When I was pioneering in Winnipeg, I was invited into a guys house. The house was small, and the guy evidently only ate TV dinners, and there was a huge pile of the aluminum divided plates that stood at least 3 feet high, and many of them still had some food left in them. There were flies buzzing everywhere, and he also had 3 dogs, and he apparently never let them out to go poo, because there was a pile of hundreds of doggie poohs neatly piled in the corner. Everything was filthy. The smell was so rancid and putrid. It was hard to breathe. You could see into the bedroom, and the bed had what used to be white sheets, but hadn't been washed in lord knows how long, and were now a dark greyish, brownish, greenish black color, and loaded with dog hair and urine. Piles of newspapers were everywhere, and mayo jars and food were just sitting out, flies sitting on the stuff. The guy was desperate for company, so I stayed as long as I could. I left him the literature for free, I wish that I could have afforded to give him money or something, I felt bad for him. After I got home, I told a Sister about it, and she told me I should call the city on him. I wouldn't do that, as I would not know what they would have done to him. I did go back about a month or so later, and he was gone, and the place was empty and boarded up. I hope he ended up getting some type of help, and I hope that he didn't get separated from his Dogs. They were probably the only things that he really had.

Thank you all for your comments and emotional support. I thought that this was a local problem here, I had no idea that it was such a widespread thing. It is scary that no matter where you are, city or rural area, it is such a major problem. Maybe something will get done about it, before it ruins many more lives.
I have been up all night scouring the classifieds in the different areas around here, along with the suburbs, and hopefully soon will find a decent area. I know that I need to be more diligent in checking out the area thouroughly, so as to avoid the same issue.
My heart truly goes out to those who have been affected directly or indirectly with the problems that this drug causes. From what I have seen and read, the effects seem to be a lot worse than crack. I see first hand what it does to people. There was a guy that lived 4 doors down from us who was a very heavy user, and everyone literally saw him waste away so bad that that it actually ate away his flesh, killed his immune system, and was taken to hospice last week to die. They said he was too far gone to survive, yet people here still continue to buy and use this drug, even when they see what the outcome is.
Thank you all again, I hope I can be a listening ear and a shoulder for Y'all one day.

Looks like time is getting close to have flyers printed up, ready to be handed out to theatre patrons with websites showing the Truth about the "Truth", such as Silentlambs, The new Quotes sites, among others. I can't believe that they are getting away with presenting one side of the issue, trying to make JW's appear in a wonderfully positive light. Unless of course, they are advertising the movie as FICTION???

Yes, I have seen the paranoia from some of these people. They walk around saying they are afraid to go back into their own apartments, because they are afraid that the people that are in their own apartments doing drugs with them will kill them. It's crazy. Then again, it is making me paranoid seeing the way they act on the drugs.
We have also talked to the manager about moving out, and she says she will let us out of our lease, but we would not get any of our deposits back or anything. She acts very strange herself, she constantly shakes, but maybe that is a medical condition. Several times when the police have come out here, she leaves the property. I don't think she wants anything to do with what goes on here.
Its so sad, because you see some of these people, and you hear about how they once had wonderful jobs, but they have nothing left, and they don't even have money to eat, they begin to get real skinny, and get sores on their bodies, so we started buying some of them food, but they trade the food for drugs. One guy came to us for help in getting him to an intake appointment for rehab. We dropped him off there, and I gave him $10 to take a cab back from his appt. when he got out, yet he used it to buy drugs.

I moved to Dallas a few months ago, and started hearing about a drug that I hadn't heard of before. It is called "Ice". Evidently, it is a methamphetamine, and extremely addictive. I have been hearing a lot about it on the news, and doing my own research on the net, it is evidently more addictive that Heroin and Crack. It is causing an increase in crime, as people will do ANYTHING to get the money to buy more to support the habit.
I am living in an apartment complex, and there are 2 drug dealers here that sell the stuff. There is foot and car traffic all night long, and a lot of the people that come in to the complex act really freaky. I am at the point that I am afraid to even let my dog out to go potty, because so often when I go outside, almost inevitably there will be someone, or a group of people coming into the complex to buy from the dealers. The dealers themselves are really weird, they come outside in their underwear, eyes as big as saucers, and act as if they are floating. There have been at least 3 instances of gunshots fired either on the property, or on the sidewalk and street in front of the property. The police have been out here with AK 47's, because of a dealer who didn't live here waving a gun outside. I have received calls from a neighbor friend who is so scared she calls crying when these things happen. We have called the police on several occasions, yet most of the time they never even show up, and if they do, it takes anywhere from 1-3 hours to arrive.
7 vehicles have been broken into here since my S.O. and I moved in here in Sept., including both of our vehicles, windows smashed and all, and have stolen our car stereos, and other things that were in our vehicles, and have also had stuff stolen off our 2nd floor balcony.
We, along with others in our complex have tried telling the apartment manager, but she already knows about the problems. The 2 drug dealers have been living here rent free for several months, yet she will not get rid of them. She tells everyone to just look the other way and ignore it. One night, I was going to let my dog out, and there was a guy crouched, shooting up with a syringe not even 8 feet from our front door, it freaked the sh*t out of me, and told the manager the next day, and she used the excuse, "don't worry about it CJ, maybe the guy had diabetes". These are her typical responses.
I have called crime watch here in Dallas for our neighborhood. They refer me to the DEA. The DEA says that they only will deal with problems such as someone bringing in 20-30 pounds of "Ice" in at a time, so they refer me to the Local police. I call the Local police, and they refer me back to the DEA. I finally found a police officer who said he is willing to help, as he went through his records, and admits that their is a big problem in our complex, but now at this point, I am so depressed and scared that I am afraid to get involved. I do not want to get shot and killed for ratting these people out, yet if I do not, peoples' vehicles will still continue to get broken into, and it is only a matter of time until someone gets hurt or worse from all of the drug traffic itself, and all of the guns on the property.
An easy response would be to just move. Not so easy as it took almost everything to move across country, and since being here having to come up with insurance deductibles of $500 each occurence to have windows replaced, busted dashboards, etc. I just want a peaceful living environment.
It is getting so bad that I have an appointment to get on antidepressants to try to deal with these issues, but I can't see them even working if I am still surrounded by stuff that is so scary as this is.
Does anyone know of any other Drug agencies or Law enforcement agencies that can help and yet still allow me to stay anonymous? I am so afraid that I would be made to testify against them, as it would make me more afraid that they would seek revenge. There is already someone I know that lives here in secrecy that has a "hit" out against him because he pissed some dealers off.
I am so sorry for sounding like I am complaining, but I have no one else to talk to.
Should I just ignore the situation, and hope for the best?
Thanks,
CJ

WTS: NO MORE BOUND VOLUMES AFTER THIS YEAR!
by Mary ini just found out today (from my sister) that crooklyn will not be making any more bound volumes of the watchtower or awake magazines after this year------instead, they're all going to be on audio tape only.
she does not have a computer so i generously
i think this could very well be yet another tactic of the gb trying to keep a lid on their "embarassing" quotes of yesterday.

Maybe they are doing that because audio recordings can't be used against them in a court of law...

I bet you wish you hadn't have shoveled and iced the walk so that you could have filmed them busting their butts on the pavement! Sorry that all of that happened to you, but sounds like you are handling it pretty well. I don't think at all that you sounded like an a**hole as panic attack said, actually you sounded very confident and kept your cool more than I would have done in the same situation.
