Thanks, Lady Lee. However, that aside, I stand corrected by OM:
"Most elders have read the Awake! for at least 4 years and that's worth more than any secular degree." om

i was many times, the final bout was what drove me out of the borg altogether..... .
i was once threatened with a rifle.
that was scary...but hey...what didn't we suffer for the good news.
.
i knew of a handful (which is too many) that were molested by a jehovah's witness.
it was not typical in my experience.
what about you???.
i need advice...one of my best friends is having a big ol' problem & i don't know what to say (well, i know what i'd like to say...but i need to be careful).
her husband has cut off all emotions towards her (but not with people he's not close to).
he's bored with his life, including her.
Is this person open to seeking therapy?
Issues may be more complicated than even a close friend is aware of. And this one sounds like it could be life-altering.
In the meantime, being a supportive listener would help the person to know they are supported and cared about. Everyone needs to know that they have a friend who cares.

us schoolboy anointed as reincarnation of buddhist high priest .
friday, 30 october 2009. adsurroundstart a us schoolboy has been anointed in india as the reincarnation of a buddhist high priest who died over 750 years ago.
jigme wangchuk, from boston, is now revered by hundreds of thousands of followers in nepal, bhutan and india after taking up residence as the rinpoche, or high priest, of the drukpa sangag choeling monastery in darjeeling, west bengal.. the 11 year old from st peter's school in boston has been given the title of his holiness the second galwa lorepa, head of the drukpa sect.
there is this girl at work who has been making it painfully obvious that she's interested, however i'm not interested in her.
so far i'm just acting as though i'm not seeing any of the "making of eyes", "any excuse to talk" or other general flirting.
ladies, how do i make her stop without being mean?
I like the link that mrsjones5 added. Of course, the example is about a boy hitting on a girl. But I think a lot of the same suggestions could still apply. Thing is, the girl needs to get the message that you just aren't into her.
Other suggestion...you could simply be ... elsewhere... errr, sorry, couldn't help myself.
***thinking he must get tired of that one.
Good luck, else.

pardon my asking.
i have a dance friend that invited me to their event at their church.
it is a half hour dance show, then a half hour dance lesson, then general dancing till midnight.. this sounded okay.
the first thing i showed them was a wt picture of what is going to happen to us poor worldly people at the big "a".
i realy ratteled his cage when i asked him if i could borrow his copy of pay attation to your self and your flock.
he then asked where i heard about this book.
