i would like to send a personal email to the producer and maker of the segment on jws and the pedophile issue that was on dateline.
how do you contact them?.
thanks.
Thanks for posting this Megadude
I was wondering the same thing. I am going to send them an email right now thanking them for the good job. I thought it was excellent.
Thanks Elsewhere for providing the link.

hey y'all,.
just thought i'd share a great time i had today with yas.
i met salud and his wife for an early dinner.
Ha Ha Dana,
I got home and was going to post about what a nice time we had...and you'd already done it! Salud and wife were wonderful, warm people...we even joked about the camaraderie we used to feel as JW's whenever we met other dubs, and how we have that now with Ex JW's. But the kinship we feel is much deeper, and it's based on mutual acceptance of others...regardless of their beliefs.
This was a day of visiting for us. Just before we drove to Brandon to meet up with these guys, we had lunch with Venice and Michelle. Skipper was supposed to come, but he had to stay home and wash his hair, or some such lame excuse.
It really is a small world, Salud's wife knew people from the town Doug grew up in, and Michelle has had dinner at my Aunt and Uncle's in another state. Life is funny.
Anyway, we had a great day, I couldn't think of a better way to spend a day off work. Even seeing Dana was nice Thank you all for meeting us.
P.S. Dana, who is Et Al? I don't think I met them.

ice reservoirs found on mars.
Very interesting Nathan,
Thanks for sharing it with us. I am fascinated with what we might find on Mars or other planets.
Frankly, I'm tired of The God we have down here...so I'm kind of hoping there's a better one somewhere out there!

we've just got back from the whacky-warehouse playbarn / pub where we had liam's birthday party (5) with all of his class.. lot's of fun for all the kids, liam was bit overwhelmed with the attention but enjoyed it (esp.
the presents that he's just been opening).. ah, it's great to be normal and see the kids joining in .
btw: no righteous servants of the most high god jehovah were beheaded or otherwise harmed as part of this event.
Good for you Simon and Angharad
And Happy Birthday Liam
Isn't it wonderful to be able to raise your kids "normal"? Well, as normal as they can be with a dad like Simon.

well a year ago, i ended a five year relationship with a man i thought i'd marry and have babies with.
i left for lots of reasons but mainly because i'd lost myself and i wasn't really happy with him.. i moved into my own place and life has been an adventure.
i dated a 21 yr old, that was interesting haha.
I'm happy for you Mony. Thanks for the update.
I'm proud of you for figuring out what you want and need out of life right now...do you know how many people stumble along and never do that? The move should be stimulating. Hard and a little scary...but probably one of those things you'll look back on and say it was one of the best things you ever did.
And I don't think it's selfish to realize that you need time for yourself. There's a difference.
And just so you know...with the right person you can still experience that freedom to be yourself, and never suppress or repress yourself again. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

french philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.
this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.
Hands down, the best post I've ever read on this board.
I know that's not why you wrote it Hillary, but I think even a humble man like you should be able to accept a little heartfelt praise.
I'm printing this out to save for if and when I ever get an opportunity to rationally discuss this with any still JW family.
Thank you for your time and effort.

I'm so sorry honey. You expressed yourself very well. I went in and just hugged my sons, appreciating being with them again after reading your post.
Hillary Step, I also appreciated your quote.

well, i have been gone for over a month now.
i am surprised that people have been asking about me.
i just want to assure everybody that i am fine.
Hi Gil,
Nice to see you back again. So, you're moving to Vegas, eh?
Now you stand a much better chance of us meeting up. I love Vegas...can't wait to go back there again. So have a lot of fun, and learn how to actually make some money in that place so you can show me, ok?
