i was stunned by this dismal piece that i read in forbes magazine recently.
coming from the uk it is astonishing to me that an affluent nation as is the us, cannot provide better protection for the health and welfare of its citizens.
i was especially astonished by the fact that insurance companies withdraw their coverage while a person is sick and in need of help.
Yeah. One of the valid arguments against our current system is our health care.
I'm very upset about it. I just don't believe the Democrats when they promise Utopia. But look for Hillary to re-emerge in '08 asa victor because of this one issue.
It's stupid that the Republicans insist on leaving this wide open door to revolution, but oh well, let 'em eat cake bastids gonna git ders soon...

everybody's situation is different, of course, and everybody has their own choices to make.. but do you recall that when we were dubs, we were constantly urged to go out in service, because people needed to hear what we thought was the truth?
they would use that scripture by paul, "i consider myself a debtor to all men" etc.
to enforce the moral compulsion to go door to door.. now that we know the truth about the truth; how obliged are we to tell our family?

Now that we know the truth about the truth; how obliged are we to tell our family? Does anyone feel like they need to save their family from the grips of this cult? Is it even possible?
My family is still largely in, I wonder if I am morally obliged to "preach" to them, that what they are teaching and believing is wrong. thoughts?

along the lines of old soul's plea to afin, and afin's in abiltily to provide scriptual guidance/proof/support for old soul's questions; i began to think.. have you ever given guidance/support/councel with the written publications because there were no scriptures?.
when i was a mini-servant around 1984, there was a "brother" who would brag about his oral sex encounters with his new wife.
i knew it was "wrong" (also a little crude), but i coundn't find a scripture for the councel.
Oh yeah. I was totally up on all the latest intricacies of the Paradiso d'Bethel

the cut and paste will probably have a large advertisement blocking part of the article, so it is better to just use the threads, but here is part of the story anyway.

noun: a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies.
reality: digital chewing gum, where millions upon millions of teenagers and middle-aged teenagers with fetid mucous for brains post completely ignorable and depressingly petty details of their sad and boring little lives.. action : put into same category as regis and kelly, slit wrists and never read again.. prophecy : ten years for now everybody in the world under twenty-five will have a blog and snore their entire lives away posting drivel and getting fatter cellulite riddled backsides by the hour.
in the year 2010 every blogger on the planet will simultaneously post his daily rubbish to the world wide net triggering off an armageddon of apathy and destroying the human race - thank the lord.. hs

Uh, no.
They will talk you into quitting the service before they let you join the dubs. And you can never rejoin the military after joining up.
Don't.

personnally, what upset me the most is all the wasted time.
i'm now 21 years old, you'll say that i'm still young but i know someone you were at the same elementary school than me and she's now in university.
The constant nagging feeling that I wasn't doing enough.
