Good idea, maybe a table with print outs from Quotes, a copy of Crisis of Conscience......Lovingly offered for a small donation to cover the cost of printing and handling...

Anticipation....
by pmouse inhubby just called.
on his way out of the neighborhood (where we are having a subdivision-wide garage sale), he spotted a group of well-dressed individuals with book bags descending upon the streets.
although i have the "no soliciting, no peddling, no preaching" stop sign posted to my screen door (someone here thoughtfully posted), i am waiting anxiously to see if:they even make it to my street because of notorious fascination with garage sales while in the field;they attempt the climb up my stairs to my front porch (hubby just replaced the steps, no handrails yet, therefore the call to put out a cone or something);finally, if they actually ring my doorbell.. if number 3 happens, i plan to launch into the subject of education and how the wts discourages it while not so tactfully pointing at the sign.

Hubby just called. On his way out of the neighborhood (where we are having a subdivision-wide garage sale), he spotted a group of well-dressed individuals with book bags descending upon the streets.
Although I have the "NO Soliciting, NO Peddling, NO Preaching" stop sign posted to my screen door (someone here thoughtfully posted), I am waiting anxiously to see if:
- They even make it to my street because of notorious fascination with garage sales while in the field;
- They attempt the climb up my stairs to my front porch (hubby just replaced the steps, no handrails yet, therefore the call to put out a cone or something);
- Finally, if they actually ring my doorbell.
If number 3 happens, I plan to launch into the subject of education and how the WTS discourages it while not so tactfully pointing at the sign. Should they stick around, the UN might be a nice topic, along with 607 issue, false prophets....If push comes to shove....nah, no handrails = lawsuit.
I have a sneaking suspicion the garage sales are going to get them....And they'll probably turn in 10 hours on their time cards tomorrow....

I agree! Write a letter to the corporate office customer service and cc: the local manager regarding what transpired.
Petsmart pays her wages yet she can sue them for discriminatory action based on religion. So why should you, the customer who ultimately pays her salary and without whom Petsmart wouldn't exist, be subjected to discriminatory treatment based on religion?

When the JW subject is brought up, I usually say, "I used to be one of those. It's a cult you know, I'm lucky to be free." Illicits many questions and comments relating to how strange it is as well as the people involved. A good way to enlighten those who ask about its tactics, hold on members, etc.

Serving with a date in mind.
by Fleshybirdfodder inmy parents had a "feeling" that the end would come in october 1994. i have no clue what this was based on, but i remember this was preceeded by other "feelings" about when the end would come that didn't materialize.
i guess they just did it to get keep the feeling of urgency since the end was "just around the corner".
my dad was an elder and i don't remember anyone making a stink about it when he voiced his ideas in service... just a big hearty chuckle all around with a "you may be right!

Isn't that "having a feeling" thing similar to psychic ability and the occult? Maybe you'd better remind them and then screw up your eyes funny, point at them and scream at the top of your lungs "DEMONZ!!!!"

My concern has to do with the fact that these people are illegally coming into the country without proper proof of vaccinations and taking advantage of social service programs that legally working Americans and green card aliens provide via taxes.
Revamping the tax structure would assist, but what happens when diseases previously eradicated in the US start popping up again? How will our hospitals and medicare system cope with the additional strain under an already hemoraging deficit? I believe any person should have the right to come to America. It's what this country was built on, however, the key word here is LEGALLY.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. Well, not yet...we can't throw out the ones who are here, but we can stop the influx. Erect barriers and police the borders. One "9/11" is enough. (Flame me if you must) NOW I'm off the soapbox!
