I have fond memories of Bismark, ND. It was there that my three year old son and I were belly pushed away from a perfectly good, stocked, candy vending machine with a paper hand lettered "Out Of Order" sign Scotch taped across it, by two JW assembly security cops. God's organization my ass! Hahahaha

Welcome! I live near Sioux Falls, SD. We are 4 free and two in. Congratulations!

Hi Wild
The Rainbow Lifesavers vending machine incident was at my last district assembly. That was in 1975.

Glad you have enjoyed the Okies. So many of the JW's I grew up around were a little strange. One was a woman who was in her 50's, married and manic. Her husband was happy she was a JW and gone a lot. She was a non-stop talker and nothing made sense. She didn't drive and tended to wear out the JW's who would pick her up for meetings and service. She locked herself out of the house one day and walked all the way to the hall and asked some of us to help her get in. We took her back home and sure enough the door was locked. We rang the bell and her husband came to the door. Hahahaha She was an anointed too.

Well, I'm not from Bismark, but I did go the the District convention there one year. I think it was 1992. Not a bad spot for a DC.

hey wildfire, hello to you too! we lived in Bismarck from 1984 to 1994, baptized in 1990 got out of that just here in Aug. Gordy credits himself for bring us in, but it was Melody Schaaker who started with us. Know the Benish's and Wieses, Taggarts and have met the Krauses, the Bleekers came after we left, met them the last time we went to the convention up there in 2001. DA ourselves here in Aug. I'll e-mail you a card sometime. when we left in 94 they were just getting the land to have a new hall built. I don't think there's anything there yet but a wall. is it still that way?

garybuss, when we travel up to see my parents in Northern Minn. we go right through south dakota.

garybuss

imanaliento, we live just off I 90 near Sioux Falls. Please give us a call and see if we are here next time you pass through.

We like company. 605-334-5692
