he walks like a king or a panther at prowl.
OK, as a followup, I am disabled and have a disabled parking placard, but I don't use a wheelchair. I parked yesterday in the parking garage at work and parked in one of the parking spaces that are wider, specifically for those with wheelchairs. I was a bit outside the lines, too. I got a ticket from the security staff!
LOL, I thought of Terry and this post.

I had a disabling injury two years ago and went from able-bodied to disabled overnight. I didn't realize until then how fantastic the handicap access laws are. So while the old man may have been rude and even mean, I understand where he is coming from.
in the 1960's and early 70's there were wt dramas on subjects of morality sent to radio stations to fulfill their required block of religious broadcasts.
the familiar voices are there in the dramas.
do you remember them?
I remember them. We had the reel to reel tape recordings at the time and my father had the job to take them down to the radio station. They were really boring, as I recall.
i heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.
i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.
don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.
I think it is more about disaster preparedness.
Are there any updates to the story? or is it over yet?
i hope that one of the friends will post the letter soon.
i heard that on 3/27/2017 a letter with new instructions about the accounts at the circuit conventions was released.
the letter seems to adopt many of the corrections that had been suggested here at the forum, among other things during the accounts report they will be no mention of the per capita and the amount due is going to be released only to the elders.
At the last SAD day I was in attendance, they announced that they had 6000 excess from the last assembly, but the elders voted to send 3500 as a donation to the WT, leaving only 2500. Then they announced that the circuit had a deficit for the day because there had not been enough donations to cover the costs that day (about 9000). Duh, I thought, then why did you send the 3500 to the WT?
with so many aging bethelites being "laid off" after years of volunteer service, what hope do they have of collecting any social security retirement?
i ask because i recently learned that my mother will not receive any government retirement benefits because she did not work enough to collect the 40 credits required.
this got me to thinking about bethel volunteers.
publication, that is?.
i just found all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial in storage.
i enjoyed studying it, as well as make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine.. our thinking has changed, of course, but, back then, did you have a wt publication you especially liked?.
I'm with Outlaw, I prefer a PUB to a pub.
But seriously, the AID book and the Greatest Man book. The All Scripture Inspired book wasn't bad either. I remember seeing a non-JW Sunday School Teacher running off xerox prints of pages from the Greatest Man book for her lessons each week.
genesis 3:14 – “then jehovah god said to the serpent: “because you have done this, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild animals of the field.
on your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life.”.
the old gb and gb 2.0 differ on this matter.
All I can say is that the artwork in the old literature was a lot more interesting than nowadays.
O fur Pete's sake
