  Dub-in-the-Pub Raided For Fraudulent Claims.

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  i've just been told that my elder drinking pal, mr dub-in-the-pub, has been raided by the dss.

  apparently he's been drawing invalidity benefit for the last 15 years (why?

  ) and hasn't informed social security that he's also in full time work.

  i added a post below to janh, number 15, to address some realistic numbers.

  some have had difficulty in accepting the number of victims per pedophile i have used, i.e.

  i based this on what an attorney who prosecutes such cases against molesters told me.

  Child Abuse: opposing viewpoints/Jennifer A. Hurley book editor 1999

  page 128 " adult sex offenders report an average of 23 child victims"

  on another note, concerning Catholic coverups of priests sexual abuse,

  page 51,"Other religions may also be at fault for coverups.For example one clinician wrote of a Jehovah's Witness congregation's response to her male client's charges of sexual abuse against their minister:"Victim aware that revealing sexual abuse by minister would likely (and did) result in 'disfellowship,' isolation from all significant others, due to his 'lie'"

  "asks how I am" for the 10th time

  being forgetful is quite common with ADD people

  A good therapist could be finished with her in 3-6 months.If her insurance will cover it,she'll be glad she went.

  A good book is "Driven to Distraction". Both Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison had ADD, so she's in good company.

  "Many with ADD have a "special something," a hard to pin-down yet undeniable potential. If that potential can tapped the results can be spectacular." good luck

  JW's and Firearms?

  i'm curious to know the empire's current stance on gun ownership.

  when i was in, my stepdad told me what the society said dubs could and couldn't have as far as guns.

  long guns were acceptable, provided they were traditional hunting rifles since that was the only purpose one could have a gun for.

  Who cares what WT. says - they'll do a 180 in a couple months anyway!

  A couple years ago I worked for a dr.He invited me to his retirement party with his friends. He dressed up like a Mafia guy, white suit, hat, cigar, and "took out" his pager with his machine gun. Swore he'd never have a pager again.It was great.

  McVeigh vs Death Penalty

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a policitcal conservative, at least a fiscal conservative and sociel moderate.

  i support the death penalty, but i agree that our judicial system needs to overhaul how wwe treat criminals to achieve better rehabilitation results.

  and of course, withhold the death penalty in cases where there could be doubt.. in mcveigh's case, i believe that he deserves the death penalty.

  If Armageddon comes Sunday McVeigh will be dead forever.If it comes Tuesday he'll be resurected. According to WT.

  Timing is everything!
