Yes that's right....lovely Jiffy Lube effed up my engine and it is TOAST. I'm waiting to hear back from the district manager, whom I'm sure I will have to call myself. I am anticipating them to fight it, even though a garage has put the blame completely on them.
Has anyone had experience dealing with this type of situation? Any tips on what to do or what not to do would be greatly appreciated :)

10 000 steps a day CRAP.
by hamsterbait inso i decided to lose weight.. i reckoned that half an hours workout with weights a couple of times a week, plus swimming three times a week was a balanced schedule.. butnoooo - this is not good enough.
we should be walking 10 000 steps a day.. do you realize how much time that will take?
even at one step every second, you are talking about walking for two hours!!!

You could be just like Rumsfeld, carry a pedometer and then get one of those desks that you stand up at all day, walk everywhere. sounds LOVELY! :/ Where did you read we're supposed to walk 10,000 steps? I'm looking a dropping some weight as well. Damn alcohol calories.

No to beat the Un thing to death, but something stinks here....
by isnrblog ini still can't understand what they would have to gain by being a un ngo.
some say status and others say they could gain monitarily, things to be investigated.
the staus and influence theory does make some sense.

I would tend to agree with Edmund Dantes. Having an NGO status helps to further open doors in other countries, further their influence with the law here in the U.S., gives them access to increased information and adds to their "ligitimacy" as far as the rest of the world is concerned. I would tend to think that it's a simple one reason answer as to how they benefit, and at the same time based on the information available I find it hard to believe it's part of some wild WTBS conspiracy to take over more assets. I certainly don't put anything past them, but so far there is nothing to indicate their motive was anything more than increased access to political world.

Death is a Terrible thing...
by KW13 inhas it sunk in for you people that your going to die yet?
i'm still avoiding the thought but it lurks in the back of my mind, i'm aware someday i've got to address it - like many here i didnt expect to live this far in this system, so i haven't any plan for life as of yet.. death frightens me.
i cannot sometimes watch a film with death of a character in a tragic way - there one moment with family/friends and a life and then not...i read the story about challenger the rocket that exploded and how the crew onboard that shuttle may well of been aware they were going to die.

I think death as a reality probably is not a terrible thing. The fear that we as humans create and maintain throughout our lives of death is most likely much worse. And I agree with the sentiment Challenging posted earlier, I have to quote from my favorite movie, Braveheart (it's a little cliche, but true): "Every man dies, not every man really lives." Because of the cirumstances when I was young I never even thought I would live to this age. It hit me when I turned 25, and I think since then I've started to and continue to make plans to make the best out of this life I feel right now, rather than dwelling on the "what if's" of questions that no can ever fully answer about death.

Are Witnesses really persecuted?
by Robert7 inyou know we hear it all the time.
witnesses are persecuted by satan, and this is one of the signs of the 'true religion'.
they love to quote wwii and the concentration camps, but really only 5,000 died versus 6 millions jews.

totally self inflicted! it's like the guy who had beer goggles on all night who wakes in the morning wanting to chew his arm off rather than moving it out from under the beast he slept with the night before and waking her up. JW's have religion goggles on and anything they see is under the veil of "persecution." And I love how everything bad that ever happens is satan's fault. If that's true than "satan" also hates alllllllllll the people in "his world" because the rest of humanity has the same problems as dubs.

So basically the work around could be to get the word out about the site BEFORE it's live, hopefully have a large response before the WTBS catches wind of it, and this info can be circulated by whomever and wherever, anonymously. And doing so we get as many names and locations out there as possible before it has to be pulled down. Is that the consensus so far?

I am trying to check into the legal aspect of things now. It would take a lot of financial resources for someone named on such a website to track down the actual poster, however I wonder if the WTBS Legal department became aware of it if they would take action to shut the site down based on defamation of character for the organization as a whole...

Has anyone come across a website that people can report and publicly name JW's who have abused them? SilentLambs has the option to report someone and you can check states where reports have been made. However no names are publicly disayed. Could this be due to potential legal problems? I would think a site that names names could be benefical for victims who want to speak out as well as people who are still active JW's to help protect children. Any web or legal gurus out there tha know the ins and outs of what it would take to start a site like that?
