  I loved the old "super patriot" types.

  Once in Alaska I took the door which was up on a porch that had no railing around it. It was probably 3 to 4 feet off the ground on average. Anyway, I knocked on the door and this big burly guy yanks the door open, takes one look, and comes barreling out on the porch, not saying a word. The closer he came, the bigger the ornery grin on my face became.

  Within a few seconds we were face to face, belly to belly. There couldn't have been 3 inches between our noses. I hadn't turned a hair, and he stopped, not quite sure as to what to do. My grin just got bigger, and I drawled, "Dawg my bodacious cats!!! I didn't realize I had THAT much of a magnetic personality!"

  He busted with laughter, and naturally, I joined in. Then we sat down on the edge of the porch and yakked for the next 45 minutes. LOL

  Mouthy,

  Thanks 77 -the only thing is I cant say sorry to those I did all that too. I am having a bad day today

  My daughter the JW- told my other daughter who is out but not DF -That she went on to www.google.com & found how I am persecuting the WT... I didnt even know it was on there . She said she typed in Grace Gough & got 3 pages of my venom....

  Well, so far I found a MP3 audio of your 1990 testimoney at Blue Mountain...

  http://www.jwinfoline.com/audio/grace_gough.m3u (this opens up the player)

  This is a said same audio, but downloadable http://www.jwinfoline.com/audio/grace_gough.mp3

  I got it all from this page where I had googled from..

  http://www.jwinfoline.com/Page/audio.htm

  She apparently found this..

  http://www.jwinfoline.com/Page/page_support_questions_2.htm

  Found this also..

  http://www.brci.org/Conferences/98TapeCat.html

  I think that's the first 3 she found...

  Anyway, you were nearly in the top of the search list which meant that others have been looking for your name which caused you to have a higher rating than others of the same name. Probably because of your JW past.

  If your daughter heard your 1990 audio Blue Mountain Testimoney and has become angry, that's a good sign because it's effecting her thinking. Who knows how this can have an effect on your daughter. At least it's making her think.

  Grace,

  I listened to the entire tape (the first link yizamn shows) . U were at a convetion and u gave your age as 63-so its been a few years. I especially enjoyed what u said about all those turning in false time slips and u felt u had to make up the time somehow. Serioulsy, JWS must have been crazy to lose u, but i have always known this, they often run their most sincere people off. Sincere people will tell them when they have doubts, or commit sins: others learn how to play the game, and keep things to themselfs. So many times the really sincere perosn will end up DF, but the person who has learned to play their game, well sometimes he can hang in longer.

  Btw i had a very good friend, she has been gone for a number of years now, but she was from england (don't ask where-been too long), and a war bride too.

  It happened to me twice. Once when I was out in a really rich neighbourhood. My friend and I were at the door together (I had a huge crush on him), and the next thing we know, everyone else was in the car and telling us to leave. The policemen escorted us out.

  The second time, I witnessed to the police officer. Wish I hadn't.

  One of the JWs in my former congregation is a policeman! He's definitely the only JW cop in the country, possibly the world.

  I would have to agree, possibly the world. Seems to me there is a prohibition against being a cop and being a JW. I was a kid when the rule came down, at a Sunday WT study, of course. "Live by the sword, die by the sword.... violence, deadly force, carrying weapons, working for an agent of this old system of things".

  I recall the rule was: "You've got six months to quit being a cop intirely, or at least get transferred to a desk job where you do *NOT* carry a gun."

  But of course, the WT never tells its members what to do, they decide on their own, using their own conscience. Yeah, that's it. Their own conscience...

  Yes, it used to happen a lot in our congregation. Seems like the car group I was in was always getting badgered for sitting in the street. Imagine, all of us ladies in dresses and pantyhose, what sort of bad things we were up to...
