The bottom line is.......even if Charles Manson got released and claimed conversion to the JW's, all the honchos of the congregation would love bomb him and give him all privileges as long as he got the magic number of 10 hours a month door knocking.
Being a JW is like an open bank vault for any thief/potential murderer/child molester/rapist/con-man/sociopath or whatever to ply his trade as long as he/she says what the "brothers" want to hear.

Other than the ones I knew that had to do prison sentences because of the military draft, there was a 15 year old from my old cong. that was "encouraged" (read coerced) to get baptized when he was 12. That was back in the late 1980's. He then went to live with his father and got involved in drug dealing and shot and killed two other drug dealers here in the Western Pa. area.
His mother was outraged that he was sentenced to 50 years in prison. (He was such a good boy) Yeah.....right! He was never anything but trouble but mommy refused to see it.
One of my fellow elders at the time told mommy that a 50 year sentence was the best thing that could have happened to him and she blew a gasket once again. The gist of what he said was......."well, if he wasn't caught, how long would it take until he was shot and killed? At least he will be alive in prison." Mommy didn't know what to say.
I'm sure by now that he has a real steady boyfriend.

hi guys!.
as my first post i wanted to go over this topics rules considering i treat it like my house.
the moderators i will call my landlord and hopefully.
Looks like Brownboy under another one of his many names (for those of you who remember him) on some very strong self-medication.

will these birthers never give up?.
wnd exclusive a question of eligibility.
obama critic coming closer to social security records?.
Bottom line is.....if Obama is legitimate, then ALL info about his birth/SSN and past should be forthcoming. When all the shucking and jiving is going on, it makes not only me but many others wonder who is really controlling D.C. and who actually trained Obama.
No one should be allowed to run for office in the U.S. without release of all pertinent records about their life and residencies.

post-rapture supplies needed (cape cod)date: 2011-05-19, 2:46am edt.
the rapture is this saturday, and i will be one of the many left behind.
when you go to heaven, you can't take your possessions with you.
Moshe and titch,
I didn't know you guys are HAMS. I am too! The only other hams I have met here are Honesty and a great guy who I can't remember his name or call that I used to talk to regularly. From about 1979 on, I checked in to the JW nets regularly. Maybe we might have even talked. Who knows?
By the way Moshe......from reading and and being enlightened by your posts.....I have learned that you live very close to my daughter. I won't name the community at this time but you should be familiar with the following eating places. Fitzgerald's Irish Pub, Buffalo Chips and Old 41 and Master Bait and Tackle. I am there several times a year. Several times that I have visited I thought of PMing you to see if you wanted a meetup but I wasn't sure if you wanted to. We differ in opinion but I never push my agenda in person.
If you guys PM me I will give you my ham call and pertinent info. Unfortunately, I moved into an apartment 2 years ago and because of all the line noise I get here, I can't operate HF. My ham club is TRAC.

reporting time weekly.
today i uploaded a new article onto my blog recounting the days when watchtower had witnesses turning in field service reports on a weekly basis.
the article is titled reporting time weekly and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/05/reporting-time.html.
I remember that! Not sure if it was in the late 1980's or early 1990's. The tyranical PO at that time (and my arch enemy when I was an elder) really pushed this. He would use a scripture from one of the first books of the OT when Jehovah told the Israelites what to do........"and they did just so!"
I don't miss any of that high control BS.

whats the most depressing song you have ever heard?
i would go with either johnny cash - hurt or gary jules-mad world.
"Alone Again......naturaly" Don't remember who did it. I think it was from the late 1970's.
