Thanks everyone for information provided. I believe I'll go ahead and help out, and just ignore any christian stuff that comes up. I'm a Land Surveyor, which is one of those trades that nobody cares about until they need one, and then we're vital.

Habitat for Humanity?
by og indoes anyone know anything about this organization, aside from the fact that jimmy carter is somehow associated with them?
i'm considering doing some volunteer work for them, but don't know really know much about them.
i believe they are "faith-based", which i'm not necessarily keen on, but they get people into houses and bypass government red tape, which i do like.

Thanks, this is the kind of thing I was looking for. I'd seen the God stuff on the site, but was wondering if I was going to have to deal with it live. Also, if there was any whiff of cultishness.
Incidentally, Valis, are you a Philip K. Dick fan?

Well, Dateline isn't bad. Also, I'm partial to pointing out that, at core, JWs teach that God is genocidal and will kill everyone who doesn't obey the Governing Body - put that baldly, some Witnesses will stop and think.

I don't think you can really support her - the potential for harm to your children is too great. I know this is pessimistic, but I'm in a similar situation and am finding no middle ground. JWs are really a pretty nasty cult under all the sweet talk and you have to think about your children.

This sure hits home, as my super-fine, faithful-witness wife is busily raising my children to stop acknowledging me. Thanks for posting Ozzie. I'm feeling rather bitter today and it helps to know others are dealing with broken family crap.

Patricia, for me, at least, the pain of realizing I had wasted much of my life made sticking around impossible. Also, my kids lives were at stake and I had to make a start on getting them out. What you are suggesting would be asking more than is reasonable, for very little gain.
OTOH, I do think people should DA, not let themselves be DF'd, whenever possible, to make a point to those who know them.

XENUS EVIL CULT.
by refiners fire ini look at his posting and his style of trying to slowly sneak his cult's theaching on to this board as deadly.. i take his attempt to draw just "one" person who may just be lurking and may be in an extremely vulnerable stage in their life very seriously.
that is why i make this post.
terrific.very noble.. just one thing, dave.. show me one example of xenu trying to recruit someone on this board to his cult.. i asked you before, but my request got buried under 10 million pages of bullshit.. my position is that you are publicly lynching this guy.. and hes done nothing.

LOL - gotta love it, RF is soliciting a solicitation. If he emails you, you have to be honest and let Dave know he tried!
