Lawnmowers... what is your oppinion???
by Elsewhere init is getting close to time for me to buy a lawnmower.
when i was growing up and cutting my dad's lawn he always had a self-propelled lawnmower.
i was very lucky in that i never had to use a push-mower.

I forgot how hard it is to pull network cable! :x
by Elsewhere inon sunday i worked from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm pulling seven drops with four cables each to the different areas around my new house.. every room will have at least one panel that has four cables: cat6 network, cat6 phone, rg6 satellite (tv) and rg6 cable (tv).
i added two extra rg6 cables to the panel in the family room media niche so that the tv will have access to an additional satellite connection (for a dual receiver satellite system) and an antenna that i will put in the attic.
the cat6 is capable of gigabit speeds that are twice as fast as cat5e.

Sounds great. We just finished our new house and had similar wiring installed in advance of closing up the walls. Cables, cables everywhere. Any particular reason you didn't install fibre optic runs as well? ... besides the outrageous cost of course! Even as an Old F...t I'm still a techno geek at heart.
Best wishes on getting everything up and running to your satisfaction.

No KHalls for Hurricane relief
by SadElder ineldubs in florida (maybe elsewhere too) have been told that the kingdom halls should not be used for relief efforts or for shelters.
liability and insurance issues were stated as the reason.. will try and get a copy of this letter.. of course the kingdom halls are supposed to be the center of true worship and a place of comfort but i guess only in fair weather.

I asked one of my elder friends to try and get me a copy of the letter. He's not secretary anymore so we'll see what he comes up with in the next few days.

Looked both in the KS book and my 'secret' letter file. Can't find any specific reference to indicate this is a df'ing offense. However they can make anything stick if they choose to do so.
The reports I have from Brooklyn are that many bizarre things are happening with respect to removal of elders. Elders being removed right and left at some elder group's whim, so df'ing should be easy. All they have to do is say that "So and So has demonstrated by his course of conduct that he is no longer considered one of Jehovah's Witnesses." That will be the end of that. The Bethel CIA (AKA Service Department under J. Edgar Jaracz)continues it's unkind and uncaring rule as the "benevolent dictatorship."

Since JWs Never Helped Anyone But Themselves, What Do You Do 4 People?
by minimus inwe, as witnesses were taught to believe that our giving the "truth" to people was the most important gift we could give!
forget about giving money to charities or helping any other group out----we needed to give them the "real life".
do you find yourself giving back to the community or to others now that you're out?

For the past seven years, and until just recently, I served as the Chair for a large endowment fund specifically setup to provide funds to the Leukemia Foundation and several free clinics. Even as a JW elder I donated time and funds to causes I felt comfortable helping, despite the opinions of the "lording it over the minions class".
My wife is quite active in fundraising causes for several worthy groups including a shelter for abused women.

Anyone know of a Doctor, Lawyer or other "Professional" who is JW?
by wordlywife ini was just wondering.
since college was (still is?
) discouraged, have any of you known persons of higher education to be in the organization, either by completing it while in or became jw afterwards?

Talked with some Bethel friends last night. Interesting that Burt Schroeder's son Judah Ben has left Bethel to go to University to study law, reportedly specializing in International Law. Now isn't that a crock?

Though reared in the 'truth', we did not hold to the education is the great "satanic evil" doctrine in our family. Both my wife and I attended major universities and hold professional degrees. Because we are still known we don't want to reveal a great deal about our personal lives. Suffice it to say that
We encouraged all three of our children to be the best at whatever they chose to become. My boys are both physicians as well, and have taken over my practice, allowing us time to pursue other venues that are far more profitable in a monetary sense. Our daughter, now married, is a fine (we think) attorney in private practice along with her husband.
BTW the latest from the ?House? (Brooklyn Bethel) is that they are now sending at least two Bethelites to Dental school due to a severe lack of assistance (AKA free care) in that field. They have in the past sent two perhaps more to Law school. Two just recently passed the Bar. So much for the evils of higher learning.
