  Oh No, Not Again!

  last night, around 8:30 (sat., 10/19), it appears the serial snipers struck again.. if you travel south on down route 95, past spotsylvania, where two shootings took place, you come to a small town called ashland, va. there is a pondersoa steak house right off the highway.

  a 37 year old man was walking out with his female companion, and he was hit by a single bullet to the abdomen.

  they closed off route 95 entirely.

  Francois, my point should have been obvious. You were going on and on about immigrants and how terrorists are entering the U.S. and what a threat these immigrants are and how its all the Democrats fault. What you seem to overlook is the fact that guys like McVeigh and Kaczinski, two of the worst terrorists this counttry has ever seen, are born-in-the-USA citizens.

  I get real tired of listening to people who blame all the problems in the U.S. on immigration. Yes there are people here illegally, yes some of them are criminals, yes some of them abuse welfare. There might even be a few terrorists who slip in. So what? There are thousands of people in each of those categories born here. Should we kick them out? (Oops, can't do that.) But lumping all immigrants together or closing the borders off is not a solution.

  Ewanchuk v. Ewanchuk: JW grandparents' rights case

  by expatbrit in

  earlier this month, the supreme court of the northwest territories rendered judgement on this case, involving grandparents rights of access to their grandchildren and their right to expose the grandchildren to their religion.

  practising jehovahs witnesses.. tracy ewanchuk (respondent): the mother of asia and alecsa.

  a second is that he views their exposure to his religious practices as something that is healthy for them.

  Scully:

  I guess when the grandparents are JWs, they are incapable of tearing families and children apart'', whereas if the parents are JWs and the grandparents are not, it becomes "very damaging and increase[s] the damage to children".

  The other feature I want to discuss is the rights of access for both parents and the right of both access parent and custodial parent to have free interchange of information and to teach the child what he believes as well as what the custodial parent believes. This is all part of family life. Lots of people disagree on many things. Children are entitled to know that and to know the access parent as well as the custodial parent as a person.

  Pretty language there, Mr. How. But what about when the grandparents want to shove what THEY believe down the grandchildren's throats against the wishes of the custodial parent??

  Can you give any example where Mr. How is trying to defend some kind of double standard based on whether the grandparents are JWs or not? I sure don't see it in the quotes you listed? I don't think taking kids to a church or a Kingdom Hall once or twice a year qualifies as 'shoving it down their throats.'

  I detect just a faint hint of bias from the posters on this thread. Try this: If the grandparents were Catholic, and the daughter-in-law was a JW, how would you feel about this case?

  and then this.

  Hawk:

  The roof project didn't work out the way we hoped. Damn.

  Love, Scully

  No problem.

  I gotta few ideas.

  what's with the coded messages? What's a roof project, and why should I care to read about it?

  i have been searching for a job since march, and finally got one waiting tables at a pool hall.

  they fired me today due to "pushing" someone that i asked to excuse me.

  then i was told that my "attitude" was a reason.

  Jes, sorry to hear about your job loss. I lost my job last year, its not fun. Hang in there.

  Have you thought about getting more education? Its a great investment. I waited way too long to go back to school, but it definitely was worth it for me.

  Educating Palmer (Part I)

  by Zechariah in

  2. friends

  now that you've all met palmer allow me to offer a lesson about life from a this made up scenario.. imagine palmer has the reasoning ability of a human.. palmer has a typewriter by which he types letters to me.

  this is his way of communicating with me.

  it is analogous to prayer for humans.

  Zecheriah, this is an awesome scenario. The analogy is perfect, and the questions you have raised are head-scratchers. I can't wait to see what kind of responses you get to this thread. You get a 'G' on use of illustrations!!!

  Hey comforter,

  Have you noticed that the society has totally given up on the claim that our generation has seen an unprecedented increase in the frequency, intensity, and damage caused by earthquakes? I had always been taught this was clear proof of Jesus' sign being fulfilled. And I was taught that this was a composite sign, i.e. that all parts of it had to occur at once. Therefore, if the earthquakes part has not been fulfilled, then there is no sign. Think about that.

  No apologies

  p.s. I also spent a lot of time trying to convince people that the sign was being fulfilled in our day. I guess I was misinformed.

  Swan, I had a similar experience regarding 607. There is nothing to support it! The Let Your Kingdom Come book, printed in 1981, has an appendix that tries to explain why they still support this date, and admits that all the evidence points to 587. When I came online about a year ago, it was my research on this topic, and the flood, and then the UN involvement that finally caused the scales to fall from my eyes.

  For fun, have you checked the age of the pyramids vs. the date given for the flood? Its amazing how we all just bought this stuff!
