"and these are unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, ...........
so then, what behaviours has the weasel, and, has the wtbts been eating them ?
weasel snacks aren't all rare -
I believe the WTBTS currently has at least 12 weasels, all who sit on the GB. However, due to the fact that they denouce cannibalism, I do not think they are to be eaten. On the other hand, they are good at eating at the apostates, so this could be a fine line and definitely would require some new light* for specific interpretation.

Here is a letter that debunks the formulism press release:

P.S. No, the formulism website was pulled a couple of days after the press release. To the best of my knowledge, it has not resurfaced.
well, tonite, i finally said what i had to say to my live-in.
i've shared just a tiny bit of the insanity i've been thru and put up with with this man...............for three years.. there is a saying when you've had enough, you'll stop.
today, after pacing like a restless tiger in the house and not wanting to do any of the things i suggested, he called a cab and is on his way to buy crack and hang out with an old friend from his past.
OMG! I promised myself to check on you over the weekend, (as you said you would be on the board a lot), but my goodness, girl! I honestly don't know if I could handle all this much stress at one time! I have no doubt that if this were all happening me at the same time, I would require an IV of valium hanging from a stand with wheels! Jeez! When it rains, it pours!
I will say that I think you are verrrrrrrry smart to draw the line in the sand with this guy. Crack, no matter how addictive and no matter how much someone may want to quit (it sounds like this guy doesn't) is UNACCEPTABLE. The fact that he decided to have a meltdown while you are so stressed is a bit selfish, too, if you ask me (which you aren't, but that's okay! Advice is free today! )
The most encouraging thing I can think to say is that I'm glad you know you have friends here who support you. Just know that you are doing the right thing and there is a better plan for you out there. I'm a firm believer in that God never has a "Plan B" for us - he just has another "Plan A". I sincerely hope that your next "Plan A" beats the socks off this one! (Wouldn't it be cool if it were a "AA" or even a "AAAA"?! )
I know you have a lot going on, but if you want or need to, you know you can call me anytime, and I am happy to listen. (I'll pm you my cell number - I'll be out in the yard all day today).
Hugs to you,
growedup
well, the worst has happened..........the superintendent has recommended termination to the boe.
apparently she is concentrating on the statement i made about not having respect for her.
i'm numb.................the meeting will take place monday night..........that's where i guess i can go to plead my case.......?

I think it is great that you are exploring so many avenues here. Although I understand about just wanting out right now, I also agree with other posters who have expressed how important it is to fight in order to keep your job history clean. You don't want this political situation to affect you possibly for the rest of your life! I still believe that one of the very best things you can do is to invite the press. Why have someone drop a hint to them? Pick up the phone and call them yourself! Trust me, if they have done pieces on this person in the past, they are going to want something else to expose as well. As I've never been a part of a union and don't exactly understand the ins and outs, I don't know if the press can ask questions at your hearing or not -- but if they can -- go so far as to prepare a list of suggested questions for them. They would appreciate it since it could help to ask the right questions to help you, while at the same time, getting them a juicy story.
I want to see you win this, even if you only end up staying long enough to find something else. This is easy for me to say because I am not you -- but don't let them take you down without a fight!!!
BTW -- I am up now, so if you want to call... I'm around....

..... with my 7-year-old son!
last night, while i was still brushing my teeth, he crawled into my bed and laid his head on my pillow.
i jokingly told him that he wasn't supposed to be on my side of the bed and that he had to move.

It seems to me they could retain that beautiful spirit if there wasn't so much crap to deal with from school, TV, their parents bagagge, etc.
Yes! If they could keep their innocence for life, that would be so nice! But you are right -
I guess, really I'm here to make sure she doesn't get hurt in her learning process instead of being a tyrant/dictator/authouritarian...
Very true! Children do respond to kindness - I believe that if we go overboard with them, that eventually they shy away - they need us to love them unconditionally and keep them from harm's way!

Sorry to get your hopes up there, Min! I do look like her, but as I qualified when I posted her picture, she is definitely prettier than I.
Cheer up! It could be worse! I could look like dusty's avatar!

Sally,
Growed up: is that you or Trish?
See above. ^
I suppose if I had her plastic surgeon and her make-up artist, it might be a closer rendition, but alas! It is not! *heavy sigh*
