Looking back on life as a jw, when you heard about stuff like this, for the most part we always acted like we either knew nothing about it, or told people that the person involved had not been a jw in years.

Twin (a JW) receives life sentence in Altamonte attack
by OrphanCrow infor background on this case, which involves two jws, twin brothers:http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/282450/on-jw-org-drug-dealing-jehovahs-witnesses-on-trial-murder-spiritual-paradiseone of the twins has now been sentenced and the other is awaiting trial.manuel rodriguez after his first appearance on charges of first-degree premeditated murder at the the john e. polk correctional facility in seminole county, on tuesday, january 21, 2014.
(ricardo ramirez buxeda / orlando sentinel) (ricardo ramirez buxeda / orlando sentinel)a twin who shot and killed a man in broad daylight near a bustling altamonte springs road was sentenced to life in prison on wednesday while his brother awaits his own first-degree murder trial in the coming months.. after deliberating for almost two hours, a seminole county jury convicted 21-year-old manuel rodriguez jr. of first-degree murder and fleeing from police.. circuit court judge marlene alva gave rodriguez life in prison the mandatory sentence for using a gun in a premeditated killing.. prosecutors initially sought the death penalty against the fraternal twins involved in the jan. 20, 2014 shooting at state road 436, less than a half mile west of interstate 4.. but as the facts revealed themselves, it would have been difficult convincing a jury to send the young men,.
jehovah's witnesses with no violent criminal history, to death row, said assistant state attorney dominick leo, who prosecuted the case.. the brothers decided to kill 22-year-old tevin demetrius davis, but it wasn't an intricate plan crafted days in advance, criteria needed to support the death penalty, leo said.. the rodriguez twins were driving a gold chevy cobalt when they spotted davis walking with a friend along the altamonte springs road, a commercial stretch less than two miles west of the altamonte mall.. they recognized davis, who had previously robbed manuel, and made a u-turn to catch up with him.. christopher rodriguez got out of the car and said "this is what you get" while manuel rodriguez remained in the driver's seat, leo said.. "the way it went down ...they were driving down the street and saw that guy walking on the other side of the street," leo said.

My brother in law,, is a blind full in elder. His take on all the safety stuff is that the Borg cares so deeply for everyone! But I have known for years that it's all about money! You can find videos from jw building projects all ôver the world, where safety dose not appear to be of concern at all. Little kids walking up planks with bricks stacked on their heads, or carrying pails of concrete, across planks crossing between buildings.
It's scary watching the dangerous stuff, women and very young children are ask to do, with no safety gear of any kind!
It just shows how full of crap the Borg, really is!

Hey CD, And thanks for the enlightenment!
Milk before Meat. I remember a family that had studied for 7 months. I think there were 7 in the family, 6 were getting ready to be baptized. The week befor the CA they were to be baptized at, it was announced that Wendy was dfed. Well this family had become friends with Wendy and her parents. Wendy (poor kid 17) starts sobbing uncontrollably, but her dad made her set there though the humiliation, crying until the meeting was over, then sent here to the car! Inhushed tones, people were stopping expression their sadness, to the family, just like Wendy had died! All along mom and dad new family, were listening, and started asking questions! An hour later, new family walked out, never to return. Wendy, poor girl was put out of the house two days later, and she was 3 months pregnant. No job, no friends : ( nowhere to go. The by now x-new family, saw Wendy setting at a bus stop, with a suitcase and a few stuffed animals, crying! X-new family stopped and picked her up, and took her to live with them.
Last time I heard, the family treated Wendy like family, her baby like their granddaughter. They paied Wendys way to Georgia State Tech, in Atlanta. She married the x-new families oldest son, the one that never even started to study.
It been 16 years since I last heard anything. But its good to know one good ending!

Don't you just love it!
They can take a shorty story, and write a wt article, giving all kinds of background information, about it, when there is NONE!
I don't remember what the story was but mom in law, insisted on reading it one day. When I said, they are making that up, she looked like I might get struck dead!

I take a T-Mobile hotspot to ca & da, and JwFacts is what I always name it. I set it to open, once, and it had 9 others on it most of the dad!
I named it ApostatesAreHere, once. And I could see people looking around, even a couple elder types were really looking around! They may not have been looking for my hotspot, but I think they were!

The last city I lived in, had a police woman, everyone called, peaches. You could smell her a mile away. I was at the movie one night, and started gasping for air, as the peaches smell hit me. As I was stumbling for the rear exit, I collapsed in the doorway and crawled out into the hallway. A couple of guys helped me get outside to fresh air.
Leaving the 40th floor of an office building, 2 floors down, a few women got in, about 30 seconds later, I was in the floor gasping. They thought I was having a heart attack! Totally blacked out that time! Woke up to EMT's, with a breathingtube down my throat!
My Xmonster, got this stuff called "Xclumation", In busy Atlanta rush hour traffic, she pulls it out and starts spraying, I managed to get off the road, and out of the car before blacking out!
Some purfum's just make me sick, or feel like my lungs are on fire. And guve me headaches.
White diamonds should be marked as a chemical wepon!
Thankfully only about a third of purfum's cause me any problems. But just in case, I start getting away from any of it, if I smell it!

WoW!!!!! In the last go around, about 25 or so long time friends of mine were sent off into the wold blue yonder! most went out the door as SP's, a few went to other countries. most have left the SP ranks, and found their way back home, to entry level job's, and living with family, or friends.
At this rate, I won't know anyone left at Bethell, before long!!!
