finders keepers?.
what do you do when you find something that doesn't belong to you?
what if it has no name or any way of locating the owner.
Last week I bought a few things at Wal-Mart, paid with a check. The young kid at the cash register did his thing, put the check in the machine, wait for the slip to be printed, etc.... then he said thank you, have a good day and gave me my check back.... bwaaaah... I said, Hey, you should keep it, give me the sale slip instead
A few times I paid something with a $10 bill and the kid at the register gave me change for $20.... I did bring it to her attention.
"crisis of conscience" (4th edition - revised 2002) is now completely translated in french.. for those who understand (or read) french, there are two new chapters of coc on my website :.
http://users.skynet.be/jacques.luc/coc.html.
please note this is made at the request and with the complete agreement of raymond franz.. translation was procuced by a team of five persons : two living in france, two in belgium (my wife and myself) and one in the usa (my dear friend celia, a member of this forum).. one point remains : the book is not yet published, because with face some difficulties to find a publishing house.. jacquesrequest to put on this website two chapters of "crisis of conscience" in french .
Nathan: Jacques has tried almost everything... He could not find a publisher in Belgium, or the Netherlands... he has asked quite a few in France and he is still asking around in that country... There is still Quebec to consider... Or Commentary Press itself, but that would create distribution problems.
Jacques, j'ai imprime le texte que tu veux que je traduise. 11 pages... Cela va prendre un moment !
gerard, forgive me as you already posted this but i want this as a new post.
this is big news because this newspaper is northern california's largest newspaper.
page a15.

Ken - Undecided :
Maybe we should be more concerned about our own natural death and enjoy the only life anyone knows that exist. Having our head stuck up some old men's asses in brooklyn I don't think will bring us closer to the creator.
Well said. Like it a lot.
well, for some reason i was up extra early today, understand i am night person and usually sleep to 11 or so today i was up at 9 and decided to take the dogs out before it got to hot outside.
i hadn't been gone 3 minutes and as i came out of my street onto another i bumped into 2 jw's (females) getting out of their suv.
they asked do you have a couple of minutes.
Wow ! I wished I could have observed this encounter...
the article on the watchtower website entitled "let us abhor what is wicked" comments fairly extensively on child molestors both before becoming jw's and while they are jw's.. here are the relevant paragraphs:for a man who was a child molester before he was baptized, there may be another consequence.
when he learns the truth, he repents and turns around, not bringing that cruel sin into the congregation.
he may thereafter make fine progress, completely overcome his wrong impulses, and even be inclined to 'reach out' for a responsible position in the congregation.
It's pathetic, disgusting. Nothing is said about the horror the children have been through --- but we must forgive the "repentant" sinner --- where can I find the vomiting emoticon ?
ya'll remember my story of how this woman gave me $300.00 to buy my knights of columbus regalia back in june, right?
i got it, this is a pic of me, the incoming grand knight for my council in south carolina, and my dad, the out-going grand knight back at home in the midwest.
dad will be 70 in two months.
It suits you both very nicely, very handsome
last year on july 15th, 2002, my cardiologist gave me less than a year to live.
with the 14 remaining blocked arteries, there was not much hope.
even a by-pass would only correct 3 or 4 arteries and give me a slight lease on life.
Good for you - good for us, the board
Continue to take good care of yourself

Hello Jacques,
I did a Google search, found different sites about the writings of Hans Hesse (in German) but nowhere does it say anything personal about him.
How is the weather in beautiful Belgium?
