Welcome Jennie!!
My name is Craig and my wife (Tinkerbell) is Nat. We have two very sweet and very rotten dogs. Shocker and Little Bit. Shocker is 11 years old and Little Bit is 3. We do not have children so these puppies are what we call our furry four-legged kids. We welcome you and will always respect what you have to say.

We have a retired Police Officer who lives a few houses up from us. He stopped by to talk to us and he suggested a neighborhood watch. I told him I was all for it and would help in any way possible. We are planning to get something going soon.
It is a violation. Tink feels frightened, she is home alone most of the time. I have dead bolts on all doors. I am going to get electric garage door openers also, due to the fact they gained entry to the garage by easily picking the lock on the garage door.
I tend to think an alarm that has a very loud siren or horn would cause the thieves to run. I have to look into this more though. Your comments and suggestions are very appreciated and welcome. Thanks!

Hi blondie and XenaW! Thanks for your reply! The detective that came out said he did not recommend a security system. They are often very expensive and the thieves have easy ways to disable them. He recommended a sign and stickers for the windows. I ran this suggestion past a fellow I work with who is a part time police officer. He said his brother tried the sign and sticker idea and was robbed three times in one month and bought a security system and has not been bothered since.
We were robbed on Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning the detective came out and that afternoon a crew of repairmen fixed out door. The police had put an article in the local paper and on Wed morning an ADT salesman showed up trying to sell us an expensive system. Can you say "ambulance chaser". His action has kind of turned us off from going to a security company. He was real smug and cocky, not too sympathetic.
I do want to get something but I am confused on what to do.
Thanks again...CC

Two weeks ago on a Monday afternoon our house was broken into and we were robbed. The theives took all of Tink's jewelry she owned and some of mine as well. She was wearing her wedding ring at the time but everything else is gone. They took her entire jewelry box (which her Dad made for her) and alot of costume jewelery from her Mom (which she got after her death). They took Tink's digital camera and Sony Camcorder along with two DVD players. They destroyed our kitchen door to the garage breaking in.
Our insurance has already sent a crew over to repair and repaint our kitchen, but the loss of jewelry will be pretty much a total loss. We didn't have a policy on the jewelry.
We are fortunate that they didn't harm our two dog's, some theives do harm or take animals. Tink was an hour passed the time they robbed us, which she may have walked in on it (she decided to go grocery shopping before going home). I am so thankful she was safe!
I totally despise thieves! We are both in the "anger" stage.
Our mailman and our neighbor saw them leaving our driveway. They were young in their twenties. They must have been watching our house. Tink is always home but that Monday she started her first day volunteering at the Red Cross downtown Nashville, so they knew she was gone.
I imagine some of you have experienced being robbed as well. Didn't you wish you could get your hands on the thieves for just five minutes?
Tink and I are Beginning to settle down. We are thinking of an alarm system. Not the type you connect to a security switchboard, but one that blast's out a load siren. We have heard a few different suggestions on what to do for security. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
Thanks All.

Wow! Thank you all for giving Tink such kind words and advice. She and I went to a company dinner a few weeks ago. We sat with a guy I work with and his wife. During conversation, the topic of our parents came up. Tink simply said her father was deceased. Later on the drive home, she said how bad she was feeling. She said it bothered her not to be able to explain what happened to her father and to just say "he was deceased". She then said that she thought her father took not getting invited to our wedding hard, and that she was feeling that might have contributed to his action.
I told her basically what all y'all have. It wasn't your fault Darlin'. We'll be going to a SOS (Survivors of Suicide) meeting soon. I always attend with her and when we leave it always brings comfort to Tink to see that she really has come a long way and that she is moving on in her life.
Tink always makes the comment that she is glad not to be back where so many others now find themselves, back at the beginning. Everytime we attend (once or twice a year) there are many there who recently lost loved ones to suicide. It is very heartwrenching, and words cannot describe the feeling in your heart for those survivors.
Thank you all for looking after my little Tink. She's the best person I know and will EVER know.
Tink"s Hubby.....CC

I can't say that I'm surprised!
by CC Ryder intink and i just came back from a weekend in the town we lived in where we got da'ed.
we were getting ready to leave for home yesterday afternoon and her younger brother (not a jw) called to talk to tink with some "news" he heard.
he found out that the elder who spearheaded our ordeal with the jdc during our inquisition, has been having an affair with a sister in the cong we used to attend, for the past two years.

The day I posted this Simon was switching the Web site around or something..and it didn't show up after I posted it. However, I have been busy since and had not gotten back to the Forum till today. Sorry for not replying right away. Thank you for your comments...and SS I'll try to use paragraphs. I have a bad tendency to ramble on when I'm pissed off at the WTS...LOL.

Tink and I just came back from a weekend in the town we lived in where we got DA'ed. We were getting ready to leave for home yesterday afternoon and her younger brother (not a JW) called to talk to Tink with some "news" he heard. He found out that the Elder who spearheaded our ordeal with the JDC during our inquisition, has been having an affair with a sister in the Cong we used to attend, for the past two years. He "stepped down" as an elder. This sister was also having an affair with another brother at the same time. She is still married, has children, and her husband had served at Bethel for many years and is no longer a JW. The dub's consider him to be apostate(Good for him). Evidently this all blew up in their faces and the brother ended up getting DF'ed. As far as we know, the "sister" was not DF'ed nor was the Elder. To top it off, this "sister" has had at least two other affairs and has been caught flirting and talking over the phone with married brothers in the cong and has never been DF'ed. The Elder who stepped down, had made serious passes at my sister while visiting my father in the hospital last year. My sister faded out years ago, but occasionally attended meetings with my father when she first moved to TN. I talked to her yesterday and told her the news and she said, "I'm not surprised, he was trying to hit on me more than once". He was rubbing her back while my father was sleeping in his hospital bed and they were the only ones visiting at the time. He was coming on strong to her and she pushed off and asked him to leave. She never told my Dad what happened.
When I hear crap like this the first emotion that overtakes me is anger, but after a while I come to the same conclusion as my sister did when I told her, and that's that I can't say that I'm surprised. Back in CT, while I was going through a divorce, we had nine cases of adultry in one year that involved two elders, three pioneers, two ministerial servants and a few regular pub's. Tink has told me that she new of many more than that over her years being associated with JW's. I just have a hard time with the way the WTS dictates rules and policies. One such rule of thumb that bug's the S#*% out of me is the "weakness" vs "wickedness" differential. When Tink was going through emotional hell after her fathers suicide and we were trying to fade out, we were considered "wicked" because I asked to be left alone and had told the Elders that I was concentrating on caring for Tink's well being and that she was not emotionally capable of going before a committee to answer stupid questions about weather we are celibrating Christmas due to a card she sent to her sister who was not a witness. Her bro-in-law saw the card and turned Tink in. I explained the whole thing to this Elder while he came by our house and told him that I explained it once and was not going to repeat myself and would not allow Tink to get badgered and beat down at a committee meeting. Result: We were wicked and were no longer desiring to be witnesses and that our actions were actually stating that we no longer wanted to be JW's and that we were DA'ing ourselves. We had never stated any such thing. The Dub's in the Cong were led to believe, by the statement announced at the meeting, we wrote a letter, which we did not. The Elders made the decision for us (which turned out to be the best thing for us).
Hopefully any lurkers who read this account and many others here on the forum will consider what kind of Organization they are tied to. Sorry this is so long, I just felt it necessary to share with the forum.
