i was reproved at the age of 17 and, believe me it was a nightmare at home.
first, my parents felt such shame over me - i was such an evil disappointment to them.
i would hear my mother talk on the phone to other sisters about how sad she was about the way i had turned out.
I was marked by an elder for no reason. He just did not like the fact I knew he was controlling guy that uses a wink and and eye method.
I questioned how the whole congregation felt indebted to him and his wife for moving there to serve where the need is greater.
He was the weathliest man in town.
they are saying in california that we will have a record low turn out at the polls.
i did my duty and voted first thing this morning.
i just hope who i voted for wins!!!!!
Most people if had the choice, would put their children in private education.
Most don't have the funds to put thier children in a private school. To leave a child in a failing public school is worse. this is where a vocher system makes a difference. Unitl public schools catch up, and if had children I want a voucher have a choice to put them in a private school or help afford part of their education. I like to have the CHOICE!
My prefer choice would be home schooling. Most home schooled kids are ahead of kids in public schools.
BTW, what ever happened to parental involvemnt of education? In days before public schools it was their job to educate their children. More and more parents are depending on a school whether public or private to do teh bulk while not caring what goes on.

Grunt,
I disagree with you here. Jeb has been a good Govenrnor here in Florida. He has done a lot for business to create a job base. I am glad mc Bride lost I fear to fund his school programs he have to hike taxes of start an income tax. I moved from Taxchutttes just to get away from overtaxation.
You can't promise everything and not have a way to pay for it. Let's face it, the senoirs wer not scared off this time or bought into the fact Mc Bride can provide a drug benefit by medicare ( federal program, a gov can't promise something he can't deliver. Gov has no influence on Medicare only Medicaid.)
SAdly the teachers union ran Mc Bride's Campain. I for school vocheres for failing public schools who are not teaching. Money talks so if the money was not taken out of the public school sustem, they might just have to compete
my wife, liza, came home from work this morning (she was doing the 3rd shift thing) and said she was leaving me.
this afternoon at 1 pm i took her to the bus station.
at 4:20 pm she was off to nyc.
Prayer does change things. YOu are in my prayers from a woman who has been divorced twice.
if you had unlimited skills, time and web space and cost was no object, what kind of xjw web site would you build and why?
do you think there is a need for more types of site?
i ask this as part of my market research for building a site.
I have both an Egroup and Website:
My webpage is unfinished at this time, but you can look at myne:
http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/exjwchristians/
Here is my Egroup: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christianexjehovahswitnesses/
It is Christian based, but all are invited.
a humorous moment just happened on the news.
the news crews were all staking out john mohammeds ex-wifes house where the car was registered.
neighbors said they go around wearing the muslim dress and shit.
I wish they reporter would have asked the JWS about the Connie Chung show and CNN interivew with Silentlambs.

You misinterpeted the whole thing. I was talking about the Jehovah which the Watcthower creates which is different for the Jehovah oof the Bible.

It is like when a child is ready to be born, but the mother has no strength to deliver it."-2 Kings 19:3. Oh the feeling when our names were read from the Service Meeting that we now Disfellowshipped of our Letter of Disassociation was read. The thoughts that ran though the mind of our families and friends we have made at the Kingdom Hall all those years. "______, must have done something wrong." Branded as a no longer in favor with Jehovah, subconsciously feeling separated from your Creator. Never experience the pain cause by the Watchtower enforced shunning. The above Scripture is how a Jehovah's Witness feels when the Elders at a Judicial Committee vote to disfellowship! Just as Hezekiah felt when the King of Assyria taunted Israel that Jehovah would not protect him. Of course Hezekiah did not panic, but turn to Jehovah in prayer for guidance. Just as the Watchtower taunts those former Jehovah's Witness to summit to their rules of they will die at Armageddon. How you the former Jehovah's Witness, can not pray to Jehovah because he does not hear your prayers because you are disfellowshipped or worse disassociated, Jehovah's Witness announce this though the congregation though out the world just as the King of Assyria did to Jerusalem. Hezekiah is lying that Jehovah can save you. Jehovah's Witness so not have a relationship with Jesus. Jesus can save us. Organization would lead you to believe he can't save the Jehovah's Witness. Jesus saves many former Jehovah's Witnesses every day. They number of Former Jehovah's Witnesses who put faith in Jesus is growing at a rate which alarms the Watchtower. Just as Jehovah heard Hezekiah prayer, he answers the prayers of many former Jehovah's Witness by leading to his son Jesus. Just as the King of Assyria was defeated when an angel slain an 186,000 of his army. King of Assyria went home in defeat. Next the King of Assyria went to the temple of his false idol God and was slain by his sons. The leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses must pray to the false Jehovah idol of the Watchtower Organization. In the future we will see how Jesus will defeat the false God of the Watchtower. It will piece the heart of many Jehovah's Witnesses who put the trust in the Organization.
