  We tell our guys, on motorcycles, that when they are pulled over on a traffic stop to do 2 things....

  1. Put their hands up high in the air.
  2. Keep their mouths shut.

  We have guys doing civil disobedience all over the USA, mostly helmet violations, and we do not want to give the courts or police one grain of help in the court case to follow.

  No one HAS to speak to a policeman, ever. You may have to show some paperwork, but you never have to speak. They can try to arrest you to force you to speak, but they wont. If more people did this, maybe things would change.

  As for being a minority here, I think we may be. Too many people beleive the rhetoric spewed from the pacifists rather than thinking for themselves. That is basically why California is in the shape it is. The heavy votes come from the cities there... LA, San Fran, and others. The folks in the hills are generally more conservative, but are outnumbered by those "in the system" living in the cities.

  Personally, I feel it will take a major uprising to shake the pacifism in this country.... otherwise, we will become socialist like Europe.... and let the govt take care of every aspect of our lives.

  Not knowing what is beyond death, I have no reason to fear it. I would have more fear of how I get there, than anything. I always said I would want to go 120 MPH into a bridge abutment, on my bike, if I had the choice.

  I do think people should not take their life, or others, tho. Nothing should be that bad that you have to end a life.

  Dave,

  I spent most of my years from 1972 thru 1993 with absolute bitterness and hate for not only my mom and her husband, but for the JW's. This drove many of my actions, or reactions, to things in life. Most of those reactions ended up badly, for me and others.

  After a few drunken motorcycle wrecks, the courts decided it was time for a change. Little did I know that by changing my partying habits, I would also "short out" the wires from past teachings.

  The deal quoted above, about walking into holes in the sidewalk, was also taught to me early on in my meetings with a therapy lady about codependence. It showed me very clearly how things happen, and how I can control them... or not. How many times have we complained about having a hangover, or having over ate... as if it was someone elses fault? Everything we do is in our own control, like it or not. Anyone with the ability to turn on a computer, log into this site, and digest the contents also has the ability to take total control of their own actions, and thus their lives.

  So, the short answer to "How am I shorting them out" is by totally controling my actions and thoughts. Learn, adjust, and move on.

  I let my company worry about the bills .... but the place I am working in LA looks like its headed out too.....

  Many of the liberal teaching in California have ended up biting them in the ass... and businesses are smart to leave for better/cheaper/safer places to operate. Have you ever seen the movie "Escape from New York"? Part 2 will be real, and about LA.

  I guess one major difference between me and others is the fact that I dont care who is still a JW, family or not. Being the a**hole that I am, I can shun my shunners as good as anyone, without a second thought. I see it as thier choice, not mine.

  People today, not just here but everywhere, have become so used to hearing what they want to hear rather than hearing an honest opinion. When someone like me answers with an honest opinion, they will get offended most times. I cant control this, other than not answering. Generally, most learn not to ask me anything, which is cool.

  As for running up against the hardwired teachings, I have had 30 years to short out those wires....

  Keep on keepin on, Ona.

  I have been given grief here by some because of my attitude on life and the past. My ways are too "caustic", they say. Oh well, it works for me.

  To focus on the past while holding back from growth to the future is not only counter productive, but possibly dangerous. The pent up stress does effect your health.
