i was baptized at the 1976 "sacret secret" dc at inglewood ca there must have been 50,000 people there..

Oxnard, CA, 1968. Ted Jaracz gave the talk at the Civic Center Auditorium. Dunked in a motel pool. Everybody was doing it, I didn't want to. Parents were worried I was going be "destroyed" if not baptized. Lovely thought.

The long road of the VW Bus coming to an end

by designs in

i 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-.

Nice Glander. When I was a teen, EVERYBODY had bugs, beetles and buses except me. I had the Ford Cortina. People love their VW's.

I remember driving J Steele's bug while he was on a trip. I was stopped by a cop on Westminster Blvd. He asked me if I knew how fast I was driving. I said, "no." He said I was driving 65 in a 40. I told him I didn't even think it could go that fast.

We have a salesman here who handles Mexico accounts and had the buyer special order pink wire sets. Now, everybody is buying pink and lime green wire sets. We didn't see that one coming.

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

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 in

jws 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 in

as 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!
