Thankfully, in my work, there are still devotees. Dwindling business but people love them.

23The long road of the VW Bus coming to an end
by designs ini didn't even realize the vw bus was still in production but vw in brazil still produces the iconic bus, production will end in december.. many of us had vw buses, surf wagons et al, i had a 1959 'camper' special we would take on surfing trips to baja california and camp on the beaches down by san quentin.. i took my 'magic bus ride' with four jw buddies just before my arrest over the vietnam draft.
we rode up the california coast to big sur.
with the side door open and feet hanging out we traveled the coastal route from los angeles through santa barbara, pismo beach, san simeon, big sur and monterey ending in san francisco where i hopped a flight back to los angeles for my arraignment.. enjoy-.

It warmed my heart a few months ago to see a whole line of air-cooled buses and bugs lined up along PCH by Zuma. Overlapping surfing generations still using the iconic vehicles.

WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!
by JW GoneBad injws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.
at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.
an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

I talked to a bro this week who told me about the request for more money for new KH's and assembly halls. I didn't think to ask him more. We've had this type of thing several times around here. I told him it was a scam. I asked him if he thought they needed more KH's and assembly halls. It told him to google Menlo Park.

Does it show a deplorable lack of faith to have a bucket list?
by compound complex inas a baby boomer making the best of every day, i have a casual list of things i want to do before i, well .
we all know about the promises made, and, gee whiz, i want to be a good and faithful boy.
but i'm beginning to wonder if i should buy a few more baskets to put my eggs in.

Lack of faith in what?
Dearest Coco, a life should be lived...and in the way of your choosing. There are so many things to learn about or do...near and far, cheap and expensive. As JW's we were taught to push down any desire of anything other than "the truth." It's normal, it's human to desire experience in our life around us.
Go make your list!

Dateline about FLDS Warren Jeffs tonight
by ShirleyW inwithin the first two minutes when the word "apostate" was mentioned i said "gee, i think i'm being reminded of something here", show hasn't been on for a half hour yet and i already heard so many similarities.
i wonder how many dubs are watching tonight and doing the usual, "can you believe such a group exists?
how extremely blind they are, or to be fair i guess i should say brianwashed.

I missed what Gregorio said about the title of the mags when he was talking about it. It was on purpose, don't really call that a blunder. We all knew what they were and no one had an issue with it.
There were no doctrinal issues discussed in the video, so no "other blunders."
Probably about 100 were there.
The director has limited funds, but there are future plans for the movie and its marketing. It is very well done and that cost money that they need to recoup. I'm sure they will. It's quality and I think it will have legs.

Welcome KWJoe! Wonderful to meet you and kudos for your choices and success your life. When you are in it, sometimes it seems impossible to change. I wish I knew then what I know now, that it can be done and you will survive...you have to "Just Do It!" Life goes on...relationships change...but you have the peace of mind of being the person you should be.
Love Key West...gorgeous.
