  i looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.

  they were in a glazed-over stupor.

  they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

  fulano, En un momento dado, is an expression I use in my everyday conversations! and i didn't know it came straight from dutch! its amazon how he integrated in barcelona and perfused his ideas and game philosophy into the culture... modern la liga and guardiola style is a legacy from him..!

  Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program

  by thedepressedsoul in

  2. beliefs

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  In spanish they are translating "Shun Unrepentant Wrongdoers" as "-get away- from unrepentant wrongdoers"...

  Evolution is a Fact #30 - Your Third Eyelid

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  fish, reptiles, birds and some mammals have an additional eyelid that is called a nictitating membrane.

  it is more or less transparent and unlike our eyelids it moves sideways across the eye.

  as well as protecting the eye it also helps with cleaning and lubrication.. a falcon diving at 200mph has good reason to want to want a pair of goggles to protect its eyes from insects and debris.

  Never Allowed to be Myself

  by NeverAllowestobeMyself in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so my handle has a typo, it is supposed to be never allowed to be myself but i'm okay with that because it is kind of symbolic of my situation.

  as a born-in i have always had expectations forced on me, this is what you are to think, feel and do as a jehovah's witness.

  my earliest memories involve being upset that i would die at armageddon because i was bad.

  it's never late to be yourself... time ago, a professor told me; you need to be like the elephant, it has thick skin to resist, superb memory to not forget who hurt, and big tusks to fight back.. you have proven yourself resilient :)
