Yes, always. We do not have that many beggars here in Boulder. My heart goes out to them. If it is especially hot (100+) or very cold (0), I am especially generous. My daughters are struggling college students, but they have learned to give to these unfortunate people whatever change they have. I do not care if it goes to the liquor store. It helps them get through another day with a little less pain.

OVER MY DEAD BODY WILL A JW MAN EVER BEFRIEND ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS. NEVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN IN THIS FAMILY WILL A JW MAN STRIP US OF ALL OUR DIGNITY.

my grandmother is not doing so well health-wise.

she just turned 91 and has been a faithful jw her entire life.

she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is battling pneumonia on top of that.. we were very close up until the point, a few years ago, when she asked me flat-out if i had any intention of coming back or if i even believed in god.

Your epitaph...what would you like it to be?

imagine that you are staring down from some ethereal plane of post-death...not the funeral, mind you, but perhaps years or decades after your physical decease.. what would you feel pleased to see written on your gravestone?.

Former JW Elder who sexually abused teenager gets only 6 months

by behemot in

david nelson, a former elder at the madison park congregation jehovah's witness church in phoenix, admitted to authorities that he sexually abused a teenage boy on several occasions in the early 1980s.. with a confession from the suspect, it seems like a slam-dunk case but not for the maricopa county attorney's office, which brokered a slap-on-the-wrist plea agreement that nelson signed, the terms of which landed him in county jail for six months.

in addition to the jail time, nelson was sentenced to three years' probation and must register as a sex offender.. when asked for an explanation of the seemingly light sentence, mcao spokesman jerry cobb told new times that among other reasons the victim in the case (whom we'll refer to as kevin) was okay with the plea agreement.that wasn't true.

in fact, after learning nelson had pleaded guilty to two reduced charges not the six class-two felonies on which he was initially indicted kevin tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head just four days after nelson pleaded guilty.. "thirty-one days [kevin] had a tube down his throat [in the hospital following the march 12 suicide attempt].
