  Nah, I can't say that I did as an adult. As a youth I would just underline the first two sentences of the paragraph. The answers were there most of the time.

  Some WT's looked like a coloring book with the different color highlighters - The more colors the more spiritual you look.

  It was always considered a no-no if a mike handler roam the aisle with an unmarked WT.

  A mike handler would also be considered spiritual if he had an x-tra WT to hand out to those who didn't have one for the WT study.

  im not feeling the greatest lately.

  looking for some comfort on the only place i feel theres people who understand me.

  the last few months have been the most enlightening in my life, showing me that i can be myself, and think for myself without being opressed by a religion that obviously does not care on how their people feel.

  Congressman Rangel wants to bring back the draft so everybody will serve in the military equally, without favoritism to the rich and famous. Or in his own words:

  "to make it clear that if there were a war, there would be more equitable representation of people making sacrifices."

  The people he represents in his district are affluent & middle class Americans. I don't know if you noticed but Harlem is by no means a ghetto these days.

  Peace (wishful thinking) - LL :)

  I was lisitening ot a audio tape of him not to long ago. In fact he did that tape on 9/11 and mentioned that event as he was talking about how human being are all connect to each other and the power of living in the present.

  Yes, what a concept, living in the present - not living in the past, or future. If we really think about it, applying that principal would racially change the world.

  Thanks for the tip about his book.

  Peace - LL :)

  i can't.

  in the few times i have prayed since leaving the dubs i notice i catch myself -- "dear heavenly god jeh----......" there's just so much emotional baggage connected to the name.

  i wish to leave it behind altogether.. b.

  someone mentioned this in one of their posts and i had a flashback.

  i remember getting a w on one of my theocratic school talks when i was working on gesturing.

  the funny thing about it is that it was given to me by my dad!

  Yeah got W's on warmth No. 33-a, if I can recall. But I rarely give them out as a school overseer. The school was my favorite part of the infamous 5 meetings.

  he told me he had his own business and was looking to "expand.

  " he told me i "was a special person" with "good qualities" and "capable of going places.

  Primerica is a business cult hands down! Unfortunately I was suckered in for a minute, but quickly realize the simuilarity of a cult, and headed for the hills. Primerica, Quickstar, Amway all the same. There are tons of info on the net about those MLM traps. I usually don't give advice, but please don't do it.
