i just spent 30 minutes writing this story and lost it all before i hit submit.
i'll try to be brief.. last night a former co-worker of my wife's called saying he was on his way to the house to drop off a job he would like her to do.
we haven't seen him in over 8 years.
Wow. You did a great job.

recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".
her response went something like this, " we are all out!
everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..
so said the co last night.. apparently a jw was on a flight and just happend to sit next to some big wig from pixar and when the man from pixar heard that he was a jw the pixar man just gushed over what great work that the watchtower has done in producing the caleb video's.
he siad he only wished pixar could do such great work.
the co said we are able to do it because we have free labor and jehovah behind us.. my husband stayed home from the meeting but wanted to tie in by phone and that is what the co said in his talk.. the co also talked about all the changes that have happened in the last ten years and how if some of the friends did not like it they needed and to quote him "they just needed to get over it" these changes are going to happned period.

Your friends here at JWN are so proud of you!

Thank you for sharing some of your reasoning ability with us.
After I signed up here, almost 2 years ago, you posted something about earlier civilizations, that came before the Bible, Adam and Eve story.
I emailed you and sincerely asked is that true? You didn't respond, so I figured that meant look it up on my own time, and I did. I was shocked.
I hope you won't forget us, and will pop in occasionally and say hi. We understand you have a new life and you actually spend your days,
truly saving people.
Very admirable. Very noble. Very caring.
Yes, that is our Dr Snare&Racket.

I don't know what it is like to be a Black person. A person of color. I don't know if many, many people of color live daily in fear.
-----> If these white policemen killed this big defenseless Black Man in broad daylight, with people around, watching and taping them, with the offensive personality traits these white's have, what do they do in private, in the noisy , busy city, in back alleyways? What about back in the woods, when no one is watching?
It turns my stomach to think how callously these policemen acted. They did not act with any restraint at all. It makes me think that for this pack of wolves, this Black Man might not have been their first kill. How many murders does someone commit, before it seems ho hum? There is a photo of the policeman who was the murdering instigator, waving to the camera afterward. ??? How wacko is he? No one pulled the murderer off. Instead, the other officers, joined him.
Sick.

Darth Frosty. I hear you. That day, he didn't have anything on him, with him. Somewhere in one of the reports it said he had a habit of selling untaxed cigarettes, and was known for that.
-----> Berney Madoff ripped off daily, weekly, monthly, yearly (decades) how many people for how many tens of millions of dollars? Where was the watchdog (Police) then ?
If I was Garner with 6 kids, and wanted some quick cash, I don't know what I would do. I am not a tall, big black man with medical issues. I don't know what it would have been like to have walked in his shoes.
It was just such a horrible video to watch. He had plans for his future. He was loved. Every man wants to walk their daughters down the aisle. He never had a chance with those aggressive white hate filled policemen looking for the moment they could take him down and get them a ( ) fill in the disgusting blank.
Thank goodness, one of the bystanders felt the urge and need to tape Garner's brutal take down and not only taped it, but shared it to the world.
Those little white guys have no bragging rights because this video exists. They cannot say this man was aggressive or egged them on, or anything of the sort.
It will be interesting to see what the Federal Court system does with his murderers in the months ahead.
So senseless. So needlessly sad.

one friend of mine who has also passed, just loved rockford files.
feeling saddened today reading about james garner passing on.
goodbye jim - you sexy hunk!
I love the movie "Sayonara". He co-starred against the leading man, Marlon Brando. No matter how many times I see the movie, I don't get tired of watching it.
Of course him playing the older man in "The Notebook". That movie is beautiful too, and also so sad.
Thank you for all the good times we had, watching your great acting ability James Garner.
RIP. One day, it will be our turn too.

On losingit's YouTube tape, at 6 minutes, can be heard the words... " drag him?" As to what to do with this man's body, they just murdered.
-----> They were lying when they touched him and said he was breathing after 4 plus minutes of not breathing. No one cared. No one helped him by putting a rolled up towel under his head to elevate his upper torso to help him breath. No one held him. They knew he was dead and it just did not matter to them.
I don't understand all those policemen milling around. I don't understand their carelessness. I don't understand the whole nonchalant attitude by these policemen and policewomen. The woman with the blue non-latex gloves didn't help at all.
Where's CPR? Where's an oxygen mask? Where is compassion? Where is fellow feeling? Where?
They murdered a man selling untaxed cigarettes. Even that sentence sounds idiotic. They killed a man, for continuing to sell untaxed /illegal cigarettes. Killed him? Murdered him in cold blood. Senseless. It makes it hard to respect the PD.
I feel so sorry for this man Garner and his family and 6 children.
