Convicted JW sex offender arrested again....
by jimbob inthis article appeared on komo news here in washington state.
even though the article doesn't mention him being a jw, some of you may recall an article from the news that was posted here on jwd several months ago that told how he was released from prison after serving a term in prison for raping 4 women...one of them with a broomstick.
while in prison, he became a witness, and i ended up meeting his grandmother out in service in 1988. she encouraged me to write to him to give him "encouragement", which i did.

Children's Sports....The New Epidemic of Violence!
by jimbob ini was given the december 8, 2002 awake from a relative, and that is the title to an article inside.
it goes on to relate how violent some parents and coaches have become and gives some examples of parents who have been violent in regards to their children's sports activities.
while i do realize that there probably are instances of violent parents.....i'm sure these instances are relatively few and sporadic.

Got the latest congregation scoop on JW rapist Curtis Thompson....
by jimbob ini had to go over to my mother's place today to do a little computer work for her, and she filled me in with what's been happening in her congregation since jw curtis thompson was arrested for rape.. she told me a sister told her that another sister thought that the police were trying to frame curtis for the charges, and that he didn't do anything.
and then another sister who's been a jw for years and years told my mother that she had felt sorry for curtis because he was trying to get his life together and wanted to go to college, but he was told that if he did, they would inform the class each day he was a registered sex offender.
when i heard this crap from my mom, i about went ballistic!!

Informal Witnessing
by jimbob inwell, i was on the road this morning when my wife called me from her cell.
she proceeded to tell me she stopped to get coffee when this asian woman kept trying to talk to her in broken english.
since my wife couldn't understand her, she politely nodded and said, "that's nice" and started walking to her car.

i had to do a little work on her computer today and she had just gotten the cd and asked me to load it for her.
