for those of you who dont already know by now, the sheriff's deputy who told us to stop picketing last thursday works for the very same department that i do.
she works patrol, and i work corrections.
i remember when she used to work in the jail a few years ago, but im not sure if she recognized me.
To have a civil employee picketing a religious organization could be a black eye on the city/county/state, as these days civil employees are required to be squeeky clean in the public eye, and picketing is very public.
As long as your not in uniform or link your picketing with your job in any way, you should have every right to picket all you want.
you are fading, and dont want your friends / family from out of town to know that you no longer want to be a jw.
they may know that you are not going to all the meetings, or not.
but since the biggest deal to them has been the memorial, they expect that you went.. we did not go.
Just tell them "It was the same thing as every year." That way your not realy saying you went or not and your not lying to anyone.

so many jehovah's witnesses were never allowed to become skilled in any profession because the end was so near.
Honor, Courage and Commitment!
i was sitting in the garden having a beer with my dad this afternoon, it was a beautiful warm spring day, and we chatted away .......it's a good thing, my dad and me haven't always got on.
i think he thinks i'm not the son he held a 3 day party for when i was born, at least i didn't turn out like he'd hoped.
you see he's a mans man.
The guy has been liquidated. He was posting under multible accounts and causing all sorts of mayhem.
i am sure there is a thread out there somewhere about everyones fav movie........there are so many good ones.. today for the first time i saw the birds by alfred hitchcock.
yikes!!!.
and now the quiet man is on with john wayne.
Pretty Woman
I knew this one would come up. How could any woman have this one on thier list of favs? I mean it is about a street hooker. Would you want your daughter to have this fantasy of being a hooker then finding prince charming? I never could figuer out why women love this movie.
Heatmiser of the "clueless" class
i finally started reading ray franz book and was reading the part how he ends up with little to no money, buying a trailer in ms. i thought about my own mother, who sacrificed a lot in the name of the "truth" meaning she only worked part time jobs so that she could pioneer, she didn't accumulate money or buy herself a nice house, she continued to believe and still does that armeggedon is around the corner.. some of these people have literally sacrificed their whole lives.
at this point they may or may not come to the realization that armeggedon isn't coming.
whether they are still waiting for it or not, many of them have gotten old and they may not have paid a lot into social security, they may have a very limited income, may live in trailers or whatever.
Mr. Booth, quit hijacking everybody elses threads for your spam. You started a thread on this topic. KEEP IT IN THERE!!!!
did you just hate going door to door or were you one of the few that loved the work?
Hey, is that from the "In Living Color" skit about the gay men movie critics? Aaah I loved watching that show.
Yes. When I was typing "Hated it" the skit popped into my head.
did you just hate going door to door or were you one of the few that loved the work?
Hated it..........around the world and back snap.
jw's just came to my door and i blew an opportunity.. man, i wish they didn't have the kid giving the presentation though.
i wouldn't have had a problem discussing stuff with them.
what would you guys have done?
I have been thinking about it and I don't think I will confront any JW's that come to MY door. I have been off of the WTBTS radar since 1992 and I don't want them coming around my place knowing I used to be part of the bOrg. But I won't waste a second if I run into one away from my house. I just don't have the heart to start any confrontations in front of kids, that's just not my style.
Fairchild, I changed my avatar back to the Heatmiser. The pic of Syndrom that I had on just wasn't "doing it" for me and I was going to change it back. You helped me to change it sooner.
i'll be off the board for awhile.
i know i will be missed; therefore no need to mention anything.i'm moving to south dakota (the froozen bad lands of the real western gendre.
leaving las vegas, nv.
Have a safe trip reckless. We will miss you while you are moving.
