Here is where mine began.
I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. My father was the presiding overseer. My older brother was an elder, my sister a volunteer. My mother provided the perfect christian home.
Problem. My father and mother were both alcoholics. They beat their children like in the "movie of the week". My mother never got out of her mumu for ten years after she killed my little brother in an alcoholic rage. My father liked to travel, and he had a penchant for young ,black women. My brother married his therapist, and my sister, well, bless her, even though she was raped by my father, has fallen off the face of the earth.
Yet, they like to talk about the "truth". I talked to my sister about five years ago, and she tried to get me come back to JWs. Now, not all JWs are horrible. Some are people trying to find meaning in the midst of madness.
God, in His Kindness excused me from this life of insanity. I look back, sometimes with sorrow, but mostly with glee.
Now, report this

Over the past week I have read questions from people who are hurting, troubled, confused and seen some pretty heartless responses... what is it in us as humans that shuts off our empathy and understanding for another person?

Assuming you are voting for donkey, do you think that Dennis Kucinich would have more chances if he had charisma like JFK, Ronald Reagan or Mitt Romney?

I just started the season, and people are saying it makes you faster, but personally I think that's a load of crap. What do you think?

I have a 14 ft aluminum with a 9.9 motor. The front end sits sooooo far outta the water making sterring a little tricky. I already have my anchor in the bow, can I put some additional weights, or would I be risking quick sink and steering ability?

I myself am an atheist. But my friends aren't. They keep feeding me this crap about God. So can you guys give me some reasons why God (or any religious figure) is not real? I've got an example

Do you believe in the three little pigs? No. Then why should you believe in another book, the Bible?

It keeps fouling out the ignition coil. In the past 4 months, I have replaced the ignition coil 4-5 times (both at shops and myself).
Detail: I'll be driving along just fine, and suddenly all power just dies (accelerator, brakes, steering, engine. The radio, A/C, etc...still work.) This has happened 4 times since I've owned the Jeep. It won't start again until I get a new coil (obviously.) Then it will foul that one out. The last coil only lasted about 10 miles, and I noticed it got really hot very fast.
So...does anyone know of anything farthur up the chain or whatever that could be fouling out the ignition coil? Keep in mind...it's been to a regular car shop, a specialty Jeep shop, and two actual Jeep dealers' shops. They can never figure it out beyond the coil - I'll take any answers, but it can't be a very easy fix if they all can't fix it.
Can anyone help?
I will award a Best Answer and stars...even if it doesn't actually cure my car.
Thanks for any help!

Me and a friend are worried about someone we've known well for a good few years. She is 18 and in the past year has left her full time job, got into some heavy drugs and moved in with her 37 year old "boyfriend" aka f*ck buddy/dealer. She's been smoking weed for a few years but is very innocent, used to be a tomboy - skating, playing guitar and generally being normal. She never had a boyfriend but got into sleeping around with guys who used her for sex before her "boyfriend" discovering her and luring her into his messy world of dealing, drugs, sex and who knows what else. She's moved to a town over half an hour away and it's difficult for her real friends to contact her. She doesn't realise the seriousness of what shes doing and replies with things like "It's only a bit of ..... blah blah blah" (drugs). Her family and little of her friends are aware of the relationship with her and this man, or the drugs. Any advice on what we can do to help. Talking just doesn't work.... Thanx
