Got the latest congregation scoop on JW rapist Curtis Thompson....
by jimbob ini had to go over to my mother's place today to do a little computer work for her, and she filled me in with what's been happening in her congregation since jw curtis thompson was arrested for rape.. she told me a sister told her that another sister thought that the police were trying to frame curtis for the charges, and that he didn't do anything.
and then another sister who's been a jw for years and years told my mother that she had felt sorry for curtis because he was trying to get his life together and wanted to go to college, but he was told that if he did, they would inform the class each day he was a registered sex offender.
when i heard this crap from my mom, i about went ballistic!!

Go to College ...Now!
by metatron inin doing my income taxes, i noticed that the fed.
government is getting more generous with tax credits for education.. even without itemizing deductions, you can still reduce your tax liability significantly by going to college.. the hope credit can give you $1500 bucks and some state income taxes may also contribute to this worthy cause.. i know it's expensive - and the tax credits only pay a little - but with the internet in place, going to college has never been.
easier or more convenient.

Informal Witnessing
by jimbob inwell, i was on the road this morning when my wife called me from her cell.
she proceeded to tell me she stopped to get coffee when this asian woman kept trying to talk to her in broken english.
since my wife couldn't understand her, she politely nodded and said, "that's nice" and started walking to her car.

Michael Jackson biography on cable VH1
by franklin J ini caught the biography while flipping channels last nite and was surprised how much air time was given to the teachings of jehovahs witnesses and speculation on how it may have impacted the later decisions michael jackson made in his life.
it portrayed jackson the child as a victim of --not only the rigid teachings of jehovahs witnesses; also an abusive father ; dysfunctional family and the demanding rigors of a successful child performer; no childhood at all.
bill bowen was interviewd and the life of a dedicated jw was accurately portrayed.
