  Hi everyone,

  Just back from work, couldn't answer till now.

  BIAHI: I think the Girl next Door lives farther South from me. You see there have been at least 3 record-breaking destructive fires recently in our State as well as countless smaller ones.

  Girl next door, I feel you. We saw 100- foot flames 3,000 feet from our house in the neighborhood where my best friend lives. Her house was saved but 6 of her neighbors lost theirs.

  What I find is noteworthy is that almost immediately the Red Cross and the Salvation Army were making shelters available, distributing hot food and other necessary supplies to evacuees, and collecting donations for more.

  Not a peep about JWs organizing ANYTHING.( no surprise there) They didn't do anything in Redding either.

  We are still friends with a young JW family who lost their home in Paradise. It was a "Wordly" group who started a Go-Fund-Me page for them.

  Wasanelder, Wow! The smoke is horrible. It was bad in redding at least 6 weeks. Don't forget your mask when you go outside.

  Smiddy: Thanks, Hubby and I were evacuated late July during the Carr fire in Redding, Ca. so I know the panic that comes from an announcement that you have 10 minutes to gather what you can and get out.

  Thankfully, our house didn't burn.

  In terms of destruction. 52,000 people are evacuated. Started Thurs.(yesterday) morning with bone-dry humidity and 40+MPH winds. in only one day it took out nearly the whole town of Paradise Ca.(Ironic) both business and residential. Even part of the hospital burned as they were trying to get everyone out while people were having surgery, giving birth etc. To date 6,713 homes/structures lost. At least 3 people burned alive in their car trying to evacuate.

  It is called the "Camp Fire" Still completely out of control. Don't know if the Kingdumb Haul was destroyed. I sure hope so!

  when g. was a litle kid, remembering the watchtower study at age 9, hearing all the stuff, the paragraph, the questions, the answers, about topics i could not understand, so it became so abstract that it was not entering my ears and brains.

  it felt that i was no part of the group, someone alone on a distant planet.. do you remember this feeling?.

  Yup, I remember being bored out of my mind yet, certain words and phrases would make me curious. Like the time I was about 5 or 6 asking, "Mom, what is heavy petting?"

  Family is now reaping what they sowed and they don't like it.

  i resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.

  one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.

  i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.

  In response to those who wonder if we have or intend to sue WTBT$ for the last loan the answer is No for these reasons:

  At the time of her need, we were still believers who wouldn't dream of suing as it would mean certain DFing.(You know, a fate worse than death in our minds.) However, their callous disregard for a faithful widowed, sister who had foolishly given them more than she could spare helped wake hubby and me up!!! HUGE PAYOFF

  Once we were out of Watchtower we had a legal consultation and found out that the cost of the lawsuit would likely be as much as we could prove they owed her.
