TOP THIS for a speeding ticket...
by zeroday intwo california highway patrol officers were conducting speeding enforcement on i-15 north of the marines air station miramar.
one of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching near the crest of a hill.. the officers were suddenly suprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour.
the officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and turned off.. just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked onto a usmc f/a-18 hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.. back at the chp headquarters the patrol captain fired off a complaint to the usmc base commander.. back came a reply in true usmc style: thank you for the message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident.

No one has brought up "Theocratic Warfare" where it is OK to lie for theocratic reasons. I'd apply this here, and tell her you'd respect her wishes in order that you would become her emergency contact. If it's alright for the goose, it should be alright for the gander!

For what it's worth, the KJV equivalent of this verse has "...or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days"

Low 80s and it's SUPPOSE to be winter. I wish the housing market was better so we could sell and move back north. Yes, winters get long but I say I can always add more clothes, there's a limit to how much I can legally take off when it gets warm. And when it's 80s and 90s buck naked would still be HOT! (Moved to the south for family reasons, those reasons no longer are valid.)

Had pretty well faded, but was looking to find out what book was released at the last convention. Searching for it brought me here, where I learned much more than I was looking for.

MIA - Welcome to the forum.
I agree with those who say not to bother with a letter. Why should you spend the time on a meaningless piece of paper? Like you, I was the only one in my family that became a Witness. I merely stopped going. There was a half-hearted attempt to 'match' me with a pioneer sister that would be a help to me to get back to meetings (part of a get-them-back-in program). I haven't heard from her for a couple of months. There were a couple of door calls by those who had no idea who I was. I simply gave the not interested remark. Maybe I'll have the courage to anti-witness at some later date, but that doesn't sound like the person I am.
Bottom line - I'm not going to meetings and I'm not being bothered. I'd only send a letter if it was therapeutic for me, but not for any other reason.
