so if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?
pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.
then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.
Last year here in Wisconsin March was unseasonably warm and I started riding my bike in the first week of the month. This is what I saw out my front and back doors this past Thursday, May 2:
By the time it stopped snowing 14" had fallen, and even more fell a few miles north of me.
i stop taking my blood pressure meds.
the other day.
while at the dentist they took my blood pressure, 177 over 101.. i,am taking my pressure pills again.
Another thing to try is meditation. There are all kinds of meditations out there on the internet, free for the asking, but a very simple and effective one is watching the breath. Or try Dr. Herbert Benson's "relaxation response", which includes breath awareness:
after the nba's jason collins announced yesterday that he is gay, notice broussard's comments:.
im a christian.
i dont agree with homosexuality.
Yup, that's fundamentalism's standard position.
" stay close to your friends.. stay closer to your enemy"
was that Mike Corleone or Hyman Roth
Michael Corleone, in The Godfather Part 2.
this film was written by julius epstein who also wrote the script for casablanca.. if this scene doesn't grab you---you can't be grabbed!.

you will need to magnify it to full size or you will miss the "payoff".. .
Thanks Terry. Just watched the entire movie on youtube - very good.
what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?
we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.
for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.
My mom told me that I have to be careful when reading the bible, because Satan might try to use it to trick me.
Wow.
i'm new here but have been lurking here for a couple of months.
i am 3rd gen born in but have been inactive for a few years but always had the intention to make another go of the truth, but not now that i know ttatt.
i became inactive due to the inhumane treatment from family members who are elders.
Welcome to the board.
i'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.
bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.
he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.
You see him standing at the back of the hall before he goes up, puffing like a bellows and psyching himself up. Constantly exposing yourself to a stressor in that manner can't be good for you.
You'd think someone in his position would relish being on the platform by now, or at least be so used to it that he wouldn't be so anxious about it. Maybe this is how cognitive dissonance is manifesting in him.
i am going to gripe about something that is so annoying and i know people here see it, as we all do.
every single time a terrorist attack or a shooting takes place today.
there is an endless amount of bull crap false stories, pictures, video clips, etc.
I hear you, free. I try to stay away from the social media circus, Facebook, and the 24 hour TV news feeds as much as possible.
been lurking here for years but finally decided to come out, at least partially.
of all things, the post of 'bats in the belfry' re: the supposed break up of gb member geoffrey jackson and his cute (ex-?
) fiancee a few days ago spurred me to do so.
L3G, I didn't see anything in that thread about a breakup, or did I just miss it? Bats in the belfry is just speculating why they aren't married yet; nothing definite about a breakup.
