Good one - I've been calling them 'shoe sale men' and 'window cleaners' for years :) I'll have to add 'cheese cracker men' to my choice of meaning less BORG titles :)
Peace- LL.

Getting signatures wasn't as bad as I thought. I started working on getting signature for the past couple of nights. I went out with the candidate, shook hands and got signatures. But the real test was this morning (6:00am) at the ferry terminal where thousands of commuters board the ferry. It started out slow, but it picked up by 7:40am. My wife and the other women got double the amount of signatures us males got - Hmmm I wonder why :) I saw a few JDubs in the process, my wife even went up to a few and said hi - Of course they wouldn't dare speak to me.
We passed our goal for the morning and are ahead of schedule. But at times I felt like I was in street work, disturbing people's little personal space before they get to work. Oh well, that's the only way to gather signatures, and the candidate that works the hardest usually wins.
Peace - LL :)

Former Bethelite comes out and shares story
by Dogpatch ini was always a shy kid that desperately wanted to make my parents proud.
at about this same time i started to hang out with some guys that my dad didn?t particularly approve of.
i wonder how my life would have turned out had i stopped at any point between ages 14 and 19 and asked myself who exactly i was doing all this for.

Wow - nice story. I could related to the following:
I was always a shy kid that desperately wanted to make my parents proud. Actually, come to think of it, it didn?t even have to be my parents. I just wanted people to be proud of me?low self-esteem, I guess.
if God sees it fit to kill me, than I will gladly accept his judgment. I would simply rather live happily and freely a few years than a lifetime in slavery
However, I knew I had to do something. I couldn?t in good conscience remain a member of an organization that I see as nothing more than at best misguided and at worst deceitful, destructive and evil.
I feel you, but at least you are still young. I opened my eyes @ 34, not only with the BORG but with everything in life. When you see and live the world 'in color' it's almost impossible to go back to a 'black and white' existence. I'm not too optimistic about your family coming around - But that's the price you pay for freedom. It will all work out.
Peace - Larry :)

BB King & Bobby Blue Band - Mean Old World
Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind

If my name was on the books and they were underlined, I guess the maintenance guy would know that was a spiritual JDUB who liked to color :)
