As abhorent as this is, it certainly is not unique to JW's. No one should be phyiscally or emotionally assaulted for expressing their personal beliefs. Unfortunately, these types of incidents are not unique. Last week, Islamists attacked a Christian church in Pakistan and killed numerous people...just because they were Christians. Yesterday, rebels in Nigeria attacked a college and killed scores of students while they slept in their dorms because this rebel group hates western education. The acting out of violence because "we don't like what you think" is disgusting...and I have no doubt JW's would do the same to apostates if it weren't illegal.

zac's first tooth just fell out, and so people are telling him that the tooth fairy will come with money.

zac asked me if the tooth fairy is real.

i am at a loss as to what to say.

Adam...I would agree with your line of reasonng, except very few adults that I am aware of still believe in Santa or the the Tooth Fairy! The same can't be said of ghosts, spirits, etc...

I do agree, that at some point, reality has to be seperated from fantasy...the timing is the issue. I personally, don't see harm in a little fantasy when the kids are young...as I mentioned before, reality will come crashing in on them soon enough!

Billions of children have grown up with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and other fictional characters. I doubt highly that any have received any long term damage from the chidhood fantasies. In this day and age, children are forced to grow up much faster than we did...let them enjoy the wonders of these fantasy creations. They will be jolted in to realty soon enough!!

mine have, and they're generic.. greetings, friends.. a couple days ago i went to pick up my meds at k-mart (california, usa).

i had $5.00, the discounted price, in hand.

the assistant rang me up for $27 and change.

CoCo...have you tried Walmart or Target?...they both have $4-$5 generic programs. Not every generic drug is going to fall in to that category, since some generics are quite expensive as well. Check that option out and see if they are more available through those pharmacies.

i am truly surprised to see boeing trying to roll out a plane so full of bugs and flaws.

hope they can get things straightened out.

major us industry giant, lots of jobs..

Have there been any other problems since the battery issues?...actually, almost every new plane that has been introduced in to service have had glitches. I recall significant problems with the DC-10, early 727's and 737's, Airbus 310 and 380...to name a few. My motto is to not fly new planes until they have been in service for at least a year or two.

I just finished reading this book...a very good and fast read! It will particularly resonate with ex-JW's and even current JW's if they are brave enought to read it. It is quite compelling and speaks very well to the internal conflicts that many, if not most, JW's feel. If you like apocolyptic stories, this first of three parts paints a very interesting picture of Armageddon, and JW's expectations about it. I would recommend reading it...good job Anthony!

Next on my list is Terry's book, "I Wept by the Rivers of Babylon"!
