  Thank you Daniel-p. I was going to reply something similar. yadda, it really is unfair to blame the mother. Autism can be a very unpredictable condition. Some episodes can be "set off" by something as simple as a momentary change in routine. There's no way to know if he was being badgered, or if he just got wound up on his own.

  when you will have been an exjw for as long as you were a jw?.

  i was raised in the jws from before the age of 10, and stopped going to the kh at the age of 31. i was involved with the jws for a total of 23 years.

  i will be 54 years old by the time i have spent more of my life as an exjw than i did as a jw..

  our friend hambeak just got the most dreaded phone call from his jw child.

  the news was passed on as he was asked for by name and not as"dad" and let known that "they" just called to let him know that his other son, brian, age 26, is dead.

  he was in a car accident.

  Nice plug for not questioning the elders in the last paragraph. I wonder if too many parents were getting upset at the JC demanding to hear every last detail of their minor daughter's "porneia" before throwing her out? *gag*

  i got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.

  and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.

  i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.

  Can you imagine if someone from the forum called up a "straight" person and berated them for having sex with their opposite sex partner? "Ahem! YOU need to LEAVE the forum because we don't tolerate people who have straight sex around here..." (I'm using firefox, so please imagine a bunch of little smileys all rolling their eyes in unison.)

  Wow, two pages about Spam, and not a single Monty Python reference. *blink*

  Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
  Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
  Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
  Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
  Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
  Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
  Vikings: Spam spam spam spam
  Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
  Waitress: Eewwww!
  Wife: What do you mean 'Eewwww'? I don't like spam!

  Ooh, ooh, ooh... another site funding idea!!!

  simon et al: .

  amazon has a deal whereby if a sale is made on their site that originated from a link on another site, the originating site gets a percentage!

  i believe that includes the entire sale, i.e.

  I think that's correct, I just looked at my Amazon account, and in the fine print, you take quite a hit to convert to actual revenues, slightly over 2%. I'm sure they have different programs for different applications, but that's worse than Lottery conversion. LOL!

  LOL! They are also paying 6% for all holiday Gift Certificates originating from a user link. I wonder if the offer extends to forums though? or just blogs?

  Dog. I think he is going to kill me. He has single-handedly destroyed an entire rainforest by means of all the paper towels I've used to clean up his pee. And he only weighs 5 pounds yet, but he has the loudest bark I've ever heard... which he uses to practice Arias at 3:00am. Shoot me now.
