richard rawe from soap lake .wa by way of background info.
was df a number of years ago and has quite a story to tell that borders on the unbelieveable ,but true .
richard has held bible conferences in soap lake for many years now, called and told me that a former jw ,a playright showed interest in his story while attending one of his conferences in soap lake.. the playright harold james called richard an invited him and his wife to the play as above ,exspenses paid plus a get together after the play .. richard also mentioned that barbara anderson along with 4 texas attorneys will also be in attendance at the play .although richard is diabetic and hard to understand because of a number of recent strokes he presses on and is in the process of arrangeing a conference in detroit city wa.on may /04 re a debate between greg stafford and dr. robert morey on the trinity and expects an attendance of about 1500 .. in conclusion hats off to richard the lionheart take care all don .
in the young people ask section, the question is posed: "how can i come out from under my parents' shadow" then you get two quotes from supposed elders' kids, identified only by their first names.
one says he is only known as his elder father's son, whereas the other one feels pressure to live up to high standards being an elder's son.

it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.
it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .
There is nothing wrong with being assertive! big difference then being aggrestive.You can make your point without getting pysical with anyone,or kicking their ass.Just a thought.....Try it sometime.....I did, and it worked to my surprise.Your still standing up for yourself,but your being the better person...(not that I have not kicked some ass my self in my days)
