What came to mind was the horse and buggy days of the past and cutting vegetation by hand.

Another Medieval Silver Coin
by cofty ini got out detecting for an hour this evening.
the field just two minutes from my house has been harrowed but not seeded which makes it perfect for me.
hopefully it will stay that way until it is seeded in the spring.

My Take on the Convention
by xjwsrock in4300 in attendance - 17 baptized.
odd mix of congregations assigned, i'm sure to throw off any scent of a decline.. no distinction made whatsoever between loyalty to jehovah god and loyalty to the watchtower bible and tract society.
the convention is riddled with parts whipping up your love for the creator and jesus, with a quick reminder that the wbts are their gatekeepers.. parallels are implied constantly between israel and jehovah's witnesses.

Around 33 got dunked at our RC with about 4300+ in attendance. I thought this was rather high for our region.

Convention Weirdness
by BlackWolf inwell i just got back from 3 days in hell, and geez was this convention strange or what?
im sure someone's probably made a topic about this already but i can't believe that there weren't any new releases besides the movies.
has that ever happened before?

Wife and I attended the Saskatoon convention July 1-3. Its all gloom and doom talk. When the basement confinement video started, I said to my wife bunker videos which made her think about it. It seems the WT$ is focussing on human emotions with the loyalty (obey) card being played. On the way home my wife mentions that no announcement was made about next years convention. I thought that was odd that no comment was made. Maybe the big A coming.

I misunderstood your OP. Every time I visit Calgary I put up with high speed drivers that drive close to my rear bumper at 12 km over the speed limit and I am forced to speed up. Now if a police officer has a radar gun pointed at me I get a ticket for speeding and the driver behind me gets away with speeding. I want to drive the speed limit but I have to go with the flow. This gets on my nerves. I am from a small city and I find that the big city life is fast paced. I have not been ticketed yet but if I lived in a very large city I can see it being a problem. -

I was told by a family member that In Calgary, Alberta that the police are handing out traffic tickets for even minor charges like a burned out tail light and speeding on any road. Is this due to the drop in oil price or something else? -

My wife and I attended the morning session yesterday and one old man had to helped out of his chair by two brothers to reply to the two questions. This was one person out of 529 in attendance. Last weekend we attended the afternoon session and found out only one born in teen was dunked out of our circuit at over 529 in attendance. We did not watch the old man getting dunked. I hope he survived. lol Our region is southern Saskatchewan, Canada.

NEW BLOOD CARD w/ FORCED COMPLIANCE also LEGALISM
by apocalypse ini have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.

I tossed my card out back in 2010 and will not have one. If I am cornered and forced to sign a card, I will refuse. If the elders want to DF me and that will be okay.
