I have heard that an online PhD is generally not a good thing. I have also heard that Indiana State University is a good (reputable) school and the price is pretty good. Just looking for opinions and feedback.

Do you post just to harass and annoy JWs who read these boards, or to bring sincere enlightenment on an issue about which you're passionate to anyone who cares to read your story?

I, for one, post here because this is a place for people to discuss religious issues that matter to them, this topic being important to me. Issues of Ex-JWs -are- religious issues, despite what anyone believes. Also, I believe it's important as a Christian to expose the underbelly of a religion of which I have first hand knowledge. This is a forum in which to do so.

I truly don't see the issue, as annoyed as anyone may get reading something that doesn't sit well with them. As annoyed as I get reading some of the other topics in here, I defend their right to post whatever's important to them.

Your thoughts, dear readers?

Yesterday, (on October 18, 2007,) i had entered this chat room that I had not been on to in a while. I had entered a screen name by random and I had talked to this kid whom was under the a different name at that time as because from what I understand, he was apparently trying to disguise himself to find out who I was. I then proceeded to exit and re-entered with my old screen name that I had used. I then went on to talk to him again to greet him. He had then proceeded to tell me that he had remembered whom I was and had reminded me that I've had unpleasant encounters with him. I do admit that I was sort of inappropriate and I do deeply regret it as I know much better of myself and have been taught otherwise. I did proceeded to apologize to him for any trouble that I may have caused him.

He then had stated that I had apparently introduced him to a certain website. He had denied my statement when I had claimed that he introduced me to the particular website first and that I had only asked him about it at a later time. He stated to me rather quickly as possible as if to scare me that his mother works for the FBI and that this kid also does FBI work as well as he works with his mom. He said that he would inform his mother of me and that they can both track down my IP address and find me and said that I would be going to jail. He claimed that he was so serious, that he would have the SWAT team down to my location in about 45 minutes and breaking our houses door down. Without the giving of my personal information or evidence of any kind, I don't see how I could be tracked. Unless, my IP address would be given to my ISP, but I am curtain that that only happens if something illegal is done, then only the police and NOT the FBI would then be involved. With that time frame in mind, numerous hours have passed since then.

He has claimed to have busted many people in chat rooms, but he said that a good percentage of people from MySpace have been busted. He did not specify any reasoning as to why they were busted, so than seemed strange to me. I had proceeded to apologize and ask for forgiveness once again. He claimed that it was OK and that he promised that I could have another chance and that I would not be tracked down. I proceeded to leave, shocked, and terrified with my heart beating so fast that I was almost confided that it would be popping out of my chest. Some time had passed, and I don't have the slightest idea why, but I began to do a little bit of my own research. I had proceeded to look up his MySpace page that he previously had gave me a while back. I began to look for curtain things, and the first thing that I noticed was that his name had been changed from Ricky to Jake.

The next thing that I had noticed was that his age had been changed from sixteen to eighteen. The last two things that I had also noticed were that the state he was living in was changed from California to Arkansas and that his state of education had been unchanged as it still states that he still remains in High School. I strongly believe that I was not very sensitively inappropriate. I certainly did not do anything against the law or that would put me in the situation of being tracked down. Since the happening of this, I have been trying to spend as much time with my family as possible giving them all the hugs, kisses, and I Love You's in the universe. I am terrified whenever I hear the phone ringing or a knock on the door or the ringing of the doorbell in thinking that it is the FBI and that I am going to jail.

I was told by someone else I talked to that the FBI is a backup force and they would do nothing to hurt me and I would not be going to jail, that I was just lied to for a good scare. This is the start of many unpleasant and uncomfortable days and nights to come, I was indeed shocked about this whole ordeal and am very concerned. I am wondering if this whole thing is to scare me or what is going on. Is this just a good scare because their mad at me? It seems strange.

My husband and i have both been in poor health last year and this year. Hospitals want money now.?
If we paid all our medical bills per month at $100, which is what they want us to do because we can't pay all in full it would add up to over $900 per month. That doesn't include our living expenses and other regular bills. We want to send them what we can which is $10 a month on each one until some of them are paid and then we can slowly increase what we are paying. We live in the state of georgia. The main hospital won't work with us and said they will only accept $100 per month. The magistrate said the hospitals didn't have to accept what we paid unless it was what they wanted and even if we were paying 10-$20. per month they could still turn it over for collection or garnish my husbands wages. we want to pay, but my husband hours at work have been cut to 32 and they've already laid some of them off. I am on total disability and only get one check per month for $563. Can anyone help?

I love yoga and belly dancing and recently I took part in a belly dance production based around the the 'Decent of Inanna to the Underworld.' The production involed dance and poetry. I danced Ereshkigal the Queen of death and the Underworld. (Type cast again!)
A feminist friend castigated me for appearing. She saw the show and said I was letting the side down...quote 'you were literally bending over backwards to please men.' I pointed out that the audience was mainly female and I was hardly a sex object. The makeup even scared me me when I saw myself in the mirror. I looked like a dancing corpse with a sai in each hand. I'm still a Feminist and a belly dancer and will continue to be so but I was interested in other peoples take on it.
I wonder if the anti-feminist will rise to my defence...I doubt it but I'll be watching.

I am in love with a Muslim man, and I am Jewish. I have an Israeli father. I wish the whole problem could be told in detail, but I am sure you guys see the main point. He went to speak to my father, my father said "I will die before this happens", I quit my job (b/c he was my boss), and went to Israel for the summer hoping to get over him which didn't work. My relationship with my mother has suffered dramatically. He is the most amazing person I have ever met, and I think stopping 2 people who love each other from being together bc of religion is contributing to the racism and hate going on in the world. I always felt in my heart that I wanted to make a difference, and I know I won't change the world, but it is a step.

I have amazing parents who do everything for me. This is the first time they have said no to anything. I am 21 yrs old. I don't know what to do, I am in so much pain and I am completely confused. Have you ever defied your parents in a huge way? Any advice?

The other week, I had an appointment with my doctor, and she told me that I might be bipolar. I hadn't told her a lot of the facts though.
But for the past few months, Ive felt miserable. Crying over nothing every night, and just laying in bed all day and not having any motivation. But then recently, about two days ago, everything changed. I wake up early, exercise, shower, try to eat healthier, and I have a smile on my face over nothing half the time. Its pretty weird because its a drastic change.
