  WT cautions against playing pac-man 1982 Awake

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower

  with bizarre names like pac-man, asteroids, space invaders, battlezone and donkey kong, video games have landed themselves not only in amusement arcades but also in corner drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, fast-food parlors and nearly everywhere else that people congregate.

  their beeps and booms and colorful lights have captured the fancy and imagination of a new generation of players to the point of obsession.. other than the obvious appeal to teenagers and its commercial success, the proliferation of arcade video games has triggered reactions ranging from strong parental protests to outright government bans.

  in the philippines, president marcos officially banned the games and gave owners two weeks to destroy them.

  Also, it should be noted, as has been done on many, many websites.... in the "new paradise on earth", it says that we will not require food to sustain us.

  For realzies? I don't remember seeing that...got a link for me?

  If it is really the case that they won't need food to sustain them, then how do they explain the feast pictures? Is eating just a hobby or something??

  Interesting name, Asymptote...they can be approached, but never touched. Vertical ones, at least. Horizontal ones are a different matter.

  No Shorts and T-Shirts After Convention - Remember?

  by mentallyfree31 in

  does everyone remember a few years back, when the km directed that nobody should wear shorts after the convention while out and about?

  i don't have the reference, but i remember a brother in our hall made a comment that night at the meeting while it was being discussed.

  he was a very poor brother, with 3 children.

  Oh yeah, I remember. The DC was always in my backyard, so whenever I got the chance, I'd get home and change out of my suit (drenched with sweat thanks to the heat) and into something more comfortable. The nasty looks would never be far behind.

  You ever drive to the meeting, or field service meeting point, and do a U-Turn and go back home?

  i did this today.

  last night, the pretty little weather girl stated there would "be heavy rain marked by occasional thunderstorms.

  " i thought to myself, great, hopefully its so bad when i awaken, anybody originally planning on going out, will just stay home.

  I think I did that one time. I can remember being hassled about getting up too late, being hassled to go out, missing the grouping, and I just decided to go home that day. There was a concerned call from my grandpa about it, but nothing came of it. It felt so good to miss out on that nonsense.

  when in field service, was there any stupid rules that had to be followed?

  by rockmehardplace in

  i was reading the topic on sisters having to sit in the backseat even if it was their car.

  made me think of a few rules i was subjected to.

  one was we were not allowed to have a radio on.

  I can't remember any overarching rules, but I can remember having to vary my behavior based upon who was my partner. Some dubs had a real issue with saying anything before the householder opened the door. Some were really uptight about territories with overhead power lines. Leading groups out as an MS was like "dodge the neurosis" sometimes. The greatest FS experience I had was having to lead a Sunday afternoon group, and no one showed up. I was ecstatic.
