the scoop of humanity at one khall, the anointed ones" were a mixed group.. one bro, h. had been in for eons.
he was df for adultery, back in the day when they would announce your sin openly from the platform to everyone.
he just kept on coming and partaking until he was reinstated.
I have only personally encountered 2 "annointed". One was the C.O., Bro. Freedman. 'nuff said.
The other, in the hall I go to now, was a very sweet old lady. I think she was getting a touch of dementia as the years wore on. Her son, who she lived with, is an MS in the cong. She has since moved to Texas to live with her other son.
if you where a brave little witness soldier, or even a pioneer (gasp), you must have seen a lot of strange shit.
the probability of encountering "interesting" people or getting yourself into weird situations is pretty high.. i'll start.
i have to get them together, but today i remembered this ones:.

*experience about meeting "doc brown" and his many names of God.*
Reminds me of this one encounter with some wierd homeless guy while doing street work. He took the Watchtower, flipped it upside down, and was trying to tell us about some "hidden code" contained in the name "The Watchtower - Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom" - something where each letter had a meaning and you had to turn some upside down and all kinds of insanity.
ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.
the theory of major evolution is crap!
the theory is falling apart.

Who created Physics and in an earlier post someone showed a graft of a color changing to another, who created colors, again too many holes in your arguments. Radio waves, light waves, radar waves, sound waves, gravity, water, air, gases, etc. ????? Too many holes.

Crazy, yip too many holes. Check your mail.
What does physics have to do with biological evolution? There are plenty of books about physics too. People have continually directed both of you to accurate scientific information that you refuse to read, instead choosing to recite the same tired creationist dogma that has been debunked ages ago.
Its such a shame. There's a whole wonderful, amazing world of knowledge and discovery out there that you're cutting yourself off from.
Guess its true: You can lead a fool to knowledge, but you can't make 'em think.
I'm done here. No, for realsies this time.
I can't tell people what to do but, honestly, I would stop responding to these 2. It is now painfully obvious that they don't WANT to learn.

The occaisional guy coming to the door or checking to see why the dog was barking in their underwear.
Ah, that reminds me. I actually used to have a call that I couldn't take sisters to. An old guy who lived by himself. Never invited us in, as his house was full of junk (I think he was a bit of a hoarder). Anyhow, he had diabetes (the kind where you have to jab yourself) and, since he lived by himself, he never bothered with pants. He was always running about in his skivvies.

Oh, lessee....
Well I was once in serve-us in some tract campaign or orther and went to a door. I noticed that the handle on the screen door was a bit loose when I opened it to knock on the door. Sure enough, when there was no answer and I opend the screen door again to put the tract in the door, the handle came off in my hand. As I gently set it down and tried to walk off quietly, the lady comes to the door. She was pretty cool about it, though. Apparently it had been loose for a while.
On another occasion, I believe on some other campaign, I was in more rural territory. I pulled into something that looked like it might be a driveway. Suddenly, an old pickup with some menacing looking good ol' boys materalized from nowhere. They demanded to know what I was doing pulling in there. I explained and they curtly informed me that there were no houses there and I should turn around and leave. As they were a rather ruffian-esque bunch, I decided compliance would be in the best interest of my continued good health and took my leave. I suspect they probably had some "special crops" in the area.
I'm sure I'll think of more later.
there is rumors that in this years dc nwt will be released and also new tracts.
any other rumors about new releases?.
Wow--just recycled info, all of it.
Yea, they're getting pretty lazy. The "new" book and the "new" brochure for pre-schoolers are just compilations of articles that have already been in the ragazines. "New" tracts and brochure for Jews - revisions of old versions of same. "New" DVD - 3rd rate "actors" redoing the '09 drama.
Trying to remember last year's - I think it was mostly recycled cruft as well. The 'ol FDS is getting lazy up there. - "Just take a feature from the WT and slap it into a book". Though, I guess they've done that as far back as "Greatest Man" and "Young People Ask"

beverly wright walked with a cane, slowly, avoiding uneven ground on wednesday morning as she went door-to-door on north delaware avenue inviting people to an upcoming jehovah's witnesses convention.. a week ago she had what she hopes will be her last of five skin grafts to repair wounds she received march 19 when a pit bull mauled her so badly that doctors told her she might lose her leg.. wright, 43, could have escaped injury that tuesday morning when an 80-pound pit bull burst through the front door of a house in the 200 block of n. lewis place and attacked her ministry companion and longtime friend, irene parker, 78.. but it never occurred to her not to help her friend.. both women were severely injured in the attack.
would it have even been news if it were a doberman
With injuries that extensive? I would think so. Besides, I think it was less about the dog, and more about how this poor old lady just couldn't wait to get back out in serve-us.
BTW, I do hate seeing any one breed singled out. A vicious dog is a vicious dog. Nonetheless:
did the attentive sentry get the death pennelty
Really? This dog nearly KILLED a woman. That's far beyond "attentive sentry". Dude. I'm big into animal rights. I'm even a card-carrying member of PETA. But I will say right now that if a dog attacks me, that's the last thing it will do.

More needless pain and suffering inflicted by WTBT$.
Also, some lady being interviewed today at the Columbia, SC convention was apparently recently attacked by a dog while in serve-us. Must be an epidemic going around.

Y'know QC, the way you keep on, one might begin to suspect you:
A) Are Meyer
or
B) Work for Meyer and/or his publisher.
once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.
he named each song after a person in our family.
this is the one he named heather.

For some reason I find inspiration in songs about people trying to escape oppression. Wonder why that would be.....
