  Hey CD, And thanks for the enlightenment!

  Milk before Meat. I remember a family that had studied for 7 months. I think there were 7 in the family, 6 were getting ready to be baptized. The week befor the CA they were to be baptized at, it was announced that Wendy was dfed. Well this family had become friends with Wendy and her parents. Wendy (poor kid 17) starts sobbing uncontrollably, but her dad made her set there though the humiliation, crying until the meeting was over, then sent here to the car! Inhushed tones, people were stopping expression their sadness, to the family, just like Wendy had died! All along mom and dad new family, were listening, and started asking questions! An hour later, new family walked out, never to return. Wendy, poor girl was put out of the house two days later, and she was 3 months pregnant. No job, no friends : ( nowhere to go. The by now x-new family, saw Wendy setting at a bus stop, with a suitcase and a few stuffed animals, crying! X-new family stopped and picked her up, and took her to live with them.

  Last time I heard, the family treated Wendy like family, her baby like their granddaughter. They paied Wendys way to Georgia State Tech, in Atlanta. She married the x-new families oldest son, the one that never even started to study.

  It been 16 years since I last heard anything. But its good to know one good ending!

  Don't you just love it!

  They can take a shorty story, and write a wt article, giving all kinds of background information, about it, when there is NONE!

  I don't remember what the story was but mom in law, insisted on reading it one day. When I said, they are making that up, she looked like I might get struck dead!

  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  by thedepressedsoul in

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  I take a T-Mobile hotspot to ca & da, and JwFacts is what I always name it. I set it to open, once, and it had 9 others on it most of the dad!

  I named it ApostatesAreHere, once. And I could see people looking around, even a couple elder types were really looking around! They may not have been looking for my hotspot, but I think they were!

  yesterday jw knocked on my door, i was sitting in the office with the window right next to it, they couldn't see me & i decided not to answer.

  they stood there for what seemed ages & as i watched something hit me.

  they were here only because they were on the territory.

  The last city I lived in, had a police woman, everyone called, peaches. You could smell her a mile away. I was at the movie one night, and started gasping for air, as the peaches smell hit me. As I was stumbling for the rear exit, I collapsed in the doorway and crawled out into the hallway. A couple of guys helped me get outside to fresh air.

  Leaving the 40th floor of an office building, 2 floors down, a few women got in, about 30 seconds later, I was in the floor gasping. They thought I was having a heart attack! Totally blacked out that time! Woke up to EMT's, with a breathingtube down my throat!

  My Xmonster, got this stuff called "Xclumation", In busy Atlanta rush hour traffic, she pulls it out and starts spraying, I managed to get off the road, and out of the car before blacking out!

  Some purfum's just make me sick, or feel like my lungs are on fire. And guve me headaches.

  White diamonds should be marked as a chemical wepon!

  Thankfully only about a third of purfum's cause me any problems. But just in case, I start getting away from any of it, if I smell it!

  WoW!!!!! In the last go around, about 25 or so long time friends of mine were sent off into the wold blue yonder! most went out the door as SP's, a few went to other countries. most have left the SP ranks, and found their way back home, to entry level job's, and living with family, or friends.

  At this rate, I won't know anyone left at Bethell, before long!!!

  I have had purfum troubles for years, and hardly ever said anything about it. There are a very few purfum's, that can put me in the floor, gasping for air in seconds. Some of the worst ones I can't even smell until it's too late. If I am at the kh, I set close to the door, so as to get out quickly. And I have done that a number of times.

  The ones that really get me, will ware a paper dust mask, then set right next to sister takes a bath in purfum, and be just fine!

  So Microsoft made a laptop - Surface Pro 4 / Surface Book

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  microsoft definitely seem to be undergoing a revival and are coming out with some cool tech.

  it's good to see them turning things around and keeping apple honest.. the holo-lens looks fantastic - much better than full vr headsets by providing augmented reality instead (imagine 3d minecraft projected on a table or aliens running round your living room to shoot at).. more practical though is the update to the surface tablet and the surprise release, the surface book laptop / tablet.

  yeah, it's confusing - one is a tablet that becomes a laptop and the other is a laptop that becomes a tablet.. i promised our eldest a laptop for his high-school graduation and to use now he's starting university and took him to the apple store a few months ago but the macbooks i was leaning towards weren't available at the time.

  I have been a diehard MS fan for a very long time! I used to go to MS events all the time. The one this week has to be their best one of all times! They used to get so into the heavy technical info, that most people at the events, were so bored. I remember setting watching the bored press types, and just normal people, thing they really should do two part events! One just for the true techies, who want to know all the specific, of how, and why. Them the one just for the product introductions, and demonstrations, with just a dusting of the spec's.

  I still love the techies, geeky stuff, but that was a neat bunch of rabbits, MS pulled out of the Hat! I wish I could have gone!

  I have used the Lumia Windows phones ever since they first came out, and I just love them! I want the Lumia 950XL, but will keep my Lumua 1520 for now, it's still a heavy hitter, and has an beyound Awesome camera! I also have a Lumia 640, I use when I am working!

  Long Live MS!
