I will say that I have been surprised this thread has not reached 146 pages as the werewolf one has. (No offense to game players--just sayin')

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?"

Yeah, and why do they make the carts wider than the damned aisle?????

did anyone on here ever have a paedophile in thier congregation?

by looloo in

if so, did it bother you that he had been reprooved and forgiven rather than reported to the police?

Tatiana

Yes, and he only went to a hospital for a month for alleged schizophrenia. WTH has that got to do with molesting kids?

Anyway, on this thread alone, there are 12 or 13 that were known, and yet we're to believe it's "rare?"

Medical Billing & Coding

i'm trying to learn it on my own billing mostly medicare and medi-cal.

i don't know where to start.

i'm trying to learn on my own w/out taking classes.

Hi Sandy...I worked doing data entry for a medical claims co for a year. Don't know if that's what you'r looking for. It's hard to find just the codes. Try typing in "medical codes"....not coding, and you will get some results that aren't just school advertising.

I found this link.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal. alt

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. alt

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. alt

When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

WT Sues 2005; Blames Puerto Rico's Controlled Access Law For Lack Of Growth

by Justitia Themis in

the watchtower brought suit in puerto rico claiming that the controlled access law is the reason their growth rate has stalled.

i lost some formating trying to get it to post, but here are some excerpts:.

watchtower bible and tract society of new york, et al., plaintiffs vs. roberto sanchez ramos, et al., defendants no.

Tatiana

For the aforementioned reasons, the Court hereby GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Defendants' "Motion to Dismiss Under Rule 12(b)(6) and Opposition to Plaintiffs' Request for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction" (docket No. 13). Plaintiffs' facial Constitutional challenges are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Plaintiffs' "as applied" Constitutional claims and § 1983 claims remain before the Court. On or before August 29, 2005, Defendants SHALL answer the parts of the complaint that have not been dismissed.IT IS SO ORDERED.In San Juan, Puerto Rico, this 8th day of August, 2005.

Such claims, which shall remain active before this Court, will be addressed at a more opportune time, after the parties have been afforded the opportunity to conduct discovery in this matter in order to provide the Court with an adequate factual background under which to make its determinations in this matter.

So, this was in 2005? Can anyone translate the legal wording? Is it ongoing?

What type of person are you attracted to now?

by Layla33 in

i was just thinking about this the other day, about how my ideas of a romantic partner have changed since being a jw.. growing up, i thought i would marry a very upstanding jw, we would pioneer together, do missionary work, have children, see the world.

(never had any thoughts about bethel, though.

) so what it boiled down to was a stepford husband, up tight, not the least bit sexual, closed minded bore.. so now that i have grown up, seen the world, been married (and actually picked a good man the first time, although it didn't work out), i just contrast that with what i am attracted to now.. i like them open minded, earthy, i love artistic types because i am a published writer, hair doesn't matter to me (long/short, bald, etc), challenges convention, very sexual, still like a traveling man.. i am just curious if you anyone else can compare and contrast how their ideas have changed since breaking out the group-think of the jw organization..

Seriously???.....a spiritual alt /not religious......open-minded, non-conforming, peace-loving, alt honest, artistic, alt long-haired, non-smoking, health-conscious, feminist, (which only means someone who doesn't think they're "helping" ME clean up the house) .......a kind, dancing alt man. (Although in my more knowledgeable years, I'm thinking a woman wouldn't be too bad.)

A man who thinks alt is from the devil...

Someone who can spell. Who can hold an intelligent conversation about religion, politics, Dafur, etc, Who can dress up or dress down. Romantic, but not jealous. Real love and jealousy do not mix. Jealousy is something I can't take. Two grown people are going to do what they want to do no matter what. So, why be jealous? You don't have to know where I am 24/7, and I don't want to know where you are either. I'm a grown-ass woman....not a kid. Also, I'm not so insecure that if I don't know where you are, I get frantic and start calling all your friends. Just let me know you're ok. No, I will NEVER break into your email account!

Living together is not on my agenda at the moment. Did that for 7 years in my last relationship. If I ever did decide to live with anyone again, I want my own bedroom. I need privacy and space. I need "alone" time. Although, sneaking into my room at night is very welcome......... , as I am a sex fiend, so you'd have to be very kinky, alt experimental, and adventurous. alt alt (NO, NO, NO--not THAT adventurous!!) A giver, since I am a giver. No takers.

Social drinker......or not. If I think of anything else, I'll let you all know.

Oh, Oh, Oh......someone who can grow veggies! alt
