A dumb fluff question

i don't usually do these threads.....but i'm gonna do it anyway dammit!.

me thinks me needs some vitamins/ minerals as i feel worn out way too much these days.

im 50. what can i get over the counter and without driving to mexico or china to get it that has worked for you?
Steve Egner

Hey gumb,
Jeeeeeeez.....50? Try takin' the walker out for a spin...
Nah. I'm with Rachel on this one. Look for low-impact, potentially aerobic activities that you might enjoy. I like cycling and swimming, and I hit the gym when I can't do those.
I find that these activities minimize my joint pains (unfortunate by-product of work) and energize me for the day. If I drop the regimen, I see a corresponding drop in my energy.
Try that, with lots of coffee.

Steve and Joy,
I assume you've taken appropriate emergency measures, and laid in an ample store of Pabst and Cookies?

I think for me the biggest question is, can we leave the premises for lunch?

That made me smile out loud!
No Hoagies, please.
Interesting program, interesting people. I'd like to go, at least one day. Carpool, anyone?

I came in just in time for Dallas' flubbed field goal attempt.
The rest of the half was all Vikings.
Is it a good thing that these guys can still affect my mood today? I'm an otherwise mature 44 year old...
All my fingers and toes are crossed, and the appropriate sacrifices have been made to the NFL gods, in preparation for the second half.

5 Jehovah's Witnesses Die in Plane Crash
by Kenneson in

a report from zambia, africa relates that 6 persons died, including 5 believed to be jehovah's witnesses in a chartered plane crash near livingstone.

they had just toured victoria falls and were returning to lusaka, when the plane developed problems and crashed.

a zambian newspaper says it was an oil leak.

This forum has proven it's worth, many times now, in drawing interested ones away from a destructive cult.
The hateful, thoughtless comments of a few now place that function at risk.
How long do you think it will take true-believing JW lurkers to quote, copy, and spread the ignorant remarks made by imbeciles?
I suggest that this thread be removed.

Joining a new religion!!!!ARGGGGG

Lilac5,

I haven't had "nightmares", but I believe that it is in your best interest to concerned, if not wary, of quickly joining another group.
Have you read Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer..." ? One of his assertions was that (paraphrasing from memory here...) one mass movement's loss was another's gain. In other words, former members of a mass movement (like ourselves) are susceptible to the appeals of different groups. Without proper self examination, considering the reasons why we were drawn to religion in the first place, we could easily be duped again.
I've seen people leave the J-Ho's, only to become true believers in other religions or even political groups. My observations are limited and anecdotal, but they seem to confirm Hoffer's claim.
Hoffer's book is a great read, of practical value to anyone exiting a high-control group.
