It happened several times in Clearlake,Ca., not the suspending of literature but the threat to do so through serveral nasty letters from NY stating we owed a negative balance. It "suggested" we read a letter recommending we pass a resolution for a special donation to pay for the literature received.

when I was a kid of 10 a friend died of leaukemia and I prayed to God, when I get married pleae don't let my child get leaukemia. guess what 6 months after my wife and I were baptized as witness our son got leaukemia, he died the week he graduated from high school, in the mean time I continuede to serve in the congregation and presented the typical congo prayer never asking for material blessing just spritul guidance. Then my came down with a rare blood diease and I begged on her death bed for someone up there god Jesus or anybody to help. She died. No I never did ask for a million bucks just some comfort.
sorry for the grammar and misspelled words. in a hurry.

well, actually I don't pray anymore either, but while I was a witless, it seemed as though as if everything I prayed fro ent the other way. and I'm not talking about material things.
I nebver had a prayer answered in my 35 years of service in the congregation.

How significant was the 1995 bombshell - generation?
by jambon1 ini was wondering what effect the article on the generation change had on most people here?.
for years, the trump card on the ministry when replying to the "it will never come in my day" objection to armageddon, was the doctrine of the generation.
many jw`s probobly held back from making important financial comitments.

My sons began studying MA and both have become black belts in Savate. THis is using French kick boxing discipline in corporated into their style of Martial arts. They are both contracted to "Galdiator Challenge". My youngest Wes holds the world Championship belt in the Super Heavy weight class in N. California. He will be defending his belt in October. Wes broke my oldest son's jaw and knocked out three teeth in a sparing match, neddless to say they are now wearing head gaurds and mouth protectors. MA is a very good progran to teach one self-discipline,self-respect, self-esteem. They are confident and self assured at their ages of 27 and 24. I would highly recommend any person in good physical health to take up the arts. good luck in your endeavors
