A story comes up my mind:
My family had moved hundreds of kilometers because of my job and we joined a new congregation. I was a MS back then.
Only a few months after us, another couple had moved in. He was an Elder and both were pioneers in the past. It happened that we were all in the same CBS.
I was surprised when a sister of our CBS approached us and the rest of the congregation in the KH to sign a welcome card for the couple which said: "We are so happy to have you with us". I said (half-kidding): "Hey, I will not sign this before I got mine."
She replied I should not be so sensitive.
We never got anything. Hurt my wife more than me. When we moved away after five years my wife told me that she never felt welcome there.
We again moved far away and have not set our foot into a KH again.

I wondered if this thread would turn out to be "fluff" but there seem to be some intersting stories behind the pictures.

RONALD REGAN IS DEAD
by Mary in.
just heard this on the news...........he was 93.. i know what it's like to lose a family member to alzheimers.
it's strange, we wouldn't let our pets suffer like this, but it's expected that humans suffer right to the very end.

The 1984 quote was: ""My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

I remember him for almost starting WW III when making a joke about attacking the USSR when he was on air and did not know. :-O

He was the co-editor and gave a lot of money to the project. So far about stealing. I think it was also his property.

If you use a real picture of you: what was the reason that it was made? -
