i feel like a idiot but what was the respond time?
within 5-7 minutes my street was blocked off, i received.
a call from the police dept.
I think I remember you saying you're in California, so whatever town you're in I'm now sure you're not in Compton.
I remember back in the 70's my aunt's house was broken into so she bought a burglar alarm, when she was away for a few days, if no a whole week it went off non-stop until she returned. Her neighbor called us but we didn't have a key to the house, I guess the police can't break into a house to turn off alarms, but then again like I said this was back in the 70's.
on the local nyc 6pm news a reporter interviewed a guy behind bars for burglary to ask him how they scope out the people/house they hit, this guy just said he even put on a tie and pretended he was a jw while scoping out the place to see what their schedule is, to see if anyone is at home.. have to say smart move on the burglars part, but of course not a smart move at all to break in and take other folks property.

working an area in town with this brother who after knocking on door and finding no one home , he stands behind small tree and has piss on front lawn.fairdinkim.i hope they weren't peeping through binds,but then again better the piss than the shit mags we were going to leave..
Blondie, really? That's the best yet!
Should've rolled them up when she was done and handed them back and said "I don't want this crap in my house"!
two weeks ago while visiting a friend in north carolina, i agreed to go with him to the sunday public talk.
the public talk was about how the witnesses have the direction of angels while going in service.
the speaker told some real doozies and you could hear the "oohs and ahhs" from the audience.
Well the lady did not live in the building and somehow the brothers when they pushed the buzzer for the intercom connected to the the ladies cellphone in a different building and she jsut happened to want a Bible study. I thought the audience was going to start clapping.
Can that even happen? If I'm following this correctly, they pushed a button, the intercom button to get access to one of the individual apts in a bldg but this time when pushing that button a cellphone can be called? I guess with all this modern technology that can be done, but obviously that intercom button rang a cellphone of someone who doesn't even live in the bldg? Really not buying this one, tell the Elders to try again, this sounds just as bogus as the Avon Lady story that was going around when I was growing up in da troof .
this is a true story.
it's about a sister named henriette venema.
she was a very loyal jw.
The show must go on, sad. I remember a brother who was conducting the WT study had a seizure, so he was carried to the back while paramedics were called, someone stepped up to take his place and picked up from the paragraph he left off at, can't waste Jah's precious time!
at the 2016 olympic games in rio de janeiro, brazil, there are reportedly 62 carts with over a thousand brothers/sisters taking shifts and <ehem>working</ehem> the proximity in rio de janeiro from 8 in the morning till 11 at night (8:00 to 23:00), august 5th-21st.. .
such an "olympic" effort!.
Between all the 62 carts, how much literature do you think they all placed in total, I'll say about three or four rags if that
i have argued with several jws who are now being trained to deny the org ever said the end in 75, what is your approach?.
May 1974 Kingdom Ministry
on the 3rd page it mentions how brothers are selling there homes, and says pioneering is a fine way to spend the short time left. I like to share this and a few other quotes from the magazines that say the same thing. I like to mess with the folks with the carts with this and give the specific magazine it's mentioned in the date and page and urge them to look it up after I read the quotes to them. I doubt they bother to look it up though
yesterday, i was feeling very blue.
this is quite unusual for me, as i tend to be quite an upbeat, positive person, so spells of sadness or depression take me by surprise and are a real shock to the system.
you know, i don’t believe in “putting on a face” or pretending to be ok; this “fake it ’til you make it” malarkey has never been something i’ve liked.
I started volunteering two years ago as a reading tutor after saying for years that it's something that I always wanted to do. My first choice was to be a hospital volunteer but you have to get a T-Dap shot and I don't want that so went with my second choice.
can a parent slap or use a "rod of discipline" on their kids?
i know it's politically incorrect and perhaps illegal, but is it a personal decision based upon the scriptures or is it taboo these days?.
They always have, at least when I was growing up.
my wife was playing the "stay loyal" convention that she taped the other day and i noticed the brother said something that wasn't in the outline.
during one of the talks friday on shunning he said "can you imagine if apostates were allowed to stay in the congregations?
the congregations would be a garbage heap instead of the spiritual paradise they are now.
I'm sure there are many apostates still in because they're still doing the double life thing so certain family members won't cut them off, or they're just hanging on until they feel totally comfortable to tell the elders to fuck off.
