i thought this might be a good idea this year.
many of us work for certain companies and can get great discounts on certain items.
others (like me) have good connections to get certain items that others might not have access to.. please post what your special connections are!
Nos, this is a good idea.
I sell home made soap, bath salts, bath bombs-fizzies, lipbalm, body and foot balm, salt scrubs, coffee scrubs, sugar scrubs, massage oils, aromatherapy and essential oils.
(If this violates rules, I have no problem with taking it down)
this is probably a bit of history some of you know, maybe some of you don't.
in the early 1800's there was a shawnee native american chief named tecumseh who was trying to make an effort to unify all the other native american tribes together against the invasion of the newly formed american government.
tecumseh was known as a brave, highly skilled communicator, and a good man wanting to share the land in peace with the new american government, but finding he wasn't getting much cooperation from them .
Way to go, now you're just getting our hopes up.
if the wts is based on the bible (as they claim), then why can't a person come into "the truth" just by reading the bible?
also, if the wts really does have "the truth", then why does it keep changing it?
i didn't think truth could change!
For that line of argument, I thought you said it nice and simple: to the point. But he's right that most JWs would not heed it much. I dissagree however, that "its not worth it", I think every valid reasoning in tandem with other ideas leads to a sum that is worth it. Jws are like onions and ogres-they all have layers, and when up against those odds, any tool is useful.
this is so bad people, why are we sitting on our arses and doing nothing about things like this.
this young man gave his life, he will probably never have a wife and family for the rest of his life and this is how they are treated ?
this administration should be ashamed of themselves and i mean down right on their knees ashamed.
The way beurocracy treats humans makes me .
has anyone ever used one before?
?i just got one because i've been having alot of trouble with my nose being very dry and the back of my throat felt sore from it.i heard about them from tv.the oprah show i think.i also was had a sinus headache today.. i'll tell ya it was a strange feeling when i was doing it.i felt kinda like i was almost drowning but i could still breath through my mouth.my nose feels better it's not dry any more and my sore throat is gone and my head still hurts a little but not as bad.i think i'll try using it again later today after i wake up to go to work tonight..
I've been wanting to get one for my allergies and sinus issues, I keep putting it off though.
it's your decision to make.
it would be as wrong of this community to insist everyone donate blood as it is of the cult to insist otherwise.
.
I'd give blood to a family member, and accept from a family member, but not from a stranger.Not sure about the USA but that attitude would not be tolerated in the UK. If you need a blood transfusion be grateful that some charitable stranger has gone through the trouble of donating for you.
Nic'
Sorry if it hurts, but MY interest is in protecting MY body or the body of family, the emotions of strangers comes third or fourth down that list. MY blood "is not good enough" for the blood network, so what? Does that hurt my feelings? No, becauseI don't care what they think. I don't want or need 'kudos' for doing a good thing. Personally, I've though about being a blood marrow donor, but wonder if I'd face the same issues with being gay and all that crap. I don't use drugs or Rx, so for the most part I KNOW my blood is clean.
As for my "attitude" and not being "tolerated", WTF? Its MY body , I can put in it --or NOT--whatsoever I choose, and if someone else gets huffy over that, then they have emotional immaturity issues and need to realise that what I do to me is not about them.

this is getting out of control.
I should have read the link, I thought it happened here in the states.
Wouldn't it be cool to have tazer-proof clothing, armor if you will? You'd have to weave cloth with wire sort of like a faraday cage, and then have a good way of grounding it...you think?
having believed the whole bible, hook, line and sinker all these years i get the impression many of you have come to the conclusion that we should take it with a pinch of salt and not hold to it so dogmatically.
and some possibly believe in it just as much as you did when you were a witness.
to save me some time please, lovely people, as i am very lazy - could you share with me why you do or don't believe in it - what evidence there is either way and if there are any particular books that you found helpful in coming to your conclusions?
I'll take it with a 50 LB bag of salt, thank you. For me, what proves it is from man? The bible itself.
An interesting read, The Age of Reason by Thomas Payne one of the founding fathers of the U.S., picks things apart pretty well.

So at what point can we honestly admit to ourselves that we live in a fascist state?
as witnesses who were deeply indoctrinated.
we accepted all of jehovah's witness teachings as a total package, it was "the truth".
there were no cracks in our armor that would allow other ideas, doctrines or thoughts to seep in.
For me, when i had my faith destroyed by a friend, it was like burning down the forest. But he also set me on a path to deliberatly explore and investigate other faiths, like planting wild flowers after the forest fire. I've landed on Taoism, not as a "thing" to believe in, but more as an overlay to see everything else through. I also like Zen thought as well.
My partner is Pagan, but not part of a Coven as group activites to him seem too church like or too "Hollywood", so he's a Solitary practitioner, and on that level so am I.
