  My 19 year old "DF'd" niece tried to "kill" herself over a "married man"

  by booker-t in

  a while back i mentioned on a post that my 19 year old niece was "df'd" for having an affair with a married man.

  she is "obsessed" with this guy.

  he is a guy at her job and he is in his 40's with a wife and three kids.

  Take her into your house.

  There is something "missing" inside of her that she feels that she needs this "man." Her "father" sounds like he's been emotionally away from his daughter, and this is fueling her need to be with this "man." Keep her busy, both physically & mentally. Get her out & about - whether that's going hiking, beach, boating, school, etc. At 19, there are plenty of other men who will find her worthwhile, sexy, fun, ...and they will not be married, will not lie to her (well, at least not as badly), and not have 3 kids. This "man" isn't going to leave his wife, too much alimony, child support, loss of social status in his family, etc. This "man" just wanted a fling.

  Tax cheats

  The tax cheats are "no news" to me. Perhaps the cheats should have read the Borg's web-site blurb about paying one's taxes was per Jehovah's instructions. As far as fraud in the congregation, I know of "brothers" ripping off another "brother." I know of an electrician who was just studying with some "JWs" and was almost bankrupted by them. He's a goat now.

  London Candidate

  I don't know what her motives are for talking against the JWs. But, way to go!!! She might be trying to distance herself from her past so that her political rivals do not throw it in her face. Wish I was a Brit, I'd give her my vote.

  well for starters i do have a prescription for cannabis (insomnia / depression).... why would i want to take pharmacuticals for insomnia/depression?

  i mean, what if i get prescribed/addicted to a pill, that one day i might not be able to afford?

  (if you/i grow cannabis it's more/less free)... now the moral issue... who is more likely to beat the shit out of their kids?

  "Society has the sense to see that the costs are born by all when one over indulges and hence to protect the weak and to protect the balance of community, society enacts smart laws."

  True, but you're forgetting the "Golden Rule"...

  He who has the Gold, makes the Rules.

  High, victorian women produced little threat to Society. It was a way to "get rid" of the nagging wives. But, society could not have a bunch of high "blackies and immigrants."

  Social Stigma is your answer

  In the 19th century, drug use by Victorian, upper class women was in vogue. Yes, your great, grandmother may have been a coke, weed, or opium addict to relieve all sorts of women ailments. When lower classes (immigrants, blacks, jazz singers) started to use this stuff, doctors started realizing dangers (all the dead/misformed babies), and international pressure started to mount...the US passed the Harrison Act.

  See http://www.nida.nih.gov/PDF/DARHW/033-052_Kandall.pdf for an excellent history of this.

  Alcohol isn't necessarily "healthy" (empty calories, kills brain cells).....men have drunk it for years. So, even though we had prohibition for a while...it's just "accepted" in our society. After all, Jesus served it up.

  2. friends

  we had a boe letter read recently.

  the september 2006 awake will be 100% dedicated to the "creation vs. evolution" issue.. even the "young people ask" article will be something like "how can i defend my belief in creation in school?

  also, i think one of the articles is entitled "does the bible support the notion that the earth was created in 6 24-hour days?".

  Oh Boy! I can't wait to "see" the Awake's use of scientific data! I'm sure the Awake will accurately quote scientific writers. Anyone out there willing to help me?

  Did Scientolgy & the Society, the two pyramid organizations, secretly merge? Think of the possibilities for the next "Knocking"-style documentary...Tom Cruise as a pioneer, John Travolta as an overseer, and Christie Alley as a dutiful sister! I'm making the popcorn!

  The JW "blurb" is a mystery.

  Scientology = modern day, cult-like religion that has its hand in Mr. Cruise's mind.

  So, are JW's considered "fringe" or "mainstream"?

  This suggests the media considers the JWs to be similar to Scientology, and less similar to the Mormans.

  The WTS is nuts.

  God gave us all talents. He made some singers, other artists, others interested in science, medicine, law, auto cars, etc. To "not use" your God-given talent is an injury to Him.
