if jwd takes a weekend off and you can't find anything else interesting on the internet, you might be a jwd addict.
I had major JWD withdrawl, I am definitely a addict.
It was rainy here all weekend so I was stuck inside and nothing fun to do on the computer.
I have to admit I had visions that the Watchtower had sent in hackers to sabotage JWD.
Thank goodness its back!!!!!

last night my car was broken into, window smashed, bunch of stuff stolen, including my purse with my id.
the police said they had a ton of break ins in this area and another neighbourhood last night, it was unbelievable the number!
now i have to go to the license office and see if i can get my license replaced with what id i have here still - i've rounded up everything i can that has my name on it, tax bill, credit card, bank card, credit card bill, i even got out my life insurance papers lol .
OMG BB thats terrible.
Sorry to hear that happened to you, its NOT fair to ruin a persons weekend like that.
I had something like that happen once and it was so upsetting, took me weeks to get everything replaced. Plus its Saturday and nothing open to start replacing things.

i recall reading long ago (so long ago i don't recall where) that someone asked judge rutherford why his office at bethel, brooklyn had an air conditioning unit while the workers in the printing factory below had to work in the heat.. rutherford's answer was that the air conditioning unit was a gift!.
does anyone also recall reading this?.
wouldn't rutherford feel a little guilty about enjoying cool air while the people downstairs were working all day under hot and humid conditions?.
All I can say is that I admire Olin Moyle and his courage to tell the truth. The situation at Bethel was deplorable and almost unbelievable. I was stunned to hear about the alcohol promotion by Rutherford. I am sure that is very unusual in any organization to be encouraged to drink, in fact you would think it would be the opposite.
Glad to hear Olin sued the Watchtower and won. He is my hero.
thanks for offering this information
As far as airconditioning, I am turning it on today for the first time. Its hot and humid. Not complaining though, its been so cold this spring.

that is a very INTERESTING letter. Forgive my ignorance but what happened to Brother Moyle after that letter. I can imagine that he was probably disfellowshipped
Rutherford did not sound like a very nice person. I would think if the rank and file of the JWs heard these stories they would have to wondeer about the origins of this religion.

i haven't needed to take my ptsd meds.. i've quit drinking altogether.. i stopped drinking coffee (just decaf).
i'm eating a lot healthier.
i just feel a lot more calm and so much happier its not even funny.... i know that i've had to stop taking my meds a lot because i haven't had to deal with them, not sure if the other things have anything to do with it or not... i just think it's a bit sad that i feel so much happier with them out of my life... i feel like i can grow as a person so much more.
Cognac I am so happy you are feeling so much better Stress is not a good thing and your situation was stressful.
Hugs from Velvetann
has anyone tried it?
if so for what ailment and how effective was it?
INTERESTING THREAD. I HAVE MS AND HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS OPTION. ITS LEGAL HERE IN ONTARIO, CANADA.
Dogisgod Thanks for sharing that info about your ex boyfriend. I am considering asking about medical marijuana but not sure how it helps.
My MS plus disc degeneration which causes a lot of PAIN. Nothing seems to help and the doctors won't give me narcotic pain killers.
I find it interesting that there is a pill form of it called Meridol. I don't know how to smoke, I hate the smell of smoke and the burning in your throat and lungs.
I certainly don't want to take it if it makes you have the Munchies. I don't want to gain weight.

Casper our circuit assemblies had a table aside from the cafeteria Line that offered, snack foods, like sandwiches, potato chips, pizza, icecream etc, usually in the same area as the cafeteria but not as crowded and no line ups usually/ I opted for these when I was a teenager. That was in Ontario Canada. Everything changed not long after I left the Borg.

I do remember the Hot meals at the DA and the CA.
My Dad was usually the Cafeteria Servant at the CC (thats what they called it then). He was a perfectionist and also a good cook so he thought up great menus. I remember lining up with the stainless steel tray and having someone behind the table plopping potatos in one slot and another person plopping meat in another slot and veggies in another slot etc. I hated lining up, it took forever and you couldn't socialize, but the food was good. I also remember not being able to find a place to sit at to eat it. Everyone liked to sit and socialize while eating and didn't vacate right after eating. You had to get there early to have a place to sit and eat.
I remember at the District Assemblies way back when I was 10 or something we had to stand to eat and put our trays on long high tables under tent like tarps outside.
I also remember the long lineups in the womens washroom at Yankee Stadium one year and some of the other bigger venues. I was 10 and I was nearly bursting and there was at least 50 women in front of my Mom and I. I was about to pee my pants and I was in pain and my Mom said it wasn't nice to complain and that I would just have to wait and suffer. Fortunately a kindly sister saw my dilemma, had pity for me and insisted upon letting me in ahead of the others. My mom was mad at me.
As a youngster and a teenager I found the snack tables the highlight of the assembly ;-) Great things like potato chips, sandwiches, pizza, all kinds of goodies I wasn't allowed generally but could have at assemblies. I remember my DAD never got to sit down and listen to the sessions because he was so busy in the kitchen. My Mom used to take shorthand and write it all out for him and later she recorded it with this Big old thing she set up near the platform LOL, those were the days.
I heard about the cold food and the picnics on your lap thing more recently from my Mom. That is not fun.
