  Would you have stayed if essential changes were made?

  when you began doubting the wts did you decide that there was no remedy and you had leave them, or did you say if they change on such and such points i will stay on?

  what were those points that if changed you would approve of the jws and stay in?

  for me it was not an issue because i wanted to see many changes and they wouldn't carry them out.

  Better answer - not if God is going to keep lying to those poor men in NY and making them look stupid.

  No, I've lost whatever it takes to have faith in anyone claiming to represent a god, whether it's a man, woman or book.
  
  I may be wrong of course, but I can no longer kill myself trying to find out.

  isn't one of the major learning points in galatians being that christians are no longer under the "law"?

  after finding christ, people wanted to put themselves under the law again, instead of under grace of christ.

  stupid reasoning, but there it is nevertheless.

  Annie, I actually got and related to your analogy. From this I get:
  
  Never join a cult
  
  and
  
  Never make the first or third out at 3rd base.
  
  Well done Annie.

  BC - what a positive outlook to come up with a valid reason to find gratitude in a bad situation. I have to say I'm horrified that this man hit you and threw you into a door and of course more you didn't detail. But to look on the bright side of a bad situation and to come to realistic conclusion is so mature and healthy. Thumbs up to you sister!

  kia spectra 5 or hyundai elantra gt hatchback?

  any experience with either of these cars?

  they both drive great and are much more affordable than the honda and toyotas.

  Thanks for the input folks. Consumer reports seems to like some to the Hyundai's and that is why we took a chance on the Santa Fe which has been great so far, but only gets 20mpg. It's AWD and a 6 cylinder

  BUT the cars I don't know so much about. Reading user reviews of both the Kia Spectra 5 (which I drove and actually liked) and the Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback have been very very positive.

  The resale value is supposed to be not good, but while at the HONDA place on Monday they were attempting to sell their Hyundai's for the same as their Hondas. For instance they had an 05 Elantra with 12,000 miles for $14,500 and the 06 new is $15,500. I quizzed them hard on this with no answer as they had already dumped on the Hyundai's resale value.

  I try out the Elantra tonight. New 06 GT Hatchback, with leather, CD, Power everything, alloy wheels, 5/60 bumper to bumper, 10/100,000 power train, 7/unlimited rust and 5/unlimited roadside assistance - for $13,393 So the whole time it's being paid for the car will be under warrantee.

  But I really did love that KIA Specta 5

  How about Kia's and Hyundai's in general? Have you owned one?
