Habitat for Humanity?
by og indoes anyone know anything about this organization, aside from the fact that jimmy carter is somehow associated with them?
i'm considering doing some volunteer work for them, but don't know really know much about them.
i believe they are "faith-based", which i'm not necessarily keen on, but they get people into houses and bypass government red tape, which i do like.

Thank you for the support
by Erica ini can't find the words that would express how grateful i am for all the support, not only for all of you to back me on the dateline show but for my trial as well.
i don't think i would have had the courage to go through the trauma if it wasn't for all your prayers and encouragement.
dateline was a huge help for many and i know this because i have recieved quite a few calls, one from a current jdub who wants out for the safety of his 16 month old baby, i was so excited that he lifted the veil and saw it for the pure truth that it was.

He Loves Me After All!
by COMF inthis is a story about the heart-pounding rollercoaster ride of buying a house and how i saw the proof that god really does love me.. some of you, especially newer ones, probably don't know that when i left the organization in 1987, i left still believing that the organization was the true religion, which meant, since i couldn't stay in it and keep my sanity, that jehovah didn't want me.
after 12 years of trying as sincerely as is possible to get his help with what was wrong, i gave up and quit, and literally prayed to jehovah saying, "it's obvious that you don't intend to help me; therefore i can only assume you don't want me.
fine; have it your way.

Please help, please???? (batting eyelashes)
by outnfree ini was so happy to read the following quote by janh in another thread: about logic vs reason[ did jan mean emotion here?
], i think a factor may well be that fewer women have high education.
it is a worrying trend that women still do not choose education in 'hard sciences.

What's the difference?
by Scully induring the course of the dateline segment, it was said that manuel beliz denied "molesting and raping" erica, but admitted to "inappropriate touching".. what, if any, is the difference between molesting and touching inappropriately??.
just curious.
love, scully

Happy snakes & simple pleasures....
by thinker inthe other day at work i saw two harmless brown water snakes in a pool of water.
the pool was fed by two large pipes that allow a stream to pass under a road.
the water drops a couple feet from the pipe to the pool.

Intelligence Quiz
by DakotaRed innever mind i.q.s, here is a link to an intelligence quiz that ought challenge some, while i expect some of us 'postates to ace it.
hint: it relies on common sense a lot.. i scored 10 out of 11 myself and kick myself for missing the one i did.
some may have already seen this, but don't spoil it for the current dubs that i expect to fail it miserably.

JW Kids - More Frightened Than Most?
by Englishman inive recently been in contact with a couple of ex-jws that i knew in my childhood.. what has surfaced is the amount of fear that we experienced as young children when we were involved with the witnesses.
i accept that children often do develop irrational fears as part of growing up, but what i am talking about here is a deep-seated fear of being harmed.. many young children that i grew up with in the witness religion were of an unusually nervous disposition.
i recall how when i was first taken to meetings that i found the whole experience somewhat sinister and strange.
