for those of you who have travelled the world over, which country or city will you consider the place to live in the world.
We love the San Francisco, CA Bay Area.
You can surf in the morning, hop in the car for a 3 hour (mid-week) drive and be snow skiing in the afternoon.
Food, music, eclectic mix of cultures, we love it.
If I had to pick a European city, Barcelona would be in my top 5, provided I was living off retirement funds.
One of these days we'll make it down under and visit the Kiwis and Aussies.

i believe that this site, jwn, serves many purposes.
.
some are here almost, out of need.. others are here because they want to know the latest in watchtower world.. still others come here for the entertainment.. why do you frequent this place?
Mainly to see if there's any new AAWA threads.
this case is in it's 9th year an has been touched upon briefly on and off.. the latest from the federal court is that all gated communites in puerto rico have until april 23 to provide the watchtower corporation full access.... this means the entry code or remote control devices that open the front fence.. this is clearly an act of provocation in order to create "pseudo-persecution" thereby increasing fs hours and "voluntary donations"....
BOTR : "I thought they have no right to enter public property."
I think you mean "private", correct?
The phrase I remember hearing all the time was that the pathway, or most direct route, to a resident's front door is an implied invitation unless the JW, poll taker, nosey neighbor, etc. has been told to leave.

i'd like to offer a public apology to nathan natas for making a wrong decision when i deleted him.. i allowed a combination of previous issues we'd had and input from other forum members to bias my decision which lead me to what i now, in hindsight, believe to have been a mistake.. whether you want to come back and post here or not i wanted to at least say sorry and will reactivate your account..
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!
(Nice to hear from Nickolas as well.)

People who are driven to accomplish anything of substance usually have a fairly healthy sized ego.
Being able to still have and act on their internal "Humble Pie" voice is critical, IMO.
Simon, thank you for publicly having a slice. It benefits many.
Nathan, I hope you will come back. You may have forgotten this, but one time you sent me some very practical info via PM on self-defense. I still have it.

on my morning commute today in a residential area, there was an suv driving in the same lane i was in, but about a block ahead of me.
the suv pulls over just past a bus stop where a young lady is already waiting for a bus.
the suv lets off a passenger who starts walking back to the bus stop.. .
@ Queequeg: " if someone did a comparative study of the different religions' carbon footprints, what would they find?"
Sounds like a good job for the Pew Research Institute.
(They've already shown JWs to have the worst born-in retention rate and to be among the poorest educated among Americans with a religious background.)
Were you one of those JWs who would drive from one end of the territory to the other doing RVs with the goal being to use as much time and fuel as possible?
I certainly was towards the end of my stint with the JWs. Really grated on my wife's nerves until she finally started to smell the JW coffee.

@ Glander: "You left out a pertinent clue..."she was wearing a pheasant dress".... "
Peasant, Glander, peasant!
Yeah, if I had included that detail, there would have been no puzzle whatsoever.

jgnat: Bingo!!
My JW "spidey sense" started going off big time as I watched the middle-aged woman leaving the SUV wearing a peasant dress. As I drove past, I recognized her face from a nearby congo.
Part of my brain wanted to yell out the window "Run!! It's a cult!!"
But mostly I just thought "What a complete waste of time, gas and energy".

As I'm now nearing the SUV, I begin to slow down because I know there's a good chance he might absent-mindedly just pull back out in front of me without looking.
But he didn't. He just stayed there. And stayed there, while I crept past.
Can you think of any idea why?
(First correct answer gets an extra day of eternal non-existence!)
