my sincerest apologies to anyone and everyone on this forum who read my first two threads.. i guess i started posting at a bad time in my life.
not too thoughtful of me but not insincere.
i have always been a little lacking in the social graces department partly because of my jw upbringing.

france to fine women who don full-face islamic veils in publicthe french government decided wednesday to impose a $185 fine on women who wear a full-face islamic veil in public, pushing ahead with a controversial ban despite signs of tension between france's muslims and the christian-tradition majority.
president nicolas sarkozy said his government was forwarding the legislation to parliament because it had a "moral responsibility" to uphold traditional european values in the face of an increasingly visible muslim population, estimated at more than 5 million, the largest in western europe.
he called the course chosen by his government "demanding" but "just," and he insisted that the law was not intended to stigmatize the country's muslims.

additionally, it's a threat. how do you know the person that's hiding in burka isn't planning a robbery or something? how would you feel when someone approaches you and you can't see her (or his?) face? how would you identify a criminal that uses a burka?
Good point. How do you even know for sure they're a woman?
i love boxing.
it kicks arse all over the place.
although it has lost some of it's prior glory and has waaaay too many classes that are televised and billed as "main events", it's still better than mma (sorry to any mma fans; i actually don't mind ufc, i'm just saying that i prefer traditional boxing).. anywho, what is the deal with jws hating on boxing?
I can't watch boxing or UFC.
It makes me cry.
james olsen and richaed wheellock both bethelites.. rich templet.
rich and james out of guilt, richard out of depression.. james and rich were both under 30 years old.. after richard wheelock (a bethel heavy) killed himself the society changed it's stand on whether suicides could be resurrectioned or not..
I know of 3 personally who completed the act, and many who attempted.
Brother "A", father of 3 young children, committed suicide.
Within 2 years, his wife also killed herself.
Within a few years after that, Brother "A''s fleshly brother, Brother"B", committed suicide also.
Of the attempts, they were mainly sisters who suffered with severe depression. But I know of a brother who tried, too. 2 of the attempts I know of, were more than just "cries for help" - they very nearly succeeded.
one of his first online stories that he recalled last week in order to cheer me up a bit:.
the garden bench.
despite the dreariness of yet another so commonplace a day, the old man's spirit soared above and beyond the cruel confines that his frail body imposed upon him.
I would like to meet Joseph and Marie, they are a sweet couple.
Well, don't buy any green bananas this week.
sigh...............the good folks of jwn..
Amen, sistah.
