Puerto Rico has become a crime haven for several yrs now - it is beautiful but very sad for ones who planned to retire there. It's like Guatemala and too many other places natives won't return to even visit. Costa Rica safer but I've not had recent updates re/acquaintances who bought vacay/retirement home there but were enjoying and already flipping for different property last I heard. They had one break-in/invasion but didn't amount to much.

15Older JWs who go Overseas to Live
by LongHairGal ini know of two older couples who have gone overseas to live in recent years.
one could be classified in my opinion as a “need greater” although i think it might also have to do with getting more for their money.
the other i think was seeking out a cheaper and more naturally beautiful environment to live in their retirement years.. what i wondered is if these people are disenchanted and bored with life in the states.

Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??
by minimus inas jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

They aren't hiding their bias these days -- it's unreal. It was liberal late 60s in the bay area (Viet Nam protests and I didn't have problem choosing sides then - hated that war!) where I attended but I loved it - then. Now I prefer a more balanced view.

Yes - I think one can't have enough education, however, with the political climate schools are not really teaching people to think for themselves. The curriculum doesn't seem to be what it once was. You have to believe in one side and if you don't agree with that position you'll be ridiculed and who knows what other negatives you will suffer. It's reality. Students are being brainwashed - this now starts in grade school (elementary) and clearly in high school and college.
Students need to hear more than one side of the party - differing opinions freely discussed but now it's difficult. Yrs ago different speakers were allowed on campuses -- far left/far right. Now the administrations are only encouraging one political side and find many ways to control the political agenda.

WOW - one has to be brave to venture life in Central America altho US is scary enough! I know Mexicans who have experienced horror stories visiting family/living in Central America - one family in Caribbean. I know this use to be popular but only desperate JWs would be forced to do this.
Know of 2 families that have beautiful homes in Mexico -- they drive to border, park their normal car and drive into Mexico in beater/clunker. I think Puerto Vallarta might be tad safer and know family that lives there half the year and love it.

Who the heck cares what 'we' (the the goon squad) needs in their fake scare tactic Armageddon. They sure as hell need doctors and lawyers all over the world in realty (NOW) to keep the circus alive. Cult is filty rich off of fantasy fear.

After reading about the oceans, etc., and reminded about all the marine life horror, I'll go back to using those grocery bags I bought -- unfortunately, most of that plastic in the oceans is coming from China but that's no excuse for me to be a plastic addict. It's just convenient and cleaner util it's not. Recycling is easy to do and we've had yrs. to practice but giving up plastic trash liners is going to be quite an adjustment. -

Plastic wrap in rolls at Home Depot is fabulous to cover the carpet with -- the contractors use it to cover/protect carpet when they're working. The heavy Ram board (cardboard-type paper) works great over hard surface areas but it rips, tears, looks filthy, and you can't clean it off during construction but is a good protective measure on granite/marble, ceramic, floors. Wish I could cover the furniture with it/lolol as my husband doesn't worry much about his ink pens -- I've had to replace end section of the 'L' leather sofa (new) that I waited 10 mos for order to be made delivered/installed -- safe products wouldn't even remove the ink w/out slight damage/unreal! Hey, just decided plastic cover like the 1950s - plastic is fantastic!. If only they made to fit -- would be perfect to cover seating area subject to marker pen/ink.
