  Evil . . thanks for the info, and you are right about staying cool about this issue. However, I do believe that visitors to this area should be well informed as to the realities of venturing into a predator's domain. I live on the beach and spend a lot of time in the water;it's my favorite place to be, but I remain aware. And I can honestly say a great majority of people that go into the water have not a clue as to the potential dangers. It's only because of the many drownings that we had the last couple years that officials put up new signs and a new warning flag system on the beach.

  I hope this thing doesn't get out of hand. A local told me yesterday that what we need was a
  "shark harvest ". I'm glad he walked away after he said it cause we would have argued.

  Saturday, June 25, just about 10 miles up the beach from where I live in Florida, a 14 year old girl was killed by a shark as she swam about 100 yards offshore. ( please Google for story ). I e-mailed the local paper, the Daily News, and lambasted them for saying in the headline that the girl was 250 yards offshore, thus making it appear to readers that she was bitten because she was so far out from shore. They actually downplayed the incident using this girl's good name! The S. Walton Co.( where the attack took place ) officials closed the beach to swimmers, however, the adjacent county, Okaloosa Co. did not . . .and the attack took place practically on the county line !

  Monday, June 27, about 10 miles due East, in Bay County, from where Jamie was killed on Saturday, a 16 year old boy who was fishing in waist deep water about 60 feet offshore was struck by a shark on his upper thigh and had to have his leg amputated . . .he is in critical condition as I write.

  This young man may very well still have his leg if the county officials had acted appropriately . . but the word on the street down here in " Paradise " is that it will never happen because the officials are in bed with the real estate and tourist opportunists.

  And this is the Bible belt . . .

  Comments please.

  I think the world is going to keep on the same trendmill that it's on until we come very close to depleting all our natural resources and then the world wars will break out. Then we'll have 'hell on earth' all over the world. Keep your guns and supplies at the ready, your grandchildren may need them.

  According to the e-mail I got from Joel Encardio, the director of the"Knocking" project, no one on the staff is a JW, however, his mother is a Witness. And, he says they have JW's as consultants so that the film will be accurate in its protrayal of the org. Ummmm. They also have medical, historical and academic people who are consulting who are not JWs.

  I just e-mailed the film's project director and asked him to contact Randy at www.freeminds.org if he wanted some real life stories. I know when this subject first came up a few weeks ago many people from JWD contacted him.

  I think that they are really going to try to push this film; they're looking for volunteers to " screen" the film locally; will have uncut DVD's for sale and are looking to market worldwide.

  In rereading the e-mail I got from the " Knocking" film project director, Joel Encardo, I think this film is going to lean toward the pro JW side instead of being non-biased. He says " . . .(the film) will be affirming to Jehovah's Witnesses."

  It seems to me like they are going to take a very superficial look at a very big problem.

  Just checked my e-mail and found info from the folks who are putting out the " Knocking," PBS special sometime in early 2006.( I signed up to be kept informed.) If you are not acquainted with this film project go to www.knocking.org. They claim to want to give an unbiased view of JW's.

  Has anyone else received an e-mail from them?
