Two Stories BOTH TRUE - and worth reading!!!!

STORY NUMBER ONE Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago . Capone wasn't Famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy
city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.
Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was Capone's lawyer For a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal
maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time.

To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the
money big, but Eddie got special dividends, as well. For instance, he and his
family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the
conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire
Chicago City block.

Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration
To the atrocity that went on around him.
Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly.
Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education.
Nothing was withheld. Price was no object.

And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to
teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was.

Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't
give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example.One especially troubling day,

Easy Eddie "found religion" and soon after, reached
a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify the wrongs he had done.
He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al
" Scarface " Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some
semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob,
and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he testified.

Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely
Chicago Street . But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had
to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay Police removed from his
pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from
a magazine.

The poem read: "The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power
to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still."

STORY NUMBER TWO World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant
Commander Butch O'Hare.

He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the
South Pacific .

One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was
airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had
forgotten to top off his fuel tank.

He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back
to his ship. His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he
dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.
As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned
his blood cold; a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward
the American fleet.

The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but
defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time
to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger.
There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet.

Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation
of Japanese planes . Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in,
attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and
out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until
all his ammunition was finally spent.

Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip
a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible,
rendering them unfit to fly.

Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction.

Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier

Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return.
The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed
the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact,
destroyed five enemy aircraft.
This took place on February 20, 1942 , and for that action Butch became the
Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Congressional
Medal of Honor .

A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home
town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today,
O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man.

So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some
thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of
Honor . It's located between Terminals 1 and 2.

SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?

Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son.

Anyone currently attending a Kingdom Hall in Stockton CA?

i just googled kingdom halls in stockton ca and it appears there are several.

anyone go to any of these halls?

i was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the witnesses in this area.

zeroday*

I don't doubt that Expanded-Mind it just hasn't been my experience to see an elder ever question the society much less leave over questions...think of it really most elders I've ever known have had little education and dead end jobs where else can you raise to a position to have literally life and death decisions over others. My last PO was involved in a Supreme Court case involving the draft in WW2 and all thru the years never thought even once to question anything from the society every new light was eagerly embrased and accepted as was with evey elder body I've ever known...

I would not hope to much Expanded-Mind I was a JW for 28 years originally from Southern California to Tennessee and I can tell you I have not so much as ever seen an elder or two question the society...but good luck...

Why do you believe they would be liberal and open to learning the truth about the organization than any other Kingdom Hall on earth. A cult is a cult they are all cut from the same cloth. Their minds are controlled they are the same as every other JW on earth other wise they wouldn't be JW's...

so i decided to look up an old witness friend on facebook.

he accepted my friend request but a few hours later he sent me this message:.

it seems to me that things with you have simply gone further astray.

zeroday*

Nitpick against the faithful slave and their interpertations...Jehovah's holy spirit operating with them...

NOW that's funny, and if the Slave says "Black is white" I will believe them...what a joke...why would you want him as a friend...
