  for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.

  the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.

  lol.

  we found some people who were happy to welcome us into their homes, even offering us food and drink.. sometimes, they would flag us down and ask for the magazines, walk miles to the kh meetings, come to our defense if someone got ugly or rude.. now, jw's are either routinely ignored or outright vilified.. no one respects them anymore.. sad.. .

  Aunt Fancy, far from being united in a common bond of love, JW's attitudes vary from place to place. The WT will vigorously deny this, but it is true.

  Hi Flipper, and peace to you and yours.

  I've heard people say that they would join JW's were it not for their foolish blood policy.

  The WT has turned off many a good person!

  I never experienced that, Rub.

  I heard about it from others who thought it was wonderful.

  We're used to intense heat down here, though.

  A minstrel, a troubadour, a bard walked into a bar ...

  Tee hee hee.

  Since maintaining its image of being the one true organization approved by God is of paramount importance to the WT, questioning its teaching is tantamount to challenging God Almighty Himself. It is difficult for JW's to surmount this obstacle to freedom of thought.

  Hi, CoCo.

  I'm feeling especially heartened today.

  My 16 year old g'daughter has a job!

  She's taken an interest in a nice young man and is outside right now "helping" him work on his vehicle.

  I'm giving myself a mental pat on the back ...

  Oh, I almost forgot to mention about the bookstudy in private homes.

  We met at the spotless house of one dear soul; it was like one big happy family.

  She had a nice garden and would glady share her lush collards with all.

  The dear lady has since passed on, she had no offspring, so the house is left empty, desolate, and is beginning to deteriorate.

  Much like the WT.
