thirty years ago, during a bull-riding practice session, i met a handsome steer wrestler from wyoming.
Scott, I thought it was great. And, though Skeeter never had the opporunity to wrestle naked with a cowboy . . . I could identity with alot of what you had to say. Each of us was rejected by an organized religion and now holds a heaping spoonful of cautiousness.

so...the third and final session was pretty straightforward.
they basically asked some more questions about the first woman, before i got back with the woman who became my wife.
then they asked what seemed like nothing more than a customer survey of "how are we doin'?
Ok, I now see that that was 4 years ago. Please give us an update on what happened!

Thinking of you and your family. You have shown awesome courage. Reading the part about spitting in the Devil's space was wonderful. That's how I felt. I identify with it. Be true to yourself, and you can't be false to any man (or woman).
Taxes - have the IRS issue 2 separate deposits. Keep with your original deal. She is trying to control you now. When couples are trying to control each other, they often fight about money. Money is a sign that she still controls you.
Topic 152 - Refund Information
Taxpayers have three options for receiving their individual federal income tax refund: a paper check, direct deposit (electronic funds transfer) into a checking, savings or other account; or a purchase of U.S. Series I Savings Bonds. Taxpayers may request that refunds be directly deposited in up to three separate accounts. The refund must be $1.00 or more. Form 8888, Allocation of Refund (Including Savings Bond Purchases), will give taxpayers a choice of selecting up to three accounts such as checking, savings and retirement accounts. Note: You cannot have your refund deposited into more than one account if you file Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation.
If you file a complete accurate tax return, your refund will generally be issued within six weeks from the received date. If you filed electronically, refund checks will generally be issued within three weeks after the acknowledgment date. Refunds from amended returns will generally be issued within 8–12 weeks. Injured spouse claims can take longer, depending on the circumstances. Refer toTopic 203 for more information concerning Injured Spouse Claims.
To check on your refund, go to "Where's My Refund" or call the Refund Hotline at 800–829–1954. Please allow 72 hours after you electronically file or 3 weeks after you mail your return before using the automated systems. When you call, you will need to provide your Social Security number, your filing status, and the exact whole dollar amount of the refund shown on your return. There are several reasons for delayed refunds. Refer to Topic 303 for a checklist of common errors when preparing your tax return, and for additional items that may delay the processing of your return.
If you receive a refund to which you are not entitled, or one for an amount that is more than you expected, do not cash the check until you receive a notice explaining the difference. Follow the instructions on the notice.
On the other hand, if you receive a refund for a smaller amount than you expected, you may cash the check, and, if it is determined that you should have received more, you will later receive a check for the difference. If you did not receive a notice and you have questions about the amount of your refund, wait two weeks after receiving the refund, then call 800-829-1040.
The IRS will assist you in obtaining a replacement check for a refund check that is verified as lost or stolen.
Yes, she could be planning to split. I think it's a very real possibility if she's looking to hoard money. Perhaps she needs assurance that you are not going to leave her too? But, in the meantime, stay safe with your own financial security. Be fair. She can't think right.

university is going really good!
i'm meeting alot of different people.
friends are so much easier to make here with 'worldly ' people.
There was a threat a little while ago. Apparently, Steve Jobs Foundation has a scholarship for children of parents who never went to college. Have you looked into it with your guidance counselor?

word on the street is though katie holmes knew cruise is deep into scientology, she now has a better understading of this cult and wants to protect their child from the cult.
i guess tom and scientology has turned his and nicole kidman's kids against kidman.
now that suri is coming of age, holms does not want suri to become a scientologiest and is afraid this same outcome will befall her if she doesn't get full custody of suri .. the interesting thing is holmes is going to have to prove scientology is dangerous to her child and new york is not a joint custody/friendly state.
SCIENTOLOGY TRIED TO PICK TOM CRUISE'S GIRLFRIEND (TALK ABOUT CULT CONTROL)
Tom Cruise’s girlfriends were said by The New York Daily News yesterday to have been auditioned by his controversialScientology church. In an interview appearing in October’s issue of Vanity Fair, reporter Maureen Orth claims actresses who were involved in the church were interviewed about a training film, but were in fact being vetted as a love connection for Tom Cruise.
Several sources said the Scientology church devised an elaborate scheme to select a proper girlfriend for actor Tom Cruise, perhaps their most famous member. Actresses aligned with the secretive organization thought they were being auditioned for a new Scientology training film, but were instead asked a series of odd questions such as, “What do you think of Tom Cruise”?, according to former church member Marc Headley.

A Scientologist from the age of seven, Headley claims to have watched many of the audition video tapes while heading the church’s in-house studio. “It’s not like you only have to please your husband - you have to toe the line for Scientology”, he added. This audition project was reportedly spearheaded by Shelly Miscavige, wife of Scientology head David Miscavige.
Headley told the magazine that actresses Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz conflicted with the church and David Miscavige, and that you can’t do anything to displease them because Tom Cruise will freak out. Representatives for Scientology deny the audition story saying it’s just a product of, “disgruntled apostates”.
The piece goes on to describe one particular actress and the selection process she endured before embarking on a three month relationship with Cruise. British-Iranian actress Nazanin Boniadi tells Orth how she was auditioned back in 2004. According to The New Daily News she was allegedly ordered to change her hair color, get rid of her braces, dump her boyfriend and swear to secrecy before dating Cruise.
Starting in October 2004 Nazanin was audited daily by a high-ranking church member during which she had to reveal her innermost secrets and all the details of her sex life. She was shown confidential auditing files of her boyfriend in order to expedite her breaking up with him. Boniadi then had to sign a confidentiality agreement and was informed is she screwed up in any way, she’d be declared a Suppressive Person, which is an outcast of the Scientology church.
Each day of her relationship with Tom, Boniadi spents hours purging herself of any negative thoughts about him. She said she felt completely isolated and noted that her only source of money was a Cruise production company-issued credit card.
Boniadi said that when she finally confided in another church member about her relationship with Tom Cruise, something she was forbidden from doing, the other turned her in to church officials. Her punishment was to scrub toilets with a toothbrush at the Scientology Center she was staying at in Florida. She also had to clean bathroom tiles with acid and dig ditches in the middle of the night. Finally she was forced to peddle Scientology bible “Dianetics” by church founder L. Ron Hubbard on street corners.
The church informed her in January of 2005 that her relationship with Cruise was over citing, “He wants someone with her own power”. Someone like Nicole Kidman they told her.
Boniadi and her mother are no longer affiliated with the Scientology church. Watch a video clip above of Tom Cruise through the years as he celebrated birthday number 50 recently.

this weekend was the convention for the southern san francisco bay area.
it was held at the santa clara convention center in the silicon valley http://www.santaclara.org/conventioncenter/ which is an improvement over the old s.f.
cow palace which is still used..just not as much.
In punitive damage awards, one is punished for shocking the conscience/blatent activity.
If the WTS attorney were to argue that it shouldn't be punished becuase it was remoreseful . . .a good attorney could try to work this into the argument. If not, the next time these jokers are up in court testifying . . . then an 'out of court' statement could be used to impeach their credibility.

jehovah's witnesses, hells angels, serial killers, dissociative identity disorder and a 14-year-old run-awaypr web.
victoria, bc (prweb) august 21, 2012. adele r. fors is a 4th-generation jehovah's witness and the ex-communicated daughter/grand-daughter of two of the most revered church leaders within the secretive jehovah's witness sect today.. adele, et al.
: jehovah's witnesses, hells angels, serial killers, dissociative identity disorder and a 14-year-old run-away is the author's response to the crippling experience she says began with the jehovah's witnesses in 1983 and continues to this day.. the victim of a sexual assault by a complete stranger at the age of 13, she writes that she was disfellowshipped the following year for having a defiant attitude and ostracized from her entire family system--though she was not a baptized member.
Wow!
The family unit is the cradle of society. Shunning leaves someone without an emotional or actual net. A few can shrug such a loss off, but most end up devastated and some like Adele realie the havoc shunning did to them. So sad, but glad she seems to be climbing out.

Cults recruit idealistic people. Some people want to be rich and are seeking a "true" answer. Others want to be perfect (at yoga, ballet, etc). Others want to be perfect Christians and live forever in Paradise. These idealistic people are tormented souls who become trapped in the cult's promises.
