  not too long ago had a lady and her two teen sons move nearby.

  she had mentioned awhile back how they came from a rough ghetto neighborhood.

  this lady is always screaming and fighting with her sons, so loud, homes away hear it.

  This could be a tricky one .

  If you do decide to "rat" them out and they discover it was you who did so ,are you prepared to take the consequences ?

  You can never be absolutely sure they wouldn`t surmise or guess you were involved .

  On the other hand who want`s druggies / dealers to be living next door to them with the problems that may bring.?

  Maybe involving a willing third party from out of town do an anonymous tip to law enforcement being careful not to divulge anything to tie you or them to the tip off.

  Best of luck bola ,with all of the suggestions given here you should do well in getting any job you apply for.

  One tip from personal experience : If you have a chosen profession you wish to pursue don`t give up if at first you don`t succeed in getting it.

  I had opportunity over a few years to apply for a job I wanted no less than 4 times with the same company before I finally got the job.

  They regarded me as an Aussie battler who persisted to get the job he wanted .

  I ended up working for them for 28 years and retired with a nice payout.

  Good luck to you .

  I read C.O.C. while I was still a JW and it didn`t wake me up ,I just thought maybe R.F. was a disgruntled relative of Fred Franz and maybe a little bit jealous he wasn`t given the same recognition .

  After leaving I read Don Cameron`s "Captive Of A Concept" which I highly value in exposing the JW religion for the fraud that it is.

  As I understood it in the 1960`s they said that the universe could be millions of years old as was stated in Gen.1:1.

  And the following verses only apply to God turning his attention to preparing the Earth for humans to inhabit.

  Their is a difference.

  Of course that still means that humans have only existed on Earth about 6000 years by their chronology,do they still teach one creative day is 7000 years long ? From "Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained" ?

  Or is that just one more of their teachings that they choose to ignore nowadays.

  Warning: autistic screeching ahead ...

  a regular guy went into a vape store in georgia recently, to buy his wife some liquid for her e-cigarettes.

  his big mistake was to wear a trump t-shirt.

  the shop assistant went completely mental because of the t-shirt.. the customer remained calm throughout and eventually got the product he wanted (i think).. but what a scene!

  I wonder if that guy still has a job ? I don`t think he had good PR with his customers or that he had good people skills. ?

  Maybe he needs a little bit more training .

  that title, “buy truth and never sell it”.

  is that not our goal has jw’s, to try to sell the truth to those who have the right heart condition to accept it?.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses have knowingly and willingly promoted a false name of GOD ,namely JEHOVAH that they know was invented by a Spanish Catholic Monk in the 13th Century.

  Especially so since they adopted the name Jehovah`s Witnesses in the 1930`s.and given prominence to that name contrary to the Christian Greek Scriptures ,the New Testament which clearly states that Christians are to be witnesses of Jesus ,NOT Jehovah .

  According to their first edition "Aid" book because it was the most common name used in Christendom .

  9 january 2019. link.

  a question that continues to draw research in the sociology of religion is what factors spur the growth of religions (kelley 1972; iannaccone 1994; bruce 2002; hoge and roozen 1979; stark and finke 2000)⁠.
