1984 when the Wt said "we would be preaching to the sons and daughters of those sighing and groaning in Ezk ch 9".
I knew the church was going to deceive over 1975 and Matt. 24:34 was headed down the tube.

Do you remember when you realised it was all bulls£&t
by moley ini remember when my faith left me.
i used to enjoy meetings and used to participate but then all of a sudden i was finding myself bored shitless at meetings.
i was taken off the theocratic ministry school for not attending when i was due to give a talk and not long after did something naughty and got disfellowshiped.

I got a phone call a couple of hours ago to set up a service call for a Peterbuilt truck mounted with a vacuum unit at the Skyway Base Camp. As I am the outside road service provider for local Peterbuilt truck dealer. I don't think the service call will develop as the problem is in the vacuum unit which has it own specialized software package.
Those fire camps are very interesting, I have been to many. Last month I went to the Delta Fire camp in McCloud. For the purpose of heating and bending down bridge plate bent by a Cat track 'grouser". The bridge was privately owned I was told by the guy who owned the Oakland "Athletics" baseball club. The owner was due into this forest retreat [built by the Schilling seasoning family] [next to the Patty Hearst retreat on the private McCloud River] that evening and the USFS did not want to chance he would damage a tire. This was two days after the Athletics lost to the Yankee's, the guy probably in a foul mood.
The bridge was down about 9 miles into the USFS forest. It was absolutely beautiful creek. The Hearst compound and the other compounds are legendary retreats, for the natural beauty of forest and pristine wild river.
The Delta Fire base camp was at an old saw mill in McCloud. A big building, but there were other buildings as big but now torn down. Evidently that saw mill supplied the lumber to rebuild San Francisco from the earthquake and fire, a century ago. The glory days of logging.
Just some local trivia.

Today is a BIG anniversary for me...but--of what?
by TerryWalstrom intoday is a big anniversary day for me!.
october 23, 1967, was a monday.

Bill Covert
yeah, been there done that, 67 or 68 same issue same circumstance, only different sentence. The Sacramento judge fined $3,000 and 5 years probation. He figured prison for JW's was pointless and just a government expense. He was a fan of Abraham Lincoln and as during the Civil War one could buy their way out of army for $300, he just factored in inflation and made it $3,000.
I share your feelings of resentment as to the absence of human feeling and willingness to sacrifice peoples lives in pure hypocrisy.

That is to watch me tape letters and posts from this web site on their church doors, per Martin Luther!
They need to watch close as to whether or not I do damage to provide evidence to get a restraining order.
Saturday 6 KH's got the Thompsom Falls Newspaper article. Today they get the court exhibits
Last night the Red Bluff Ca. where James Henderson the child molester is from got copies.
I have taped lots of things to KH doors, even taped pretty pink panties when I had heard the swindler at the center of my dispute wife left him because of being homo.
Realize I use tape not nails tacks like my exemplar Martin Luther, can't trigger a restraining order for damaging church property.

Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?
by minimus inas an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.
he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.
he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

I Was only in one molestation about 1973. A 18 year old married man molested a child right in the Hall, the Elders meet with him that night, although the senior elders really didn't knew what to do because he was not baptized and kind of left it hanging. He lived right behind my house, so next morning I knocked on his door and told him "if you ever touch another child I will break your fucking neck!".
He was out of town that afternoon. I called Brooklyn where they said we could phone ahead and bar him from entering into another KH in the L.A. area his father was in. I did and he was not allowed in a KH as long as I knew. The child's mom was just a study and because of that decisive action became a witness.

california fires
by road to nowhere inthere is a new video on jwtv the california fires, how things are being handled.
it seems almost everyone managed to salvage his tie and razor.
i will not comment on those who lost homes, sad no matter what.

Did the video say how many JW's lost houses in the Redding "Carr Fire", where I live? The shunning policy is all encompassing so I am isolated about local events from the fire.
There was another major fire the "Happy Valley Fire" 16-18 years ago I sent a thousand dollars to local congregation handling donations back when I just had the "marked man" label, didn't even get a thank you.

How do you deal with the smoke?
by compound complex ini hope you're not dealing with wildfires in your area.

COC I just got back from the Carr fire area . between Redding and Whiskeytown Lake just devastation. I went to the Leweston road to work on a low bed. There was some fire burning by the road, evidently it made it to a 1/4 mile of Leweston and they think that part of the fire line will hold. lots and lots of powerline trucks planting new power poles. quite a sight. A lot of heat put off by the manzanita bushes.

Article in Sat. paper. The "Carr" fire tornado spun 143 mph winds, 35,000-foot-tall plume per National Weather Service. Yes the ash from that night had pieces of tree bark. They are thinking this is the largest fire tornado in Calif. history and perhaps the strongest ever recorded.
Could the WTB&TS 'spin' this as part of the last days?
