i just thought some might like to know the latest about actor and racing driver paul newman -.
lime rock park racetrack was closed down for about an hour and a half today so that he could take a few last laps in his gt1 corvette.. newman has incurable cancer and is not expected to live much past september.. there were not many like him..
Reminds me of a story:
A JW friend of mine (when I was still in) was an HVAC man and one day he was called to a house in northeastern Connecticut to do a repair. He knocked on the door and Paul Newman answered it. My friend said, "Hey - you're Paul Newman!" Newman looked around at his wife (Joanne Woodward) and said, "Hey, honey - I'm Paul Newman!"
Newman then talked my friend into doing some charity work at the Hole in the Wall Gang camp for handicapped kids, which was located nearby.
here is a conversation with theodore jaracz, key member of the watchtower's governing body of jehovah's witnesses, initiated by alan feuerbacher in 2001.. jaracz knew about the dateline expose' of their child abuse problem at least 8 months before dateline aired.. this confirms that the governing body knew about the dateline program expose' of watchtower child abuse problem.
of course, to be fair to jaracz, he was entirely unaware of the problems to the watchtower that would follow, including the resulting court cases, which watchtower settled out-of-court.
six years later, the time of the court settlements, jaracz was proved to be wrong on his observations as discussed in the conversation.. watchtower had knowingly appointed molestors to positions of authority, which was established in the lawsuits, so jaracz's arguments do not hold water here.
I'm not sure what is significant about this. We all knew for quite some time about the Dateline program before it aired. In fact, as I recall, the program was to have aired very near to 9/11/01 and was delayed several months because of the events of 9/11. It doesn't seem too much of a stretch for the GB also to have been aware of the upcoming program, since the Society was undoubtedly contacted for comment (and since we have long suspected they are monitoring this board anyway).
this email is making the rounds.
can't imagine why they need to make these changes but there you go.... .

my wife asked for a seperation last week.
she rattles off a huge list of wrong things, like dress better when going out {wear a jacket?
} and be more ambitious like her since she would have been a millioniare if i wasn't holding her back?
Make sure you take her name off any credit card and bank accounts (even as an authorized user). If it's an account in both names, close it and open one in your name only. That way she won't as easily be able to run you into debt.
anyone from the sussex county area out there.
i lived there in the 90's and knew alot of people.
i plan on moving back there in the near future and it would be interesting to see if anyone has gone to the dark side.
I live in West Milford now, but was never a JW in this area, so I don't know any of the locals. Mostly my JW years were spent in Massachusetts.

how do they actually know they are of the annointed?
all they would say is "i just know" or "they just know".. this always struck me as odd.
glory seekers i guess..
