Here in the LA area 90-95% of the Brothers (Blacks) came in the borg in
the 60,s and 70,s. Unlike our kids who was raised in the cult, we still
had some bad habits to overcome. LOL
But the WT nipped that in the bud. No more beach parties, no house
parties, no sports events between congregations, just focus on the
preaching work. Too much foolishness among the brothers in the
L.A. area.
Those was the days.
Jam & Eyeuse2b: I went to 'em all: Hollywood Hills, East L.A. (those were generally the best), Orange County, SF Valley, etc., etc. I'm sure I knew the group from Santa Monica although I stayed away from horses. If either of you would pm me, I'd like to see if I remember you.
Coffee: I knew Jack. Really good musician.
GMA: Re your husband; I might remember him. Can you pm me with his name?
Besty & Oub: You're both too young to know what I'm talking about (and too innocent).

In the late 1960's I lived in the Los Angeles area (very close to Downey by the way). In the early 1970's, I lived in San Diego. I was a loyal, faithful (and ridiculously stupid) pioneer.
I never had that much fun then, but in a few years, I had more fun than any dub has had in an entire lifetime.
I regret nothing about all that fun. I rue the years I sold Watchtower horsehit books and magazines.

60s and 70s LA Parties !!! Woohoooo!! Like Lois said they were FUN. You could hit parties and wedding receptions from Santa Barbara to Orange County and east to San Bernardino just about every weekend.
Redeye had a special meaning.
I remember the late 50's early 60's in the valley. Lots of parties.
What's a party? It was all old people where I was at back then. There idea of a party was a coffee break during field service. LOL Totally ADD
My brother did the party scene in the late 50's early 60's, they had fun.
About 1972-73 was the start for me. Lots of weddings I remember, and it was open to everyone back then. I had a different group mid to late 70's, not too wild, but lots of dancing and camping and fun.
DNCall: Besty & Oub: You're both too young to know what I'm talking about (and too innocent).
Too young, yes. Too innocent, no. Proving you don't really know me at all!
I lived in Ventura (just north of LA). We had nothing like that, but it we did have some parties. When I moved up to Northern California, that was the end of my social life, it was a different culture up there.
LisaRose, I was in Oxnard as a teen, before leaving to needgreat.
