i haven't been to a meeting in eight years, but at least once a month, i have a dream that i'm at a meeting or out in service or at an assembly or in some other witness-related situation.

it's like those school dreams where you dream you have a calculus final that morning and you haven't been to class all semester.

Thats weird. Just in the past few days I have been having dreams about being at the hall and also being disconnected from everyone aroud me. I also felt pitty for them. At the end of the dream I felt like what the hell am I doing here?

my 11 year-old is getting picked on at school.

he is not cut out for competitive sports and not interested.

i've pushed my jw mindset aside and am considering letting him take a martial arts class (gasp).

There are many different styles. Find one that empahsizes self-discipline and self confidence. Your child will gain these attributes as he progresses thru the training program. Students should be taught to walk away from a fight but be equiped to defend himself when forced to do so. I recommend the smaller dojos. Smaller teacher to student ratio. Stay away from facilities that garantee your student to be a master in a year. Bruce Lee said that the only thing a belt is use for is to hold up your pants.

What is the oldest witness publication you actually remember?

by AK - Jeff in

not just one you have seen - or even researched since leaving.

but the oldest one you recall studying when you 'got the truth' or as a child?.

i remember "let god be true" - 'babylon the great has fallen'- and 'paradise restored - paradise regained' [the big orangish/pink book - hope i got the name right] - all 50's early 60's books.

Denver's Illegal Alien Sanctuary Policy (3) Undocumented immigrants (includes illegal and ?undocumented aliens? as referred to in the Federal Immigration and Naturalization act) 1. The responsibility for enforcement of immigration laws rests with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.N.S.). Denver Police officers shall not initiate police actions with the primary objective of discovering the immigration status of a person. 2. Generally, officers will not detain, arrest, or take enforcement action against a person solely because he/she is suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. If enforcement action is deemed necessary under these circumstances, the approval of an on duty supervisor or commander is required. In addition, as soon as is practical the commander of the involved officer shall be notified. 3. However, when a suspect believed to be an undocumented immigrant is arrested for other charges, a "Refer to Immigration" charge will be added to the original charges. Sheriff's Department Personnel will then notify the I.N.S. authorities according to their procedures. 4. The charge "Hold For Immigration" will be lodged against a prisoner only when a warrant has been issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, or an agency thereof, and then only when the warrant is on an immigration matter. 5. Physical evidence pertaining to immigration violations shall be placed in the Property Bureau as evidence when there is no arrest made. A letter detailing the circumstances of the recovery of the property and the property invoice number shall be sent to the commander of the Crimes Against Persons Bureau for disposition. 6. All questions pertaining to the handling of immigration related cases shall be directed to the officer?s supervisor and/or commanding officer. In addition, the commander of the Civil Liability Bureau is available for guidance regarding enforcement and non-enforcement immigration matters.

So you impound. You take his car. Big deal. He aquires another.What about the guy with an invalid license? In Denver the police are told not to get involved with immigration cases. So what happens? They are let go. If the same thing happens to me I go to jail thein lies the proof of the difference in rights.
