  after losing the wimbledon championship to her sister venus, serena williams was being interviewed on the court yesterday, and here is part of what she said: "i thank my god jehovah for being out here".. okay, so according to her words, jehovah blessed her by allowing her to be there to participate in a competitive sports championship match.

  and not just any match.

  wimbledon!

  Welcome. Therapy is a great thing. Take your time. Don't do anything big for at least one year. Get a really good lawyer. It sounds like he's been thinking about this for a while and you might want to look at your financial assets for the last few years. I don't know what his problem is but it is his not yours. Walk, eat healthy, do things you've always wanted to...even if you do it along (I got certified in diving and joined a local children's community theatre, took voice lessons, got a wonderful dog). There is a million great adventures waiting for you.

  I requal every year on CPR and it has really changed in the past few years. Performed it on a big older man a couple of years ago. Continued for 45 minutes until we landed at an alternate airport. We attached the AED (automatic external defibrillator) but since his heart wasn't in defib it didn't shock him. It did show that our compressions were showing as heart beats. We were lucky to have a cardiologist and an EMT to assist us. Color did return to his face as we worked on him. He was declaired dead on the way to the hosp. I think he was dead b4 we started but we have to continue until a Dr. on the ac radio tells us to stop.

  hi everyone, i'm new here, been viewing the board for a while, decided to join yesterday.. so i'm about 95% convinced now the wts is bogus, but i'm still in coz as yall know leaving is the hardest part.

  i plan on doing a fade to avoid the complete disconnection, but first want to gradually help my gf to see things too.

  in the meantime, i'm just wondering how many of you are still "active" jdubs?

  I'm out of it. My mom is still in. I know more about the society from this website than she knows from the meetings.

  It's better on the outside. You just have to be careful and mindful in making good new friends.

  I think Hortensia is right on target. I hope he wipes his self righteous arse with his new paper towels.

  My brother is getting out of prison AGAIN on July 11th. I asked his who was one of the most scary guys he has met in prison. He is 62 and bounced around between federal and state prisons. Murder, breaking and entry, id theft, forgery ad nauseum. His response was...Manson. I was dumbfounded. Manson is mentally ill but he is still a teeny little guy. How does that crap happen. (I think my brother was trying to impress me....I wasn't).

  I think we should give the girl a break. She has spent more time on a tennis court and gym than in a KH or Field Service. So what. If I looked like her I'd be selling pictures too.

  Michael Jackson was "reprooved" over his "Thriller" video and was quoted in the Awake (I think not the WT) "no more Thriller".

  She's just a young woman who has worked hard at her skill. She is a world class athelete..doesn't say she's the brightest bulb. Her brush with the society is her worst problem. Leave her alone. The society is the master hypocrite here.

  so i say so long, who knows maybe sometime in the future i will pop in and say hi.

  thanks to all of you who have done a great deal for me, i have learned a lot about cult religions and a lot about myself.

  Hey, please just stop in once in a while and let us know how you are doing. You are really valued here and we will miss you but hopefully not for ever. Just make a pit stop once in a while, okay? Please?

  You may think the safety demo is BS but it's not. Here are a couple of tips. A loose seatbelt will hurt you more than help you. If you have to take a brace position before a crash it is to keep your upper body as protected as it can against the first impact which will be the biggest and if you can maintain it the following 2 (on the average) impacts. It also prevents "flailing" your arms and heads bouncing about encountering objects and creating head and neck injuries. There HAVE been water landings where people have survived. The biggest trick is to survive impact...get out...don't drown.

  The biggest safety improvements are blocked due to $$$$$$$ . The FAA is filled with lobbyists (the currant head of the FAA appointed by Bush has never had ANY airline experience but did donate heavily to the Bush campaigns). The so called passenger rights organization called ATA is nothing but a group of lobbyists who represent the airlines to prevent safety laws that will cost the airlines money. Your flight attendants are trained to get the entire aircraft evacuated with a full load in under 90 seconds with half the exits blocked.

  One single thing to improve survivability is to have the seats facing rear. All impact would be distributed thru the seat instead of your body against the seatbelt and your arms against the seat in front of you. But then people don't want that. People will only get safety when they demand it but they have to know what to demand.

  I know that outsourcing heavy checks, reducing pilot in command authority to make on time departures..or over riding their decisions of what a no-go item is by people in operations (who do not have their ass 37thousand feet in the air) is a receipe for disaster.

  As long as people will sacrifice safety for cheap fares and let airlines blame money problems on unions or employee pay and benefits people will get what they pay for.

  We do not have a terrorist/safety problem in the USA. We have a CEO problem dipped in corporate greed and corporate carpet baggers. That should make you afraid....very afraid.

  Not one pilot I fly with and certainly not myself will lie to passengers about what is happening to our flight. Other airlines may have a different policy. We are all in the same flying boat together.

  If you truely think all the flight attendants and pilots are BS and have no trust in them then maybe you really shouldn't fly. They are the ONLY ones being honest with you and are putting their own lives on the line to save your ass.
