The 60's and 70's were difficult times. I was drafted, dropped out of college and Uncle Sam called me., no idea where Vietnam was located.Graduated from high school 1965 in Nam 1967. My friends some join the Black Muslim, Black Panthers, Us organization (my wife today one of the original members),one moved to Canada. The funny thing about my friends the ones that escaped the draft went on to graduate from college, two became college professor, one became a dentist, one a doctor most were successful...The weekend before reporting to the draft board or the induction center I was invited to a party by one of the organization I mention above, it was a introduction to get new members...I was confused, should I move to Canada or some other country or serve my country that treat me like sh---t. Well the friends that escaped the draft took advantage of programs for the under privilege to enroll in a major college or university, there were programs in the 60's and 70's for blacks to move up in work force. So what does this have to do with serving in the military, I have know idea.....

When was the first time you said, "thank you for your service" to someone?
by Coded Logic inmine was to some random guy in uniform i saw on the street about two years ago.
even as a jw i knew that we had a lot of freedoms here in the us that were hard earned.
it felt really good to finally be able to say in person to someone when i i did..

How Long Out Before They leave You Alone
by tepidpoultry inmany years ago i met an older man in the ministry who told me he was a baptized jw years ago, when i met him he was an alchoholic and had girlfriends, i told the elders, two came by and they told me to treat him as a regular worldly guy, my question is (i know this is a fuzzy area) about how much time needs to go by before someone (me for instance) would be looked upon as a non jw worldly person?.
:0).

Out since 1987 so you would think, ok I have done all the evil stuff went wild (what JWs think when one leave) but now I'am in my 70 's and it's time to go back to Jehovah..Think you knuckle heads I'am not crawling back to the truth, why not????? Is it stubbornness on my part or maybe slowness of mind but what ever the reason have you brain dead folks ever thought about why after so many years you haven't come back to the truth....

IDEA "new business
by James Mixon inafter seeing tiger woods mug shot the idea hit me, a makeup artist for the famous and rich...i have never seen a mug shot of someone who didn't look like, well you know..weekends you camp out around the police station and charge 20-30 bucks to clean up arrestee(you the makeup artist) before taking their mug shot..i'am sure tiger would have paid big bucks.
i have never taken a mug shot but why don't they offer the folks a mirror......of course you will need to make arrangement with the law but i think it's a good idea to make folks presentable.
i'am sure some folks are declared guilty by just looking at their mug shot..

If you only knew how it felt the first time someone told me "thank you for your service". The vets that served in Viet Nam it was and is a little late but the veterans still alive appreciate it today. I was told before arriving back in the states (1968), be sure you take off your uniform before walking down the street in the good old U.S.A

Yes what a high "used extensively for Circuit parts", but you come down real fast when the next day after the assembly you are cleaning your employee (house cleaning service) toilet. Baptized 1971, MS 1974, Elder 1975 age 29....Served in a foreign country for a year and 9 years where the need is great....

Wow rebel8: So there will be no running around in a vegetable patch, plucking grapes off the vine that are the size of apples and singing Kingdumb songs, camped out on the mountain top over looking a beautiful valley. Now i feel sad, you burst my bubble....
