Were visits to the library an important part of your childhood?
by compound complex ingreetings, fellow bibliophiles:.
i remember how sad i was, as a little child, when our beloved carnegie library was razed (unsafe, structurally).
the same tragedy occurred when we moved to a new town and that similar architectural treasure was demolished to put up a new and gleaming building of steel and glass.

The very beautiful fiddle player in Buck Owens band [and his wife for 3 days] Jana Jae Greif was from Redding Calif. [school music teacher] started Dist. 6 of Calif. Old Time Fiddle Association. Which during the late 1970's and all of the 1980's put out more Weiser National Fiddle Champions than any where else in the nation. Hundreds of children got to learn fiddle music and enter fiddle contests because of her.
And yes she was easy on the eyes.

The Danites were REAL, they were part of the Mormon Church during the Missouri period, they were brutal, sworn to follow ALL instructions whether right or wrong coming from church leaders. Especially against dissenters with in the church.
Conan Doyle was as accurate in his research of fictional creditability as Tom Clancy was in our day.
zeb it was a good post.

Being Disfellowshipped + On-Going Cycle of Depression
by Cimarrona ini've been disfellowshipped for six years, since i was 18. i struggle with depression and self-destructive habits (minor in comparison to the suicides, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior of others i've grown up with who have left or were too afraid to leave).
i'm fairly successful for my age - respected in my field, i have an extensive curriculum vitae of published writing, presentations, and other projects.
yet, i often feel worthless and unloveable.

Work in the dirt, great suggestion.
Exercise in nature, one of the most recommended therapies.
I had it as rough as any, I day hiked Whiskeytown Park [pretty cool name huh] 4 - 10 miles, it works.
Put your son I a joggers push carriage, you will create a bond that will do both of good. And in time you will realize it was one of the best investments you ever made.
In nature you will meet life's winners, no losers

The Watchtower's Real Crisis
by JeffT inwhen discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

That is very true.
I have been working on a variance of that since the mid 1980's when Matt.24:34 went from "singular" to "plural. Enough to have my tactics of writing letters to publishers homes to be included into the 2013 talk on "Human Apostates".
Jeff I read your stuff pretty close on the money issues. As to the church's money issues and two billion from Brooklyn assets "Orphan Crow's" post which includes a You Tube video of Lorenz Reibling in Argentina offering multiple multi million dollar funding of "worthy developments" fits right in with the question as to where has two billion dollars disappeared to. Close connections between Mr. Reibling and WTB&TS.

Mary was not a medical assistant! Her name is Sharon, she is now married to my uncle. She was a nurse. The issue was a married sister scheduled for a abortion, Sharon went to the sister tried to change her mind about ending a human life, the sister did not listen, she went to the elders to try to save a human life, they failed. The abortion happened, Sharon was black balled from the medical profession.
I did a post on this before and everyone completely missed the point as they went off on how Sharon got what she deserved. The point of this article is that it is designed for a certain purpose that of creating a TOOL to use in the control of people!
The whole article is a deception! Smoke and mirrors! Even the guy who was assigned to write the article thought it pure deceptive bull shit!
That can be seen by the commentary on Lev.5:1 as the man doing the cursing is before a convened court room setting and is the victim of a crime yet has the power to put forth the call for a witness of the crime to forward to testify so as to establish justice. Take the time to research Google search commentary on Lev.5:1 go to Bible Hub, read commentaries. Gill's commentary uses the word "neighbor" to show that the entire community had the legal right to put forth a "call to testify" as justice was a community responsibility. There was no "not my problem" attitude to crime being committed to other people.
Read the new RNWT revision on Lev.5:1 and ask why has this major change been cloaked in silence by the WTB&TS?
In the 2013 talk on "Human Apostates" there was mention of a apostate who was writing letters to the homes of the publishers. I am that man. This article "A Time to Speak When" was the subject of those letters. The reason for letters was to plug into the internal church 'grape vine' so as to out flank the shunning policy designed to isolate publishers from information.
The issue was how Lev.5:1 per Wt article "A Time to Speak When" related to a $4,250,000 unregistered securities swindle and two law enforcement agencies letters which elders refused to forward to Merton Campbell on the Northern California Service Desk.
A researcher investigating another widow being defrauded by the same swindler Googled the swindlers name and up popped his name connected to my name and took him directly to this web site and my postings. Evidently the matter was taken to a judicial meeting and Ray was [again] found guilty of defrauding another in a long series of widows out of $100,000.00 as he is to make restitution in the amount of $40.00 a month. Ray got a hundred thousand the widow gets $40.00 until it gets forgotten.
My efforts surrounding "A Time to Speak When?" deal specifically around a swindler who ever since 1982 has been defrauding widows out of hundred of thousands of dollars with in the JW church. He is a master corrupter of anything and anyone he touch's [a Frank Colombo of the NY mob] couple him with WTB&TS traveling men who will sell the Word of God through "simony" and bribes Isa.1:23 at the drop of a hat, widows will be defrauded and no one cares.
But! What was the reason why the WTB&TS instructed a writer the assignment to write a article that he did not personally agree with to where he very slyly slipped in a very subtle "key" to unlock the deception. You have to really read careful as the commentary on Lev.5:1 in no way related to the application it was used for. The commentary and the application DON'T MIX!!! There was a reason the writer was forced to write something he did not agree with! And somebody smarter than me knows what that reason was. But they said I can't tell and that I can wait just like everyone else to find out the reason behind the article "A Time to Speak When?".
Now we all got something to look forward to.
