many years ago, there were many white cars around, but since 10 years around here, maybe 1% of cars are white.
and most of them are old cars.. i don't know if this is just a local thing, but you just don't see white cars anymore in most new car dealer parking lots.. for some reason, i still like white and haven't had one in years, and i do change car often, and was wondering if white is "out" and old fashioned now a days..... i think that there are many white cars where the climate is hot, but up here in canada, it ain't so..
I was driving it over Gates Pass (a very hilly road west of town) on a rainy day when I lost control & it flipped over. Somehow I came out of it with only a few scratches, but the car was totalled.
Oh man, I hate it when that happens! I was ejected from a moving vehicle that was rolled once. Fortunatly though, it wasnt my vehicle so I really didn't care what it looked like when they towed it.

that is, if you are able to without the prospect of facing a three-man kangaroo court appointed by jerhover to keep the congregation clean from apostate influences.. i'll go first: .
WOW! What a catch diamondblue1974!

hey, guys.... looooooong time no see.
some of you might remember me but it's been a very long time.
still in grad school, and have a new (sort of) hobby.. i've always liked guns.
My non JW father taught me to shoot at an early age with a S&W model 41 (.22) and one of two Colt .45's that he owned. Some of my favorite childhood memories are Sunday afternoons at the shooting range with him.
Currently, I'm licensed in the state of OH to carry a concealed weapon legally. I don't make it to the range as often as I would like to now-a-days but I take comfort in the fact that I have the ability to protect myself and my family, lethally if need be. I am the proud owner of one of my father’s Colts (Mark IV Government series as a previous poster mentioned), which I plan on passing along to one of my sons when the time is right and a S&W CS40 that I carry on a daily basis.
Two weeks ago a CVS pharmacy located about three blocks from my house got robbed at gunpoint. The gunman grabbed another customer and used them as a human shield in an attempt to escape the situation as the police were just across the street when he began his offence. Fortunately the innocent bystander was able to break free from the gun man without getting killed. The gun man then turned his fire arm on the police and was killed when the police shot him.
I’m relaying this true story because although a fairy tale land in which guns were never invented is a noble idea, it is a physical impossibility. Guns do exist and have very useful and practical applications. Gun laws and restrictions only keep law abiding citizens from access to them. Criminals will always have guns. They are criminals for a reason; they have no respect for authority, laws or human life and will carry guns illegally without fear of repercussions. New York (as mentioned) and Washington DC have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and the some of the highest crime rates to go along with them.
The US Supreme court has already ruled that as an individual you have no “right” to protection from police. Their duty in general is to society as a whole. When you find yourself at the wrong place at the wrong time I only hope that you’re as fortunate as the individual at the CVS who was lucky enough to have the police right across the street and to get away with your life. Otherwise you can dial 911 on your cell phone and wait for assistance from someone who has no legal obligation to assist. I’d rather use my constitutional rights to self govern and protect my self, family and property how I see fit.

so, i told my wife about the july km news that we'd be studying the revelation book again.
"good," she said.
"good?
Mid last year I took a Revelation book from my mother's library. I wanted to re-read a bit about how the WTBS portrayed the UN. I havent looked at the book since long before I discovered the NGO scandal. After scanning through it a little and sharing it with a co-worker I threw it away. I just couldn't stand to even have it in my house. The WTBS already covered itself with the Revelation book. Chapter 2 page nine contains a box at the top of the page titled "Interpreting the Scriptures". Within this box the Society states, "It is not claimed that the explanations in this publication are infallible." They are leaving them selves a door by which they can escape the lies that they present as truth. They dont claim that this printed publication is "infallible" however they have no reservation of casting one out of thier orginization if they disagree with any of the "truth" published within it's bindings. To think that I spent many hours studing this publication. If only I would have studied my school work with the same dilligence.
my daughters are the sweetest girls alive.. they came over for father,s day and were so loving and careing.
i sure am fortunate to have them as my children.
i'm so happy that they came over for dinner.
I got two cards. One from my wife and one from my kids. The card from my kids had a button that I've been wearing all day. It says "My kids love me!" I also got a new beer mug that says "Dad" on the side. It's chilling in the freezer as I type!
Well, it made me smile.
when i was in my freshman year, they had us take a half semester of sex education and another one was drivers education.
the sex education class taught good stuff for a young teen to know, especially if they were in families who were kind of lax about teaching what needed to be know.
as an example, one girl in our class actually asked if you could get pregnant the first time and another asked if the pulling out method was as good as a condom.
We had sex ed in health class. I dont think that my JW parent was aware that they were teaching it. I certainly didn't tell. That was all I needed was to try to figure out how to tell my class mates that I'm "not allowed" to attend health class because of the current topic of discussion.
