good day everyone.
i don't post on here very often, if at all.
used to pepper this site quite a bit 8-10 years ago.
I have contacted acouple of old friiends just to say hello and find out if they were still active in JW's.
One was not, two others were and when my status came out they got off the phone quick and cold.
The internet search capabilities of today make it easier to dig up past aquaintences. The tough ones to find are the ones with names like Richard Jones, etc.
wow, where does the time go?
i'm scared of reaching this number, and yet i'm so close.. what is your health secrets?
what do you do for stress releif?
I'm only 7 yrs from 60.
i hated peas.
my mom would say, "the kids in china are starving.
eat your peas.
Growing up we pretty much lived the vegetarian menu. My Dad quit meat and mom cooked to please him. It worked out pretty good because we were poor as church mice. Beans, greens and cornbread. If you are hungry, as most growing children are, you eat what's there.
peacefully after a short bout with leukemia.
she was 88 years old and the foundation of my life.
she will be sadly missed by me and everyone whose lives she has touched.. .
She will always live in your memories and she will be brought to mind everyday by the smallest little things.
I am 67 and lost my beloved grandparents decades ago. I still have them visit my dreams as well as waking thoughts.
Condolences
wow, just reported that paris was rushed to the hospital with slit wrists.. i normally have a lot to say but this one is a very sad situation.. rub a dub.
She is already facing an uphill battle. Attempting to check out at such a young age is a sign that something has been damaged in her. In the crazy Jackson world....

elders are supposed to call on do not calls once a year to get their ass chewed on by the householder.
why does the borg make them do this?
humiliate them and make them more loyal?.
LHG - The religion likes to call at certain intervals because new owners may live there.
Good point. They can't afford to have the bloodguilt for some poor schmuck who just moved into new quarters.
reminds me of when rescuers spray paint a big red "X" on destroyed homes so nobody wastes their time looking for survivors. Infants don't count. Toast 'em !
washington -- a narrowly divided supreme court ruled monday that police can collect dna from people arrested but not yet convicted of serious crimes, a tool that more than half the states already use to help crack unsolved crimes.. this dna sample will of course go into a huge database similar to fingerprints.. .
I read Joseph Wambaugh's "The Blooding..." (1989) a true story about solving the murders of 2 schoolgirls in the UK through the emerging DNA science.
I have my newborn footprints on my birth certificate, (1945? that can't be right!) I have been fingerprinted and photo ID'd for getting a liqour license and for a visitors badge to the county jail when I was "clergy" .
I think gathering DNA is way overdue as a tool for law enforcement.
In the words of Maury Povich "Willy,.......you ARE the father!"

I am learning something here. I know that I am on a do not call list because I told the last two JW's (after a conversation with probing questions from me) that I was a former elder and was DF'd for apostasy. This was three years ago. No further calls. I see them in the neighborhood but they don't stop in to say hi at my house.
Surely known apostates are a separate category.

There would have to be a chain of evidence from the crime scene evidence, hair, blood, semen, etc. that would match a certain persons DNA in the archive. It would be pretty difficult for a dishonest prosecutor to plant later.
A rapist would have to leave some DNA from another person. Ithink there was a book and movie about a wife who secretly saved her husbands semen and then planted it on another woman after she killed her.
