I have just gotten this new book from Amazon.com called The Skin Type Solution by Leslie S. baumann . She is a skin care specialist who has found that there are more like 16 different skin types instead of the old standard of 4 types. This book has a ton of questions for you answer and then narrow down to what your type of skin is. The problem we have when buying skin care products is that we have our skin type wrong and are purchasing the wrong products. This book gives you your proper skin type and then it lists off all different products that she recomends for your skin. She says you don't have to spend alot to get good skin care products you just have to know the right ones to get. I use products like doctor haushka and another good company is Suki.com. They use only natural products for your skin and they have a page on their site that tells you what the different chemicals are on the back of you skin care products and why many of them are not good for your skin. Like did you ever look at all the products that contain propylne gylcol? did you know that that is the main ing in windshield washer fluid also? Thats just an example. I would say save your money until you read this book and find out what your skin really needs first.

Skin care for the maturing lady (fluff)
by Crumpet ini have been using the same facial moisturiser loyally for the last 17 years - but i'm thinking what was great for me at 14 might not be so effective at 31. what most irks me when i look in the mirror (neck up early - we simply don't have long enough for what irks me below the neck) is that my pores seem really big and the overall effect is to make me look tired as the security guard at work pointed out when i left work last night!.
my question is to you ladies (and cosmetically aware gents) is what is your skin care regime and do i have to switch to a really expensive brand sponsored by nazi sympathisers and advertised by supermodels to spruce up my skin?
what do you swear by?.

What are their views on the gospels that the Gnostics use?

shouldn't we wait till we're 30+ to be baptized?
by annalice ini believe we were taught that jesus was around thirty years old when he was baptized.
now i was always told that the bible mentioned specific things like times and dates for a reason .as a guide for us to follow.
so by telling us his age this would seem to be very important for us .

I believe we were taught that Jesus was around thirty years old when he was Baptized. Now I was always told that the bible mentioned specific things like times and dates for a reason .as a guide for us to follow. So by telling us his age this would seem to be very important for us . It should be a guide line for us to follow as to when we should be baptized, should'nt it? Yet I have seen young kids 8 , 9 years old getting baptized. Now if Jesus who we are told was perfect waited till he was in his thirtys shouldn't we wait till then also? It was only when I reached my thirtys did I finally feel a complete sense of maturity. I was baptized when I was 15 . I feel that that baptism should be null and void. All these kids dedicating their lives to something at such a young age is crazy. This is supposed to be the most important dedication in your whole life and they let kids make that choice???? If your 9 year old says "mom I really feel that I want to get married" do you say "Oh ok honey you're old enough to make that decision"HECK NO! Yet we allow them to contract the rest of their life out to an organization that will shun them if they do wrong now that they are baptized. Why so young? Why can't witnesses just wait like Jesus did? What, hasn't the light gotten bright enough yet for the society to come to this understanding? According to them I am now blind ,yet I see it . Whats the youngest baptizm anyone here has ever seen or heard of?

Just responding back. MY sister-in - law is in her early thirties still lives at home ,never dated, been married ,and has no real social group of friends except her parents. The three of them go on trips , go out together, and that is her world. She has never been to happy that her two older brother went off and got married had kids and got lives of their own. She also refused to come to my baby shower and to see us in the hospital. When they all see the baby is when we go down to their house they never come here even though we are only 30 min away and they have an open invitation to visit us whenever they want. My husband and I are not idiots who need her telling us all this crap. Before we left I had been a full time pioneer and he was a M.S. we were on are way to moving up in the Org. and had both been in it since childhood.

MY husband and I have not been to meetings for several years now. We have finally had our first child after 13 years of marriage. He is now 5 months old. My sister in law has started sending us letters about going back to the Org. and saving our babies life. I have photocopied the last letter she sent us from a few weeks ago and posted it with this message. I hope it comes through. When we recieved this letter that told us that we were commiting PRE-ARMAGEDON GHEHENA SUICIDE ! I put in in an envelope and sent it right back to her hoping she would get the point. I guess she did'nt. Yesterday we got another letter from her with photo copies of the book Organized to do Jehovahs Will. Pages 150/151, 155 ,156 & 157 She asked for us to please read these pages and decide if we cosidered ourselves either Marked ,Inactive or Dissassociated.She even took the time to cut out and make two cards for us that say
I,_______________________(print name)
belive that I am:
__Marked
___inactive
___dissassociated
Signatue_____________________________ date:______________
She then asks that we return these cards to her in the pre-addressed and stamped envelopes she provided and that she would then pass them on to the elders.
Now forgive me ,but what the!!!!!!? Isn't that something that if we wanted to do would be between us and the elders of OUR congregation? not hers? and is it any of her business what we consider ourselves? What we consider ourselves as is Good people who have decided not to raise their child in the org. but to raise him to be kind and accepting of all people and not to judge them based on their religous choice. Even if they choose to be a Witness. MY child WILL NOT BE BRAINWASHED. So , what should we do? contact her elders and tell them what she is doing ? Try to talk to her? (not that she would listen). I really don't know. Does anyone have any advice????? Me personally ? I'm thinking restraining order.
