If the people are as ' non - witness - looking ' as you saw, then who knows what other non - witness activities you may observe from your new neighbours ?
(if this is not inapropriate).......Have fun !

the nice lady living next door to me lost her husband last year and finally decided to move in with relatives.
although we only had a nodding acquaintance, i was sorry to see her go.
the "for sale" sign did not stay up long.

the other day i called an elder and explained some of his shortcomings and how they had had a negative impact on my family.
he had little to say and did dispute what i had to say.. .
yesterday we received flowers and a card, with an apology!
No Apologies.
You think you may have started to ' convert ' him ?
Nice to hear about the apology though.

in the uk there has been a big trial going on in which the former butler to diana princess of wales was charged with stealing some of her possessions after her death.
he has pleaded not guilty from the start.
this has been going on for close to 2 years, the case dramatically collapsed this morning when the queen finally decided to get off the royal butt and intervene saying that she knew he was holding some of diana's possessions.
Shutterbug, Why do you need a queen anyway??
Well SOMEBODY has to live in all those palaces !!!

ok , we got the little ones all ready to go trick or treating right...... they freaked the first couple of doors, scared to death to say anything to the people at the door.
i was laughing so hard because they must have thought it was like the scarey days of going door to door in the ministry.
after another house , we decide to go to the carnival in town and see what was going on there.

last night i posted a picture of my watchtower jack o'lantern and lyin eyes double dog dared me to take it to the kingdom hall.
sooo................. after the trick or treating was over, we loaded the kids in the minivan and drove to the kingdom hall.
i put the pumpkin on the railing on the front porch right in front of the main entrance.
So next year they will have to have a brother on ' Pumpkin Prevention Privilege ' ?
The competition should be fierce for the post !
Princess you are a star !

i have been smoking off and on for over a year,,,,,,,never smoked before this year in my life.. it all started just for the hell of it.
then as my hub and i started going out dancing and hitting the town, cig smoke was everywhere.
i would comehome with it in my hair and all over my clothes.
I've been smoking since i was 12, I am 49 now.
2 years ago I started ' hand rolling ' because they are smaller, and it is not always convenient to make one, it was the only way I could cut down from 40 a day.
Oh well !

just thought i would share this with the group.. i don't get these people.
they actually take the time to write to me?
and when i take the time to write a nice, friendly reply, asking for clarification, they don't have the common courtesy of sending a response.
So some WT matererial is anti JW ?

"no such thing as a man willing to be honest---that would be like a blind man willing to see.".
f. scott fitzgerald.
i very strongly tend to be totally open and honest about how i feel and what i think.
I agree, being honest is the only way to go.
Just ask yourself "How do I feel when I find out that a person is not being honest with me ?"
I, for one, will not make a person feel that way, and I will not conpromise my good name by being dishonest.
If I think myanswer may be hurtful in some way, I decline to answer unless 'pushed' then the onus is on the other person to take my answer as it stands.
Now ya got me being serious Craig...........are you out to blast my rep. ??????

what an opportunity!
imagine, a group with a worldwide membership who are devoted to the group.
a group whose members are always going from door to door.
What an opportunity!
Imagine, a group with a worldwide membership who are devoted to the group.
A group whose members are always going from door to door.
A group that sends out thousands of books per year.
A group who are very secretive at the top.
A group who sends out regular newsletters, containing lots of numbers, worldwide.
A group who sends and receives thousands of letters each week.
Just think of the result if such a group was used for espionage! Books to be used as code books, numbers in the magazine to send messages, people going door to door to deliver/pick up information, practically impossible to check all the mail, legitimate meetings, secret books at higher levels, a policy of non-disclosure to authority, patsys at every level who would take the fall and say nothing, money from the general public in donations for running expenses, the list is nearly endless.
What a marvellous opportunity this would be!
Good job a thing like that could never existhm?
