mount dora, fla. a convicted sexual predator who won the lottery is now facing a lawsuit.. timothy poole recently won the lottery and was awarded a $3 million check.. now, two boys who say poole molested them in 1996 are suing him.. so, he hits the lottery, wins $3 million, so they figure, hey, we can finally recover and help compensate us for some of the emotional mental abuse, said eric dubois, a legal analyst.. the lawsuit claims the victims, who were just 9-years-old and 5-years-old at the time of the crime, need to be compensated for their pain and suffering that was inflicted upon them by poole.. the damages listed in the lawsuit include suffering from physical pain, post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression.. the complaint also says treatment will continue throughout the rest of their lives.. 20 years ago, why would you ever pursue it?

Went to a non-Witness memorial service

this was a service at a southern baptist church for the father of a teacher at my son's school.

we had developed a friendship with her over the past few years, and i had met her father, knew about his terminal illness, and i wanted to pay my respects.. i have to tell you, it was a better show than the average jw "ceremony".first, lots of personal tributes about the man they were memorializing.

uplifting stories, funny stories, serious stories, describing a real life individual that many in that room knew and were going to dearly miss.. lots of singing!

so recently, several over-righteous ones in the cong were discussing "how amazing it felt when they got baptised".

statements like "how awesome did it feel as you got raised back out of the water?!".

or the classic "i felt so close to jehovah as i came out of the pool"!.

Monotheists my ass!!!
by Crazyguy in

2. bible
we have been taught that the hebrews were monotheists believing and worshiping in only one god, except for those times when they sinned and worship pagan idol gods.

their one true god is yahweh / jehovah.

comparing the book of genesis with older sumerian and babylonian writings what do we find?
