  camping information.

  my wife and i are planning on taking a year off and taking a jeep and a camper through all the 48 contiguous states and alaska and some of canada.. living in florida, i have always had guns and a concealed carry permit.

  but researching for our upcoming retirement vacation, it seems to me that i might not be able to legally carry firearms on my upcoming expedition.. it seems every state has different laws and licenses.

  what does a camper from florida do when he goes to new york or california?

  I'm a gun enthusiast, hunter and recreational shooter yet I cannot grasp this need to carry a firearm with you.

  Have you ever seen the movie "deliverance" (insert banjo music)? I am a Canadian hunter and gun owner, I rarely go in the woods without a gun. I can legally carry a shotgun in the woods any time. If you plan on staying in provincial, federal, or reputable private campgrounds (KAO) I wouldn't bother with a gun. Get a two foot piece of hockey stick, and some bear spray. If you are boon docking, I would say get a shooting vest, some shooting glasses and pump or auto loading shotgun. Something that looks like a hunting or shooting gun, not some pistol grip zombie gun. Wood stock is less alarming. Call CBS and ask about doing shooting clays in Canada. I've seen some creepy looking characters in the woods, when they see my Maxus stalker, they get a bit figidy. Who's got the purdy mouth now?

  In reference to Esse quam videri's comment above. Having a gun in your camper in the woods, and carrying a gun in the woods are two different things. The only legal way to carry a gun in the woods in my province, is to be a licensed hunter and only have the gun and ammo for the game in season. Coyotes can be hunted 365 days a year here.

  I'm not sure about long guns, but you will be turned away at the Canadian border with a handgun.

  How do you manage to keep JW friendships after you left the organization?

  by Bonsai in

  it seems incredibly difficult.

  those who leave the org.

  (or fade) no longer have anything in common with jehovah's witnesses, nor do they want to stick around to get radiated by the fear and guilt that saturates every aspect of a witnesses' life.. i've lost all but one of my jw friends quite simply because i can no longer condone the evil things that they condone.

  I have one left and one maybe, all the others have dropped me like a dog turd. The one left barely goes to meetings, and I'm his only friend. The other I've known all his life, and we connected while he was out, have a hobby in common. I felt sorry for him being alone with no friends. We had him over quite a bit, fed him, treated him like a son. He has since gone back and remarried, I'm happy for him, but I expect he will also drop me. A real shitty doctrine that shunning! My wife feels sorry for me, but like a lot of men, I'm comfortable in my own skin. I feel sorry for women who leave, they seem to make more social connections. Oh well, we still have our child, grand children, we both come from large families and have siblings. I had a JW friend want to friend me on FB, my first thought was why? I'm guessing it has something to do with the RC.

  Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.

  by kneehighmiah in

  the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

  but i would say it's hard for brothers also.

  i was talking to a jw last night.

  The skewed numbers and mind control qualifications of a TM3 approved marriage mate makes JW dating a minefield. My wife often says the only good thing to come out of the Borg for her, was me. I feel the same way about her. We are both average looks people, not overweight, or sloppy about appearance. My love and appreciation for her qualities has only deepened over the years, my goal is to grow old with her. When I look back, it was just dumb luck on my part to find such a partner! A cautionary tale for those looking for beauty only. A fairly good looking JW man meets and weds a very beautiful JW girl. He was a 7, 8 on a good day. She was a stone cold fox, a 10 waking up with morning breath. All is well for a few years. Then not so much, she meets a non-JW guy, started doing the horizontal bop. They cooked up a plan to empty their respective bank accounts and run off to paradise. He backed out at the last minute and went back to his wife. She took her own life. Not to say beautiful woman can't be faithful, but with the constant propositions and knowledge she can have most men, most of the time. coupled with the normal ups and downs of a relationship? I prefer to sleep at night!

  I don't have a beard, for no particular reason. My usual response to the beard thing is usually: Not going beyond the thing written ! Cor. 4:6. Quote Lev. 19:27 and ask if that means I can now get a tattoo? Or my favorite, If Jesus was still around, he wouldn't have any privileges! More JW BS!

  my wife has a friend at her kh.

  she is 37 and her friend is 88. i know it sounds kind of strange but they are both the wives of ubm so they kind of stick together.

  my wife is very sincere in this friendship and this lady is a nice person.

  Millions of people get up every day and help others with no expectations what so ever. They are called volunteers, neighbors, citizens. Your frustration with the Borg comes through loud and clear. You already knew the answer before you asked the question! Was the thought wrong? I would say no. We all have thoughts we would never act on. Was vocalizing or in this case putting the thought down in writing wrong? No, we all seek feedback on occasion. Not wanting some unscrupulous person to manipulate this lady was a decent thought. The suggestion that you make a case to this lady for you and your wife's gain, is quite telling, and calls into question your genuine concern for this lady. It would be a 100% sleazy move!

  Locate the alpha dog elder, or any elder for that matter. Start in on him about his fancy car, wifes tight skirt, whatever. You will be stepped down so fast your head will spin. Added bonus, you just got stumbled!

  i've noticed increasing amounts of jw's are coming off fb and deactivating completely.

  all with the same reason which they post about at lenght which is that they wwant to focus more on their spiritual life and not have the distraction of fb.. have i missed something or is this just a coincidence?.

  Typical JW drama. Trying to out spiritual each other. Not a bad opportunity to get a dig in when they pop back up a week later.
