Convention Apostatizing Brings Gestapo Response
by outnfree inmy flyers merely said: if as a jehovahs witness, a member of your family has been molested information is available for further information see: www.silentlambs.org or call 1-877-wtabuse.. nothing overtly inflammatory, actually more like a public service announcement.. i guess thats what most of the local organizers and friends thought in my neck of the, woods for the first two days of the district convention!
but once the 'friends' realized that the website i was promoting with my flyers and moving car billboard was not an approved wt site, the powers that be got ... well ... pissed is the word!.
nobody bothered me on friday as i went smiling about my posting flyers on the light and utility poles on the routes to/from the convention site.

Bendrr,
I believe I attended Shiela's wedding, as I remember she married a highschool sweetheart? And I do recall the guy was not a real prize to say the least. She was a really nice girl, with so much to offer. Unbelievable as it may seem, I remember her showing me her highschool yearbook, a whole section of pictures was devoted to those (highschool!) couple already engaged, even before reaching senior year. That was the custom of the day. Family and child-rearing was what the girl's were taught, as their ultimate destiny.
I did date a college girl from the area (a witness), even though she was a total knock-out, a keeper, I of course being the company-man that I was, had to listen to all the advice relating to anyone seeking higher education blah blah blah. So never will know where that might of gone.
So sorry to hear about Drexel's arm. Was it a tractor accident, harvester?
McCrainies lived across the road from the Weeks. I remember Janice she was a living clone of Barbra Mandrell as I recall it. Did you know the McCranies?
Fun recalling those days. Thanks Bendrr.

Bendrr,
Do I remember Drexel Weeks? The world is truly a small place. I spent many days on his farm, helping tend the hogs. The whole Week's clan was very kind to all of us young Calif. types, they were very patient with us, they laughed alot about our various faupaux's as respects 'black vs white' at the time. One of the first funny things was when I visited the Eastman dry cleaner's. I simply walked in the door with my arms full of clothes and plopped them on the counter. The lady didn't even speak to me, she kept waving her arms and pointing to the partition wall. I stood there like a big dummy not understanding what she was trying to tell me. Finally she got so frustrated with me, she said. "Mr. this here is the 'colored' side of the cleaner's, you need to go around the other side." My first experience with total segregation. Of course at that time even the congregations were segregated. A very interesting time and place.
Do you know how Drexel and family are doing? I knew most all the friends in Eastman, Mcrae, I think that I used to go quail hunting with a brother from McRae, I can't remember his name. One of the brother's there was a former gospel singer. He could really belt out the songs.
Have to go fix dinner for my lady.

Hello Joel,
Had to pull out my Atlas to jog my memory a little. Most of the time we worked in central Ga. When the District Convention was held in Savannah, we moved into a brother's home, his name escapes me now, but he was a big fencing contractor there. It was a young single pioneer's dream, he had a beautiful single daughter, that all of us California guys fell in love with. Seems as though in those days, the Ga. 'peaches' really were, almost from birth, taught that they were to really take care of their man, please him with food and look good all at the same time. He Ha...I just loved those southern gals! What friendly and gracious people, at that time anyway. I suppose things have changed some.
Several of my pioneer partners, were called up to Bethel during the construction of the Farm's. In fact out of the six of us, only my best buddy at the time and I were left. I did go up to New York several times to visit Bethel and spent some time out at the farm.
I don't recall the names you mentioned. Do you remember the Powell's they were former Co couple, who were to old to continue, he settled in Eastman and lived in a house trailor behind the KH. What a character this ole guy was. Bombastic and said the funniest and sometime most ridiculous things from the platform. But everyone just laughed and he got away with it.
So many stories and believe it or not. I wouldn't trade the experiences I gained there. Even though I was under cult control, somehow those days still bring back fond memories.
Regards Joel.

Hello Bendr,
Noticed you are from middle Ga. Just wanted to say, back in 65-67 I pioneered in Eastman Ga., gave talks all over from Savanah east. I still remember fondly the 'southern hospitality' enjoyed while there.
Never have had better 'ice tea' or corn bread since I left.

The problem is Uncle we simply do not get enough of your crap!
Btw cheeky one, it no longer is an issure of 'who said what to whom' it is a very different issue. If we can come to some sort of conclusion on the ISSUE, this place may have a chance of returning to its former more 'peaceful self'. I could be wrong, won't be the first or last time either.

Uncle Coolman,
Prices sound very similar to the US...perhaps a tad higher here. Are you still able to purchase R-12...with all the inviro laws, if you have a vehicle over apprx 8yrs old, you have to pay close to $70.00 a pound here. All the newer vehicles are equiped with a more ozone friendly R134a system (less expensive) but will not work with the seals and fittings for R12.
Your braver man than I, to tackel the job. You may already have some condensor pressure guages, and meters...so go for it.
Glad everyone is well. Next time we talk, want a full report on the progress of the 'tea room' and the 'gold mine adventure tours'. I will gladly pay a fee. Someone told me it costs $40.00 to get into Disneyland now...UncleBrucie's World here we come.

Somebody,
I always knew you were more than a pretty face. heHa
Iam very fortunate to have a mate who seems to agree (qualified) for the most part. Sometimes she will look over at me, with just the right glint in her eye's (we have been together for 18yrs) and without a word, I cave, 'go ahead punkin, turn the thermo up'. She can tame this big bear, with only a look.
Hey somebody ditto on the fan's, when we were in the process of building our house, we made sure ceiling fan's were in the bedrooms, office and family room! Of course the utility bill will sink a ship, but were 'cool man cool'.
Glad to know another 'cool one'...of course I already had decided that about you Somebody.
Man Iam enjoying these plesantries, kinda got sidetracked for aheemmmm awhile, if you know what I mean.

Cheekyman,
You barstool you...yes the 'El Rancho De Uno Robles' is still getting shade from the one and only tree. Unfortunately the temperature guage I have hanging in it, reads 98 at 6:25pm. Anyone comes over to the 'bears den' knows if the temp is over 70 the air conditioning is blowin. I don't know if you get the David Letterman show in Oz, but he is notorious for keeping his set very cool. I really laugh because many times visitor's here ask for a sweater or coat...in the dead of summer. He Ha...another reason for my chosen handel.
Bronco is sick and being diagnosed as we speak...after 192,000 miles I may have to go out and buy myself a new truck this week. I will still keep my 4x4..she's my truck (trying to sound lowbrow, is it working?).
Doing fine Unc hope you and the girls are as well.
