  Even when in - I would bring up this study up to others.

  Then ask the question - do JW's cause the mental disorder or do they attract those with a mental disorder?

  Looking back - I never did get an answer.

  Thanks for posting this babe!

  I guess it is the culmination of everything "non-witness." Higher education, job growth, advancement, personal fulfillment, etc

  Thanks for all the Kudo's

  May all of you have continued success in all that you do.

  Ya...I use "Frick or Fricken" a lot...My mom doesn't even seem to like that I use that expression.

  Unfortunatly I do cuss more now that I'm out than before. Not too often, but when I get really mad, usually something having to do with the religion, a swear word will slip out....

  Ya... He did do a pretty good job on the rebound from Jessica. Especially in comparison with her, who was linked up with John Mayer?! I don't understand that....

  no soliciting!.

  (unless you are someone under the age of 12 selling something sweet, like cookies or candy, at a price not to exceed $2.00, for your scout troop, sports team, or church group.

  i?m sympathetic to child slave labor, i like kids, and i like cookies even better.).

  Thanks Shera-that was a really nice comment!

  Knowing what we know and realizing how controlling they are and the lies from the GB and WTS,we have every right to speak up and throw questions at them and put them on the spot. Never know this may,make them think and others who watch the video.
