  JW Topics w/ Mom and Her Husband

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. friends

  watchtower insisted that members be "approved" by their rbc before going to the disaster area.

  she told me how she went with her husband on that bus and a few other wives of other rbc workers went also.

  she told me how their two children went with them on that bus.

  OnTheWayOut didn't the WT ask for the homeowners insurance money they would receive? So they got money from the friends and money from the victims insurance companies. I am not totally sure this happen but I heard it did. Good come back to your mom's house and. Still Totally ADD

  What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  battery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.

  while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.

  hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

  I know this is a little off subject but the other day I was at home depot looking for a new weedeater I ended up buying a 56 volt battery run weedeater. It's quiet, lightweight, no gas or oil. The price was a little lower than the gas ones. I live on one acre and it works great on one charge. When I was there they now have a full size battery operated rider mower. They claim it will mow 2 acre's on one charge. They want $2,500 for it. I could see in 10 years all lawn equipment will be battery run. It looks like to me the day of going to the gas station will be a thing of the past. Still Totally ADD

  What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

  this is obviously a question for the older generation.

  i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

  was the society as strict as it is today?.

  I grew up with a father who was a fanatical is. By six years old I was selling maz. door to door by myself. I had guns pointed at me and dogs order to attack me. People in our area of IL hated jw. My first 4years of school I was always made a example of by the teachers for not saluting the flag. When hoildays came around I usually had to face sitting in a corner in the library as punishment for refusing to celebrate the holiday. I was made fun of for my parents belief's in front of the whole class. If that was not bad enough the PO of our congregation try to kill me for catching him raping my childhood friend. Then the Vietnam war was going great guns all my parents talk about that when I graduate from high school I would no doubt go to prison for not going to war. Finally the big A was coming and if you don't measure up to what God wanted you would die a horrible death. Of course being a teenager at the time most of my thoughts was on my hormones not selling maz. and I knew for sure I was dead meat. The congregations I was with where mostly made up of very old people. Ones who personally knew Russell and Rutherford. They always look on the young ones with a critical eye. No I never felt proud to be a jw. Mostly felt abused by the whole experience. Still Totally ADD

  You are all probably right. But the times I walked through them they seemed dimly lit to me. I felt like a mole. Must remember I am a county boy. Even though I like visiting NY city from time to time it is still creepy to me. I am used to open land and fresh air. Love your weeds and happy gardening. Still Totally ADD

  Good evening Snowbird. It was 75 degrees today here in western NY. The leaves are coming out in all the trees, apple and pear trees blooming. Sunny, Sunny, sunny day. I got to work on putting up my small greenhouse today. Great day to be alive free of cult obligation. Hope you had a great day. Love your weeds and happy gardening. Still Totally ADD

  There is no money to be made with individual ownership of solar. Just take stock you are doing something good for yourself and the environment. This country does suck when it comes to anything that is not attach to big oil, pharmaceutical and insurance corporations. Greed is the number one thing with the US and be damn about science and the environment. Ignorance seems to be what makes our country go around. Sorry for the rant but that is how I feel some days.

  greetings, my aging friends:.

  it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.

  sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.

  You are welcome Xanthippe. I have been reading a excellent book by Michael Pollan called "In Defense Of Food". I found to be a eye opener for me. My wife who is a herbalist found this book very useful. The one point I like in his book was ( eat only food your great, great grandmother can recognize). Love your weeds. Still Totally ADD

  Xanthippe you might know this. Omega 6 which is found in great quantities in most of all are process foods and even commercially raised meat and fish causes obesity and inflammation. It is omega 3 we need more than omega 6. Both needed but omega 3 is the good one. Still Totally ADD

  I have always worked hard. I was in masonry construction since 1972. In the late 90's I got into house remoulding. It was easier work and I really enjoyed it. For the last few years I have been working as a wheelchair escort for the local bus service. March first this year I slipped and fell and hurt my back. I am now looking at back surgery. I will soon be 63 this June and I can tell you hard work won't kill you but it can really hurt you. LOL. Still Totally ADD
