i decided to treat myself to breakfast out at our favorite greasy spoon this morning.
i settled into my booth (when did they shrink the booths?
) and was enjoying that first sip of java when one of my favorite wait-persons walks up and throws an awake magazine right on top of my paper.
I am in Portland doing a job. It happens that this job is in the downtown area. I have seen several times, as early as 7:00am, cute little jw's handing out "old" WT's on the street corners. Being the "apoztate" that I am, I shun them, as if they had a STD. But, being a General Contractor & having to use Labor Ready for some of my needed unskilled grunt work, one of them obviously actually took one of these "old" WT's into the store I'm building & left it. Not seeing it for several days & not actually touching a Watchtower in over 15 years, I was almost afraid to pick it up, but I did pick it up & took it back to the hotel I'm staying at, thinking that I might get a good laugh at what they are spewing out in "these LAST days." Well, when I did get around to looking at the cover, I noticed it was from 2003, not hardly the "most recent newest light." So I used it to catch the coffe that spills from the coffe maker carafe that no matter how hard you try to pour from without spilling any, ALWAYS spills. So.......you see......the Watchtower's that are given away for free, often very outdated, CAN be put to good use!

I am in Portland,Oregon doing a job. I filled my 2006 Ford F-150 pickup last week...........$95.00, $2.69 @ gallon ! Upon arrival here 5 weeks ago, it was $2.39 @ gallon, $ 75.00 to fill up. It is now up to $2.79 @ gallon. It will cost me over $ 100.00 next time I fill up !
When I got my very first car many, many ,many years ago, $7.00 would fill the 22 gallon tank. Even then I thought that sure was a lot of money. It doesn't matter what we pay for fuel, it will ALWAYS seem to be too much!

you can thank the watchtower society for this.. here is an email from my hosting company:.
unfortunately it appears your site/account was involved in violation of using copyrighted material involved with watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania.".
as a result of this abuse and activity, we will be unable to reinstate this account for any reason.. in addition, due to the nature of this abuse and the risk of transferring sensitive or illegal content if we were to provide you your files, we will be unable to provide with backups.. it is unfortunate that this has occurred, and we are aware that more than likely this was not your intent to host, however the fact remains it did exist and complaints were made.
................why all the uproar? the "society" has been doing this sort of sh*t for a long...long...long...long time.all of us who were ever a part.......... ( thru our own choice or by being " brought up in the TRUTH")....... of this "organization"..."society".... "cult"....... have to realize that they are going to "try to protect (CONTROL) the flock" from all the bad influences from Satan...the Apostates...THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH....anything against the WTB&TS ......all that is bad on the "super info hiway"....even though they strongly advise against reading anything on the internet, they constantly try to control what is available for the " true seekers of truth" to read. Note...they TRY! Obviously to little or no avail.
.......control....control....do as we say.....not as we do, for WE are the VOICE of JEHOVAH! and....only by strict following of OUR rules shall you gain EVERLASTING life....and don't you forget it or else........

do you think that if a person was an elder that when he comes on these boards, he still thinks and acts like an elder??
?
...........................you know...........not just "elders" have a hard time "letting go".....many I know, who have been out a LONG time still seem "scared" to beleive in "something else"....christmas, halloween, r rated movies, going to a "worldly church"........on & on & on

well this poor jw walked to the table to sort out the throw aways just as i headed there also.. i saw him and smiled, then he dropped his head to not look at me.
we both sorted out the things for the trash bin and were only about 20 or so inches apart.. i remember him coming to my house when my daughters were young girls and he wanted to get aquainted.. maybe i should have spoken to him but i just looked at him and he refused to even look back.. how sad.
he always has this really sad disappointed look on his face.
......................... you know, it's like they think that if they even look at you or heaven forbid, crack a smile................it's instant "piller of salt"

i never thought i would do one of those infamous goodbye i cant take this board anymore posts where the person shows up again a week later and looks like an idiot.
when i had enough of this board and needed a little break i would just quietly leave for a few months and hopefully nobody noticed.
that is not the case this time.

may the rest of your journey be as fruitful....

maybe this has been addressed before, but after reading certain comments about people being "outed", i wonder if the wts really monitors this site?
if so, to what extent?
or is it just individual elders etc.?.
