The worry is control of turf. The Hells Angels went to open a tattoo parlour at Burleigh Heads and it got fire bombed before it opened. The Finks parlour got bombed a few days later. I wonder who did that? Also there is no problems getting a pistol, if you have connections. So all the bad guys have guns. At this stage they are feuding amongst themselves but it could (will) spill out.

When I was young there were many more guns but they were the last resort. Men sorted out issues with their fists and nearly always one on one. There was an honour code even in prison. Now these idiots who have been raised on too much TV fire pistols wildly out of moving cars. Just rediculous as you could hardly hit a barn door that way. The bikers are just a front for meth dealing. I worry for my country as life has become a parody of itself....

Yeah if you Googled the Courier Mail it would come up. About '71 or '72. We had a small time drug racket out of Palm Beach. The drugs (just hash etc) would be dropped off ships going in to Brisbane and runabouts would fish the parcels out of the ocean. Geez we were just kids...Seriously all of Qld was corrupt then. You couldn't get a building buit in Surfers Paradise without paying off Russ Hinze and Joh. That is not an exaggeration

Ah yes Julia. Wild times and corruption was rife. I got bashed by the riot police at New Years Eve on the Gold Coast (Coolangatta). The police had no identity badges on and the Courier Mail the next day said that police had snipers on the roofs of nearby buildings!! There had been a riot the year before so Joh called in the big guns. I left Qld to go to Byron Bay! LOL!

When I was a kid in the 70's I got mixed up in the tow truck wars in South Brisbane. Corrupt cops, prostitution, drugs and PLENTY of guns and shootings. Weapon of choice was the sawn off double barrelled shotgun. It seems there is more media coverage now...

Literature Display Stands... Turning JWs into stationary targets...
by Calebs Airplane inbecause of the membership retention issues that seem to continue getting worse, the watchtower corporation appears to be running out of ideas.
in the past, when the numbers have dropped (membership, fs hours, rag placements, money, etc.
) they always came up with a "hook" that would give them a boost until the next drop in numbers (i.e.

The local jws have set up a stall outside a bank (on weekends) near my favourite coffee shop. I have seen them many times and all they do is chat amongst themselves, never have I seen an interaction outside of their group. All have that steely smile but their eyes show real discomfort (maybe recognising me as an apostate). It's really very sad as that zeal that drove the witnesses pror to the generation debacle is long gone and they know they are flogging a very dead armageddon/end is near belief.

Since leaving watchtower what has been your biggest act of rebellion?
by 3rdgen ini'm in a pissy mood and would love to hear your stories.

Once I cleared the jw mind control I never saw any behaviour as rebellious, rather just catching up on normal experiences that men go through in their lives. On the other hand I am writing my experiences down for my children and they have read the drafts. My son just laughs and my daughter who is very open minded said her kids aren't reading it until they are eighteen!

"Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary."

Hey Satanus I think that definition is for flora and fauna. Try googling indigenous people.
