  the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .

  http://gma.yahoo.com/fla-woman-says-church-scientology-ripped-her-family-165522676--abc-news-topstories.html?vp=1.

  this was posted on yahoo news, informing people about a woman that claims her family has been ripped apart by the teachings of scientology.

  sounds like the situation for many of us here with our families still in jw land.

  Do you think the reason Scientology gets the press is because they have many high profile celebrities, and the wt only has the Williams sisters, and the deceased Michael Jackson? Or just no one has come forth with their story about shunning?

  Barb Anderson & Bill Bowen got the medias attention quite a while ago about the pedophile problem, but I think it was at much personal cost to them, correct?

  from a new wt article (may, i think) about predicting the future.

  religious leaders sometimes predict tragic worldwide events to warn mankind and gather followers.

  Do your research before you move. Find where the jobs are, what they pay, how the school districts measure up. After you decide on a couple places, could you take a couple long weekends to check them out? You don't want any regrets.

  It must have been a brother!

  i was listening to a conversation of jws recently about how trusting they are with each other and how out in "the world" you have to be ever so careful that you don't put down your purse or wallet for a minute otherwise it will be stolen.. i entered the conversation with an experience that one of my close friends had.

  (true story) he was in a public place with a wallet with significant amount of cash and bank card, credit card, id, etc.. somehow he lost or misplaced the wallet, panicked of course.

  he went to the police, cancelled all his cards and thought it was gone for sure.

  Delusional.

  I was ripped off at a KH in the 80's. A woman came in and sat behind me, I had a child that had to potty NOW, and I stupidly forgot my purse in my seat. It was gone when I got back, and so was the woman. I found out that no one knew her, but some had watched her take my purse, but didn't want to offend her by following her out to make sure she was taking it to me. They just assumed! IDIOTS! She got everyhting, including my car keys. My husband, a non jw, couldn't believe there was a building full of these goofballs!

  LisaRose, I think you are going to have to be blunt, as you know they don't respect the no soliciting signs. They claim they are not soliciting. Vanderhoven7 has the right idea. I feel sorry for you. You see the witnesses once every 2, ,maybe 3 years around here. And I am rarely bothered.

  The vacation pioneering is not new, but did they actually say that being punctual brings honor to the image of the governing body?!!!! NOT JEHOVAH???? SERIOUSLY? That is just a little mind blowing.

  my mother broke her hip last week.

  she had an emergency partial replacement surgery friday night.

  we don't know how she did it as we have caregivers with her at all times, she may have fallen while in the bathroom for a few minutes.

  You were gracious, that speaks volumes about what a lovely person you are. You have to feel sorry for them, don't you? So many are probably trapped in.
