looking for anyone from the st. cloud congregations (i was in the north one)...or surrounding areas.
oh heck, anyone from minnesota is fine!
Ravyn,
Do the 'nicks' - "swamp-thing" and "Frosty" mean anything to you? I may have met you a few years ago on the net and emailed you.

let's face it.... the only reason the d.c. sniper was caught was because his pride--arrogance, really--got out of hand.
he bragged about another cold-blooded killing that he had made a month ago.
what his stupid ass didn't realize is that he gave a break to competent officials who were looking for any opening.
They keep implying that there is not a connection to any outside group, that they acted alone. BUT I remember that is what they said about the "Shoe Bomber", Richard Reed, too. Then they found the Al-quada links that Reed was involved in. I hope these two snipers are NOT later found to have links as well. I would hate to think of an organized major effort in several cities at the same time.
i'm a 24yr old non-witness who has been dating a 23yr old witness.
we met through a mutual friend.
when i met him i thought he was sweet and kind and the kind of guy i could see myself with for the rest of my life.

it seems that no matter how successful i am in life (family, career, social, money, etc...) it doesn't matter to my mother......her comment is always something like "when are you going to do something about the truth".
i get so agrivated that i want to scream!!
i have explained to her that i no longer believe the governing body to be directed by god - she knows i don't believe it is the truth any longer - yet every few months she says "when are you going to do something about your life" - it's like she's talking to a recovering drug addict just coming out of rehab with no job and nowhere to live.....do something about your life..........she just doesn't get it.
You might try a search on this site for threads dealing with the WT and the UN subject matter. Download and print out this info. When you know this information well, then begin to ask your mom "questions" about this information. Ask her to find out the "answers to your questions" from the elders. They will not be able to provide the answers you need. Keep asking deeper and deeper questions about this subject. Maybe this behaviour will get your mother to begin to think for herself instead of just accepting what she is told as the "whole truth".
I'm sure that others on this board will be able to help you to "ask the right questions" to make your mom think for herself.

District Overbeer,
Don't be so hard on a "newbie"!! She was NOT getting the responses that she deserved with her orig post which was in the "Announcements" forum.

Replies: 6 in TWO DAYS - that is not a heck of alot for a post of this importance to someone just new on the forum.
I did a "bttt" today and she only got one more reply to raise the total to a big 7.
Save your "knee jerk reaction" to yell at someone who really does deserves to be accused of "spamming the board" and leave the sincere newbies alone. They'll learn the board rules in time. No need to scare them off before they even begin.

I think that this thread deserves more comments. It is probably being missed because it is in the "Announcements" and not on the "Friends" forum.
