NYC cart people
by lrkr ini recently started working on a project in manhattan- in a very nice neighborhood.
just want to share a few observations on the cart witnesses in this area.. this is an area flush with dinero.
so every respectable non profit is out there hustling for donations.

It won’t be much longer now.
by Tameria2001 ina couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.
well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.
my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.

YOur brother can't keep you from visiting your mother, what I would do to spite him would try to figure out what time he visits your mom and try to get there first and see what he does. You're not a violent person and causing her any harm when you visit, so if your brother complains to the staff you can't visit him because of "religious reasons" they should call the psych unit at the hospital and/or keep an eye on him when he comes for his visits.

I remember Peggy Lee, I remember she even performed in front of the crowds sitting down and hooked up to her oxygen tank. I wonder if her daughter is still alive, I'll look at WIkipedia later and see if they mention her daughter.

The 1975 Generation---are they still around?
by minimus ini was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

I would think so, the teenagers in the congregations back then would be the ones left from that time. I graduated from high school in 1975, so my peers I grew up with who are still in and there are quite a few, are still around from those years, but most of our parents who thought they would be in paradise now have already passed away

We should've already had flying cars, remember The Jetsons? During the World's Fair here in NYC in 1964-1967 where they had a pavillion that looks just like the Jetson House which is still standing by the way on the Fair's grounds, weren't we supposed to be living that way since the early 2000's?
Even Saturday Night Live did a skit in it's first year during the mid-70's called Jeopardy 2000 where everything was "Jetsonesque".

Wait a minute, if he "accidentally" looked at porn that means he saw it for just two or three seconds, like when you accidentally open a restroom door and somebody is already on the toilet in there.
If his parents and praying were needed to help him get over it, my common sense tells me it was not accidental
"yeah dad, I keep accidentally pulling up this man on man website every night for the last couple of months and now I need Jehovah's help to stop" . . . give me a break, that means dad was looking too.

Jehovah's Terrorist?
by TerryWalstrom injehovah’s terrorist?.
(a personal memoir).
john f. kennedy's brother, robert (bobby) was assassinated in 1968 shortly after he won the california democratic presidential primary.

and I grew up in NYC, so if they made the announcement in NY and the assassination happened in LA, I guess they read that letter at all the congregations across the country.
Funny thing is, I was around nine or ten years old at the time, I remember telling my dad who wasn't baptized as of yet " Daddy, guess what? SIrhan Sirhan was a Jehovah's Witness !"

Terry - I remember after the meeting a while after the RFK assassination, during the closing comments they mentioned if anyone knew that Sirhan Sirhan was a JW to contact Bethel, or however it was worded, but I definitely remember them making that announcement.
