reading cedar's excellent article about the july 15, 2013 new-light" study edition of the watchtower got me thinking:.
the control freaks in brooklyn known as the governing body (aka fds) must be having conniption fits knowing that there is a mole in bethel leaking information to apostates!
"three weeks ahead of its expected release date in mid-april, a scanned copy of the july 15 2013 "study edition" of the watchtower was leaked to the office of jwsurvey by a conscientious active witness within the organization.".
There is enough discontent over in Bethel to produce moles.
If the WT eliminated what is causing the discontent- guess what?- they wouldn't be the WT Society anymore. They would just be a religious publishing company that has an outdated list of publications that nobody wants to buy or even read.
in the usa a new record was set on food stamp enrollments, which seems ironic.
you would think as unemployment drops , food stamp usage would be dropping, too.
maybe those government unemployment numbers are fake numbers.
No one is talking about you but you.
We know a judge that approves over 90% of the claims is not doing his job.
Some people love to talk about themselves- I don't know why she opens the door (this is the umpteenth time she has told us her family woes about disabled hubby)-seeing how it's a sensitive issue. Maybe a fulltime job outside of the home would keep her off the forum and then her feelings won't get hurt. by the way, do caregivers of disability recipients with minor children get a SS check, too?
in regard to the conti case......i have a new hypothesis.
i think they know they can't win this one.
but for the sake of damage control, they must litter the court with appeals and extensions.
I was surprised by her candor- I think she wasn't happy about the tract campaign- Funny how that 2006 tract mentions child abuse and the Catholic church- now their finger is pointing back at them- I have saved that tract in the hopes WT judgement day arrives in court and it can be used against the average JW.= get out of the KH or share in the WT's sin.

The con artists ruin it for the folks who do deserve disability benefits. Nothing new about that.

For a false claim, pain and mental illness is harder to disprove than heart disease and stroke, isn't it?
I wonder if forum member Lars is drawing his disability check?
we hear of stories of parents who have their kids act out fake mental illness, so the family can get a government check- it's not hard to find lawyers who can help coach you into how to get disability- they get you over the hump and jump through the hoops. Some judges are on record as approving over 90% of their applications. BETTER MOVE TO HIS JURISDICTION
By DAMIAN PALETTA
HUNTINGTON, W.Va.-Americans seeking Social Security disability benefits will often appeal to one of 1,500 judges who help administer the program, where the odds of winning are slightly better than even. Unless, that is, they come in front of David B. Daugherty.
The Herald-Dispatch
In the fiscal year that ended in September, the administrative law judge, who sits in the impoverished intersection of West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, decided 1,284 cases and awarded benefits in all but four. For the first six months of fiscal 2011, Mr. Daugherty approved payments in every one of his 729 decisions, according to the Social Security Administration.
The judge has maintained his near-perfect record despite years of complaints from other judges and staff members. They say he awards benefits too generously and takes cases from other judges without their permission.
Staffers in the Huntington office say he hears a disproportionate number of cases filed by one area attorney. Mr. Daugherty has been known to hold hearings for as many as 20 of this lawyer's clients spaced 15 minutes apart---

Thanks for the details, wasblind. My deceased former father in law, was raised near Hertford, NC on a farm- back in the 1920-30's. When he retired in 1980 from a refinery job, he went back to the old homestead with 40 acres of woods- the heirs had sold off the farmland. most of the farmers in the area were now black farmers- with big 4wd tractors and hundreds and hundreds of acres of land. Most of the wihite kids all left the farms after WW2 for high pay city jobs. The black farmers and their kids stayed put and they took over the farming of the area. A lot of folks don't know about successful black farming operations. Do you know that before they had refrigerated trucks to ship seafood it was very cheap? He told me his family used to trade a bushel of corn for a bushel of oysters- shucked them out and with their own fresh milk and butter had a poor man's Sunday supper of oyster stew. Moshe loves oyster stew- it's not cheap today, though.
We had it for our Sunday supper, too, until about 1960 when oysters got too expensive,

wasblind, your man will love it.
As you said, there is nothing like home cooking. My 13 yr old daughter and I are always taking pictures of yummy food- she started it.
Here is a picture of my $5.20 shrimp lunch ( w/iced tea), hush puppy rings, oinion rings & grean beans, near Darlington, SC- the restuarant is called the Mayflower- the locals told me about it.
Do you have a secret spot in your area wasblind? Maybe someone could start a new topic about these local secret restaurants/diners.

Speaking of beans, Wasblind-
I make this soup, that my wife just loves- it's real comfort food- and even better with a slab of homemade cornbread and butter.- ( oh, to have the cracklin' corn bread my mom used to make us in the iron skillet)
2 cans of chicken broth ( no broth? boil that rotisserie chicken carcass in 6 cups of water or so- you get the broth and the meat at the same time)
1 can of diced tomates with garlic and onions( like onions? I saute extra in the soup pot before I start)
1 can of white cannellini beans ( you can substitute great northern beans)
2 cups of diced rotisserie chicken ( we like Costco's chicken)
a cup of frozen corn
1/2-1 cup of your favorite salsa- start with 1/2- you can add more, if you want more zip- add water as needed.
salt/pepper to taste.
I can eat this soup every week when the weather is cold. '
(yes, this is my bowl of soup)
in regard to the conti case......i have a new hypothesis.
i think they know they can't win this one.
but for the sake of damage control, they must litter the court with appeals and extensions.
I remember in 2006 when the JWs were doing their end of the world tract campaign and I told a JW on the sidewalk about the silent lambs stuff- she seemed surprised and shocked to hear about it ( mental denial sets in)- I followed her back to her car and repeated the website address to her again- I asked- "what are you going to do if I am right about the abuse?" - she didn't answer me- just before she close the car door I told her- " I'll tell you what you will do- nothing, you will take it up the keester and do nothing"-- she paused, and said, "you're right", then she closed the car door.
