  How come the US taxpayer has to bail out the greedy, immoral bankers

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  $750 billion.

  thats about $2,000 for every us citizen.. what i don't understand is how come it is viewed as communism and interventionism to interfere with the market when the times are good, but as soon as it all goes sour, the us government immediately intervenes to bail the market out and mortgage future generations of hardworking us taxpayers?

  it's almost surreal.

  I need some input (Migraines)

  by Tired of the Hypocrisy in

  2. friends

  does anyone know of any documented proof that long hair causes migraine headaches?.

  the reason i ask is because my 16 year old son has this head full of curls.

  he also has what we believe to be bad migraines.

  Migraine headaches being associated with long hair, or any other hair style, would be the same as a superstition - or voodoo if you want to use that term. I have dealt with this for most of my life, which is 54 years. To take care of migraines see a doctor that is a specialist in this area. After trying numerous prescriptions the one that finally helped me was one that is for blood pressure (Benicar). If one medicine doesn't work another will need to be tested, and it can take a long time to find the right one. Also, once one is found to work, it can stop working for migraines after a while and another will need to be found. Migraines do not need to be something that has a high impact in a persons life. See a real doctor that specializes in migraines and be persistent. Do not listen to people that believe in superstitious ideas. Good luck,

  well, first off, to you whom suggested magnesium to me, thank you (i think) .

  my headaches have been a constant source of misery for me since my last desperate post regarding them.

  but i did start on the magnesium treatment.

  Magnesium helped a friend of mine with migraines. It did not help me though.
  
  
  The magic pill for me was Benicar ... after trying numerous prescription pills that specialist suggested. Still use Imitrex every once and a while.

  It is common for Jehovah’s Witnesses supposedly in “good standing” to shun those that no longer attend meetings (perceived to be not in good standing), or have been falsely accused by someone that is thought to be in “good standing” in the congregation (in other words - attending the meetings and not under restrictions). It would be very rare for someone that is “fading” to be perceived as a good person in the congregation. Unfortunately that is the nature of a Cult. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

  Silent Lambs

  by BEROEAN in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so was this all about money or what?

  i was hoping silent lambs would resist the money and push for the exposure of the criminals.

  instead they cave in to the gag order and they took the money and ran!

  OK, I deleted what I originally posted. I'm trying to be nice. Beroean, please explain how you came to the conclusion that Silent Lambs took a “money grab”. I look forward to understanding your point of view. Thanks,

  willyloman I agree with what you said. I watched the vast majority of the televised trial and do not think that the prosecution proved guilt beyond a “reasonable doubt”; however, I think he did commit the crime. I could be wrong about thinking he is guilty, but I honestly think he is guilty. Sometimes the guilty are found innocent in the courts. Unfortunately, that sometimes happens in order to protect the innocent. I served as a juror on a trial where the accused was guilty, and everyone knew it. But, according to the existing laws of the state, he could not be found guilty. I was an alternate and was not required to deliberate on the verdict, the jury could not agree on a verdict during that trial. The person was tried again and he was found guilty. The jury that I was on was the second trial for the same crime… he was found guilty during the first trial. The third jury also found him guilty. I don’t know if new evidence was presented during the third trial. Trials in the US are not perfect, but it is the best we have at this time.

  I don't believe that the elder did anything other that what the GB instructed him to do. The reason for pleading not guilty, I read somewhere, provides a means for possible reduced sentences... just a legal maneuver in most courts in the US.
