when my grandmother died, she left a small amount of money to me which will pay off my school loans, and leave me with some left over for a downpayment.

My bf and I are working with NACA to qualify for a home loan. I researched them online and couldn't find anything negative. Has anyone heard anything negative about them? Here in the central AR area, the market hasn't dropped as much as other areas. CountryGuy

Best American Idol finale EVER !!!!!!!!!!!

did you watch wasn't it great !!!!!!!!!!

This finale was much better because they let the two finalists chose which of the contest songs they wanted to sing. Last season, the song was more geared toward Jordin than Blake.

I agree with Simon, this year he doesn't care one way or the other who wins because they were both great talents. (Although, I did think that David Cook will do better as this year's Idol.)

Adultery of a JW

i have a question for jw's.

i have a problem with a jw .

its been going on for a year now.

With two witnesses to back up this claim, even if she denies it, the elders can then take action against this scumbag.

If your husband refuses to get involved, then you will want to find some kind of corroborating evidence to support your claims. Phone bills, voice messages written statement by husband etc.

Without any additional evidence, and with only your word against her word, they will not take action unless she has a prior history of such behavior and would likely leave it in Jehovah's hands.

Hurt, Vinny is completely right. If you both talk to her Body of Elders, it would be worth your time. If it's just you, then it would be your word (a non-witness) against hers (a witness). They're going to believe her. Especially the elders here in Arkansas, if they can avoid addressing an issue, they will.

I hope it all turns out well for you and your husband. And, I hope this psycho chick finds someone else to torture.

I spent the morning at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock watching a great friend receive his degree!

Then spent a good part of the afternoon helping him celebrate! (Why do I enjoy doing things that the dubs would frown upon so much?)

being black and being gay are 2 seperate things, one you were born as, the other just developed.

JG, for me, being gay never "just developed." I was gay from my very earliest memories. I'm not saying that everyone is that way, but I can promise you the majority of gay people had no choice in the matter what so ever, especially those of use growing up as dubs.

I enjoy our traditional biblical values in this country Mariusuk.

And, I enjoy the fact that our country was based on religious freedom and we are made up of sooooo many different religions, not just those based on the Bible.

Junction, I'm very sorry that you had a bad coming out experience. I understand where you're coming from a bit better now. I do still respect, even though I disagree, with your opinion.

but you can see where this slippery slope is headed.

Actually, I've never accepted the "slippery slope" argument.

First, it's... "Well, next people will have multiple wives or husbands." Look, honestly, if someone is into that, they're going to have it anyway. And at least they get the recognition of ONE of the spouses. Right now, I don't have that.... and I just have one husband.

Then, it's... "Well, what's to keep someone from getting married to their dog?" Oh, please! No thinking person is going to honestly believe that could actually happen.

Marriage is about LOVE first and foremost, but it's also about certain rights. Rights that can't be overturned as easily as a power of attorney or contested as easily as a will. It's about joining your life, completely, with the person (gay, straight or bi) you love most in this world.

Junction-Guy, I totally respect your opinion, but what about love is bizarre? Because, like I said before marriage is first and foremost about LOVE. If I didn't love Wayne, I never would have committed my life to him. All I want now is for my country, that I love, to not treat me like a second-class citizen and allow me to marry him.
