friends

so when the kids get out of school we plan on going away for 3 to 4 weeks for vacation but we want to go somewhere that is actually enjoyable and not just packed full of things for the kids to do.

cruises are out, to confining.

i live in the u.s. so i want to abroad an continue to get the kids passports stamped so they can be exposed to as many cultures as possible.. .

Any tips for safe web surfing?

by compound complex in

greetings to all who surf shark-infested internet waters.. after i was hit by ransomware the other day, i did research on so-called safe sites.

it seems more and more sites are being infected deliberately by hackers.

i went to a legit-looking site on a famous artist and -- wham!

There is a Linux distribution built specifically for what you are concerned about

My wife has been to Belize. You are 100% correct thoughit is beautiful. She has 3 cousins there who want us to visit for the longest.

I think she might like the idea. I was looking forward to either Ghana or New Zealand, but this is getting better.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am looking into a few with the boss. I can tell from past experiences and her tone that Europe and the middle east are not on the list

I am african american but a while back we did DNA testing on my side and we found out we have roots with the Hausa people of Africa. However with the current crisis we wrote of visiting Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger for the time being especially for a long period right now. We were looking into going to Ghana as my wife from Jamaica has roots there. We are really thinking about that, as well as Mali for similar reasons.

We want to be very adventurous! We have been to literally everywhere in the US... not literally but enough to know we are done here

We have been to most of the Carib

jgnat as much as I would like to I can't go to Canada for that long of a period because I know my kids would probably not get the culture shock I want them to have. Maybe for a shorter trip. My wife also hates Toronto so every time I mention Canda to her she goes into her discussion about all her family that lives throughout Canda etc.. etc... I actually was talking to another poster from Canada and she mentioned Sas so I may plan a shorter trip there.

Been to U.K., not very enjoyable and a smidge to "something" for me and the wife. Scotland however is on the list

Has anyone been to New Zealand? We also were interested in Mali or Ghana as well? Any experiences would be great.

jwsurvey.com article that fleshes out the apostate talk

by confusedandalone in

http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/the-unbaptized-apostate-of-salem-massachusetts.

pretty interesting read.

especially since the one who sparked it is an unbaptized person.

It amazes me to see the level of control that the religion imposes upon people.

It is as if they feel their religion is so important that they can censor everything that its members say. Sure people signup to be members but to feel that gives the leaders carte blanche to control everything they say and do is ridiculous. What is worse is that the elders never sway in pushing the agenda as well. I know as many of them give these talks they are smart enough to realize what is happening. For goodness sake the woman was not even a member.
