This has been all over the net. I think on the Jesse Ventura website/you tubes as well. Our local congressman was interviewed in the local paper about the huge Homeland Security ammo and Arms purchases.
Civil insurrection is a fact of life in history. Look at the history of Isreal, Rome, Europe, France, England, the American Civil War. I am certain SOMETHING is making the 600 or so elected officials of both parties VERY NERVOUS lately. The Drone legislation is very interesting. Who knows what it is ? It seems USA politicians no longer really trust the US Military...and Vice versa. The USA liberals and conservatives HATE each other. The economy is precarious. The internet is percarious. The power grid is precarious. The Texans, Chinese, North Koreans and Iranians are cranky .
What can I do against a drone or tank? ZIP. Fill up a 50 gal barrel of drinking water, keep the pantry stocked, and buy a few sacks of Rice and beans, so we can throw a "goodwill" BBQ party for whatever army marches through eventually. Europe has been dealing this for centuries.....Americans can learn a lot from them.
my 2 cents.

Don't Blame the Organization for Imperfect Humans
by ranmac ini think everyone here has heard this as a response to questioning or serious concerns about the religion.
i think its a cowardly retort.
a flimsy cop-out.

A few relatives said I was "too judgemental" of the GB..."they are just men". I agreed, and said " thats why they shouldn't have left the catholic church"..

Flipping out at the meeting
by BU2B inunfortunatley, i still go to many meetings as i am working on getting my wife to wake up.
for the most part i maintain my composure but there have been two or three times when i actually have gotten so upset and the frustration built so high that i have come very come close to actually slamming something down or pounding the table in the literature room, or shouting out how i felt!
has anyone else felt this way?

There was a knock at the door....
by exwhyzee inor more like a thunking sound really, which set our little dog into a fit of barking.
i crawled out from behind the fridge where i was doing a repair on the waterline for the icemaker, so i could go see what all the commotion was about.
i fugured it was going to be my neighbor returning my ladder but instead it was jw's handing out memorial invites.. the woman and the young man (her 20 something son) were people i had known but hadn't seen since we faded 4+ years ago.

Are the Witnesses Really Losing Their Young People?
by What Now? inthat article about jehovah's witnesses having the lowest retention rate for born ins keeps popping up every now again ... i'm just curious if any of you have noticed that this is actually the case.
in the congregation that i grew up in, i'm going to say that 95% of the young people in their teens to mid twenties are either regular pioneering, regular auxiliary pioneering, serving in foreign language congregations or where the need is greater.
both of my younger sisters are regular pioneers - and the young people in their hall even organize 8 pm to midnight service on friday nights of their own accord.

From what I am seeing on Facebook in California I would agree 100% with the Pew Research numbers.
The MAJORITY of people I grew up with quit years ago or are "Nominal" JWs. A few Sundays a month. A couple of hrs of "easy time" The Children and grandchildren of most current JWs I know are OUT.
It is fun to find the SECRET Facebook accounts of pious JWs and then click on the family FB connections. VERY revealing.
