September 11, 2002 is soon approaching. On that day, please wear
red, white and blue to work or school to show your support for those
who lost their lives on 9~11~01 and to honor the heroes who worked to
save them and the families left behind. At noon your time on
September 11, 2002, no matter where you are or what you are doing,
stop, put your hand on your heart, and say the Pledge of Allegiance~
out loud or to yourself~ and say a prayer for our nation. If all of
us do this together in every time zone around the world, we will
have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding us.
Please keep this going to your friends and family. By September 11,
2002 hopefully enough people will have read this and will join
together in unity.
God Bless the U. S. A.

Often times we see posters who are former jw talk about how the choices of being a jw and this is not to dog them , but to shed some light on the plight of being a jw child. myself like many here grew up as jw kids and for many of us those years were just tramatic and painful
I got this email this morning from a coworker and i was thinking if this email catches on esp in Schools HOW hard it will be for the most helpless victims of the WT system
the little kids- perhaps the High School jw can fend for themselves, in fact when i reached HS is was cool not to salute and pledge the flag - so it felt so good seeing other kids who really didnt care during the pep rally to stand and pledge,
but for the little 2nd and 3rd graders, etc life will be hell- having a teacher who is former miltary or who is very patriotic is a little jw kis worst nightmare.
my wife had a teacher when she was in the 3rd grade who said NO STUDENT OF MINE WILL STAY IN HERE AND DISRESPECT THE FLAG
the kicker was my wife was the only little black girl in her class so not only was she dealing with racial issues now she got flag issues-
Lady "C" is almost 40 yrs old and when she talks about it - the pain of each day going to school knowing that you would be asked to leave the room and have fellow kids snicker at you and poke fun at you still hurts her till this day
as she says to now find out that all you believed was for being Loyal to God turns out to be a joke -
she talks about the friendships she could have developed if it were not for the fact that she was the oddball man(woman) out in school
so when i got this email i could only think of the little jw kids who come Sept 11 will catch HELL AND FOR NO FAULT OF THEIRS
THIS ORG IS SICK
WHEN YOU consider in 10yrs they will be saying WE NEVER TOLD YOU GUYS YOU COULD NOT SALUTE THE FLAG
is so sad
