      Oh no, I thought that was what this meant, but I'm so sorry to hear I'm correct 😔 😔 🥺😞

       

      May Jehovah remember you Jerry, and thank you for letting us know he is in Jehovah's arms!

      Well, he lived a long life, now he can rest until he is awakened.

  2. Just saying: there is no reason to conclude brother Lett will become an angel.
  3. True to a degree, but after giving birth the mama cow eats the after birth, showing they have the capacity to digest animal protein.

      Gerty. This just sailed me back in time

      A good woman is hard to find,
          and worth far more than diamonds.
      Her husband trusts her without reserve,
          and never has reason to regret it.
      Never spiteful, she treats him generously
          all her life long.
      She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,
          and enjoys knitting and sewing.
      She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places
          and brings back exotic surprises.
      She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast
          for her family and organizing her day.
      She looks over a field and buys it,
          then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.
      First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
          rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
      She senses the worth of her work,

      is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
      She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth,
          diligent in homemaking.
      She’s quick to assist anyone in need,
          reaches out to help the poor.
      She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows;
          their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
      She makes her own clothing,
          and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
      Her husband is greatly respected
          when he deliberates with the city fathers.
      She designs gowns and sells them,

      brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
      Her clothes are well-made and elegant,
          and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
      When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say,
          and she always says it kindly.
      She keeps an eye on everyone in her household,
          and keeps them all busy and productive.
      Her children respect and bless her;
          her husband joins in with words of praise:
      “Many women have done wonderful things,
          but you’ve outclassed them all!”
      Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.
          The woman to be admired and praised
          is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
      Give her everything she deserves!
          Adorn her life with praises!

  6. Several movies by that name. try reading the book.
  7. Excellent, now if you learned about paragraphs I would have read it all. as is I never got beyond, " I buy organic produce."
  8. That wasn't a manditory military requirement. That was dubbed selective servicr and anvolved a selection of draftees based on their classification, 1-A was most eligible, 2-A only slightly less. I was 3-A and was differed due to having dependents.
  9. What is wrong with this picture?
  10. Time to get excited, Chicken Little has reported "The sky is falling,The sky is falling!!" must be true.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was adopted by JW relatives when I was seven years old. Came from a very patriotic family during WW2. Like a lot kids I found it very difficult to give up the flag salute and the holidays.
    Met my ‘new’ grandmother in Auburn WA when the JW side of the family was seeing her off to Bethel, she was accepted to play the organ for WBBR. (You can see her briefly in the video “The New World Society in Action.”) Next time I saw her was at the Cleveland International Convention in 1946. She introduced me to brothers Knorr, Franz, and Covington, of course I didn't understand who these people were, but it is a fond memory.
    After several years I started making the Truth my own which allowed me to be baptized at 14. I was appointed as a Bookstudy Conductor at 16 and entered Pioneer Service at 17. In the long run I am very grateful to Jehovah that I was adopted by JWs.

My Hobbies & Interests

  • My Interests
    I was a carpenter by trade but after a few years I advanced to Construction Superintendent, a position I kept until the building slump that followed the Word Trade Center disaster. After that I helped my Wife with her janitorial work and I enjoyed running a small engineering business.
    I have worked on a number of RBC projects including being “Superintendent fo the day” once week on the Puyallup Assembly Hall remodel. On weekends I was taking the lead in the Issaquah WA KH project. Also enjoyed a two week gig at Patterson NY, had my Wife been there I would have been glad to stay there permanently, unfortunately we had family obligations and it wasn’t to be.
    Out side of the Truth and construction my interests involve airplanes, boats and computing. I have private pilot license. We owned our own airplanes and we flew as a family over most of the western states. In later years health issues hindered flying and we switched to sailing and had many sailing adventures on Puget Sound. I have a minor knowledge of computer drafting, project scheduling and at one time had three different pages on the internet.
    Age and health issues forced my retirement in 2007. We elected to move to the Oregon coast where we enjoy a great view of the ocean and the association of a very warm congregation.
  • My favorite books
    THE BIBLE, after that who knows, I read one to two books a week. I prefer biographies, historical novels, good adventure stories.
    How about John LeCar? Can't beat The Spy That Came In From The Cold for exposing the dilemma that spy craft brings. Have you read Len Deighton? Wow the Ipcress Files or Bomber which took up both sides of the bombing raids in Germany. There are so many, from the Diary of Anne Frank to Hucklebery Finn.
    I enjoy books. I DON'T MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS! TOO DANGEROUS. I liked The Lord of The rings, upon hearing this a mature brother said "The Society cites fantasy, however it is probably not a good idea to tell very many that you read Lord of the Rings." ... I hope I didn't tell anyone I read Tobacco Road.
