ever had that said to you?...outlaw .
The JW organization and its members do a good job of looking bad on their own by their hypocrisy, lying, child molestation charges, breaking up families, etc.
I do not want to be so mean, but 'wake up and smell the coffee'. Or have you not noticed the 'stench' from all the unchristian and wrong things the JW organization has done over the past 50 years+.

has anyone out there taken online classes only to obtain a degree?
i finally bit the bullet and will be returning to school in september.
i went to a community college many years ago, but never finished what i started.
Hi:
I have taken on-line classes at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Right now I am on hiatus for the remainder of the year.
I thought I would not like it bacause of like the class room setting. However, I really do like the on-line classes. Yes, they are harder and require more assigned papers and work, but the convenience of being in your own comfort zone and not have to rush to a class ( after work) is great.

the andrea yates verdict came down again and it was not guilty.
she will be sent to a mental facility instead of prison where in time, and after therapy, she may in all liklihood be reintegrated into society at some point.
what do you think of the verdict?
Thank you Quandry.
I suffered post-partum depression when I had my daughter. When she was about 3 months olds I was so depressed, sick (I had a very bad pregnancy that had me sick for two years after giving birth by C-Section), and physically tired that I went to an upstairs window with her in tow. I called my mother who was downstairs and she quickly ran up-stairs and took her away from me. I was not insane but so depressed and sick -and yet I had help from my family members and only one child.
How much more when this women clearly had mental problems and no help from her husband. People need to understand the entire story.
Right now my daughter is suffering with her two boys ( 18 months old and 3 1/2 years old) because they are toddlers, very active, she works full time, and her boyfriend sometimes has to work all kinds of hours just to help make financial ends meet. (P.S.- the three year old is exhibiting boarder line signs of autism and ADD). She is depressed a lot and has not had a vacation in years.I try to talk with her every night on the phone to be of comfort, to sympathize, and to give suggestions to help her. My family is having a family reunion next week in NC and she definitely does not have the monies for the airline fares for herself and the boys ( her boyfriend is working, cannot make the trip) and the hotel costs. I am paying for her entire trip and for myself and my husbands. Why? Because I want her to get relaxation and a vacation. When a person is stressed like that with young children, anything can happen- no matter if they love them. You have to recognize the signs.
This women's husband had to know and see the mental illness signs, etc. and ignored them. He is just as guilty.

i used to hear about good `ol days when people were happy dubs.
people had fun, did things together and it seems by the tone of the converstaions that there was less control over every tiny detail of the brothers lives.. i remember the 1st time someone told me as an unbaptised publisher that i would eventually be 'counceled' for not wearing a suit.
i was utterly stunned!
When they started with the different committees.

tonight would have been my long meeting but i didn't attend.
however, my wife attended and she just came back and told me about an announcement they made in the form of a "letter to all congregations..." aparently they (wts) want everyone to be prepared for disasters and measures will be taken to make sure congregations and their members are prepared.
each member will provide their number, cell numbers, and numbers of close relatives.
When my husband and I were in the Lakeview Cong in Queens, NY -our entire congregation had a list of all in the cong, their addresses, and phone numbers.
This is not unusual at all, and it does make sense in case of disasters, etc.
On the flip side, it may be the orgs way of keeping tabs on everyone, etc.
Who really knows the warped minds of leaders of a cult?
