I would love to have a "pop-in". I have been out since 1995, and I have yet to have an elder visit or even a regular FS call. I moved last year to a rural area with no gates or other restrictions to access, and I still have yet to see anyone door to door. When I was in, we were covering the territory monthly, so I am at a loss as to why I haven't seen anyone in the last 18 years! It would just be interesting to see if sheparding or D2D techniques have changed since I was leading the charge. Based on other's experiences here, maybe I have been blessed!

The "Pop-In"
by Mr. Falcon inso last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.
doorbell rings.
now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

Why has the WT not tried to shut down this board?
by hamsterbait inwe all know that beth hell monitors this site.. they have repeatedly had sites shut down for quoting large portions of their litterature.
not this one.. do you think this board enables them to keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on in ex and aposto land?

It is easier to "go after" boards that use quotes or publish excerpts from literature directly. The things posted here are "second hand" editorial, and thus not directly attributable to the site. It is no different than the typical "letter to the editor". I am sure the folks in NY would love to shut it down, but a little thing called the Constitution prevents them from doing so.

Tylin...was he an elder at the KH that was right off the 101 north of Carp? I have former friends that attend there, and they have kids...I wonder if his activities were known to the congregation there? Bet they would be freaking out!...

For a believer or seeker, some of the "purest" Christian teaching, Chuck Swindoll seems the most sincere and focused on the Gospel message...very low key and kind.
If you aren't a believer, they probably all sound "off key" and false!

Who or what is to blame for the Newtown CT shooting?
by BreathoftheIndianNose inif events like the recent school shooting in newtown are to be avoided from here on out, we must understand who or what is to blame.
there is a reason that it happend, maybe it was simple or maybe it was very complex, but this didn't just simply happen.
a series of events transpired that inspired or even just allowed adam lanza to commit this terrible atrocity.

Do first person shooter video games, violent movies or music cause these mass shootings?...no. I do believe that if a person with mental illness, especially "schizophrenia" or personality disorder, is immersed in the violent culture of any of these types of media, they could possibly be triggered to cross the line between fantasy and reality. Common sense would indicate that if people with personality disorders can be influenced by "inner" voices, external stimuli could be a culprit as well. Just sayin'...
