  I think it's kind of screwed up. The number 1 by my envelope never goes away even after I check my PM's. Last PM I got was a month ago. So why doesn't the notice go away since I checked and answered my PM?

  I'm soooooooo happy that I left that cult.....and thankful that my daughter did too! She was actually out mentally a year before I was but was afraid to tell me. I figured it out all on my own and now we are a HappyDad and daughter.

  I forgot to add. Here in Western Pa. is the "Funeral Consumer Alliance of Western Pennsylvania" which I joined after my wife died in 1966. They have quite a few Funeral Directors in the area who will provide a low cost funeral of your choice. The one I picked will cremate me when my time comes for just under $1000. You can check them out on the web.

  When I go, it's cremation. I told my daughter and I preach this to others.......why give all that insurance money to the Funeral Home when creamation is a fraction of the cost. Keep that insurance money for your family. Also, there are a lot of people without insurance but their kids want to show face so to speak and they go all out for a fancy casket and funeral. Then they have to struggle to pay for it themselves. Kind of rediculous if you ask me!

  today my mom called me three times at work to tell me how "worried" she was about my spirituality.. i so wanted to tell her some ttatt but just said, "mom, i am fine spiritually.

  if i am ever in trouble spiritually, i will tell you.

  meanwhile, i would really appreciate it if you left my relationship with god a private matter.".

  TTATT,

  I agree with you using the 6 points you stated. I think #4 and 5 will get her thinking. Good luck.

  juror email leads to mistrial.

  that juror now faces a possible contempt of court charge.the trial of a man involved in a high speed crash that killed a prince george's county police officer last year ended in a mistrial.. one of the jurors told the judge via email thursday morning that judging others was a violation of her religion as a jehovah's witness, news4's prince george's county bureau chief tracee wilkins reported.. kevon darnell neal, 23, was charged with vehicular manslaughter and fleeing and eluding following the death of officer adrian morris, 23.. morris and his partner were pursuing a stolen silver acura when their cruiser ran off interstate 95 near the powder mill road exit in august 2012. morris died after being ejected from the vehicle.

  I hope that juror is held for contempt and fined the amount that it cost the county for that trial. That should set her back quite a bit. And her KH and the society won't pitch in a penny. That' why they say that it is up to the individual. Bull crap!

  How Many Remember the Mass Skating Rink Parties of the Late 70's ?

  We had quite a few of those in the Pittsburgh area along with organized square dances in the 1970's and 80's. It all came to a halt when the new CO Ken Alms came to town. He was like the old west sheriff who came to town to clean it up. He put a stop to everything. So what did the young JW's do? They still went out but now they were around nothing but "worldly' people. That move by the society probably drove as many people away from the "truth" as finding out how twisted all their doctrine is. The TATT (truth about the truth) for those who didn't know, is a wonderful thing.

  i was looking for something else and came across this old radio information pertaining to jws.

  wpow - 1330 am, new york

  jehovah's witnesses was one of the first religious organizations to enter the broadcasting field.. in 1923, the international bible students' association (as it was then called - the name 'jehovah's witnesses' waa adopted in 1931) bought the equipment of radio station wdt (see page 1) at stapleton, staten island, which the ship owners radio service was shutting down.. .

  I used to have a deer rifle and a shotgun but sold them since I do not hunt anymore. I hunted from the time I was 12 or 13 with my Dad and continued even as a JW. Now I have handguns for personal protection and a legal concealed carry permit. I've been trained on their proper use! I'm also an NRA member and proud of it. If anyone kicks my door down and gains access while I'm home, they will most likely be carried out in a body bag.

  Thank you Governor Corbet for signing the Castle Law.
