No news yet. They gave the eyewitness to the abduction a lie detector test and they passed. A man stopped his truck and pulled the boy in.He was driving a old white Nissan pickup with a lot of rust and a camper with a full back window.
Why do people do this?
Snoozy...
a thread on the last page made me remember something from my early childhood.
remember congregation picnics and other outings?
i remember when i was little, probably only 4 - 5 years old; there was a huge congregation picnic at a park with food, games, etc.
I don't know if others did this but our congregations weren't aloud to keep score when they played ball...
I'm sure that had to in some way..but later you could hear some of them whisper.."We Won"...
And I remember a few "unbelieving husbands that were roped into the JW religion because of all the 'Fun" they had..picnics..fake New year parties..etc...
I think it was the social life that roped a few of them in.
If they ended that..I bet a few of them left..they hadn't stopped it when I left and they used to have some good old times!
Snoozy..
ps...we had potluck dinners too..the picnics didn't cost anything to the society..maybe they wanted the money we spent on the food for the picnics...Or maybe they were afraid we would have a chance to talk to each other...and discover there was a life outside of the JW religion?

This time a 13 year old boy.
Snoozy..it breaks my heart to know what these kids will have to go through..
my parents have been looking to refinance their home for a while now.
big tax mistakes in the janitorial business have left them stranded financially.
i have been able to help steer them away from potential problems with some of these fly by night credit councelers and refinance companies with the help of google.
I'm sure they will all receive a portion of the pot!
If they could talk to their creditors themselves they could save a lot. They (the creditors) may lower their rate and if they are able to refinance at a bank they would be much better off.
I considered refinancing one time and talked to a credit union..the rate was great and I would have paid my house of 10 years earlier..but when I kept questioning I found out I was going to be paying them $6,000. to do this up front!They didn't think I could do the homework..Idiots..
If the house rate is pretty high it would definately pay to refinance at a lower rate..but make sure they aren't hiding a bunch of outrageous fees in the refi.
Usually a bank is a good way to go.
If their credit is bad they may have a higher interest rate but the way banks figure the interest is better than the way credit companyies do and you end up paying a lot less.
Did you know one place may offer a really low interest rate and another place may have a higher interest rate and yet the higher rate..because of the way they calculate the interst may be less payment a month, less interest..and pay off the principal faster ?.
Be sure you find out how much the payment will be and when it will be paid off.
Also be wary of paying someone else to make the payments..this is a well known scam among insurance agencies and financial advisors..
They collect all their customers money and don't make the payments..it takes a while before it catches up to them ..late notices of course come to them so you know nothing about it..and then next thing you know they are on a permanent vacation ..with your money!
And you get stuck more in debt than you were..
Snoozy...
i'm thinking about joining the aaa auto club.
my car is getting along in years and isn't going to get replaced any time soon.
i'm imagining that my stranded-on-the-side-of-the-road moment is imminent.
I would definately get it!
Or some kind of roadside service.
When hubby was alive we didn't need it. He could do anything to fix a car..
But now I wouldn't be without it. I've had cars towed..(flatbed) and batteries charged and tires fixed..locked my keys in the car at a cemetary..no one around..phone locked in the car with my extra key in my purse..Thank goodness the office in the entrance was open and they let me use their phone and wait inside..it was raining.
They came in about half and hour and got my car open in no time!
Well worth the almost $100. a year I have to pay..
There are probably cheaper ones..I have the extended also. Towes over 100 miles..I did notice they are putting alimit on the amount of calls you can have now..haven't read it all yet..guess I better..but my car now is in pretty good shape..
Snoozy..
many of us make this a priority after the holiday's to take off a few extra pounds.. i had a baby in august of 2005 and have a handful (or more) of extra around the mid-section and vowed last new year's that i was going to get fit and take off the poundage.. well, here it is january of 2007 and i think i weigh a bit more than i did last year.
geez, age + baby + sugar addictions = a big problem (lol).
so, i found a new 'way of eating' that blows my mind.
Has anyone here tried the Special K diet?
I know one person that did and she lost at least 20 pounds in a few months.
You have Special K (cereal or bar) for two of your meals and the third meal is a regular meal..
Snoozy..who could stand to lose a "few" pounds...
Edited to add..I heard it wasn't wise to lose more than 2 or 3 pounds a week...it's supposed to be easier to keep off if you go slow..and better for you
i've been online for about an hour tonight and norton has warned of four computer attacks.
yesterday norton popped at least 6 times.
in the past i have gone for weeks without any warnings of attack.
Can anyone recommend a good anti-spyware program?
I have a message saying my computer is infected with spyware.
I looked at Best Buy for one but didn't know which one to get..I heard there are free ones on the computer but when I tried one it downloaded and then said there was a charge to get rid of the spy!
Snoozy..my computer is also going slow but only on this site..
seeing as i have the wt in front of me today, i thought you'd enjoy the questions from readers from the february 15, 2007 article on the evils and pagan origins on toasting or clinking of glasses.
the article specifically mentions how not everything today that was of pagan origin is necessarily bad, and sites "wedding rings" as being of pagan origin, but it's not viewed like that now.
then, incredibly, they go on and say that while toasting might not be considered a religious practice today, there's "good reason" for christians to avoid it------without giving any valid reason why other than: do as we say:.
It's funny to me as I read this..In my opinion Wedding rings are still a religious symbol...and yet they wear them!
When people get married they have the rings on a special pillow..like it is an offering...
Then they sometimes bless the rings..in certain religions...
Then when it's all over they take special pictures of "The rings on the fingers"...
And god forbid if you lose them at sometime in the marriage..bad luck...
That's why a lot of folks won't buy their rings at a pawn shop..
And yet they can (JW bosses ) overlook these points so they can do what they want...they figure the JW's probably wouldn't stand for that to be a false religion thing so they make excuses ...
Yep..lots of "Religious" ties to a wedding ring..the toast and EVERTHING else in the wedding feast!
I can remember when they didn't even approve of alcohol at the receptions..
And the wedding party were not allowed to think they were special that day..Sad....
And you weren't allowed to sign your present...didn't want you to get praised over another present that may not be as good..
Snoozy...
is she for real?
what do you know about her and books?
she is on montell williams right now.. blueblades.
I quit watching Montel BECAUSE of her!
I couldn't stand the way she mislead so many and he encourages it!
I've read too much about cold readings to take her seriously. I think Montel has his hand in her pot!!!
Snoozy..who knows anyone with the right training could pull the same thing off.
sad to see people so effected by this religon that they resort to violence.
i was glad to here no one was fatally ingured.
.
I knew some Todaro's in the Hazelwood Mo cong. They must be in their 80's by know though.
Isn't Columbia a college town?..Could be anyone..
The Todaros I knew were German (The wife) and he was African American..I think she was Ruby and he was Sam.
Well..the Watchtower Society always said to be on the lookout for the people to start attacking the KH's...another WTS prophecy fulfilled...
I guess it must be getting near the end of things...
I'm scared!...
You know that's what they will be saying. ..(Big sigh....)
Snoozy....
