Help!!!

by sandy in

<div>hi all you creative people out there.

i have an assignment due soon and i have no idea what to do.

i have to make a homemade game for preschool age children, ages 3-5. it should challenge a child both cognitively and physically.

Create an obstacle course - that has both cognitive and pysical areas and each child is timed as they go through the course, then they can compare their averages, plan courses and stations, reflect on best/worst, and if the courses are gettting easier. Each station of the room is a distance across the room, or through a few gates, around blankets, furniture, whatever?

Stations can be changed to relevance and each day.

Station # 1 - 20 situps and dial a number on the paper given (cellphone in the room).

Station #2 - 10 pushups, find a word on the paper in the book (named ...) on the table (which, that, who)

Station #3 - Run in place for a minute - solve the riddle hidden under ...

Station #4 - Free throw 5 nerf balls into the waste basket and guess...

Child writes statistics on stats board as recited by another child (in minutes, not nanoseconds). Change Stations each day. Get class feedback as to the course, and the different station requirements.

Exit from the JWs

by KAYTEE in

my exit from the jws, was roughly as follows-

our final letter to the congregation was in the form of a resignation.

we made at least 15 to 20 copies and sent the majority of them to so-called friends, 2 days later we sent the original to the body of elders.

KT-

May your exit be joyous and the rest of your lives be blessed. You are now free to be what you desire. Take time, smell the roses, and enjoy the best of all things.

peace and blessings

WTS Emergency Meeting

by doinmypart in

jw
friends

the disaster relief committee at patterson organized 3 meetings this past memorial day, monday september 5, 2005. the meetings were held in lake charles, louisiana; bossier city, louisiana; and ball, louisiana.

over 1,200 elders were in attendance from louisiana, missouri, arkansas, and texas.

i took horrible notes, but want to share a few things.. the elder opening the meeting emphasized the importance of confidentiality.

Developing software! Yeah, it'll be called - "Fleece V1.0" - This new module will calculate expected yield on each building rebuilt, and based on profit (projected insurance check refunds) the householder will be put in the queue for rebuild (prioritization). More $$$, higher in the queue. After more than 25 years of personal product development I doubt they're developing anything aside from a few access database tables, data entry forms, and a few reports to track:

1) Projected Revenue By Householder

2) Householder's house specifics

3) Past and Current K.H. Associations

4) Who are the bad apples?

5) Crews and their proficiency (Revenue / Time)

6) Who are the bad apples in the crew?

7) Self destruct code - all gone I.R.S., Fed Gov., Wild Beast - we don't keep anything like that!

Edited to add:

doinmypart - Any mention of how to handle WTS donations after rebuilding? Or, who/how to approach "those in the flock" who have had repair work done? BTW - thanks for the post!

ISLAMIC LAW MIGHT BECOME REALITY IN CANADA........

by Mary in

jw
friends

hard as it is to believe, our increasingly brain-dead government is seriously considering allowing sharia law to pass in cana-duh.

for those who aren't familiar with this islamic law, it's an "arbitration" that allows muslims the opportunity to settle disputes concerning family, property and other civil issues in a forum that considers their cases against the backdrop of the qur'an and muslim interpretation.

in other words, muslim women and children here in canada, a supposedly free country, will become shit under their husbands robes if he so chooses.

lawrence

Sharia law is the encapsulation of male as God. Women and children are equals to cattle. Ottawa (the government central) is filthy, as regards greed and bribes, look at Canadian immigation laws, and then look at who is allowed to stay in Canada. Sharia should never be considered by a FREE COUNTRY, but then again, Canada is becoming a fledgling of the perverted Patriot Act, but with twists and turns (Sharia without Al Qaeda - still vicious for women and children).

A JW PEODOPHILE RAPIST WAS BLINDSIDED TONIGHT !!!!

by Apostanator in

to give you some quick details, my ex-wife and her two sisters were repeatedly raped and molested for years by their jw father.

we went to the elders, and as you probably know, nothing ever really happened to him, all he got was privately reproved.

well,...fast forward,, i remarried and have a wonderfull wife who is also an ex-jw.

lawrence

Guess you won't be "promoted" to elder this go around - "must have a wife in subjection." I had a Sicilian wife - she tried to stab me one night. Just remember the anger displayed against Elder Pedophile, may one day be looking down your throat. Hope you get off those crutches. BTW - yes, pedophiles MUST be revealed and confronted.

A Link for the Liberal Loudmouths

by Shining One in

http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20050902/cm_csm/ekatrina .

read it and see that the pres actually was on the ball and had the machinery turned on and ready to operate.

if a dummy like clinton (gore or kerry as well) had been in charge, who knows what would have happened!

lawrence

Shining One-

You're more like a dead bulb, or a photon projector gone on the blink. Who the hell was saved and who was killed? You are in need of some serious medicine, and I'll bet, you sleep with a copy of Charles Colson's collected works. Why not join a Soldier Of Fortune platoon and stroke "manliness" amidst napalm and germ warfare?

What are JW's going to do with their "outdated" Rev book and Dan proph book

by booker-t in

i was just wondering what is going to happen when the leaders at wt headquaters see that the revelation grand climax book and the pay attention to daniel's prophecies book all prove false.

are they going to rewrite both books and call it "new light" and somehow say that they were wrong about the beast of revelation being the un and now the un will be considered holy?

are jw's going to have to praise the un as from jehovah and jesus?

lawrence

Leolaia-

That is a great poster and tale of the Beast. I forgot about The Children of God.
