Jeannette, I have old family ties to the South. It is very interesting to read what you say. I have never heard that before. I never heard of white "folk" being slaves.
If you have the opportunity to talk with this fellow again, I am very curious about his story and what part of Tennessee he was from.
You were considered "black" I believe if you had up to 1/8th blood in you. I don't really have very much Irish blood in me so have not read up on any of their early American 'dis'adventures .

Nathan Natas ... Would you encourage anyone to eat at Ivar's? I have eaten there and sometimes it is fantastic. The last time, not so good.
Has it been okay lately?

Hey Cha-Ching, Maybe I did see you! lol
Sunday, I remember the last day, Sunday.
We had 7 extra people staying in our house. Three came a week before so we could do the usual. Visit Disneyland, go to the beach, go shopping, Hollywood etc. There were 5 of us.
There were 4 brothers who were night guards, so they slept and enjoyed our house during the day.
The 3 were my mom's old girlfriend from the mid west and her husband and son. They were big time farmers. Their oldest was a missionary, somewhere.
I don't remember the wife's name. The husband yes. His name was Jim H. The reason he married his wife is (as the story goes told to me by my mom) was because she was pregnant. She was sleeping with 3 different guys, so when she found out she was pregger's , she went to each one, and the first one that said he would marry her, got her and the soon baby. Anyway, they were staying in the house too. We had 3 bathrooms, so it wasn't too bad sharing.
My Dad had an official job assignment at the convention, that he needed to be early for, so cars were going out at different times, and coming back at different times. I really did not eat much or sleep much or drink much water, during those 8 days.
I started feeling ill at the convention on that last Sunday. I was with my friends RF who is now an Elder in Florida and my friend LP who left the JW's decades ago. They helped me to a cool spot out of the stadium, under a tree. I sat on the concrete curb. RF got me some wet paper towels for my face, neck and head and a drink of water from somewhere. The rest of the day was a blur until the end when it was all over. Then there was a brother on a flat bed truck trying to sell the left over potted plants that were used for the stage decorations. He said, "Step right up here and get your petunias. Only $???. Step up and buy this plant. This plant was right next to Bro Knorr as he was giving his talk". The guy had a funny sense of humor trying to get rid of those plants. lol
I will not be going this summer or any other summer. My days sitting in the hot sun, listening to men droning on and on about invisible beings doing magical things for JW's, is over.
I don't remember any food at that convention.
My Dad had a cooler full of ice with chilled drink cans for those who were assigned to help him. I was too young to help and I don't really like to drink pop.
School started in a week. It is funny in LA back then, Since all the national newspapers would be advertising the latest back to school fashions, kids in LA would have their mom's buy them new clothes too. Clothes to wear in most other States in Sept like wool pleated skirts, would be worn that first day of school, then discarded until Dec and Jan. Sept. is way too hot in LA. It is not the weather for 100% wool pleated skirts. lol

Thank you everybody. There were some gems in there. You guys made me laugh! Thanks for sharing the misery. lol
Jam in a Chinese restaurant and you were like alien's but your fellow JW's said, Oh what a great witness that was! lol
Aunt Fancy. I am glad you added to your waiters tips.
HowTheBibleWasCreated . That is funny a worldly lady saying hallelujah at the end of your Uncle's prayer. lol
I have only associated with JW's and many are way cheap.
SarahSmile ... No. I didn't bend in double with my face, skimming my soup. I think that looks unsightly. I held my head up... And obviously I had my eyes open, possibly (me??? lol ) looking around,
with my eyes, not moving my head or shoulders, that is why I noticed the waiter and maybe that is why he thought everything was normal and he could just start talking. It was so very funny.
All together for this grand occasion, there were 8 adults and 7 children, all to be covered by a $2.00 tip. lol

the JW 1914/WWI connection doesn't make sense
by Magnum injws always touted wwis beginning in 1914 as evidence that the kingdom was born in heaven in that year.
i was told that since satan was cast out of heaven, he started stirring up trouble on earth - like wwi.
but theres one problem with that wwi started some months before oct 1914 (the month when the kingdom was supposedly born).. i asked jws about that in the mid 1980s, and i was told that satan started wwi before oct 1914 to divert attention away from the birth of the kingdom.

I started this thread because for some stupid reason my mind went back to 1985. We were at a restaurant. A brother we were with made a big deal that the meal was on him.
So, okay. There's a first time for everything.
We order.
His grandchildren had never seen shrimp before.
Someone from my side ordered the shrimp.
The food came.
Everyone was served.
The grand kids are gawking.
The Bro said, Let us pray.
All of his family held hands together.
LoisLane who does not pray like she is sticking her whole face into her soup bowl, notices the waiter is back, and is asking questions.
The waiter is oblivious to the bro praying. lol
It was hilarious.
The bro who is hosting, his wife is loud, very loud, and bossy, very bossy... and demanding.
After prayer, they had that waiter running for this and that.
AND when we finished, the brother who is paying, his wife made a big deal about leaving a tip.
She held up $2.00 and looked at her grandchildren as if to say, actually, I don't know what... lol
Zany words of wisdom she was trying to impart.
Sorry if you guys are not laughing like I am. Maybe you had to be there.
And yes, we did let them go ahead of us and either my ex or I went back and left an appropriate tip.
