I remember in the late 80's in November NYC had a Hurricane Gloria, which is quite rare for the area. It happened on a Friday morning, which knocked out the power in just half of the house, yes that's wierd but at least we had 50 percent power, put my ever pious JW mom, was going crazy! Saying "if we don't get this power back soon, I don't know what I'm going to do !" I should've asked her what she planned to do after Armageddon, when there would be no power, flushsing toilets or available supermarkets at all ! ! ! !

Wife & I were Without Electricity for 6 Days - Empathize with 3rd World......
by flipper ina massive storm from alaska knocked the hell out of northern california , giving us a foot and a half of snow , snapping trees like matchsticks , crashing multiple electrical lines in the sierra mountains where we live.
knocking electric out for 6 days ( thus my dissapearing act from jwn for 6 days ) - we had a 90 ft. ponderosa pine tree ( 3ft, around ) crash on the lower end of our acre we live on .
it's still leaning on oak trees suspended in time.

by Giordano infrank was concerned that they might be dumping them in the woods or something so he wanted me to check it out.. i had a hard time convincing h and h to let me join them in service, finally i dropped a few hints that i was a pretty laid back brother who didn't always follow wtbts policy......... which wasn't far from the truth.
this guy was hard core.

Why did "Back Calls" change to "Return Visits"?
by donuthole indoes anyone remember the rationale that was used in rebranding "back calls" as "return visits"?.
while on the subject does anyone else remember any theocratic name changes like,.
district assembly to district convention.

Forgot about the ol' rendezvous, I think that's the shortest name change in the Borgs history because it could mean a sexual liaison.
Remember the interview Bill Cosby did on 60 Minutes when It was found out he was the dad of that girl, came out around the time his son was killed, he actually kept using the word rendezvous instead of affair or relationship.

I remember the term "area study" which was the weekly meeting at somebody's house, was also interchangeable with "Tuesday night study".
This was in the 60's.

Some folks on this board act like a child when they write that they don't know what to do when the elders come to visit, yet when in the public eye you can pose nude and have a birthday party thrown by all of your kids which is covered by the press ! And don't get me started on our dear Bro. Rogers better known as Prince . . . !!!

Do you have any churches nearby where you can just stop by and pick up some pamphlets and prayer cards and put them in your mom's mailbox?
