I know very little about Scientology, I would have to know the "do's" and the "dont's" before I could really say. My gut instinct says that JW's are worse, expecially for the children.

I agree with Terry's post.

Or if you are a rich republican and don't like the idea of helping poor people, then set the price cap at $2 a gallon and ditch the subsidy idea.

I say there ought to be a national price cap on a gallon of gas at $4 a gallon, I think the government should tax the heck out of oil company profits, and then use that money to give a monthly gas subsidy check of $200 to anyone who makes less than $50,000 a year. As a republican, I am normally against extra taxes, but in this instance I feel something must be done to help the working man.

It would be cool if we could have cars that run on water mass produced and if they could be practically run, then that would be better. But the sad thing is that they would find a way to make us pay $4 a gallon for water, and we still wouldn't be any better off financially.

The problem is not supply or demand it is corporate greed and speculation. There is plenty of oil, even here in the USA.

i was notified of this 15 minutes ago.. my boss found out that i have an eidetic memory, and is quite impressed that i can tell him who has paid fines, when, and how much.

he's a mess!.

i get a plaque, a reservation for the end-of-year banquet, and - if we had such a thing - parking space #1. the best he can do is a space right alongside the highway!

It probably means that private information revealed to JW clergy really isn't private and can be passed on to circuit overseers, district overseers and ultimately WT headquarters, thus there is no expectation of privacy within the JW system. Sure, the rank and file may be kept in the dark, but numerous other people will be notified.

Is it Feasible to File a Lawsuit against WBTS

for the damage that they've done to me as an individual, discouraged from taking school seriously, to forget the idea of college as it wouldnt and certainly never dream of working in this system, afterall the new order will be here by then.... the impact this religion has had on me has left me with some things that i will never get rid of, they are that deeply buried in me and i'm not saying i'm not coping or that i'm really unhappy but life in some areas is just damaged.

everything from me personally to my relationship with my mum.. so...am i being foolish or would i be doing the right thing?

i am not saying i want money, more recognition of what happened you know?.

Junction-Guy

I wish you the best, and just like Jaguar, I hope you can rip them a new one.

However, the political climate right now is not very conducive to a lawsuit of this nature.
