In order for your paper to remain credible, you really should find people who are willing to tell their story in person. Otherwise your paper would lack credbility because it's easy to embellish anything you might say. Anything you present must be bullet proof.

Why not present your case to your local media, or even a national talk show circuit. The major media would love to expose corruption. Look at cnn's Christianne Amanpour's expose of the Nation of Islam.

A sincere good luck to you whichever way you go!

this is a bill i received from my phone company.

this portion comes from another phone service, called zpdi:.

Here's a long distance problem solver- I used to call someone in Buffalo NY (we are on the west). I bought a prepaid phone card from a pizza joint for 3 bucks. It is good for 3 months from first usage. I was able to phone east about 5 or six times. I even called Australia and Mexico City a few times on a card! Imagine a long distance plan for a buck or 2 a month. Worked well.

WHAT WAS THE BEST EXPLAINATION DISHED TO YOU?

when you had questions about jw teachings - what was the craziest reason / answer you received?.

when we "studied" the revelation book (is it still used ) i asked my bookstudy conductor what he thought about the interpretations that pointed to conventions (early 1920s -getting a bit hazy on details thankfully) ..... he said ".... that was such a long time ago , i havent really thought much about it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

ok - so if he didnt give anything "that long ago" any thought , did the same count for everything pre-1920 - i.e everything in the bible ???

Herein lies the problem. God did not write the bible. People did. People who thought that thunder is God's anger. People that thought the earth was flat. People who burned witches.

That is why I have faith, but no religion.

I was told to "prove it". So ok-show me Satan. Not a book stating it. I have said this-why does it take a book to teach behaivour? And where does it say you need to shun people? "God" absolutely would not approve people doing that. Punishment my ass!!!!

And one more thing-just who the heck made up the name Jehovah? I tell you my name. How else would you know? Has anyone ever been told by "God" what his name actually is? NO. It is simply a secular or "worldly" name . Sorry I just don't get it.

how many of you have had to send a computer in for repairs?

did you have to wait almost three #$@!

@##$% months to even get any sort of corre-frigging-spondence started?!?

Ok - here is an answer to most HP problems. If you have a pavillion with a small hard drive partitioned like most, your os is hidden there. I have ran into virus after virus and it is very easy to clean it up.

Before you turn on the machine, press and hold the f10 key. Press power and release the f10 key about 5 seconds later. You will enter system recovery (not restore). Follow the info on the screen- choose the basic install so you CAN save your data. You will have to reinstall some programs, but your machine will be cleaned up in 15 minutes. It's worked perfect for me several times. Please be advised you will have to install your av program before you go to windows update for minimal protection. If your av program is old, update AFTER you update your windows. Good luck.

Where Do We Really Go When We Die ?

oh, boy.

just had these thoughts rattling around in my head a few days, so wanted to get your takes.

my college son and i were talking and he said a fellow worker in his 50's said he had been aware his mother was sick and dying in another town , but had not died yet.

If I croak prematurely, some bodyparts will be salvage . The rest will be cremated, then placed in the Pacific Ocean sometime down the road.

That's about it.
