  LAST DAY-REGISTER TO VOTE IN CA

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you aren't registered by today, you can't vote in the primary on march the 5th.. this is for california only, btw.. you can register at the dmv, or even the post office in most cities.. one vote can make a difference.

  if you don't believe that, ask the people of florida whose votes were hand counted.. don't buy the jw line of not getting involved.

  it's where you live.

  WHEN THE FECAL MATTER HITS THE FAN

  by You Know in

  ------------------- when the fecal matter hits the fan!

  the book of malachi is addressed to the priests of israel after the time of judgment when the babylonians destroyed the nation.

  but, in reality, the prophecy applies to the anointed priests of the christian era who are similarly in a legally binding covenant relationship with jehovah god.

  Low-self esteem, if identified by the person suffering from it, is highly curable. What you seem to not realize, Larc, is how many have it so bad (usually when this bad, accompanied by other psychological problems) they don't even realize it. It's like telling the guy who lives in a hovel with nothing to his name that he is a failure or unsuccessful and having him say "No, I've got a place to sleep and enough whiskey in the freezer and a bag of pot, I'm doing great!". They cannot see that NO they are not doing great. They only know they have enough whatever to keep numb another day. They ask for nothing more and truly believe this is what they deserve and convince themselves of their contentment. Know why Larc? Cause they were so severly screwed up in childhood they cannot SEE as adults.

  (If you are interested in some details of case study feel free to e-mail me for some serious FIRSTHAND information)

  You said:
  1. Can we change it. Can we have a heart to heart talk with a person and convince them that their negative comments are contraproductive. 2. Can we get out of a situation. In my case, I don't associate with negative people. 3. If we can't change the situation or get out of it, then we just have to put up with. It's too damed bad, but that's the way it is. There is no point spending time ruminating and getting onseself up set about it. 4. If you can't change, can't get out of it, or learn to cope with it, then you have a final choice - be miserable and let it ruin your

  Why don't you present these options to a toddler where it often begins Larc? Tell this to the five year old who is constantly abused physically and told repeatedly he is worthless, stupid, good for nothing, etc. Everyday, all day long. While being hit, slapped and dragged by hair, etc.. See all the options available to these formative, innocent souls. Go tell them to stand up for themselves and refuse to take it anymore and see what they get for their efforts. My thinks you are out of touch my friend as to where it all begins--like in the cradle, not at high school graduation. If you really wanted to help you would be looking at the root of the problem instead of the result.

  I can assure you that it is those who think they have nothing to address that are the sickest among us.

  Julie, who highly recommends some reading up on the formative years and their life-long impact to all who think as Larc does

  ROFL!! Expat, I saw that story hilarious!!! I watched some CNN this morning and they were talking about it, they laughed and talked about how good the British are at apologizing. Also guessed the guys involved ten-twenty years later, in the local pub, they'll probably assert "Well if we'd have had air cover we could have taken it" LOL

  Hail Britannia!

  Dear Shari,

  We here all know you (some better than others) and care about you. We all know you well enough to know your heart is in the right place. You have told me in e-mail how you try to do things better for your kids than you had it, we all do. If you didn't give a care, why would you mention such concerns to me? Easy, you wouldn't.

  This is the kind of open letter any single mother trying her best *should* get. Encouragement and love to you. Don't hesitate to ask your friends here for help in any way. If you don't believe we can be of any assistance in RL, well you just go ask Wendy about that.

  I know you try, I know you care, I know you love. That is all I need to know and that should be good enough for anyone.

  Warm regards from one mom trying her best to another,
  Julie, of the We are all just trying to find our way Klass

  Hi Princess,

  Just look at in the light of that whole tortoise and the hare thing. lol I think it is a great stroke of irony and everyone involved seems to be pretty understanding of the way it works so no big deal.

  the norwegian newspaper vg, reports: iraqi general nizar al-khazraji was the man behind the butchering of 180,000 iraqi kurds in 1988. he was one of saddam's faithful generals.

  he later had to flee iraq and is living on a secret address in denmark.

  LOL Kent, Kent, Kent,

  You get so worked up over these things. Have no fear dear, he's a one termer. He can only milk this Septemeber 11/terrorism thing for so long and now domestic policy (which is suffering even than foreign policy these days, thus Americans know a *little* more about it) is failing miserably with no end in sight, going by the slick, glossy budget they produced recently.

  More than worthy opponents are gathering, you can see who the real players are by who the Republicans are circling now. Sort of like the Lee Atwater/Bill Clinton thing. He knew Clinton was a serious threat to the GOP and he started his propaganda war machine long before any primaries. I see this happening again, means the GOP senses serious threats.....read some of their latest mongering they are mailing out, you'll see.....

  We'll be working on it till then, don't you worry.

  Warm regards,

  Ah good work Alan. Exposing the WT world to all the world to see. Who could ask for more? This clearly demonstrates, on a global scale, the control this Publishing Co. wants over it's unfortunate followers. Thanks for keeping us up on the Big Picture stuff.
