I'm in Queens, but Manhattan midtown and upper west side have no power right now, local news stations have tweeted such on their social media. I just hope it stays in Manhattan. Too hot for a menopausal woman to go through tonight without a fan or air conditioner (like they're aren't any women in Manhattan going through the same thing)!!

I have read stories where death row inmates order exotic things, but seldom eat much of it
Of course, like I said in my first post here, how can you really enjoy it when you know it's your last meal??

ShirleyW, no veggies?
I always eat vegetables with dinner, but if it's the last meal, doesn't really matter, no need for roughage or fiber for the next morning !!

As mentioned in my previous post surf and turf would do just fine, a huge lobster and thick cut of the best prime rib

Would you really be able to truly enjoy your last meal on earth?? Wouldn't you be a bit depressed or something knowing it's your last day, that might keep you from enjoying it, I don't think I"d enjoy a 3lb lobster or thick cut of prime rib if I knew in about an hour or so after eating it, my life would be purposely ended.

Has anyone ever been to an assembly with NO baptisms
by Nikki collins injust curious if anyone has ever been to an assembly with zero baptisms.

I remember my mother mentioning that a few times, but the baptism talk was still given, why?? Oh I know, so they wouldn't lose the interested persons who somehow were duped by their study partner to attend the assembly and observe all those who were going to give their lives up to Jehovah, which means in all reality giving your life up to seven old guys in Brooklyn, now Warwick. OOPS, I guess there were a few assemblies where the folks who were studying actually "used the brain that Jehovah gave you" (as my mother always used to say) and realized this cult thing is a total piece of crap!!

Any Dogs Returning to their Vomit Here?
by Solzhenitsyn ini was wondering if any long time jw's that are now pomo's here on the forum now act in a leadership role within another religious organization?.
i do and would enjoy a bit of conversation with this (i assume minority) "sub-culture" of ex-jw's.

I know of one my peers when I was going to the KH who got DFd as fairly young adult, but is not a Seventh Day Adventist, they're almost as bad as the Dubs as don't do this and all that, but as long as she's happy. But I just don't get leaving the Dubs and moving into a religion like that, I've read that some folks who grow up in that religion weren't allowed to listen to music on the radio and some of the girls weren't even allowed to wear pants!

Getting disfellowshipped to marry and return
by confused ini was just wondering if there is any official rules on dealing with this.
a sister in the congregation is planning to divorce her husband who is also a witness so she can marry a different brother in the same hall!
yes this is a huge scandal!

I remember a situation like this way back in the 70's. A pioneer sister and an elder were having an affair, he conducted the watchtower on a Sunday and the letter was read that Thursday at their meeting about the both of them being DFd. They were both married, they got divorced and married and were reinstated.

THe only brother in our cong that was anointed when I was growing up has left da troof, he lives not to far from me now and he said he and his wife realized that things just don't add up to what is actually in the Bible, Those are the same words a brother who was an elder when I was growing up and one of the first to get my dad interested in the da troof also walked away saying just about the same thing the other brother from my cong did, plus the fact they both say the same thing about that 607 stuff, it's a bunch of crap, totally made up, makes no sense whatsoever.

Smiddy - You say you want to tell us about your O.B.E status, but you really thought everybody knew what that stands for? Obviously from the responses, so far nobody is sure what the heck you're talking about!
You just proved one my major peeves on social media, all these abbreviations that everybody is supposed to know!!
