Oprah Awards $50,000 to Silent Lambs

ah ha!!

now that i got your attention.... well, oprah hasn't yet awarded $50,000 to silent lambs, but she very well could if enough of us "nominate" silentlambs (bill/sheila/joe/barbara, et al) for oprah's "use your life award.

" any regular oprah-watchers will know what i'm referring to; that during the season, she presents various individuals (on monday's show each week) with this award for their service to their cause (along with the big fat check)... .

the interview with jean kraus' daughter was supposed to air tonight on connie chung.

cnn called today and said it was pre-empted until next week.

that's a shame because it took a lot of courage for michelle, jean's daughter, to speak out.. i hope they do show the interview next week.. devon mcbride.

Sam Beli

Sorry that it will be delayed. Any idea which day next week they will run this segment?

A Return to the Basics - Part I

by Farkel in

every so often we get so stuck with specifics and the latest wt scandals or doctrinal nuances that it's good to get back to the basics.

that is the purpose of this thread.

i cannot count the times that, when dubs arguments are demolished with quotes from their own literature and practices, they resort to this statement in sheer desperation: well, at least weve got the basics right.

Sam Beli

Thanks, Farkel. Great as usual.

Excellent, Sheila! I applaud your letter. It took great courage to knock on that door, demand an audience and read that letter to them.

You may very well be disfellowshipped now as a result, but I know you will wear that badge with pride and I am proud of you for it. It is an honor to know you and your husband.
