'Now, my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.'

ONCE upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were
Flopsy,
Mopsy,
Cotton-tail,
and Peter.
They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree. -

Esmeralda, I wish there was something more I could contribute aside from a few more links. The children always lose. I sincerely hope she can present a convincing enough argument for the courts to rule in her favor and limit the children's contact with their cult family. Very sad.

Has she contacted her state's ACLU office? Perhaps they could provide some advice considering the religious nature of the case.

Dear AhHah, As I was reading your reply I thought of many reasons why you are missed and often thought of by the "old timers" here.You helped me learn much about myself and was a source of comfort during some very trying times. You weren't afraid to talk about my assault and that helped me more than you'll ever know. That went a long way in helping me to open up to people(you and waiting). You are a great writer and would often share a poem or two. I always looked forward to reading your work. The poem you wrote for your wife was so beautiful. You are both so fortunate to have found each other. We were fortunate too that our paths crossed at that particular period in time. It's helped to make the transition to what is real so much easier. I'm glad to hear that you and your sister are once again family. Family is so precious. I'm looking forward to the day when this happens for me. Again, thanks for the reply and for your kind words. Give my best to Puppylove.
Take care,

AhHah and Puppylove, Since this is Simon's first anniversary I've spent much of the morning reading some of our blasts from the past. I found this and thought of you two and hope all is well. So many changes for the better over the past year for most of us. Stop by and let us know what you've been up to.
Peace,

Is Carbon-14 outdated or flawed?
by Amazing init was asked below if c-14 dating is an outdated technology.
not to my knowledge.
c-14 is viable for former living organisms that have been dead less than 60,000 years.

Hi Amazing, Interesting posts. Even if subject samples were contaminated it would be possible to remove most of the contaminates from the sample with acid and other solvents. Although some would remain, how significant would the amount be?

Hi Shauna, I feel free to discuss my cult experience and he is knowledgable in this area. This had much to do with why I chose him.
When I first read through the list I saw myself too. I struggled with thinking that there might be some way I could still associate on a limited basis. Naaaaaa. It had to be either all or nothing. I've accepted this and saw it for myself.Best wishes to you,

Bio: Margaret Thaler Singer, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and emeritus adjunct professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. She received her Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology from the University of Denver, and she has been a practicing clinician, researcher, and teacher for nearly fifty years.
Singer's major area of work--how people influence one another-- grew directly out of her undergraduate and graduate work in speech and psychology, and the study of cults has been a special area of her research. Over the years Singer has counseled and interviewed more than three thousand current and former cult members: In 1978 she was awarded the Leo J. Ryan Memorial Award, named in honor of the U.S. Representative murdered in Jonestown, Guyana.Over the past two decades Singer has been an active consultant and expert witness in many legal cases and has appeared frequently on television discussing influence and persuasion.
She is co-author of Cults in Our Midst and "Crazy" Therapies: What Are They? Do They Work?
The author of more than one hundred articles published in professional journals, she has received numerous national honors for her various research work, including awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the American College of Psychiatrists, the National Mental Health Association, the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and the American Family Therapy Association. She also held a Research Scientist Award from the National Institute of Mental Health and was the first woman and first clinical psychologist elected president of the American Psychosomatic Society.
Singer lives in Berkeley with her husband, Jay, a physicist whose special contributions have been in the development of magnetic resonance imaging. Her son is a public relations and political consultant, and her daughter is a resident in orthopedic surgery. Singer is the happy grandmother of twin boys.
