i live in the sierra nevada foothills of california; a selling point for prospective homeowners in the slightly lower elevation is what is touted in the subject title.
well, right now we are being blasted by a storm barreling down from canada, with hazardous driving and blizzard conditions in the offing, higher up.. as to fog, this photo offers a rare display of misty conditions over our lake, that after the last major rain storm.
it reminds me of summer days of my youth on the pacific coast..

CONSCRIPTION - a load of Shite anyway !
Name one 'honourable' 'righteous' 'worth laying down your life for' conflict on Earth today ? Or one country that deserves the honor of having its citizens lay down their lives ?
In my case we were shipped off to 14 months detention in a Military Prison - looking back it was an amazing experience [even if I was in the cult at the time]~
I was not coerced - I detest the taking up of arms [period] ...a Rite of Passage for me.
it seems that every congregation had a problem with people being affected by the demons.
looking back i have to wonder was it that more people were emotionally or mentally unbalanced?
or they simply off their medications or were they in need of meds?.
Back in the 60's encounters with Demons was quite the fashion - but in all the ones I witnessed the people involved were really not doing well mentally.
I do not share some of the views on the 'greatness of Mr Graham - I believe him to have been a truly great Charlatan -
a man took to facebook to share his experience at a general hospital in lagos state, and its bound to leave you speechless.. in the post that he shared on social media, the man revealed how he got to the point of beating up a man whose wife had just died.. http://www.pulse.ng/gist/metro/pregnant-woman-unborn-child-die-over-jehovahs-witness-belief-id8007373.html?utm_content=bufferbe61d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer.
Dunedain - Ray Franz articulated that point beautifully in ISOCF but JDubbery cannot see that as the Kool-Aid produces myopia.
In the comments section of the Journal [ below ] the JW's commenting are having a field day sprouting their defense of this mans decision - Needs some input from the ex-JW community please .....................

i was reading another thread about the new gb member and it got me wondering if anyone knows someone who partook of the emblems at the memorial even though they knew they weren't 'anointed' just to see what reaction they got?
did they get questioned by elders?
did people start treating them differently?
I attempted to ask members of "The Remnant" all the WH- questions regarding their anointing and on all occasions they deflected away from telling me except to quote a well-used reference in a WT which tried to explain that it was like receiveing a personal letter from a father the contents of which would only resonate with you and not be fully understood by others ~ Go figure~ I thought they would be open and willing to share such a glorified experience..
just a few hours ago i took my wife (uber) to the hall with eats she had prepared as the cong are doing some work there.
i had not set foot onto the kh property in years and my stomach went into a knot as i did.
well what happened?
I concur with Simons comment here however it has taken me a few years to get there. be
Involving an Attorney just a day before they were to meet in a JC "with or without" me which put the brakes on the whole thing was very empowering and healing. The legal letter contained a threat of action if anything was done to besmirch my or my families name etc .
One year later my status remains "untouched" but totally shunned of course .
Having said that I am due to meet with one member of the hierarchy this week - at his request to just "chat" to me.
I shall let you know how this pans out. I will be asking the questions and not the other way around.
Dont hand them your power !!
