    Driving through an area of town today and was told that that particular locale was once referred to as "Goat Hill" by the local jw's. It was THE affluent section of the city some 30-35 years ago. Now, not so much. Middle class at best. I had never heard that reference before and it just struck me as funny -thanks to hindsight of course. So very typical of the witness way of thinking.

    So did you have a "Goat Hill" in your town?

    Yes, way back in the 60's - 70's when I was a kid, Jamaica Estates was considered a "goat hill" because of the palatial homes and the residents , mostly Jewish, showing no interest at all , I now see a small yet growing population of people of color, and not just African-Americans, as am I, living in those homes.

    And I take pleasure in saying I am now a resident in that community in one of their apartment buildings (where the rent isn't that high or I wouldn't be there myself) and NO WITNESSES ARE ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING TO WITNESS ! ! ! !
