If you're going to do something like this, at least say things that might get people to do some research or look something up. Talking about Jesus scriptures and him being God will do absolutely nothing. Talking about sexual coverups, Geoffrey Jackson saying it would be presumptuous to call the governing body God's mouthpiece, etc. Things that may just roll in their minds and make them look it up online.

I left my live in partner for 18yrs for her and my kids. It just felt unfair.
You left your partner/wife AND your kids. Then this person you left your kids for leaves you and that's unfair? That sounds like poetic justice to me! You'll have no sympathy from me.

Other than returning alone, what prevents from befriending families who trust him as a man of God, and even far down the road with that trust end up alone w/ their kid?

Racial Bias in Policing
by Coded Logic inthe us justice department just released findings from their investigation of the baltimore police department.
as 40% of the force is comprised of black officers some thought they'd be "immune" to racial bias.
it turns out black cops can be just as racist - if not more racist - against black people than white cops.

“These and similar arrests identified by our investigation reflect BPD officers exercising nearly unfettered discretion to criminalize the act of standing on public sidewalks.”
That is BS. Were they charged with anything? If not then it's not criminalized. But when there is a drug and murder epidemic and the dealers like to loiter in certain areas, then the law abiding citizens who want to put an end to that will appreciate the proactive measures. I used to sell security systems, drove all over several states from living in a few with that job, and been in every type of neighborhood imaginable. City, rural, inner city, white, black, etc. In all cases I was never approached if in my car on the side of the road (usually checking my maps for the next route or getting paperwork ready, etc). But EVERYTIME I would be on the side of the road in certain neighborhoods, I was always approached by somebody within a minute or so looking to sell. It didn't matter what street I was on. It would be one thing if this was happening everywhere and anywhere, but those reports specially even admitted in high drug and high crime areas. I think Baltimore residents will prefer that then what they have happening now.

Funny coded logic, the things I mentioned as a reason, an area with a drug problem and high crime, and those are the reasons.
Also what you posted is not a form and it's a screenshot of somebody rewording things. Let's see what page 28 in the original form says....Further more if your screenshot is supposed to be proof that black male is prefilled in and can't be changed meaning it's on all of them, then so is officer "John Doe".
So this person is loitering in a known area for selling/buying drugs. The officer asks him what he is doing there, etc, no answer, no id, etc, so he brings him in to verify who he is and if any warrants, etc. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Either you want police to help reduce crime, so cities like Baltimore don't turn into the 2nd worst in the entire USA for violent crime and drugs or you pretend that there are no problems and tell them to back off (and then it becomes the 2nd highest crime in the USA).
Why does America even have a military? How many civilians have died in Iraq, Afganistan, and any country USA soldiers have fought to defend the country from terrorists who killed just a couple hundred/thousand people. Those civilian casualties are acceptable but somebodies hurt feelings or not being politically correct by taking them in for identification when they didn't cooperate and then safely releasing them, those hard feelings are not acceptable to help combat the thousands of murders in the USA every year?

Trolley cart "witnessing" is getting ridiculous
by oppostate ini really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .
is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.

Now that the publishing is no longer a viable business, they conveniently switch to a useless, non effective, "preaching" work.
Good point. They don't want to pay to print more literature. They don't want to have real 'bible studies' actually using the bible itself conducted.

Smart man. He can just leave his cart anywhere and go fishing, camping, etc, and "count his time". In fact somebody can leave a cart 24/7 at places and say they got 744 hours at the end of the month.

Just saw this story. THIS is the true solution. These men have taken control of their lives, identified what they needed to do to be successful, and they are trying to bring change to their community. Change from within is the true solution. Government trying to babysit and fix everything won't ever be nearly as effective.

The template provides a blueprint for arresting an individual standing on or near a public housing development who cannot give a “valid reason” for being there—a facially unconstitutional detention.
Public housing developments are still private property for those who live there and work there. If the area has a drug and crime epidemic, and it's common for somebody to 'stand around' to deal business, or case for theft opportunities, then if they don't live there, and can't give a reason for being there, (visiting family/friends) then probably up to no good. Do random people just hang out in your backyard? Now if it's a public park or area for the public to just hang out, then that would be a different story.

When I was still active, my mother was dfed for a time being. I didn't live w/ her and she was lonely and we met up every week to see a movie or something. She said she isn't supposed to really be around me and I told her in jw friendly words to f$$# that rule and the gb's teaching on that, I didn't agree with it and wouldn't follow it. I wish I got out by then but was still under the "Jehovah will fix it later" opinion.
