STOP IT, THAT HURT, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!! THAT WASN'T VERY NICE!!!! WHAT WOULD JESUS DO???? I'M GONNA TELL!!! HELP! HELP!!!!!

Values have nothing to do with your income...

I definitly agree. On our posts yesterday, You were saying about looting, at least leave an IOU. It seemed from what I read, from those who responed to the looting, we were the only ones who felt this way. Only one poster said she would probably come back later to pay.

So it all goes back to values. HL

Edited to add. OMG No I'm not better than any body who would loot to feed your babies. Please don't jump on me.

U/D he is saying that if you had an abortion, say in 1977, when it was readily available, that in the ninetys, that child would have been a teenager and young adult. Crime rates were down in the ninetys. So my would be hoodlam child, did not break into your house, because I had an abortion. HL

But I have always thought that the poor have kept their babies, and the better off had had abortions.

I typed the above line 5 minutes ago. Am I saying that the poor are the only ones that abuse their children? A middle class family, is just as likely to abuse and neglect a child as a poor or even a rich family.

Is this what they call profiling? Help me HL

What Are You Leaving For the Ones You Love?

by prophecor in

as long as the internet is alive and well, so too are our words, thoughts and ideas.

even after we are dead and gone, places like this will house our thought and ideas until at least, the internet is no more, if not the end of this system of things.

are you leaving for your loved ones and others, a place for them to view your life, your words and your energies, as a means of keeping your spirit alive, even after you have daparted in death?

Aren't I something.

I would leave my parents the web address to JWD, They can read all of my posts, lots and lots of them negative towards them. I have told everybody here feelings that I have never, and probably will never say to their face. HL Thanks for listening.

My daughter 14, was baptized several years ago, but was confirmed last month in the Methodist Church. I have been going on and off lately. The lady pastor, was making a big day out of confirming several teenagers, baptising some adults and welcoming new members. She said I should make it a special day for me and daughter, by joining the church. I said I would probably have to be rebaptised. She said once was enough, knowing I used to be a JW, being baptised in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost. I said no. Don't believe in Trinity.

Well that sure changed things. She said yes I had to be re baptised. And we would have a long talk. She did try for 30 seconds to convince me the Trinity was right. She said "You and your daughter are the same." I said HUH no we aren't. Well you both have the same DNA, I said no we don't. Well you are kinda the same. I said, we need to sit down and talk, when we both have more time. HL

Houstonians being affected by the Hurricane.

by Daunt in

from the different houstonians i talk to, many of them are showing some hostility towards the new orleans refugees.

many of my associates say that many businesses are being bought out and being replaced with new orlean ran businesses, and many other people worry about new orlean's crime history and how that would affect houston.

i'm trying to volunteer at the astrodome hopefully (parents are jws so everything volunteering for a group is terrible) but i was just wondering how other people felt about the raised emotions of the refugees from new orleans and how that will affect other people.

Boy, this is a hard one. People who have no where to go, who have lost everything, shuttled (hundreds?) of miles away from anyone they know, execpt for the people they are with. Relying on strangers for clothes, probably pretty sorry food, even though it is free. Not haveing a regular shower, or feel clean. Sleeping on the floor. Trying to take care of your kids, or having to put up with strangers screaming kids.

When are you going home. And to WHAT? You saw your house was either leveled, or not to be lived in ever again. OMG I can't imagine.

You live in Houston. 5 miles from the astrodome. The poorest states in the Union are sending its poor, homeless (several homeless before) uneducated, people to your lovely state. 25,000 of them!!!!!!!!!! In your own backyard. They can't keep them prisoner. Its going to be hard for all of these people to co-exist in a closed in space. They don't have anything back home, So why not just make Houston my new home. You are probably going to see more begging on the streets of downtown. There is always the bad element of any group, so they won't be allowed to stay at the Astrodome, So to make ends meet, they will break into your homes and businesses.

I don't know what I would think. But just 15 miles away, we have an army? camp. We are getting 400 refugees. I am already going through closets getting clothes for them.

I would want people to give me the benefit of the doubt, if I was hurting like these people are.

Look at Carmel. He is taking in a couple, into his home. He is a truly caring man, and a wonderful wife. HL

PS. It does bring back memories of when Castro let prisoners out of jail, loaded them up, with thieves, and prostitutes, and the sick, and sent them to America.
