You could also say that no one is going to confuse your car with all the Toyotas in everyone else's driveways.

I was somewhat shocked when I moved down here to Florida from NY State. We generally had paper bags in the supermarkets there and you would generally try to fill it reasonably full. I come to Florida, go to a supermarket and buy 7 items and end up with 5 or 6 plastic bags. They seem to only put 1 or 2 items in a plastic bag. It just seems counter-intuitive to me.

Although many here may think I lean to the left a lot, I would say that a paper bag is better than plastic. Leave the paper bag in your backyard a few months and it just goes away. Plastic seems to remain forever.

First On-Screen Crush?
by Simon inmany years ago, we lived in a world where the one tv in your house might be black and white, perhaps color if you were lucky, but either way the screen was small and the arial on your house would struggle to deliver a decent signal but often fail in a fuzzy mess.
most of the movies you saw were old, there was no home video or rental - you got a chance to see something and then it was gone.
planning your viewing was important to make sure you didn't miss something so you'd carefully scan the tv guide to pick out your favourites ... good job there were only 2 or 3 channels to look through.. but you could still see quality if you went to the movie theatre and there you got to see glorious film on a giant screen (which is only now being equalled quality wise).

Even though much older than me, Diana Rigg (Mrs. Peel) in the Avengers. In the original British show (probably reruns we got here in the US), she was just so cool. Her and Mr. Steed were great.
That still ranks in my mind as one of the best shows ever.

(If an appeal is made after seven days, the judicial committee should contact the Service Department immediately for direction.)
slimboyfat ...
I think that is likely what happened in the situation I described earlier here. The person did not appeal but after a short time (perhaps a few weeks) presented proof that he was not even in town at the the time the elders thought they saw him alone with a woman in her house. They called his relatives in another state to confirm that he was visiting and he provided receipts of his travel.
It all got somehow "rescinded."

In all my years as a JW, I have heard of this happening twice.
In the one case I am aware of, the person really didn't care and was a PIMO. Apparently someone who looked like him was spotted by a JW going into a single woman's house at night and told the elders. The elders did the spying stake-out thing and waited in their car and "saw" him go into the house at night. When asked by the elders, he denied it. He was DF'd and did not appeal.
After the fact, and the reality of what was happening with his family, he presented evidence that he was not even in town the night that the elders claim they saw him. He showed evidence that he was traveling to see relatives/vacation in another state. The elders called and confirmed his side of the story. He also had a couple of receipts from things he had purchased hundreds of miles away that weekend when the elders said they saw him near his home.
In the end, an announcement was made something to the effect that the he was no longer disfellowshipped and that any congregation action against him had be rescinded.
He was not in my congregation but in the next town over and it was quite the news for several weeks.

Prince Andrew & Jeffrey Epstein, WTF
by Simon inin fact, several "wtf"s, not least - why were you visiting a convicted pedophile after his release from prison, never-mind having any contact with him in the first place when his preoclivities seemed to be an open secret.. and the best he can some up with is "i don't remember"?
you don't remember?
there's a fucking photo of you with one of the victims and accessories to the crimes you dumb fuck!.

There is the expression in English, "Birds of a feather flock together."
Clinton (Bill), Trump, Prince Andrew, etc. seemed to be "friends" with this guy.
No one can tell me that being that close to someone, staying at his place, his island, his jet, etc. can say with a straight face that you know nothing about what is going on.
It would be like being around El Chapo and saying you had no idea he was in the drug business.
Come on now, come on.

PROVE IT!
by minimus inthat’s my attitude toward anyone making an assertion.
i’m sick of people saying such and such is true simply because we are saying it.
i would think that those here would agree because we all have been jehovah’s witnesses.

It's as simple as some used to say that if you read it on the internet, it must be true.

Another High School Shooting ... Pleasantville, New Jersey
by RubaDub inlast evening (15 nov 2019) at a high school football game in new jersey, another shooting.
"fortunately," the injuries are apparently not life threatening.. that's at least the second shooting this week.
if all the students were armed, they could have just shot the guy.. we need more guns, not less.

Its funny to me how liberals equate guns to murder but never Muslims to terror.
Jimmy Y ...
Rogue Muslims are terrorists, yes. Rouge Americans are terrorists yes.
In all of these school / mall / dance club / public shootings, I don't recall them being Muslims.
Granted, the 9/11 Muslims were mostly Saudis (whom American politicians continue to kiss their butts because of cheap oil).
Actually, there is far more Muslim on Muslim terrorism than anything close to that on Americans or Europeans.
