not for nothing, your mom with all due respect needs to mind her business, your the head of the house and it should be what you say. you need to sit down with your wife and have a serious conversation about how you are feeling towards her going to the memorial or whatever. and i agree with you 100% a divided marriage is not good at all. just my 1 cent...

Went round and round last night
by sinis inso, my mother is still in.
last night at my parents home she starts in with me on how she is going to ask my sig other to the memorial (puke), and that i should not forbid her to go.
we went round and round about how the jw's are bs, gave many examples and it always came back to some twisted circular reasoning, that i still do not fully understand.

I just can't imagine how people like that think that way. those images of destruction in Japan, Haiti, Indonisea it just horrible and sad stricken, and for the JW's to think that it something good and looking forward to tradies like this is just plan sicking. you can only feel sorry for the way JW'S think they dont know any better.

Question about News Reporters who go to Natural Disasters
by Broken Promises inafter watching news casts on the queensland floods and cyclone, the christchurch earthquake and japan's earthquake and tsunami..... when these reporters go to these areas, do they bring their own food and water?

does anyone know?.

I would like to know why would i want to go to a place where there is a nuclear meltdown happening? i would not risk my life just to be the first to report it. I know that there has to be news out there. but these reporters sometimes dont think about the out come of things. if there not careful now in years to come there will have some type of cancer and blame their jobs.. i dont know just my thought.

Archdiocese Facing Numbers Crunch, Too
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. - The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is dealing with a major image problem.
Four people are accused of sexually abusing children and a monsignor is accused of covering up abuse.
Cardinal Justin Rigali continued his meetings with priests this week, heading to Newtown Square on Tuesday.
However, he was carefully escorted out a back door to avoid our cameras. And the cardinal's driver even went the wrong way down a one way street to avoid the media. You can several "do not enter signs" in the Fox 29 News camera footage.
Here's what the archdiocese is dealing with:
- A grand jury accused the diocese of failing to reform after an earlier scandal.
- Two priests, a former priest, and a former teacher are all accused of sexually abusing or endangering minors.
- A monsignor is charged with covering up the abuse.
- A total of 21 priests have been suspended.
The priest suspensions and the grand jury report couldn't come at a worse time for the Archdiocese because it's also dealing with another kind of crisis – a numbers challenge, Fox 29's Chris O'Connell reported.
This is a time when mass attendance is dwindling and there is a critical shortage of priests.
There are 482 priests serving right now serving in the archdiocese's 268 parishes. That is way down from its peak in the 50s and 60s.
There are also 158 retired priests in the archdiocese. And there are 187 deacons serving in Philadelphia.
It's gotten to the point where St. Charles Borromeo Seminary on City Avenue, one of the most prominent in the country, is only at about a quarter of its capacity. The Archdiocese is losing about 15 to 20 priests a year, and it's only ordaining less than 10.
A Catholic blogger who follows the church told "Good Day" Tuesday morning there is talk of some seminaries consolidating.
The other challenge for the church is filling its pews. Although Catholic membership is actually going up over the years, people attending church is shrinking.
The Archdiocese reports it has 1.4 million members. But, according to a Georgetown University study, only 20 percent of Catholics nationwide attend church on a regular basis.
That has some archdioceses going to the airwaves.
The organization Catholics Come Home has started a television and radio campaign in areas around the country. Although Philadelphia isn't one of them, the church is hoping appeal to the younger generation and non-Catholics to come back.
An exception is the success story coming out of Chester County. St. Rocco's parish is actually growing. This is one of two churches in the Archdiocese that's under construction. Mainly because of a booming Hispanic population, it's one of the fastest growing parishes in the area.
The Archdiocese is already closing some of its Catholic schools because of low enrollment.
Although the church isn't saying this, some think it won't be too long before churches themselves may consolidate or merge.
Meanwhile, a victim from the third lawsuit to come from the grand jury report on sex abuse within the Catholic Church will take center stage on Wednesday.
A Delaware County man and his family will speak to reporters concerning his abuse by the Rev. John Kline, who was assigned to St. Francis Xavier parish and a long-time teacher at Roman Catholic High School.
The news conference is scheduled to take place in front of the Philadelphia Archdiocese offices at 1 p.m

Will there be cars in the New System?
by laverite ingrowing up as a jw i always imagined the new system (tm) as being just like it's presented in the literature (tm).
i thought we'd all be hanging around with dorky looks on our faces, petting tigers and panda bears all day while we eat fruit and practice our dorky grins.. i've never seen a pic from the society (tm) showing cars or planes (or other forms of transport) in the literature (tm).
what did you imagine as far as transportation in the new system (tm)?
