I got promoted to 2nd degree black belt this past summer. I was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame in November.
I just got a really cool digital fuel gauge for my Harley for Christmas.
I got to travel to New York City, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Columbus, OH in 2010 all on the companies dime.
from http://christianwitnesses.com/, i read the following below.
please what is your reaction to the action of the two elders?
if the account is colloborated, then its very troubling and shocking to say the least.
i have a sub to netflix, but i think it is a rip off.
they raised their prices and i am in the market to find some kind of website with a reasonable fee charged to view movies or tv shows only.
i don't need the dvd rental anymore.
Give www.surfthechannel.com a try.
You can search for TV show and movies. They have new and really old TV and movies as well.
It's mainly just a link library the links you to another site.
I've been using it for a couple of years.
im looking for some advice.. so i grew up as a witness was baptized when i was seventeen, which by the way i was pushed into baptizm cuse my parents kept asking me when i was and threatned to not buy me a car if i didnt get baptized.
since it was never in my heart i was never very dedicated and was disfellowshipped by nineteen i started the process of coming back but after bout four months i moved out.
i started partying alot mainly with my other disfellowshipped friends and nonactive jw frien, we were drinking alot and smoking weed but soon i started feeling the need to go back so i started up at the meetings but i got bored and went back to my old ways, this has been what i have been doing for the last five years, partying getting drunk and drugs and then stopping and going back to the meetings for a couple months, the same process for last the last almost five years.
First I would say you have to get away from your current social group. This includes witness friends and others that drink and do drugs with you. You really need to find a group of people that will build you up and be there for you when you need them. Get off the roller coaster ride you are on.
Personally I would suggest joining a martial arts training school. Training in the martial arts really helped ground me when I was going through my divorce. I found a wonderful group of people that are my true friends and that will be there for me. Now that I've been training for 6 years I'm the one the new ones come to for support and friendship. I'm alway happy to offer it.
i thought i'd dig up some of the references made in the.
"did jesus really die on a cross?
", watchtower 2010, mar pp.18-20interestingly 2 references are honestly quoted, but the other 2 are misquoted.. what are your thoughts on the credibility of each reference source used and why?
I saw an interesting show on Pompeii the other day. They showed an impression where a cross hung in a house when it was covered in ash in 79 A.D.
So Christians were using the cross in their worship only 46 years after Jesus' death.
this question was posed to me by a poster named ice cream.
i don't know my answer yet.
it's one of those, "if you could have just one wish.." kind of questions.
Who is mediator between you and God?
i'm gonna watch the finale of the swedish idol tonight with some friends.
have a great weekend!.
cheers.
Attending a karate tournament in Ohio Saturday. It's the first annual Father Christmas Cup. All the trophies have Santa Claus on them. I've got to win me one of those trophies!!
religion generally sickens me.
for various reasons.
perhaps in my own case it is just because of my bad experiences.. however, in my own moments of deep thought i cannot help but realise how absolutely insane some of the teachings are.. how can jw's (and other religions) say that every human deserves to die.
Religion was invented to control man. The whole born into sin crap is just another way of making people feel worthless and make them believe they need a certain religion to be worthy of life.
It's all about contolling the masses.
earth.
on earth.
and the demons for a thousand years.. rev.
Great Job again Blondie!!
Today, he likewise approves of those, young or old, who refrain from delving into the “deep things of Satan” by means of the Internet or violent video games or by indulging in permissive human reasonings.
What the hell does "permissive human reasonings" mean. Are JW's no longer alound to reason. Just blindly follow a bunch of old men in NY.
i'm wondering if anyone here has had a "near death experience" or know of someone that has.
as an example: such as floating above your body during your operation when the doctors 'lose' you and you make a decision to return back to your body even though the bright light and some voice tell you otherwise... .
did it change you/them in anyway?.
Reasearch on this subject is being done with some interesting results.
This guy is using a modified helmet (God Helmet) to induce out of body experience.
He claim that certain magnetic fields will cause people to have a spiritual experience.
Funny thing is tha he mentions Charles Taze Russell creating the JW's when there was a meteor shower.
