  i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

  i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

  ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

  i have had it with my mother.

  i've spoken on the board before about her.

  let's say you're an active witness (well, you guys were, or are active witnesses) and you look around you.

  practically every appliance, invention, whatever, most of the food, all the new discoveries, virtually everything was made by worldlies.

  it's been that way for thousands of years.
