post a pic of your ride.....
Startingover on the dirt bike! I never got a chance to ride db’s living around here which is a shame because looks like massive fun
snare, how bad did you lay it down?? Totaled? Did you walk away?
@never, that color is sweet! Love it!
Outtahere, whats the make? I cant tell from the pic. I see the cooler in the front but i cant tell anything else...
based on legal arguments that revolve around violations of several articles of the portuguese constitution, and of the law of religious freedom, a petition to the portuguese parliament has been set in motion to extinguish the legal entity that represents the jehovah's witness in portugal and remove this community from the national register of recognized religions protected by law.
the petition does not seek to ban the jehovah's witness as a whole in the country.
the petition denounces the institutional policy of shunning former members as a violation of basic human rights and psychological torture, and asks the portuguese legislators and judicial authorities to take action to stop this abuse, and suspend legal recognition to the branch office entity until the policies of shunning are changed.
1/4 of the goal of 1.000 has been reached.
Out of curiosity, then what?
i am sitting here watching my pioneering wife get service time ‘writing letters’ to not-at-homes.
she has a long list of names and addressees where the jws in field service never got anyone home.
the letter is simply a word for word copy, handwritten on note paper, then sent in the usmail.
And to continue the parallel the distinction (red headed league) was made arbitrarily based on a physical characteristic. Jws make an arbitrary distinction amongst themselves based on how much time one spends proselytizing. They even think they are different just because they are jw’s. When you step back and look it is indeed as ludicrous as a red headed league.

Crazyguy, totally agree ;) the cult frowned it (locally at least) but once i was an elder it just dawned on me that it nobody really cared and it was stupid to not do something i enjoyed. You gotta live. What did you get?
Neverjw, i would never look down on a shadow! My first bike was a shadow, a 1984 that i rehabbed in 2000. Rode it till it got too slow for me and i bet someone else is still ridding it.

looking for help.
.

Well new boy lets see...
”new boy” ;) was a big one
gleaning (puke)
g job
you know what... i cant do this. I dont want to think about it
a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.
Db, im hesitant to take this as a symptom of some larger problem without more details.
These decisions are never made by the branch, as much as people want to make them such. They are local first. This was co’s and the ldc. The question is why they decided to do this. Whats the alternative plan. Is there another assembly hall with avaliable capacity and some company men on the ldc or some up and comming co’s decided to try and shine by sending the money to the branch?
Theres more details needed to accurately assess the situation. If the org were in imminent danger a mere 5 mill dosent fix it. They have HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS from the sale of brooklyn property. Everyone relax and think for a minute.
hmmmm..... i dont see any william jefferson style quivocation there but I will repeat myself as many times as needed on every “the sky is falling” thread so that even the most uneducated can understand my position: the org is not collapsing. They are not in imminent financial danger. The 5 mill they stole from this circuit wouldnt save them even if they were in trouble. We can all carry on with our lives.

Totally agree db, i just think theres some details missing, especially regarding where they are meeting in the absence of the oromised assembly hall.
