  Why do they only want Polish writers??????

  LOL! Alright....German, American, Irish, Austrialian and maybe even a few Italian writers....but that is where I draw the line!

  Thanks waiting! I appreciate it!

  I did contact Stephen Bates, he asked how much I pay contributers? I told him I was a stay-at-home mom and could only offer him a few bucks and my sincere gratitude! He thought I worked for Beliefnet!

  After I clarified, he responded and said that he doesn't "submit articles speculatively, only if requested or commissioned. And on a case like the current one in the US, a two week lead-in is no good because too much will have changed. Thank you for thinking of me though."

  Hygh,

  Bobsgirl and I are going to go down early Friday morning.

  Your little reply reminded me of a joke my friend and I would say to each other...

  Don't!.............Stop!...........Don't!........Stop!.....Don't!....Stop!....Don't!...Stop!...Don't stop!Don't stop!Don't stop!

  I submitted an email about the Dateline story along with links to many of the newspaper articles. If others could do the same thing, maybe it would arouse more interest.

  Remember, Beliefnet is a multi-faith forum that reaches millions of people around the world of every religious faith.(Sound like a JW, don't I?) If someone wrote an article about the Dateline story before it airs, we could definitely count on more people viewing it.

  I know there are some of you out there that have far better writing skills than myself!

  Your family doesn't have to be "flesh and blood". Your family can be the people who love you unconditionally, the ones that are there to listen and offer support when needed. Family is there when you have get-togethers, have a special day you want to celebrate or someone you can call when you just want to vent or chat about the weather. Family loves YOU for YOU!!! Your family will have a deep respect for you and will always love you the same whether you decide to remain a silentlamb or choose to ROAR!

  That is what a family is...and you are my family!

  Wow, do I love my family!...you all know who you are!!!

  thinking about d8ta's excellent post reminded me of something my husband said the other day,'don't these wt monitors ever doubt the wt after reading all this stuff?

  ' surely there are some who, after reading pages and pages of info that cannot be written off as 'evilpostatestuff'their consciences must trouble them .

  or do they really think the org will save them at armageddon, not god or jesus?

  No woman could be cold enough to stomach all of this and still think they are in God's org.

  You obviously don't know my mother!
