  spiders!!!

  i can handle any other bug, snakes, mice, etc....but get me near a spider, and i nearly have a breakdown.. this morning, i went to grab some clothes from the bathroom to wash, felt something crawling on my arm, looked down, giant, hairy, brown spider.

  i still have the heebie-jeebies, and i probably woke up the neighbors.. *shudder*.

  My ex definitely got the *easier* end of the deal. I was left to raise our son, and he just was a Disneyland Dad. He picked him up when he was a kid every weekend, and he was a good dad, up until he married the second wife and she had hisbaby. Then my son was nothing to him. He said that he couldn't pick him up any more because the second wife would raise such a stink. I think that she was just jealous because she always brought up that me and my first husband were best friends for several years before she came along. We never did the deed, but she thought we did. She failed to understand that we were friends before we were mates. I'll never forget my poor son, with his bag packed when he was eight, sitting on the frnt porch waitin for his Father to pick him up and he never did. It was heartbreaking. He cried in my arms until the a.m. NOW he lives with him and he still doesn't see him very much. Of course, he's almost 18..

  I didn't have to go out in the hall. I just remained sitting while everyone else stood up. The anthem made me have two emotions: anger and pride. For sure, the national anthem of the US is not near as beautiful as the Canadian one, but its still a source of much pride to me. I was a born patriot, and it made me *sick* to have to sit down amidst a sea of people with their hands over their chests. The song itself brings back lots of unhappy memories to me. I wanted so bad to stand up like the rest of them and sing that song. I wanted that so badly. Mostly because I was accutely aware of the conditions in my Father's country, and howbad things were over there, and I was just so proud of having been born here and how beautiful this "basket of plenty" was, and how much I appreciated it. I wanted to sing the national anthem because I love this country. I was raised in a house of immigrants. It was hard on our family, because our grandparents didn't accept my Dad, an immigrant from Greece. He learned to speak our language, he went to our colleges, he tried hard. They didn't accept him as my Mother's husband until he finally exhibited that he was totally assimilated and could speak English. They don't do that now. Signs are in French, English and Spanish.

  But the Anthem makes me shiver with excitement and emotion. I love being able to vote.. and I love the anthem. That I can now cross my hand over my heart and sing it. It means so much to me.

  There is always room on the railroad of Christ for a few crazy engineers. They have to just realize that when they yell STOP! no one's going to stop the train.

  My Mother told me that the Greek Gods were actually the demons/angels that came down out of heaven and mated with the Greek girls (woo hoo! I might be descended from an angel/demon!) and had children. So ... the children that were born had super human strength, senses, etc. Really?

  What Bugs You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  is it the theology?

  is it the smugness that many witnesses have?

  is it the multitude of false prophecies and errors?

  What do you have to do when you know a pedo? I need your input.!!

  i have a question.

  what do you have to do when you discover someone is a pedophile, someone confided in you, and you know it's true, and the whole picture comes together .

  but beware!

  Your first imperative should be to keep friends with the abuser, so you can take advantage of his willingness to speak. You should get a pocket tape recorder that only records when there are voices. Take him out for dinner and bring this up. Get him to confess again, if you can, and talk to him as if you were an understanding friend. Ask him specifics: times, dates, places, names. Regardless if it makes *you* sick, you should bear with it and keep encouraging him to share the details. Especially specifics. In that way, you are setting up an investigative path for those that will go after you.

  Your second best bet is to find a detective or police officer willing to listen to you and help you capture him. You can do this with the tapes. On the sly, find out where he lives; what dates he was with the victims. Don't go talk to the victims as this could obviously set off a chain of suspicion. You should *never* arouse suspicion.

  Take the tapes to the cops and let them figure out how to work this all out. How could you do otherwise? There are children, possibly, being abused by him right now.

  Has The Watchtower Society Thrown In TheTowel?

  there seems to be something lacking from headquarters to the local congregations.

  there's no zip, no vigor.

  everything seems to be on automatic cruise control.

  Is there any source that we can look at on the Internet which would show the average run for an apocalyptic religion? How are the other ones doing, e.g., the Adventists and the like?
