachings?....i'm a freshman in college so i have still a long ways before this situation is presented, however i"m trying to get prepared for it.

You should feel blessed pursuing a career as a DF'd public school teacher, because having lived the nightmare, you have special insight into the situation that any JW children you face may teach. You can use this insight to show special care and consideration to their needs. They still pass out the Education brochure. You can either accept it or not. When I was in school, I had plenty of teachers tell me that they already had a copy from a previous JW. This was not uncommon in my school. Just enjoy the fact that you are now free, and that you are privy to knowledge to which 99% of the other teachers won't have a clue. This knowledge will enable you to tailor your encouragement and support to these ones in a way that other teachers will not be able to.

I wish I was going there, but I'll be in New Orleans. It's the closest one to me. I told myself I have to stick around to see what happens at this year's DC. 100 years in the making....I'm sure they'll make asses out of themselves. Now if I can only sit through the propaganda. If I can't, Bourbon Street is not far away.

I remember back in my college days before I started dating my wife, I started to get close to a few worldy girls. We'd hang out between classes. When one started flirting with me pretty heavily, I tried moving things to the next level and she let me know that wasn't her intentions at all. Same thing - no boyfriend, dressed sexy, flirted, commented on my sexy looks. Fortunately, we stayed friends.
I chalked it up to Jehovah protecting me, but I know different now.

This is based on a weekend vacation, but west of Tampa is awesome. Two places come to mind: Clearwater and St. Petersburg. St. Peterburg has a special feel to it. You have to visit to experience it. I would suggest visiting the family for a few days and spend your time driving around the outlying areas. Tampa felt a little too busy for me. Its nice to drive into on the weekend for a visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Who are those young JW SKINHEADS ?
by aligot ripounsous inat the latest circuit assembly, i noticed that quite a few young male jws (or at least attending youths), say sixteen upward and mostly mixed race, are skin headed.
apart from that, they are quite well dressed.
that way, elders won't reprove them for their long hair ... looks like an obvious defying message to a rigid organization.

I know quite a few young men in my old congregation that had severe receding hairlines by the time they were 20. It appeared to run in the family. So it was less embarassing to just shave their head than sport a receded hairline before they could drink.

It's all here http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/united-nations-association.php under "Dubious Justification". I had forgotten about this letter. The whole article is a fun read.

Well, that sucks. I have the link to the official document in the UN Library and my own archives stored on my PC. It's odd that the document is still accessible via the link but not via the search function.
Phizzy, in my case, the U.N. wasn't responsive in verifying the document. I sent their DPI division an email asking for information or official documentation relating to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's previous NGO association and never received a reply in my inbox or junk mail. -

It's nice to be able to pull this from an official site instead of having to resort to JWFacts when showing this to active JWs.Any ideas? Are they only showing 10 years worth of documents?
