  Friends of Bill W. W Must Stand for WTF?

  i keep crossing paths with people who are in recovery, that is, recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.

  these folks regularly attend alcoholics anonymous and narcotics anonymous meetings and are all somewhere in the process of working the 12 steps of recovery.

  the organization denies affiliation with any legal entity; a blatant deception, a lie they tell new ones and each other at each and every meeting.

  for any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.

  she had been in the hospital for a month.

  it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

  How do you keep your hopes up while in this doomed existence?

  coming from aguest's thread where she showed us the article that describes a "brain drain" that has been occuring for centuries do to "mutations" i can't help but be a little fed up with how much negativity comes from the land of science.

  sure, facts are facts and they do not set out to sound good or bad, but instead of identifying the problems of doom, like our brains are devolving, why not focus on the solutions to those problems?

  where are the hopes and dreams that our culture so desperately holds onto which actually provides the drive to progress towards them.

  james, you would find Einstein's famous essay, "Why Socialism?" an interesting read.

  We had these when I was a kid, only they were very nicely done (gold edging, in a little box, etc.), which means they were not produced directly by the WTS. They must have been approved by the WTS (or we wouldn't have had them), but not necessarily promoted by them. As I recall there were exactly 100 characters.

  If the WTS wants to provide something for children (in return for Sparlock), why not make a quality product, not this cheesy cut-n-fold crap?

  this is a melancholy day for me.

  over the past few years i have been studying american politics and have enjoyed learning perspectives from different ideologies.

  i personally lean towards conservative values when it comes to creating legislature, however i am socially liberal.

  Thank you for the response, ohiocowboy.

  While I agree and support your desire for specific rights, and sooner rather than later, I must point out that those are not issues that can or will be addressed at the federal level, and certainly not by the decree of the president. Your argument is at the state level.

  However, President Obama has created a legislative environment that makes your goals much more viable in the forseeable future. We all can celebrate that in our lifetimes we have moved gay rights from the closet to the national stage. We have presidents Clinton and Obama to thank for that.

  Most gay people are happy about the incredible amount of progress achieved over a relatively short period.....................

  He ain't done crap for the Gay demographic.

  I repeat, Ohio cowboy, 'cause I am genuinely curious:

  Really? What more would you suggest the federal government do on behalf of the gay demographic?
