Oh my....how times have changed. I resurrected this old thread, found it looking for something else. I now have 60 mg, wish I had more. I am jealous of those who have gigabit fiber service.

60 MB Broadband (cable) Internet...do we really need it that fast?
by SnakesInTheTower inthrough work, i received a copy of a news release from the local cable company.
that cable company is headed to bankruptcy but until then business as usual.
(kinda like the illinois governor...just keeps going even though doomed).. my question is...do residential customers really need internet to be that fast?

Go Bags, Safe houses and cartoon of two kids.
by scruffmcbuff ini have been out a good 10+ years and until recently didnt pay much attention to what the jehovahs are up to.. why have they taken this turn with the bunker videos and making all the brainwashed people like my parents pack a go bag.
now let me just clarify.
im a military man i believe everyone should have an element of preparedness canned goods,bottled water and a bug out bag is a great addition ( ill stop waffling on about that now).. but what concerns me is the fact they are advising elderly people to bug out.

Elder's phone numbers? Hell try calling them NOW for a Shepherding Call (tm), see how quickly they respond.
Most of my fellow elders couldn't be bothered to help those in need, the elderly, sick, single moms....unless they could reciprocate. There were good men that were exceptions, but they burned out and quit.
Another reason I am glad I am not part of that madness now.

No new releases? How are the r&f taking this?
by purrpurr inis it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?
if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?
surely they must have noticed the absence?

I went to the international in 06 in Hamburg Germany. Instead of reinvigorating me, it had the opposite effect.
I was emotionally and physically drained. Took a year to pay off that credit card.
I left the Borg in 07.
I see 12 years later Jehoober's Chariot lumbers on.

Maybe have a spare handbag with a few bucks and other odds and ends to toss at a hijacker. All they want is money. Hide the real deal.
This always concerns me. I am a medical courier and sometimes am in bad areas...East St. Louis, IL, parts of north St. Louis Mo, city and county. But even in so called better areas I drive, there have been carjackings.
Reminds me I shouldn't just jump out and leave the car open.

Accounts report at Circuit Assemblies to go away
by LevelThePlayingField ini was at the regional convention and asked an elder why is that at the assemblies their is an accounts report but not at the conventions?
he said, well actually they got a letter and in it said that in a little while they will do away with the accounts report stating how much the assembly costs for the weekend and just go to donation basis like at the conventions.. my first thought was, "they will donate even less now.".
anybody else hear about such a thing?.

It was like watching a car wreck, which I seen today. You know you shouldn't, but you keep on watching.
Yes, I speed read the whole thing. I had read an older version while attending (the now defunct) MTS in 2002. I had forgotten how nitpicky it was. Some of the newer things on videos, etc. was interesting. I see they are desperate to get younger talent involved as the old timers age out.
I do not miss it one bit.

I still like the idea of renting space on digital billboards near an en route to convention sites along interstates. Messages like above or pointing to jwfacts, etc. Simple and to the point messages.
Of course, the GB is telling the Sheeple to ignore the media.
