What are you doing for Turkey Day and Black Friday?
by SnakesInTheTower inhappy turkey day everyone... the one thing i can be grateful about this year is that i am over a year out of the borg.... that was a huge milestone.. i have only distant relatives close by and wont be able to travel this year to be with my brothers (who live 5 and 8 hours away) or mom (11 hours away).
just no time or money to travel this year.. i did receive an invitation to spend turkey day dinner with a jwder and their family, but this year i think i am just going to coccoon the next couple of days... .
(i am very very grateful that they thought of me to extend the invite.

What IS the goal of Watchtower Society anyway?
by SnakesInTheTower inbeing a 2nd gen jw raised from age 4 or 5 until i walked away around 40 or so, i always thought the goal of being a jw was twofold:.
1) glorify god by preaching the good news (and to save people's lives) .
2) warn those who wont listen (so the worldly people cant say they werent warned).

West Palm Beach Christian Convention Center -- 10 Years Old
by SnakesInTheTower inwhile looking for info on another thread, i found this recent article on the old "leaky teepee" in west palm beach, florida...that was bought by the wtbts 10 years ago....for a song.... .
note the regrets of city officials in that they could have done what wt did and sold some of the land (wt sold a lot of the unused land to home depot and recovered a good portion of the $12.5 million they paid for the entire property).
it really is a beautiful property now, inside and out .

Theocratic Warfare: Anti-Tract Tactics :P (humor)
by SnakesInTheTower inso as i go about my business of my job, i have been seeing a lot of these stupid tracts in the door of vacant apartment units and vacant houses... but more of them i see on the ground of occupied houses.... so much for their precious life saving truth (c).
i usually discreetly remove them so as not to become litter and a eyesore... (ok...i just dont want anyone reading that drivel.)..
having read it myself, i am now heading back to the kh....hat in hand...humble...ready to submit to a jc..... or not.....i dont see how that message is that strong as to affect anyone but the most lonely, socially isolated, weak individuals in society.. snakes (.
