I Just Got My Electricity & Heat Back!

by minimus in

jw
friends

i've been living in a sheraton the last 4 days because i got flooded out and due to the severe storm, lost power.

unbelievable few days!

Uzzah

As tempting as the opening may be Mary.... LOL

Spoke with my family in New England. Many around them have been without power now for 4 days as a result of the ice storm. I am heading there next week to help them with cleaning up the fallen trees etc.

Fortunately two years ago I set them up with a generator wired into their homes so the furnace, sump pump, fridge, microwave and coffee maker still run. I also bought them a battery free no-frills corded phone that actually works during power failures so they can keep in touch. They got their power back today but it was really an non-event for them except for my kid brother who was going through internet withdrawl. It is just my step mother and kid brother there so I am glad they were at least warm and could heat meals.

Be prepared for emergencies folks. It can make even these small incidents much less painful.

Do the Brooklyn GB members have bodyguards?

by VM44 in

does anyone know if the gb members in brooklyn have bodyguards?.

if so, how many?

and....do they carry any protective devices or weapons?.

Uzzah

They had "handlers" but no real body guards. I was travelling with a well known and respected Canadian member (Jack Nathan) of the annointed to Brooklyn one year. Being that I am rather tall and large Ted Jaracz and Dan Sydlik joked that they were bothered that Jack had a personal bodyguard and they didn't.

So they had brothers assigned to their well-being but not bodyguards per se.

The closest thing they had were the wannabes that sate at the front or corners of the stage.

On a side note I used to train security guards and custom agents. I also did building security reviews for some fairly well-known industries. I couldn't help but have some fun with my old room mate at Bethel in charge of security. They already viewed me as a potential threat, so last time I saw him I discussed how I was hired to breach security for my clients to prove where the gaps were in highly secure facilities. He looked a little concerned. So I continued talking about the high tech measures that can be cracked and how the Canadian Bethel really should do a review since the random motion detectors and door alarms just don't cut it against serious intruders.

I am certain he was off furiously writing memos to the Branch Committee about how I was threatening to breach Bethel security. I still snicker at the paranoia even now.

Like I could be bothered.

Are you going to your Company Holiday Party?

mine is saturday at a nice country club... my boyfriend is taking me, though it's not his cup of tea.. he's a really great guy.. our company christmas party used to be at the omni parker house in boston...very formal.

http://www.omnihotels.com/findahotel/bostonparkerhouse.aspx now it's at the country club...nice, but not quite the same ambiance.

tonight i have an association holiday party... (csi...construction specification institute) it's being held at the ica (institute of contemporary art) in boston.

Uzzah

Yep and have supported it the past three years as well. In fact it is an excuse to pull out the tuxedo as I have MC'd the Company party each year.

It is a great opportunity to show corporate leadership, have some fun and at the same time privately snub my nose at the years of not enjoying the good will that bubbles to the surface this time of year.

It is amazing to me that some of the dolts that sit on the senior management table don't get it. This is an opportunity to be visible as a leader and they are quite content to sit in the corner like every other employee. Works for me. All in attendance view me as the next Provincial General Manager while those who really want the job sit quietly in the background.

yes, simon...hit me over the head.. but i can't help but wish she (prisca) would be back here.. i've spent time with her in-person; finally-free can attest to her sweetness.. on-line : well she's a formidable challenge sometimes; but a heart as big as herself.. i hope we'll allow her back here during the last days of this forum.. she has not asked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lltg3iwoqe8.

but i do recall this australian band's video from 1988/89 - which she remembered all-too-well.. missing prisca big time!.

Or perhaps people here have enough decency to not talk trash about people who either can't or don't post here. Novel concept apparently.

Glad to see people that have responded here have graciously wished her well and kept it mostly positive.

why are freemasons pushing "the chip"?

by ninja in

Uzzah

Just to add to the paranoia, note how those evil Masons are partnering with such dangerous and subversive groups like Child Find, police departments and other child welfare community groups.

Just wanted to take this chance to give Grace a great big hug {{{{{{{Granny}}}}}}

You are one of the most sincere and real people I have ever met. You are loved and stop being so selfish and wanting to die. You are needed here by so many.

You will get your reward soon enough but for now enjoy the present the future will come on its own.

how close can you get to someone on jwd?.....without...

by oompa in

friends

even meeting them?......i have quite a few friends here....some i have met...some i have not......but i am really amazed at how well you can get to know and appreciate other people here, without ever having met them in person....i guess the kids with the myspace and facebook etc....are used to it...but i had never even visited any type of online community except for a car or motorcycle question!!!..........

there are so many of you here i would love to have over to my apostabeachplace....which i could arrange on my apostaphone......and if i ever do win the lottery,i will fly you in on my apostajet.............oompa.

Uzzah

You can become very close but just don't fall in love with a screen name. Despite phone calls, shared intimacy, etc it can all come crashing down around you. Remember these are strangers, albeit most with bonafide good intent but there are users and fakers.

Don't share too much or give too much of yourself if the person isn't willing to meet halfway.

Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) in the Watchtower

by Dogpatch in

jw
friends

satanic ritual abuse (sra) and the watchtower.

crappy demons messed this up.

http://www.freeminds.org/history/onsatanism.htm.

Uzzah

I have heard and read many claims of SRA primarily focusing on areas of the west coast of the United States.

Having been at Bethel for 11 years I can swear that I saw absolutely no evidence of ritual abuse, satanic or otherwise, except for the emotional/psychological abuse common throughout the Cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I believe there has been some isolated examples of perverted and sick actions by people who happened to be within the Jehovah's WItness congregations but it was not sanctioned nor part of the Organization's practices.

Some victims of this sort of abuse are damaged emotionally and can often attempt to put disjointed memories or thoughts together so they can make some sense. I don't think the Pat Garza's are intentionally lying but I do believe their perceptions, memories and sense of balance are not completely straight.

has anyone else noticed that people were completely screwed up today.

i had people at work freaking out, that normally are normal, others picking stupid battles just for the sake of fighting.. i hit my favourite pub tonight to forget about the day and ended up 'bouncing' three different beligerents.

all three at least 6 inches shorter 50-70 lbs lighter yet they insisted on attempting to throw punches and generally cause a scene.

(background - I am about 6'5" 260 lbs and used to teach arrest/restraint procedures and handcuff training) Two ended up getting arrested and one taken home by friends. I am not even going to get into the women that wanted to toss it up with pretty much any other gal. Hen-fights.... now that is scary!!

So needless to say it was not exactly what I would call a restful evening. Did anyone else find it a weird day overall?
