They Push You In,,,,Then Punish You If You Go!
by new boy inthey brag about the fact that they the don' t baptize their babies because "how can a baby 'know' what religion it wants to believe in the rest of it's life!".
but a 14 year old does?.....they put so much presure on their children to get dunked, that if your not baptize by 18 years old there is something really "wrong" with you.. so the poor kid does it, just to get everyone off their backs.
legally a minor can't be held to a contract if they are under 18 years old and why?

here is a link to the us census which shows that approximately 26% of the us population graduates college.

OMG They are doing commercials now!?
by flower ini just finished watching martha stewart and after it went off there was a set of commercials before the news came on and i swear i just saw a commercial from the christian congregation of jehovahs' witnesses!.
it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.
it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .

Why I don't Have Children

especially if the choice is to not have children.

Good bye, Dial Up ...
by compound complex ingreetings, friends:.
getting in a few last words before the new switcheroo at 8:00 a.m. i'm assuming that there's an instant turning off of the old on the landline and a turning on of the new.
it will be a revelation [the good, not the wt kind] to watch and hear youtube et al at high speed.
