    Thanks for the kind words. Al and Lydia P. She was an actress in Hawaii when the series Hawaii 5-0 was in its hay day. She obtained her SAG card and moved to LA after production quit in hopes to further her career. But Jehovah had other plans for our beautiful sister! She said they splurged on that bottle of wine because they wanted the good stuff and also did not want it to turn vinegary in case in was a long wait! Lol

    I remember my PO years ago in the Beverly Hills Congregation had a bottle of expensive wine he said he and his wife splurged on while visiting in Italy for their anniversary. This bottle set up high on a glass shelf with their wedding picture on the side. It was the first time I had ever seen a bottle of alcohol on display with what appeared to be a beautiful jeweled necklace..I asked about it and was told it was their GT bottle! He said it keeps their conversation lively with hopes of the GT and when will they open it to celebrate this long awaited event! I loved the way that scene played out it my mind. When Rick passed i.sat his urn on the mantle and have a favorite picture of us on one side, a love he wrote me years ago I found folded in a book sets under his urn..I ordered wine bottle jewelry which is a really elaborate rhinestone 'necklace' that drapes around a beautiful bottle of whiskey. I thought it for the appearance of the bottle. Now I too, set in my recliner staring at this commemorative shelf and wonder when I took can open the bottle and pour a celebratory drink. It brings me peace and comfort to think back on my years in the truth and so grateful I am still here.

    Acts 8:26-40. I need all the help I can get. My world opinion can sometimes override what Jehovah tries to tell me.

    Our CO/pioneer school instructor brought this point out this week. He said look at our class. 11 brothers and 25 sisters. Roughly 1/3 brothers which follows this pattern very closely in every congregation throughout the world. He said it will be interesting to see if that trend continues.

    We had a old man many years ago (90), who had his own talent agency in LA when he was in his prime. Bob Hope was one of his many well known clients. He scheduled stars to play special shows for the overseas military and navy. He was use to people catering to him and listening to his fascinating tales which were many. His memory was also declining rapidly...The police were well acquainted with Mr. Levy because he would drive his car, park it, forget where it was and report it stolen. Every. Time. He. Left. The. Apartment. The son tried to tell him to no avail. The police said if the son did not not only take the keys but the car they would file report against son then hold him accountable and face legal repercussions for not taking appropriate action if his dad was involved in an accident. This was the only thing that forced the son into stepping up. I miss Mr. Levy. I look forward to seeing him again

    That must have felt as a gift from heaven. I am sure the generosity was enthusiastically received. An example of being in the right place at the right time. Hope the treatment enriches and prolongs his precious life.

    I know this to be true. It will be 2 years July 23 since Rick died. I would not want to loose power over the remote control. I am getting stronger. I can now make a joke I know he would like.

    I purchased it at 1 am and believe you are being way too hard on yourself. I thought the voice was nice. I've have started many audio books I could not complete because the voice reading was so irritating. This did not fall in that category. Nicely done. I am saving the rest as a treat to listen to and calm my anxiety my flight to Egypt Tuesday. Thank you.

    My son lives in China. He occ. Will loosen his rein on healthy food and buy his daughter her favorite treat that she had never ate until visiting her cousins in USA, Doritos. Two days ago he went to buy them and 13.00 for a 170 gm bag. He told her she was going to have to switch treats in favor of the Chinese favorite chicken FEET MUCH more affordable and surely has to be better nutrition wise than a bag of delicious poison

    I can't help but note the door pulls above the guys head. They look similar to horns.

    As our DT reveals, the pushing and shoving is truly amping up. I never liked fights in the school yard as a child and would hide my eyes with my heart pounding. But this one is different. I'm on the edge of my seat, eyes intent on the match, waiting with glee seeing the principal rush in and take the opponents out. Peace once again restored to the school yard. I recall that feeling of relief through the eyes of a 4 year old. The principal came without warning to most as they were focused on the fight. But a few were whispering ,'Here comes the principal and he looked like a hero to me. I want to feel that wide eyed wonderment of a child again.

    Batter warm up before the big swing. I love it. Gradual.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    Was at the end of my rope in my 2nd marriage--honestly felt suicidal. Remembered my grandmother visiting years ago from CA and that she would talk to my Mom about the Truth. My Mom died at 53 but had mentioned to me that if there was a right religion JW had to be it. My Mom had died and JW's came to my door. I had a house full of company and invited them in. Later they would remark that they "knew" I was a sheep because I invited them in and visited with them and got them cold beverages to drink and made them feel so hospitable in the midst of all my turmoil. If anyone knows Phyllis Bittner, originally from Bartlesville, OK and now residing somewhere close to San Diego tell her I am in the Truth now.Thanks for our time together and planting that seed. Anyway, I read the Truth Book and quickly stopped my study due to my unhappiness with my first marriage. I was a nurse and took care of my present husband who was in for ETOH tx. Began a relationship with him, divorced, remarried and began a life that was always drama filled due to the alcholosim. Left Oklahoma and moved to LA. Had an unbelievable life style change, went from living in the Salvation Army shelter because I was to afraid to tell my family my husband was still drinking and lying to constantly make things appear better to my husband getting sober and starting his own business and even having a yacht slipped at Marina Del Rey and living in a 6000 sq ft home owned by the wealthest family in CA (Otis Chandler)--lots of things I am not able to talk about transpired, I made a cold call to JW's from the yellow pages and Gwen Logan was sent to study with me--6 months later I was baptized.
