vs.. state of florida,.
Hi,
I just read the link to the case. I live inteh area of Florida which is spoken about.
To be hinest, I don't think he is getting out if the death sentace. Form looking at the dockett he was well aware of what he was doing, and very creul brutal act.
I know in Florida they won't tolerate a home invasion. It is very common down here and that is why they are stiffing the peneatly for it. As a home owner down here I am glad.

Eric,
Here is some good websites which will introduce you to Kosher and Regulations etc:
<A HREF= http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/rfcj/kosherfaq.htm </A>
<A HREF= http://www.jewishfoods.com </A>
I hope these site will help you understand a little bit more about Kosher foods.
I also found on the Kosher Foods the reason why Gefilte fish was invented in the first place.

I'll explain it to you:
A Meat to be declared Kosher by a Rabbi has to meet a few requirments:
1] the animal must be raised and killed in the most humane mannor as possible.
2] then all veins and artries are removed by a Kosher butcher.
Then the meat is soaked in water for a 1/2 hour to dialate the veins too small to be removed by the butcher. Then the portion of meat is covered in Kosher Salt for an hour.
This is to follow the law code in Lev. 17:11-16 about eating blood. Why Jehovah's Witness are not taught this point or required to eat on Kosher meat is very hypocritical in light of a Jehovah' Witness who will die refusing a blood transfusion.
Kosher salt removes all the excess blood and impurities left behind by a regualr slaughter.
The chicken flavor is more intense becasue all the excess blood, fluids and impurities are removed.
People are begining to turn back to Kosher food because Kosher regulations require food area to be cleaner. Dioet is more healthy because it does not allow the eating of animal fat, shell fish or mix dairy products with eggs.

Here is a Matzo Ball soup recepie:
1 cup matzo meal
4 eggs
1/4 of oil or melted shorting
1 teasppon of salt
1/4 cup broth (chicken for most of you, I am a vegatarin so I use veggie broth)
Chicken soup or a can of Chicken broth or Veggie version for Vegatarians.
Beat eggs and oil together in a bowl. Add matzo meal and salt. The mixture will now be a little thick. Add water or broth mix well. Put in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (longer it sets the better the matzo balls) or you can make ahead of time and put in fridge.
In soup pot add enough water or broth with salt and bring to a boil. Remove mix from fridge and roll inot 1 inch size matzo balls. Drop in boiling water and reduce heat to low let cook for 30 minutes.
then with a slotted spoon remove matzo balls and heat broth or soup. Enjoy!
La Chim (to life)

dear colleague and friend,.
i hope this message finds you well.
i am writing to ask for your help.. attached is a copy of my op ed, which was published yesterday in the boston globe.
Hi,
I just hope Steve's piece is not to appeal for this guy not to be tried for treason.
I am going to lobby MR Walker is tried for treason. He is responsible for his own behavior and actions. I don't think the cult/mind control should get him off the hook.
Mr. Walker was not dragged over to Afgahnistain by force. He did not shoot an AK48 by force either. He is supporting the Taliban against our own troops by fighting against us. He made a choice, a very disatorus one.
Acording to his US passport his rights as a US Citizen should be terminated.
Maybe the best punishment for him is to make him stay behing in Afgahinstain. He made the choice to fight the US supporting the Taliban, I guarantee they won't treat Mr Walker so kindly.

there, i said it.. how can you leave one brainwashing controlling world view and dive right into another?!.
duh!!!.
see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=17131&site=3 for a great example of why they suck.. aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh!.
Personally, I don't think so. then you don't read my E-mail wihter.
Many people became Jehovah's Witnesses for a reason, to serve the true God. There are many XJWS who feel the same.
My style may not fit into the XJW mold, but I won't stop trying.
I am greatly saddend to see in many cases the Watchtower is right. If you are an XJW, read this board and are searching for still serve God, then what the Wt says about those who leave seems true. It may be hard for some to pallette, but no less they have done a good job.
That is why many go back into the Watcthower. There is no altertive for them. Plus even if they see the hyproscrsy, what they are beginning to see is worse than what they have left. I remember, I did not meet too many XJW whom after they left mimic any form of a Godly lifesyle. It confirmed what I was taught by the Watcthower, not visa versa. It was years later when I met some XJWS who did become Christians that I began to see the Wt was wrong in some cases.

Tina,
He will work thing out ofr youif you let him. Jesus loves you even if you don't love him. He was willing to love and sacafice his life to give you a chance to live.
Anger is a normal emotion, so is denail and grieivng a loss. A person who has been expelled or leave the Wt is very angry. Angry is normal and it is indcating something is wrong.
Anger left uncheck or it continues for a long peroid of time may turn to rage. Rage is very destructive. WE can see how anger left unchecked is vented out in rage though news stories we see daily.
I feel an XJW must grief the loss. Whena person was a Jehovah's Witness the Org gave the JW an identiy, social structure, purpose and family. A perosn who is DF or Da experices a sudden loss.
I lost my parents whenI was 20, and suddenly my world trun upside down. My brother killed himself a year later. I was not raised a Jehovah's Witness and none of my deceased were.
I can't tell you the overwhelming denail and anger I felt. It can be very paralizing and devistating. How can such a loving God allow my parents to die, leave me to take care of my famly of 4 minor children? Then my brother thoug his very deep greif killed himself when he was 19? He loves me why did he take them andleave such a heavy burden for a person who is about to start out in life?
Same is felt by the XJW who is suddenly uprooted. Plus, the XJW must deal with the reality of being rejected by their famliy and peers.
If a person remain in the anger after a long period of time, it does become very destructive. If a person does not act out they will turn the anger inward.
I had to seperate the fact that God of Israel was not the Jehovah of the Wt. I was able to see theWt for whatit was and theindivials JWS for who they were. I was able to FORGIVE them, in my heart. Not just because Jesus told me to.
Jehovah is a very warm and loving God. He only wants justice and blessings for his human creation.

I am glad you have found a way which you are comfortable with. I will respect you choice. My Mother-in-law is very much into New Age movement, a Reki Master. Belive me she give a great massage God has given her a gift of healing and though her energy work. We have great respect for each other. I treat her with dignety not because she is my in-law but because she is a very strong and awesome lady.
The Gospel will be preached. I have been blessed by doing so.
I don't catch the XJWS who would post on these type of boards. There are more XJWS who are like myself than many of you think.
I never minded going door-to-door, in fact I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it because I love to talk about the person Whom I love the most, Jesus.
My year going door-to-door and my club help me attain my presnt secular job. Yes, i am know for not taking crap and not being shaken up when confronted with angry esclated people. I found my 10 years of being a Jehovha's Witness and used it as an asset not a liablity.
I feel enjoying evangeliszing is a gift from God. I tis one of the 7 gifts which God gives us though the Holy Spirit. Not every is gifted to do so.
I also accept the heat and risk the humliation and rejection of my peers. It is a consequnces of my work, but I accept this fact.
"Being right is not always popular and being popular is not alway right."
Jesus dies for me so I can live. I don't know anyone else who loves me more than this. He showed a love greater than any spiritual or relgion can offer.
I may make to some uncomfortable, but it is a command place on every Christian.
I created a place for those who wish to express those views not to be berated. More you guys speak out the more it comfirms and strenghten me to continue the work which Jesus has set out to do in my heart.
My other post to Mike got cut-off by someone Iming me. Being a Strong Woman who has a strong personality has it draw backs. I am also spared a lot of greif. My husband respects the fact I don't just back down.
If you got to know me, I may come off strong but most of my friends Know I am there for them. I tell them thetruth no matter how much it hurts. I try to healp them. Most appreciate it, but may not like it.
"A true friend will risk loosing their friendship by telling you the truth."

Then do me a favor next time, just email me.
I understand you are trying to leave teh Wt and there will be issues every XJW has to work though.
If you gave the club a chance you might have liked it. There are some members who I know have different view point an opinions. I know who lifestyles are not "Christian" but they are memebers and accepted. I know God has to let them work out thoer issues. Some are going to take longer than others. I find the longer a person has been exposed to the Organization, the longer it takes for the person to heal.
I only heald a few simple rules to keep the peace:
1) nobody is allowed to promote one denomiation over another. Even though it is a Christian based Club, I don't permit that a one denomiation of Christian faith is true and another is false. I feel the members have to find thier own path in thier walk with Jesus.
2) no personal assult on any member.
3)A link must be claerly marked. Many use link form other denominational websites. I just ask they are posted so a memeber can
choose whether they want to go there.
4) all adult profiles must be marked adult.
5) no Wt bashing. There are enough club, groups and boards which do.
My goal is to help the XJW heal and show the realpower of the gospel of Jesus. One day you may be able to forgive Jehovah's Witnesses.
It is a very well moderated board.
I just don't permit WT bashing. It defeats the purpose and just keeps the XJW where they are in anger. I never seen an XJW who reamins in an angry state after a period of "Mourning" the loss of no longer accepted by the Watchtower. If the XJW does not get over the anger then you allow the Watcthower to have more power over your life than when you were in the Organization.
I feel the greatset power and Wintess for Jesus is when an XJW not only accepts Christ but to move and live life everyday.

Tina I have to disagree with you. I have found the peace I am searching for.
Many became Jehovah's Witness in the first place in their seach for serving God.
I am just finding it more disturbing how everyone want to appear toleratent, moderate, compassionate, except towrds one view. If you guys are claiming who yuo are, it is not showing up in the posting here.
Mike started this off post for his personal aganeda. He could have said, " Thank you for offering but I felt your goals and purpose would not match the person whom I lie to take over my board." Instead he ned to vent in a thread. I am just wondering why he did this instead of just saying, "Thanks, but no thanks." I did spare him but not post what he tried to do over in my club.
