  What's up, everyone? I haven't posted here in a couple of years (at minimum). I stopped posting because Simon was closing down the site. I didn't realize it was still in existence. . This site really helped me when I took my first baby steps of my exodous from the JW organization.

  I haven't been to the hall since 2005, except once when living in Brazil (2008) because I was curious to see how the Brazilian's did their meetings. Let me tell you, it's just as mind numbing in Portuguese as it is in English.

  Anyway, I see lots of new faces here, and it's good to see you here!

  PS...How do I update my profile?

  The Benson's were well dressed and seemed to enjoy Bobby C's. I heard that they attend this place from time to time, but I had never run in to them. I have seen a member from the Gap Band there before.

  Anyway, just a sighting I had. I don't know if he's still a dub or not. Regardless, I always enjoyed his music...he's very talented.

  Maybe next time I will bump in to DMX or Mike Tyson, they live out here in the desert.

  if dubster's really believe in 'waiting on jehovah', then why do they sue when they don't get their way?

  just seems like a contraction (what else is new?)..

  "Cant go against religous freedom,which the WT ( while I was a member & helped fight for) GOT for all except their own members."

  Great point, mouthy. They brag about how they are integral to gaining religious freedom for all, but yet their own member don't have "freedom".

  Jehovah's Witnesses sue for Kingdom Hall AARON LEO [email protected] Article Last Updated: 12/27/2007 10:49:06 PM EST http://www.connpost.com/localnews/ci_7824555

  BRIDGEPORT — Rebuffed twice by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Jehovah's Witnesses have sued the city to build two connected meeting halls on a Huntington Turnpike lot.

  The suit was filed in early December by lawyer Timothy Hollister, of Shipman & Goodwin in Hartford, according to Jeff Gordon, a volunteer for a regional Jehovah's Witnesses building committee.

  The lawyer was unavailable for comment. Greg Conte, an associate city attorney who handles zoning issues, was also unavailable.

  But Patricia Fardy, the P&Z chairwoman, stood by the board's reasons for denying the Kingdom Hall proposal at 257-269 Huntington Turnpike.

  "I'm familiar with the area and the sight line is in question" for the property and passing traffic, she said.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses' traffic studies underestimated the speed at which traffic travels through the area, she said, adding that the project was denied out of concern for the "safety of parishioners and the public."

  "Exiting and entering that driveway would have been very, very hazardous," she said.

  The commission unanimously rejected the application in September, citing traffic concerns as a primary reason. Two City Council members at the time pointed out that the site is a few blocks from so-called "Dead Man's Curve," an 0.8-mile-long stretch bordering on Beardsley Park named for numerous serious motor vehicle accidents that have occurred.

  But a revised application, presented at November's P&Z meeting, proposed the elimination of walls and trees to improve the sight lines for an unobstructed 1,000 feet.

  The vote then was 4-3 in favor of the plan, but it was a rejection by default because the proposal failed to win a two-thirds majority, or five of the seven P&Z members.

  Jehovah's Witness congregations that would have met in the proposed Kingdom Halls worship in Spanish, French and American Sign Language. They now meet in Monroe and Orange. There's also a Kingdom Hall on West Avenue near State Street.

  Gordon said despite the rejections, the Jehovah's Witnesses still plan to buy the second of two homes on the property. They own the first one.

  Worst WT term ever

  my vote for the worst watchtower term is:.

  circumcision of the heart!.

  i can't believe that there are people who can not only say "circumcision of the heart" with a straight face in front of the congregation, but defend its 'meaning'.. other runners up in my opinion:.

  How do you feel about Photo Radar?

  2. friends

  recently, in my great city of phoenix, arizona, i received a notice of violation for speeding even though the actual person (a woman) who was captured by the photo radar was driving a car which wasn't mine with a plate that wasn't registered to me.

  i took it to the media and they did an interview with me, which you can see here: www.kpho.com/video/14785490/index.html.

  my biggest issue or concern is that i am jumping through hoops to clear this up with the arizona department of public safety.
