Unfortunately, I gave the correct time during my last year as a reg. Pioneer. I ended up being 6 hours short for the year, and the elders made such a big deal about it-seems the other 994 hours didn't mean anything, but those 6 hours, all heck broke loose!!!

More UFO Boldness
by metatron ini have not seen any attempted 'debunking' of this shocking incident - or the belgian triangle many years ago.. the recent incident involving the mexican air force showed publically how contrary explanations are failing, as various.
'experts' suggested ball lightning, weather balloons, and anything else they could think of.
much the same happened.

Yes, that is very interesting. It makes one wonder about how far we have advanced Technologically in the past 50 years or so. Could it be that we have been receiving outside help? Yes, mankind is brilliant-(For the most part), but some of the things that have been invented make one think," now how on earth could they have thought of that", maybe it wasn't we on earth that thought of it!!!

So, in other words, with all the above comments and definitions of Sociopath, should not the title of the thread be:

Methinks they are the biggest bunch of Megalomaniacal Sociopaths around!!!

A little of topic-Sorry, but the Social Security Death Records have been a great resource for me. Being disowned by my parents, and not having communication with them for years, all I have to do is type in my last name-Ronto-yes I know weird last name, but....Anyways, I was able to find out that my Father died several years ago, and have been able to find out that way those that have died in my family, since I get no calls from my family in the org. letting me know when someone has died. By the way-no Jehovah's in my family-Awww Shucks!!!

We usually didn't eat dinner before the meetings, as we would usually go out for pizza with others from the cong. after the meeting, which seemed to make the meetings go slower, and time would drag, because I couldn't wait to eat. I always had to prepare for the meetings, and would crank my Victrola, and listen to classical 78's while doing so.

No, but I do remember a brother Woody. Whenever he would get up on stage, he would stand very erect, and when he would get overly excited about something he was saying, he had a tendency to Spit. He was very hard on the Brothers and Sisters....
