Just as movable type and the printing press allowed the common populace to get out from under the Church ages ago, the internet allows easy dissemination of knowledge to potential and existing JW converts. Knowledge is the biggest enemy of the JW organization. That's why they don't want anyone digesting anything but WT sancioned material.

NY homosexual HS and Brown vs Board of Education
by Adam inthe supreme court in brown vs. board of education of topeka unanimously declared that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal and, as such, violate the 14th amendment to the united states constitution, which guarantees all citizens "equal protection of the laws.
" a year later the court will order states to begin desegregation "with all deliberate speed.".
isn't segregating schools into hetero and homo in direct violation of this ruling?

I know people are going to have different opinions and even experiences that directly relate and thank you for sharing. But my question is this: Is the existance of this school constitutional? This may very well be a good idea and I am sure that it will save a lot of kids a lot of grief. But the Supreme Court of the United States said that "seperate educational facilities are inherantly unequal and violate the 14th ammendment." I don't see any way around it. The constitutionality issue is much more important than any one person's opinion because that issue is what will determine whether this school continues to operate or is shut down.

What should replace twin towers?...
by Brummie in...a memorial to the victims or thriving business offices?.
would building offices show a disrespect for the victims or would it be a good idea in the sense that it shows the usa are picking up where they left off and not being deterred by the terrorists?.

I like the idea they've got now with the "paths of heros" showing where certain companies of firemen and police came in and with the whole sunlight shaft set up every 9/11.
My first reaction, and I still think it's a good idea, would be to rebuild things exactly the way they were with one exception: Make the towers one floor higher.

Also, simply being a privately funded organization or service provider doesn't allow you to discriminate at will. Several male-only clubs and organizations that never recieved a dime of government money have been shut down or made to accept women as members.

if it's a school that does not receive federal money you can set up a school of any kind you want
New York City has done what many of us would have considered unthinkable just a few months ago – announced plans for the first taxpayer-funded, all-homosexual high school.

Don't get me wrong, I rejoyced when the supreme court made it's decision on the Texas sodomy law. I think you should be able to do whatever you want with whomever you want in your own bedroom. But I don't think that a tax payer funded high school for whites, blacks, homosexuals, short people, cross dressers, or whoever is constitutional.

I Am Changing The Word "Worldly" To Normal....
by minimus ininstead of making the difference known that anyone not a jehovah's witness is "worldly", i think we should simply refer to them as "normal".

Adam
Great idea. Call a spade a spade. Worldly is normal. The normal people should call them "witnessey."

As a rabid skeptic, halloween doesn't trip me out at all. I've got this cool grim reaper costume that I've been unable to wear out for the last two years. Both years my girl's daughter ended up going with friends' parents and I had to stay home handing out candy. I'm aching to get out there and scare some kids.

Pick one.....The lesser of two evils.
by Adam inif you had to be born into a religious family and stuck in it 'till you finally broke free, would you rather it be mormon or jw?

Okay, it looks like the Mormons have it hands down. How 'bout this one:
Born a JW or born a tomoao-throwing Amish?
I'd have to pick JW on this one. It's a lot harder to get out of being Amish I immagine.
