    .....in Ohio started yesterday and isn't supposed to stop until tomorrow morning. When I see this kind of weather it makes me think of the absurd policy of the Borg that the sisters must always dress in a skirt for field service. Can you imagine having snow blowing up your skirt at 40 mph????

    The good news is that everything is shut down and I have had a little time today to poke around on JWD today and sort of catch up on what you guys have been discussing lately.

    One of the things that has caught my eye is the discussion about how the Borg is stressing the imminence of the GT and Armageddon.

    This is shaping up to be a deja vu nightmare for the poor average witnesses who have hitched their dreams to a fairy tale. I was in 9th grade in 1971 and I can still remember all of the hype about, "Stay alive in '75" and being discouraged from higher education because I would never grow old in this system. What a load of BS. I stayed in until 1997 (foolishly) mainly because I did have a reasonably happy marriage but the marriage and the religion were a package deal and it reached a point where I just had to be intellectually honest and bail from the whole thing.

    Fortunately, I am almost finished with a geology masters degree and a law degree at an age where I will still be able to make some meaningful contribution to society.

    I feel sorry, more than anything else, for all of the witnesses who have surrendered their minds to the manipulation of men who deem themselves powerful. It is the Borg's management that is truly deluded and corrupt.

    I really appreciate all of the thoughtful comments and observations on this site, even though I don't contribute very often.

    All the best everyone,

    my husband is out shoveling now. We have 11 inches and it's still snowing....but the sun is shining and it is so beautiful. We have a level 3 emergency. My daughter called, she going to risk it so she can bring the grandkiddy's over. She says she has to have a break.

    I took some pictures, I'll try to upload them tonight. I tried to video my husband shoveling snow, he said I wasn't being much help, so I came back inside.

    'sides, my hands were getting cold.

    Sorry guys, but . . .

    Yippee! I am glad we finally missed out on the snow dump. We are one state away, and usually get the greater snowfall of the two states (except by the lake). They predicted we were going to get hit hard too, but we only got a dusting here. However, I feel you pain.

    Alpaca, I am glad that you went back for your education after leaving the organization. I don't know about you, but the "college education" that I received from reading the Awake just didn't cut it.

    This sister used to come by to leave the mags with Andy. The first time she did, she told him he looked like Brendon Frazer. She was fortyish. She came for an entire year, even though he never invited her in to sit. And it was below zero out and she would climb the flights of stairs to the third floor to see him. Later she came by where we worked and she told me her husband was an unbeliever. I think she was smitten with his polite but magnetic charm. Otherwise, I doubt she would have continued calling for a year.

    Hey, we got over 40 inches of snow in FEB. It's about time it missed us, too. Snow stinks.

    Here in Southern Indiana, we ended up with 10-12 inches. Our first good snow of the year. With the wind, we ended up with some amazing snow drifts and shapes... So Beautiful.

    The public was told to stay home and off the roads. Only emergency food purchases were allowed at Wal-Mart, otherwise you were denied entrance. Never known them to do that.

    Yah, were getting a couple of feet of globle worming. Wait for jh to dig himself out, in a couple of days, and post some pictures. Not that they will look like anything except white stuff.

    The storm passed through here but we only got about 3 or 4 inches. It really hit southern Indiana though, not sure about nothern Indiana. The weather forecasters here are a bit bummed cuz every big storm that they predicted for central Indiana never came about this year, they have either hits north or south of us. The kids haven't had a snow day yet. Oh well.
