it's getting on to almost two years since the events of september 11, and it is striking how little we know about what happened: .
we don't know the real names of any of the hijackers.. we don't know what countries they came from.. we don't know who planned and organized the terrorism.. we don't know who financed it.. we have no idea what actually happened at the pentagon (but i know a boeing 757 didn't go through this hole).
normal video tapes of and from the pentagon building, which should have shown what happened, have never been released (except for one, which poses more questions than it answers).
Realist....Wow...lots of reading there!
I will read it and get back to you later on it....the website sort of says it all though, doesn't it...
disinformation.com? I guess in the end it depends on who is giving you the disinformation, we little guys at the end of the food chain probably will never know.
But, I will read it with an open mind.

What about Pearl Harbor? Unclassified documents prove that the US manipulated the attack to enter WW2. Didn't 2500 people die there?
What? Show me where you find these unclassified documents. I would like to see some credible info on this.
You know, this stuff just makes me physically sick.
There is information on the hijackers that brought down the towers. Most of them were from Saudi Arabia. I will try to look up this and post it back. The information is out there, you just have to dig it up.
Just because we don't have ALL the answers, doesn't mean something sinister is behind it. I think it is absolutely criminal to accuse the US government in conspiracy to murder thousands of its own citizens. Osama himself is on tape confessing to murdering thousands of Americans, along with other terrorist acts in other countries. What does it take for people to believe that Osama was behind 9/11....it makes me think that even if he were captured and admitted in trial that he was behind it, people still would make up some conspiracy theory blaming the US government for his confession.

but we got the new harry potter book!.
woohooo!!!!!!.
i was amazed how many high school and college aged kids were there....jk rowling certainly has a gift.
I did stand in line one time 4 hours to meet Shirley Temple and get her autobiography. Perhaps some people think that's crazy...
Treshappy....your kidding, right!?! What I wouldn't give to have a personalized copy of her autobiography! I spent many lazy weekends watching her movies over and over again when I was a child. I idolized her! You should hang on to that copy, might be worth a lot of money one day!

my sister-in-law's husband was raised as a jehovahs witness in north yorkshire and was educated at home by his mother along with his 5 brothers and sisters.
i remember many years ago when it first became common knowledge, many brothers and sisters thought that this method of education was ideal for witnesses who wanted to remain separate from the world, but all the kids from our congregatation had a state education.
i guess my question is, was home education only limited to my in-laws husbands family, or were any of you educated at home?
It all depends on the parents. If they can not be strict taskmasters with their children, then the kids will suffer.
I knew a woman who homeschooled her two kids. She was divorced, a pioneer, held a few jobs, lived in a half finished house, and was a little nutso if you ask me. These kids ended up doing their studies around meetings and service, it was a shame. They ended up back in school for their final year of high school to get their diploma. Watching how she put her kids second next to selling magazines really made me sick.
Then there are the success stories of National Spelling Bee Champs who were homeschooled. Evelyn Blacklock, a 14-year-old eighth-grader who was home-schooled in Tuxedo Park, N.Y., was the runner-up in the National Spelling Bee in 2002. And, there are many others.
I have kids who don't listen to me to clean their rooms, let alone do algebra with. I could never do it, they would have to put me away somewhere very quiet for a very long time..... needless to say, my respect for teachers is very high..

this is my final and very last post after this i will not return here as someone here made something clear to me.
my faith in god and jesus christ cannot and i will not tolerate others who do not believe to attempt to stumble me or change my mind at all.
my faith stands strong and true and none of you can do nothing to change it.. gods word say "do not cast your pearls before swine".
Santa waving Bye Bye to KGB....looks like a bag of coal for you this year!

a modern creation story
in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth.
and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
I second that.
Does this story make Simon "the most high God"?

Maybe it appeals to your average 8 year old child, but I prefer my kids to read something with literary worth that stretches them, not poor grammer and unimaginative prose.
Did you read any Harry Potter books, Pete? I am a 45 year old woman with exceptional grammer and I find the "Potter" books to be filled with imaginative and clever reading for both children and adults.
Eyebrow:
I pre-ordered the book and received it yesterday via FedEx. My daughter and I are on page 75 at this point. We just can't seem to put it down. Fun reading!

i know more persons that are depressed than i know that are not.
whether a person was a witness or not, so many are affected with depression.
i've read here that many jw's were on either regular medication or silently accepted their depression with much prayer and tears.
Depression is not a "one size fits all" type of illness. There are many kinds, many causes, many treatments, many different responses to these treatments.
So true, Blondie.
I personally do not suffer from clinical depression. I have my up and down days, but they can never compare to those that suffer every waking moment with this terrible condition.
Mrs. Shakita
dad is now at a rehabilitation center, getting physical therapy.
he is walking fine now, and his voice is normal too.
he is still having some swallowing difficulties, but i would say he is 95% better.
I'm glad that your Dad is feeling a lot better.
When my Dad spent some time in a rehab/nursing home after a major back operation, the staff and doctors in that center were some of the best people I have met. They truly care for their patients and were always there for my Dad when he needed them. I hope that your Dad will get the same wonderful care that my Dad did....it makes all the difference.
