The Coca Cola Corporation

by invisible in

jw
friends

sitting this evening with friends chilling out as you do, most of them anti-global capitalists and coca cola came up into the conversation.. you know, we couldn't come up with anything that essentially this giant corporation was doing or has done that might affect adversely other people elsewhere.

all they produce is one bloody great drink that everyone loves.. anyone else heard of or have something on this corporation?.

here's cheers to coke!!.

Hi, My name is Andee and I am a Coca Cola addict.........................

*Other Posters Respond* "Hi! Andee!

One of the hardest things I had to do was break my *regular" coke habit and make the switch to diet coke. I don't care if they switched to Equal from Sweet N Low, the taste is NOT the same. And those ugly grey cans! However, after going through head exploding, withdrawls, I managed to make the switch.

Oh, I still have the cravings. And sometimes my "stinkin thinkin" will start to tell me that I can handle "it". The pretty red cans just call to me. So, I will sneak a sip of "the real stuff". Next thing I know, I am in a sugar induced stupor surrounded by empty cans.

I guess I have to remind myself that I am still an addict.

Thanks for letting me share

*clap clap clap*

Son's Birthday ... Video Game System?

by lastcall in

this weekend will be my son's first birthday party ever.

we are really over doing it, but we are so excited for him.

he has had a n64 for about 3 years.

Hey LastCall,

I had the same question a few months ago.

Here's the link:

It gets a bit technical, but it did help.

BTW, we decided to go with N Gamecube. It doesn't play DVDs like PS2, but we already have two DVD players in the house. We even rented a PS2 for 5 days to be sure. My kids, 10 and 6, love it.

Edited because I misread part of lastcalls post. DOH!

my wifes cooking

by musky in

my family went to a picnic at her place of work.

everyone was supposed to bring a dish to pass.

after we were going home i said that i didn't care for the baked beans much.

BeautifulGarbage

Musky,

LOL!!! When I asked about if you could walk, I meant the MAJOR faux pas you made with the Baked Beans and the "your in big trouble" comment made by your wife. To me, considering the offense, breaking kneecaps came to mind. Dontcha just ENVY my spouse!?

I have never heard of the term "dish to pass" until I came to this board. So, yes, I thought because of the JW aversion to the word "luck" perhaps they coined a new term for Potluck (which when one is invited, the assumption is made that bringing a dish is required). Anyway, I have learned something new

My wonderful mother/2

i am completely overwhelmed by the caring that has gone on here in my situation.

both were babtized jws.

for over 30 years.

Movello,

I have only lost ONE person to death that I was close to. He was my paternal Grandfather. I was 13 and to this day, even though I have a great memories of him, there is a place in my heart that aches for him. That ache will probably always be there.

Please, see a counselor before the depression gets too serious.

I'm with Dakota on this one. There are therapists that specialize in helping people work through their grief so that they can start to put their lives back together again. Take all that strength and courage, and now use it to help yourself.

We care!

Musky,

Humor me here. I haven't been around JWs socially, due to shunning, since I was a kid. This just struck me. Is the phrase "dish to pass" used instead of that pagan term Pot"LUCK"??

Andee

Oh, by the way, can you walk yet??

I Gave Away My Hair

by Dutchie in

jw
friends

i am 38 years old and have never had a haircut in my life.

my hair is extremely long; it reaches past my derriere.

i can say, without conceit, that it truly is my crowning gory.

BeautifulGarbage

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Dutchie)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

What a tremendously generous thing for you to do! I know how I am about my hair, and it's only a bit below my shoulders. I always DREAMED of having long hair like you.

Spent alot of time in clinics filled with children being treated for cancer. For the very young ones, loss of hair is not much of an issue. But some the older kids, especially girls, are very bothered by it. Because of you, a kid is going to look in the mirror and smile.

Thank you.

Lobby BBCAmerica To Air Panorama!!!

by AngryXJW in

bbcamerica has a page where one can submit requests for specific programs:______.

http://www.bbcamerica.com/about/contactus_email.jsp.

i have no clue whether this is intended for "other programs" aired by "other bbc affiliates", but it would seem to be worth 5 minutes for everyone to take the time to fill out a request that "suffer the little chidren" be aired on bbcamerica.
