  Did it bother you that they taught, "miss a meeting and you'll fall away?"

  how many times did we hear that if we dont attend meetings we will leave the truth because satan will get ahold of us?

  that always bothered me.

  i thought, "if my faith isn't able to stand alone what good is it?

  Remember the saying, "Seven days without meetings, makes one WEAK!"

  I Was scared to death over that, I was often sick and in the hospital, and missed lots of mettings. I just knew i was going to be destroyed at the BIG day!

  100 people could type the same thing into Google, and get different results! One person can type in the same search on different computers, and get different results!

  I got to hear Ray speak at a special assmbly days once back in the mid, late 70's, he came across as very loving and caring. A little earlyer I heard his uncle at the same type of event, he was all business, not compassionet at all.

  I met Freddy at the meeting, I was working as stage attendent/security. He was not friendly at all!!

  The Governing Body doesn't use the 2/3 majority vote, right?! At least not for the appointment of its members.

  They want the sheeple to believe that everything is by unanimous vote, there by making it look like the spirit is really directing things!

  When it comes to something as sick as a jd meeting, if the outcome is to Df, they always say it was unanimous. All that takes is for a discenting member to throw his arm up and give up!

  I built my first computer from a kit I ordered from Popular Science. I stayed up nights building it. Thousands of tiny connection, lots of eye strain. It did very little. First packaged computer was a Trash 80 (TRS 80) from Radio Shack, Then a Timex Sinclar, next a Digital, then an early Apple. The thing all of these had in common, the word computer in the name. If you worked on them back in those days, there were at least a dozen or more brands, different hardware, OS, and software. I had dealings with most if these companies. Apple was the most arrogant, self important org, I ever had dealing with, outside of the WtBorg. I met Steve Jobs sevral times at tech events, he was worse, than his tech and hardware people. I HATE all things APPLE!

  I like Android phones and tablets.

  But since MS has got its act together, and put out a very good OS, and Nokia (Now MS) has put out some very good phones, plus many others compines are as well. I have 2 Win phones, and I am going to get a new Win Tablet this fall!

  But when all is said and done, the best of all of them, is the one YOU like best!

  I had a small Texaco station, for about a year, full service, free air for everyone. Problem was, most people went across the street to the self service station, to save 2 cents. Now let it rain, and i had more customers wanting to buy 1 gallon of gas, so they didn't have to get wet! I got to asking them to go where they normally went!
