  mount dora, fla. a convicted sexual predator who won the lottery is now facing a lawsuit.. timothy poole recently won the lottery and was awarded a $3 million check.. now, two boys who say poole molested them in 1996 are suing him.. so, he hits the lottery, wins $3 million, so they figure, hey, we can finally recover and help compensate us for some of the emotional mental abuse, said eric dubois, a legal analyst.. the lawsuit claims the victims, who were just 9-years-old and 5-years-old at the time of the crime, need to be compensated for their pain and suffering that was inflicted upon them by poole.. the damages listed in the lawsuit include suffering from physical pain, post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression.. the complaint also says treatment will continue throughout the rest of their lives.. 20 years ago, why would you ever pursue it?

  asked debois.

  Went to a non-Witness memorial service

  this was a service at a southern baptist church for the father of a teacher at my son's school.

  we had developed a friendship with her over the past few years, and i had met her father, knew about his terminal illness, and i wanted to pay my respects.. i have to tell you, it was a better show than the average jw "ceremony".first, lots of personal tributes about the man they were memorializing.

  uplifting stories, funny stories, serious stories, describing a real life individual that many in that room knew and were going to dearly miss.. lots of singing!

  mars hill elders: news leaks to non-christian world discredit jesus a newly formed board of elders at mars hill church, in a letter friday, condemned news leaks, sought to reassure the flock and warned that public airing of internal allegations and concerns would be used by enemies of the faith.. mark driscoll: senior pastor at mars hill church has taken an extended focus break but controversy swirls within the mega-church.

  (photo: crossway books/ap).. the letter seemed to carry a triple message: keep the faith, keep quiet and we will take care of it.. pray that the watching non-christian world would not be given the opportunity to discredit not only our church but the very gospel of jesus: pray that jesus will be glorified through all of this, said the letter, sent five days after senior pastor mark driscoll announced he was taking an extended focus break.. the letter follows thursdays leak of a critical letter signed by nine pastors at the seattle-based mega-church.. the nine excoriated the church for lack of transparency, and the transition of a high volume of people off staff.

  VERY short day at the Arlington/Dallas International Convention-My Observations

  okay, some good takeaway:.

  i have never been to a convention quite like this before.

  a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

  this is the followup to this thread:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/276119/1/well-its-march-and-the-college-answers-are-coming-in#.uyjdu_ldv2e.

  the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .
