  Our attorney tells us we should just hand it over.

  That is because s/he realizes that your husband's ex was requesting all of that information in order to file the FASFA (Federal Application for Student Financial Aid). A FAFSA must be filed with the federal government in order for any college student to be considered for financial aid of ANY sort, including grants, loans and scholarships, from the college of his/her choice. The income of both parents is considered.

  I am recently divorced and this is the first year I had to file the form as a divorcee. Basically, I had to prepare my ex's income tax for him, in order to be able to complete the FAFSA for the two children who are still his dependents according to our divorce decree and federal tax law.

  Of course, I had prepared the FAFSAs for the family for the past three years and also was the one who paid the bills the past 25 years. So he was okay with it because 1/ he hates paperwork and 2/ he knew I'd keep the personal information from the kids. He's of the mind that he has to provide for them, but they don't need to know the details of his financial picture. That's okay by me...

  Could Danny fix the errors in this release? Having worked in public relations before, it is IMPERATIVE that press releases be proofread. Journalists take them far more seriously if they are.

  Errors in Paragraph 2: "deal with dissent" not "decent"; and "was also made public" not "make".

  In Paragraph 3: delete "after" after "Several years ago"

  Paragraph 5: There is a double negative in the sentence: "Perhaps we are seeing the beginnings of an aggressive new campaign similar to the one seen with the Church of Scientology: No public dissenting views will not be tolerated." Change to either "No public dissenting views will be tolerated" or "Public dissenting views will not be tolerated."

  Another suggestion for the last sentence in paragraph 5: Change it to read, "It seems this time, with the www.davidgladden.com website, the Watchtower Society used the threat of copyright law violation to eliminate dissemination of contradictory quotes from their publications, in addition to embarrassing and potentially incriminating internal documents that were leaked by several inside sources."

  Paragraph 6: Capitalize the "S" on "society" in the first sentence.

  This press release was a GREAT idea, by the way. Good luck David and Danny!

  ST. PATRICK'S DAY TIDBITS from U.S. Census Bureau Statistics

  • There are 34 million U.S. residents who claim Irish ancestry. This number is almost nine times the population of Ireland itself (3.9 million). Irsih is the nation's second most frequently reported ancestry, trailing only German.
  • There are three states in which Irish is the leading ancestry group: Delaware, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Irish is among the top firve ancestries in every state but two (Hawaii and New Mexico).
  • There are 54 counties where Irish is the largest observed ancestry group. Forty-four of them are in the northeast, with 14 in New York, 11 in Massachusetts, and five in New Jersey (outnfree is part Irish and born in NJ ).
  • In Middlesex County, Mass., 348,978 residents are of Irish ancestry. Among the 54 counties where Irish is the largest observed ancestry group, MIddlesex had the highest population of Irish-Americans, with Norfolk County, Mass., second with 203,285.
  • A total of 4.8 million immigrants from Ireland have been admitted to the U.S. for lawful permanent residence since fiscal year 1820, the earliest year for which official immigration records exist. By fiscal year 1870, about half of these immigrants were admitted for lawful permanent residence.

  Rest in peace, Grandpa Mack and Daddy!

  And to all at JWD:

  May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks,
  May your heart be as light as a song,
  May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
  That stay with you all the year long.

  i just happened to come across the new article on the watchtower.org home page.

  as it happens i grew up with dyslexia, it wasn't easy not because of the dyslexia but how my mother through direction decided to act on it.

  well inaction more than act.

  As a mother who tried (and failed, thank God!) to bring her children up as JWs, I'm ashamed at how willing I was to believe the trite crap that was published in the publications concerning some serious problems, such as you highlight here about the article on dyslexia.

  As a future teacher, I was interested in participating in a school fair that educated grammar school children on learning disabilities and to learn how very many forms of dyslexia exist. I know I have a long way to go to really comprehend how this hidden disability can be combatted. I didn't even know there was such a category as "educational physiologist."

  Thanks for educating me.

  you can thank the watchtower society for this.. here is an email from my hosting company:.

  unfortunately it appears your site/account was involved in violation of using copyrighted material involved with watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania.".

  as a result of this abuse and activity, we will be unable to reinstate this account for any reason.. in addition, due to the nature of this abuse and the risk of transferring sensitive or illegal content if we were to provide you your files, we will be unable to provide with backups.. it is unfortunate that this has occurred, and we are aware that more than likely this was not your intent to host, however the fact remains it did exist and complaints were made.
