Clinton on WMD flap: 'Everybody makes mistakes'
by Yizuman inbill clinton on bush uranium line: 'everybody makes mistakes' former president accepts explanation on state of the union
wednesday, july 23, 2003 posted: 1:31 pm edt (1731 gmt).
washington (cnn) -- the white house, attacked by critics for a now-retracted line about iraq seeking uranium from africa in president bush's state of the union address, has gotten some surprising support from former president clinton.. "i thought the white house did the right thing in just saying 'we probably shouldn't have said that,' " clinton told cnn's larry king in a phone interview tuesday evening.

It's a back-handed compliment at best. He is saying that Bush messed up, and Bill's comments are keeping the fact that he messed up front-page news.

SOME THINGS THEY DON’T TELL YOU UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE
As a JW you cannot (on pain of disfellowshipping and shunning):
Salute the flag
Celebrate Christmas, Easter, Halloween, or any other holiday
Wear immodest clothing
Take a blood transfusion or allow your child to have one
Buy stuff at garage sales (items might have demons) (I’m not kidding)
Celebrate birthdaysAs a JW you must:
Sell literature door-to-door regularly
Attend 5 hours of meetings each week
Submit to your husband as the head of the household in everything
Believe that if your family is opposing your religious beliefs that Satan is making them do it
Spend your vacation sweltering in a hot stadium attending a convention where you have to sit and listen to boring talks ALL DAY long for days on end in uncomfortable "appropriate" clothing (read: pantyhose in 100 degree heat.)
Believe that Jesus is another incarnation of Michael the Archangel
Attend a yearly memorial of Christ’s death by passing around a plate of bread and cup of wine but not having any (JWs believe that only a special “upper class” are entitled to do this)
Congregation elders rule your life… they will reprimand you for things like dressing improperly, not putting in enough hours selling magazines, missing meetings, going to inappropriate movies or listening to “worldly” music
Spank your infant/child if it can’t sit still through a 2-hour boring meeting
They even want to regulate what goes on in married people’s bedrooms (no oral sex, etc.)
RESEARCH this religion before you join!!!!

When you go to the doctor ask for blood sugar testing. You may have low blood sugar or glucose intolerance. That would explain why the alcohol helps because it turns to sugar in the bloodstream.

Ask her if all that stuff Ray wrote was false, why hasn't the Society sued him for libel or slander?
