Some thoughts on the message of doom
by JeffT inone of the recent threads on the talk about the hailstone message got me to thinking.
the problem with putting out a message like that is what to do when nothing happens.
i have to think that somebody will be asking that question.

Sorry Pale for how your old friend treated you. One thing you said so much for the new personality. My thinking is he does have that so called new personality. The personality of the wt cult. Very sad how he felt your life was bad since you left the cult. The cult mind can't wrap their minds around life can be good after leaving the cult. It's all about us against them mentality. You stood your ground and took the high road. Very good example to follow. Thank you for the story. Still Totally ADD

Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?
by minimus inas an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.
he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.
he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

In all three congregations I served as a elder I knew of several cases in each one. And I am sure the three other congregation I was in not as a elder had the same problem. Still Totally ADD

Terry's Editorial on the Pledge of Allegiance
by TerryWalstrom interry's editorial on the pledge of allegiance_____.
can one child in a thousand actually define the word or give the meaning of "allegiance?
" can you--without stumbling around about it?give me a moment of your time, will you?first, in medieval times, wealthy landowners allowed peasants to cultivate their property as long as these pitiful souls made a pledge of fealty or allegiance to become a soldier for that lord of the manor if he needed to go to war against some imagined enemy.

Caves I seem to remember a Awake maz. with a real spooky picture of a demon on the cover page. We hated showing it to the public. Still Totally ADD

Tax question: How are illegals paid at farms, lawn care, construction, etc?
by Bad_Wolf ini was wondering how exactly is it that illegals can get paid and be under the radar?
a business takes in cash.
at farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit.

It's been a broken system for a long time. Many jobs for them come from framing, construction and slaughter houses. Jobs most in this country will not do anymore because it hard work. This broken system has been supported by big business for a long time. My question is who is more responsible for this problem the illegal immigrants or the businesses that hire them? Even with normal home construction it very common to be paid under the table for your work no matter who you are. If everything was above board the cost of a new house would skyrocket. There is a unspoken underground economy that has been taking lace for along time. Still Totally ADD

Funny when you said black pudding I was thinking chocolate pudding. Lol we had alot of that at the convention.
Don't like any supernatural stuff where ever we go we are first to get there. I turn atheists but still am part of a UU congregation but most here in this congregation are atheists. The only thing I will tell other people about religion is it's a snare and a racket. Still Totally ADD
