  Independence Day and African Americans

  2. friends

  a black friend of mine will not celebrate the 4th of july.

  he feels it's a mockery since black people were still slaves when the country gained its independence.. i wanted to hear what other people think of that.

  that's the first person i've ever heard mention it, but i never thought about that.

  This hit a little too close to home

  the following appeared in the newspaper this morning:.

  a 17-year-old highlands school student was in jail thursday on charges that he had developed a hit list, naming several fellow students he supposedly planned to kill.

  highlands police say they arrested andrew douglas quintero, a junior, without incident on wednesday and charged him with 10 misdemeanor counts of communicating threats.. in an interview thursday, highlands school principal jack brooks indicated he wasn't sure whether the student intended to carry out the threats, but said he wasn't taking any chances.. "whether this was done out of humor or it was an expression of anger, i had no idea," brooks said.

  I Look Death in the Eye

  i have always had trouble breathing.

  in track i was great for a quick burst of speed in the 50 yard dash, but couldn't move enough air in and out to keep myself going for the longer runs like the 330. i had sleep apnea really bad, with the classic symptoms where i stopped breathing for a while and then suddenly snorted myself awake gasping for breath.

  for most of my life, surgery wasn't an option due to my jw lifestyle and employment choices (cleaning business = no insurance).

  Need to vent... advice is welcome

  by SlayerLayer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was 13, all of the other kids in my congregation were taking home school, getting them out of the "bad association" in public school.

  they talked me into it too.. of course, at 13 trying to get me to actually do the schooling was a feat that no one could master.. i worked for a brother in the cong.

  full time, and never finished the schooling.. so...flash forward.

  Final Observations

  by Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm an observant person.

  i became that way back in what i call the 'wallflower years' of my life, when i could very easily blend into the woodwork of any room i walked into without anyone looking up.

  i became a student of human nature and watched how people interacted, and that study has come in handy at many points.. sometimes, though, i don't realize when i'm opening a can of worms.

  #1. become a baptized, dedicated member of the jehovah's witness organization.

  Wow this board is busy

  by onthefence in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess that might say something in and of itself.. thanks to everybody who replied to my last post i just got through reading the responses.

  i have to say i didn't clarify my last post very well as i was pretty emotional at the time.

  i would definately fade out of the congo slowly if i could but the thing is i'm still living at home so it would be very hard to do.
