  Sun lamps / air purifiers for DEPRESSION....

  by logansrun in

  hello folks,.

  i'm curious if anyone here has personal experience with using a sun lamp and/or air purifier for depression.

  chicago -- where i live -- is generally a cold and rather gloomy place in the winter.

  I used to work in the transportation industry, and found out thru the Safety end of it about the Circadian Cycle. That is the natural rhythm governed by light every living thing has in relation to sleep/wake. It seems to be genetic, and could explain why some people require less or more sleep. With out enough sleep, a person is as unalert and accident prone as some one who has been drinking.

  For me, personally, lack of light can be an issue. I have a 500w HID system, that I garden with. (Hanging with my plants helps, too.) I find that the lamp can help reset my clock, improve my mood, and if I get too much light, I get really amped.

  it's just become general knowledge in a wsm congregation that the wife of the ex po was removed from the pioneer list for selling clothes.

  ..selling clothes along with the watchtower & awake whilst out in the ministry work!

  apparently, she'd been doing this for about 30 years.

  Crisis Of Conscience - What Did The Society Say?

  by dh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember reading somewhere online that the society have banned jw's from reading ray franz book; crisis of conscience.

  i wondered what the details of this were, have they actually named the book in any of their publications?

  or spoken publicly against it?

  I also wondered if anyone knew which Society publications were actually written by Ray Franz.

  I recently went through our old society junk, took and inventory, and now am deciding what to do with it. I ran across a page on FreeMinds, Inc. on used prices.
  

  http://www.freeminds.org/sales/booksale.htm

  I was suprised to see that we have two on his list that were 'written by an "apostate"'. 'The Commentary on the Letter of James', and 'Choosing the Best Way of Life' . I take it that the apostate in question is none other than Ray Franz.

  ps-no wonder pioneer sis-in-law tossed 'em in the trash.

  I can take nearly any example they provide, read the scripture in context backwards and forwards, and they are flummoxed. To give a proprer response, they have to run back to their Reasoning book.

  When I was being indoctrinated, I recall telling the pioneer (sister-in-law) I usually read the verse before and after the one being discussed, to put the verse in context. She did not seem to understand why, and found it profoundly funny that I would do such a thing.

  bit of background.

  i grew up as a jw i left the church when i was 14 because a ministerial servant who was conducting a one on one baptism study with me said that i couldn't ballance my dreams of being a professional singer with the so called "truth".

  i stopped the study and told my mom i no longer wanted to be a witness.

  My Fascination With Nicely Shaped Jugs

  by Englishman in

  this is a part of my collection.. the all-blue jug and the "pinch pot" below were made in a local pottery in the 1920's and are known as wesuma ware.

  (weston super mare).

  the others are all doulton lambeth ware from the late 1800's, well before the company came to be called royal doulton.

  An uncle of mine gave my brother and myself all his old MAD mags, the first five years worth. When my bro. went to college, mom cleaned out his room and tossed them. What a shame, because they were soooo funny!

  Now besides dust, I collect books. History, literature, art and reference. And James Michener first editions. My poor husband. When we moved, I had 80 cartons full. Books that is, not dust.

  Motorcycles are no good

  this is a new topic so not to contradict myself (bigdeal), with garbage i posted in a previous thread, started by bean.

  contrary to what valis posted vague opinion, i still believe that the motorcycle is a reinvented glorified (no merit) bycicle.. i also beleive that it was reinvented by (or ordered by ) a lazy, or semiparilitic son of bin oil magnate.. i tell you anyone who do that to the ozone deserve to be called anything you want.. .

  i mean the ozone was just fine until they found out that the liquidblackgoldmilkshake was good business.. .

  Is it motorcycles, or any fossil fuel using conveyance?

  how do you get to work? doctor? grocery store? yo mama's house?

  yeah, it sux being one who contributes to the demise of the ozone layer, but till reliable affordable alt is available for the general public, what's a person to do?

  Valis-you men always have had the 'pee advantage'. Gives me a whole new mental pix of a 'service station'.
