  i've seen loads of live acts, back when i was a "young person asking" i watched the crystals, heinz, johnny kid and the pirates, brenda lee, joe brown and others all on one show.

  so very innocent!.

  come my eventual departure from dubdom, i resolved to see all these bad people playing their music live.

  Pepper Spray

  by mikepence in

  after considering purchasing a handgun for self protection, our family decided that pepper spray would be a safer, effective, solution.. so, i went out and bought some today.. i wonder how many jw's realize that if an elder finds out that you bought pepper spray for self-defense (even against animals!

  ) that you would be counselled by the elders?.

  i remember an elder telling me about this being in a letter to elders.

  DIM,

  Feel free to correspond with me ( [email protected]) in complete secrecy. I am sure that you heard I DA'ed myself a few years ago.

  My family and I now live in Arizona.

  I am also a computer programmer, and an aspiring writer and artist.

  Is it time to start an ex-JW computer programmer list yet?

  Thanks to all!

  I have put Atlas Shrugged on my Amazon wish list.

  BTW, I would HIGHLY recommend Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, it is one of the best books I have ever read.

  Regardless of their justifications, this, for them, is a deal with the Devil's own right hand organization.

  And, it shows that the WTS is corrupt, from the top on down.
