the price of gasoline sure is getting high, in my area it is about $1.65, i guess not too bad compared to other areas.

i'm not too worried because my camry gets pretty good gas mileage and i don't usually have to commute too far.. however, i think this summer it may reach over $2 in many areas.

i just wonder how this will affect summer aux.

Kingdom Hall Spankings
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.
