we have a massive fire surrounding our community in santa clarita, ca.

3 false comforters have called me this morning.

they said was i and my property ok. two never asked about the family.

Thanks for the concerns and prayers. We just had a new fire start in Stevenson Ranch, CA. I went to the top of the mountain and it is BAD. Fortunately it is on the other side of Santa Clarita. This city is literally surronded by fire. Last night it was difficult to breath.

28,000 acres and 25 structures destroyed.

We can see the smoke from the Buckweed fire, but still no flames. It is really an incredible sight to see flames 50'+.

I am fine, the wife and 13 YO are a wreck. Just left my neighbors in the street and helped them establish an evacuation line.

We have a massive fire surrounding our community in Santa Clarita, CA. 3 false comforters have called me this morning. They said was I and my property OK. Two never asked about the family. They were disapointed when I said the fire was 4 miles away. So far over 25k acres have burned and we have 90 mph winds expected. We may be evacuated tonight. The loving brothers from my old hall never extended an invitation for me to come to their home. One even said, well that's what happens when you move way up there.

What LOVE.

I may lose my home and some jealous elders are still hatin'

True Agape Love.

I truly can relate to Job and his false comforters. On the other hand, about 20 or more worldly people have extended invitations to us. These are the ones that will die very soon at God's war.

i work for a telecommunications company and in so doing, i deal with a lot of fraud.

now, what i am about to say could come across as racist and i hope people read the whole thing to get what i am saying and know i am not racist (... to add though, i really am past caring what people think).

in the state of north carolina, you can run up your phone bill to $1000's and $1000's and by law you only have to pay basic local service to keep services on.

I agree wit Savemysoul completely. It's poverty and not race. Go to Montana and look at the meth problem among white teenagers and adults...

It is incredible how someone can introduce a topic with, "Not that I am racist but.........................black people do not pay their phone bills..........................Bill Cosby was right........................I said low income not black,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,more blacks are in prision and,,,,,,then they are supported by..................u would be anally raped in a detroit park.................. I address every issue they pose, yet they ignore mine. EVERYONE of mine. Am I missing something here? I am forced to questions because this was NOT an intelligent dialogue.

Please don't suggest that they only get welfare because they're black. It does them a terrible injustice.

GREAT POST, laced with facts and information. They are rare in this thread.

Go walk at night at any Detroit 'park'. If you survive the stroll I'll give you examples. By large, the black cominity in America has a severe attitude problem. Voting for Obama will not save your butt when getting mugged.

I am not racist, but my beloved dad was. Comments like the above help me to understand why he taught me to have a superiority complex.

Remember, phone bills and Bill Cosby's comments are now connected to Barak the democrat, Detroit Parks and my rectum.

hummmmm

It's a social problem in general, not just limited to one particular race.

happens everywhere regardless of race, colour or creed.

These are my sentiments as well. I agree with you 1000% It is socio-economic, not because of race.

When I say this, someone tells me blacks have an attitude problem, their are more blacks in jail and I forgot the rest. Oh yeah, something about a park in Detroit and my butt or was it San Francisco and my butt??? I lost the point (just like a few others)

All of this is connected to the fact that I agree with Bill Cosby. Am I off base on this?

Bill Cosby is right. He is a great man. Never liked MLK though, just my opinion again

Someone else mentioned him. I responded to more then one poster. I know a small group of older black men and woman. I know a few more younger, as I used to help coach sports related things locally. Anyway, most of the black people I know are freely admitting there is a problem and hope things change. My good friend of many years, was a guard at Pelican State Prison in California and a;ways felt it was sad how many African American men wasted their life early by turning to a life of crime over and over. My neighbor is a retired police officer from LA and felt the same. How do you make change though? By listening. Minorities as a whole are wasting a lot of opportunity. To add, I have only known one black family I would consider wealthy and the rest struggled. When I coached, I knew a lot of single mothers and felt sad for the boys, as I think a whole family has benefits (Despite any color). I will add something, I live in a very racist part of the country. KKK members are around here, and the black friends I have do not spend a lot of time alone on streets. Southern Oregon is not LA and things have happened here I am not proud of seeing in the news. Although, racist behavior is second worse to the METH problem. Even had racist behavior in the congregations. My point about the phone bill, is that it is way to common and shows a trend. A trend that from just a small slice of information, shows why Cosby is so concerned.

Thanks for responding. Point taken.

In Los Angeles, there is an area called Baldwin Hills that is called the black Beverly Hills. Several of the witnesses in the View Park Cong. have businesses and are very wealthy. Most of the brothers have Republican views because they perserve our way of life. I am not for social programs unless they are for the elderly, children or the handicap. Again, just my opinion. Most of my co-workers make well over 100 k a year. Their chldren have no connection with gangs. It bothers me when others think that 40 million blackkk people all think the same.

Today, my company sponsored an event in LA. After I spoke, I went to my old neighborhood in South LA, the Bad one. It is surprising, the children I grew up with were HANGING out. Stuck in a cycle of poverty and ignorance. My brothers and I are middle class, as we were raised, while others from single parent families are repeating the path of their parents. I attend several Diversity Conferences every year. The Linkage in Atlanta and the Conference Board in NYC are my favorites. I enjoy this topic a great deal.

Again, I did not mean to offend you in anyway. I love good dialogue, well, any dialogue on this subject matter. I just noticed the rhetoric and links you were making and I felt compelled to respond. I agree with Bill and I am aware of the problem in the black community. I live it every day. I live in a very racist area now as well. Valencia, Ca. I enjoy the challenge though. Most racist are wealthy here, but ignorant as well.

I have enjoyed the dialogue with you, but i must prepare for a possible evacuation. We have 3 fires in our area tonight.

Thanks for the convo.

Fact, African American population in prison is outnumbering all others.

Tangent, try connectioning the dots first. You have NOT responded to any of the questions that I pose, but I address each of yours. Just curious, how long were you a witness? Did you study for the meetings? Answer the other 23 questions before coming to these two. Blacks, phone bills and now prisions.

Please try to address my points before introducing a new one.

Am I clear? Is this understandable?

What, now you want specific names of black vandals, assholes and criminals? Bill Cosby makes reference to the trend, and I agree. Bury your head in the sand, the black destructive criminal trend remains unaddressed because people like you make it an untouchable racial issue.

I apologize for not being clear. I obviously have the problem of NOT adressing your points directly. I do not ask you to name anyone. You are really missing the point on this.

You say that the majority (that means 20 million people or more) have an attititude problem. I ask you to validate this (that means to offer proof other than your personal biased opinion). Is this from watching MTV?

If you read my post and understand them, you will clearly see that I agree with William H. (Bill Cosby). Your point above is......................

I am a 3rd generation Republican and I do not ignore any problems in the Black community. I volunteer many hours in poor neighborhoods. Again, read the post and respond accordingly.

Did you notice I respond to your items individually. It should be clear to understand and respond to my points. You and Silver Surfer have missed the boat several times. Most JW's have very good debating techniques. They comment in the meetings and can make an intelligent response to a question. Going off on unrelated tangents is not a characteristic of the typical once baptized JW.

Just an observation, no disrespect is intended.
