Why do they shun only the DF/DA?
by ozziepost ini've been musing to myself - just wondering about the position of those who get df or who da - they are given the shunning treatment whenever they come across those good old christian dubs.. but those ex-dubs who simply fadeaway can come and go.
semingly they are ignored.. both "types" (classes?????
are non-active dubs, yet the treatment is reserved for just some.. seems strange.. or is it just me in upside down land?.

restoring my plaster walls - any suggestions?
by RevMalk inwhen i first bought my home, i had planned on putting drywall over the lathe and plaster walls that exist now.. after thinking it over, i decided to restore the plaster to keep the home original.
that and the fact that the cherry molding would have to be removed on the first floor and i really don't want to do that.. anyway, i have been scraping the paint and paper off the walls and the plaster is actually in really good shape aside from a few areas.. the worst thing is that in a few spots the plaster is not attached to the lathe any longer.
the plaster is ok, but you can push it in and out from the lathe.. does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix that problem without ripping the plaster off?.

This old house has some great renovation tips... home depot also sells some good books on doing it I've done it many times but it's pretty complicated better to get someone who knows how to do it to help you at least...!

New Case: good for WBTS
by La Capra inin reviewing the "new news" out of the courts this morning, i came across this case: doe v. corp. of president of church of jesus christ of latter day saints: 2004 wl 1846365 utah app.,2004.
aug. 19, 2004. the church won, the basic premise was that the church owed no duty to the children to warn of a "high priest's" past sexual abuse activities.
"church did not have special relationship with church "high priest" giving rise to duty to warn of his alleged sexual abuse; "high priest" was not church agent, employee, or member of clergy, and abuse did not occur on church property or during church-sponsored activity.".

I wonder if the judge (s?) was a Mormon? Seems a bit silly to have a Mormon make that decision but I'll bet thats what happened!

What are the long term effects of having your life turn out to be a lie?
by sleepy inwhat do you believe are the long term effects of having your life turn out to be a lie?.
can a person really be brough up a jehovahs witness and live that life for 20,30,40 or more years and walk away unaffected?.
are the effects similair to say a person who doesn't know they have been adopted and finds out only as an adult their "parents" are not their real ones?.

obviously this girl isn't a close friend of your daughters or she would know her name so having her just point the girl out shouldn't cause guilt because she's helping this kid! However this is school you don't want to be a snitch so call the principle let him get everyone who was in the locker room together at the same time so that there's no appeaence of one picking this girl out tell them that it was overheard by a teacher and they are going to interview one at a time to find out who is having this problem then when your daughter goes in she says "it's the girl in the blue shirt and black shorts etc" they may also find out in private interviews that this is happening to other girls (and boys) they did that in my school and found out more than you would BELIEVE three teachers got fired and like seven parents got arrested it was unreal! and i was in a small school!!

If i believed in god (which i don't) I'd say it's his spirit guiding them to make you an elder so you could bring down this cult that is ruining gods good name... luckily i don't believe in this stuff!
