  I agree with fader. If you e-mail them back, you'll just get more and more stuff. I work in the H.R. department of my company and I have dealt with people in the office getting porn spam. Usually at the bottom of the e-mail, it will say something like "If you don't wish to receive this e-mail, please click here". Under no circumstances should you do that. As fader said, it just tells them you have a valid e-mail address. The best solution is to just ignore it and delete it.

  Unfortunately, e-mail scams and unwanted spam are just a by-product of computer usage. Even companies (like ours) with sophisticated spam filters are still dealing with it. The hackers and con-artists always seem to find a way to get around it.

  Crossing-over with John Edwards

  i`m not sure if any on this board has seen the show " crossing-over with john edwards" but for some strange reason the show fascinates me.

  if you have not seen the show its basically a guy who does readings for people in a studio audience who have had loved ones die, 'crossing-over' to the next realm.

  he then connects with these dead people offering up clues to their passing and only personal things that close family would know about .

  I believe in psychics. However, I have a problem with psychics that perform "on demand" like John Edwards. I have a personal friend who is a psychic/clairvoyent and I believe she is the "real deal". Coincidentally, she is also an ex-JW and we met quite by accident. She gets "impressions" from people and places that we visit. Her impressions are almost always dead on. I have witnessed her leaving places or rooms where the negative energy is too much for her. She is not a "professional" psychic and she's never been paid for her "services". That is another reason I believe she is real.

  My $.02.

  After reading this thread yesterday, I was telling my boss about the Smurf urban legend. She was raised in the "Assemblies of God" church, which, as much as I know about them, is a "watered down" version of the Pentecostal church. "Charismatic" I think is the term. Anyway, my boss said she wasn't allowed to watch The Smurfs either as a child because they cast "spells". Any kind of magic is a "no no" with that religion, too, which surprised me. Also, they frown on Halloween activities and the children cannot go trick-or-treating.

  She also told me that her church strongly believes in demon possession and said that she saw someone possessed by a demon first hand. She said it wasn't like The Exorcist, but scary anyway.

  My point to all this is that there ARE other religions that have fanatical tendencies. What I find extremely amusing is that my boss is quick to call the JW's a cult, but can't see the similarities with her church.

  I work for a toothbrush and dental floss factory, in the Human Resources department. I can either be a good guy or a bad guy depending on your situation. People generally don't like being called to my office, though. I wonder why?

  i was once told that john denver (folk singer of songs like rocky mountain high and such) was on the tonight show one night.

  he was a huge patriot and apparently had no love whatsoever for jw's.

  apparently as the story goes, john gets up to sing a patriotic song and before he begins tells the audience "if there are any jehovah witnesses in the audience, you may want to leave right now.

  Back in the 70's, my mother heard a rumor that Glen Campbell had been baptized into the JW's. Her and a couple of her friends eagerly bought tickets to his concert the next time he rolled into town. I must have been only 10 or 11 years old, but I remember mom coming home from the concert VERY traumatized and upset. She said to me, "WELL, I can tell you that Glen Campbell is NOT a Jehovah's Witness." Apparently, he had sung some "suggestive" songs and he did something on stage that shocked her.

  Thinking back on it, how HYSTERICAL to think that Glen Campbell was a JW!

  I'm glad I never told her what went on at rock concerts that I attended just a few years later.....

  has anyone seen the previews for this new stephen king series yet?

  it starts on march 3 and looks awesome!

  after the miniseries "it", back in the early nineties, stephen king finally realized that his writing is better suited to a television series than confined to a two-hour movie.

  Country Girl - Don't feel bad, "It" scared the crap out of me too! Can't stand to even LOOK at a clown now! Rose Red scared me, too. I ought to pick that up on DVD. Liked the original "The Shining" (nothing like Jack Nicholson), but the TV version was way closer to the book. I remember when I saw The Shining in the theater the first time, I was disappointed that they turned the hedge animals into the hedge maze. I also liked Rebecca DeMornay a LOT better than Shelley Duvall.
