i was afraid people might think i was trying to "compensate" for something... ya know it's a "guy" thing.
i'm told (jnbnz) it's a black and white pic of a couple.
because i can't... i think the deemunz have possesed my 'puter.
((UD&Mrs.)) That darn cult does make it difficult to have a happy family life, despite the advertized claims. They do their best to foster resentments and make it easy to keep account of injury.
I found this today, and think it very interesting. It has given me a new way to look at things, and hope you can find benefit. http://www.nlpco.com/articles/body_forgiveness.php

wonder just when this was taken.
i thought he was a bit younger looking then this: .
I had the same kind of I-can't-believe-I'm-standing-beside-one-of-the-Governing-Body smile as these folks have.
Scully, is that a '$hit eating grin'?
herr commandant!
i know, i know, i'm goin' to hell for that... but you're going to hell for having an opinion on it in the first place.
it's nonya bidness.
sixofnine, what was treacle and vinegar? that was a chilling movie. but tommy's cousin kevin and uncle ernie were just as awful.
up until this evening i had thought teresa schiavo was in an unconcious state, lying on a bed with just a machine keeping her alive.
how wrong was i?
i saw her smiling and showing awareness of her surroundings.
I weep for Terri and her Parents. What a travesty. However, I really think that this case, Terry, her parents, and her husband?s guardianship and the right to make this decision are but a small part of an overall plan, one beyond the parent's ability or desire to care for Terri.
I truly feel this is somehow related to the current administrations take on social security, and the retirement age. Bear with me a moment, this is not a thread hijack. On 2-15-05 I saw Pat Robertson at the National Press Club Luncheon played on C-SPAN (god, wish I had tivo! no ref of it on google). talking about the president's plan for social security, and raising the retirement age. He said to the effect of people are living longer, and should work to support themselves. He used himself as an example. (of course, he is wealthy beyond any our imaginations). When asked about all those who are in ill health, and what the responsibility of the government was in their care, he replied to the effect of they should have taken better care of themselves.
The central legal point of this case with Terri is whether she would have wanted to remain alive in a state other than a fully functioning person. Her husband insists that she would want to have the 'plug pulled' if she was in such a state. That and the fact that the medical opinion given the most weight by the court supports the theory she will never recover, and is a veg.
I think we will see legislation come from this case that will make mandatory a living will for all Amerikans. Further, whether there will be a choice of DNR or artificial life support will be based on the law that the right to life president who was then governor of Texas passed on state funded life support. If one has the ability to pay for one's support, or family willing to do so, one will have the choice. Else, the precedent will have been set by this case. The Schiavo Precedent.
And yes, her husband is a sleaze. But then, to my eyes, this whole issue is a conflicted-vested interest circle jerk, and unfortunately, there is a real person in the middle, named Terri, who has been sentenced to die.
ok, loosing my damnable mind over here.
i have not smoked today and i am ready to climb the walls....so, with that said, is it just me?....
or is it this irritability frustration that could be solved with some "cuddling?
So perhaps by quitting the person will regain more sexual drive, fertility, and virility. Wonderful incentives to quit, don't you all think?
DY, I think I would prefer the "cuddle" and "chew" that Elsewhere is so afraid of to being fertile.
changing my mantra to nacho ~ not another child here ok?

For my husband's sake I hope so!!
I had my last cig Friday nite. I woke up Saturday with an empty pack and a bowl full of butts. I picked thru them, found one long enough to light, and found my lighter was empty. I took that as a sign. I had been meaning to quit for a while, especially since my dad has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At least I won't reek when I visit him. I made it thru Saturday, but by Sunday was at the Walgreens giving them $40.00 for a starter kit of Nicorette Gum. I did not attack the box right away, but waited till the stress got to me. Had two pieces by the time I went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night sick as a dog, thought it was the gum that did it to me, only to realize I had the flu. By the time I had recovered enough to stand up I had the nicodemon baked out of my system. It has been a mind game ever since.
I have lurked this site http://www.quitnet.com/, and have found some helpful ideas. I use the word NOPE like a mantra meaning Not One Puff Ever. Since I have the drug out of my system and don't want to put any more in with the gum, I use NACHO meaning Not Another Chew, Hold On. I am lucky too, because I am not around any smokers.
By the way Sparkplug, I no longer need this box of gum. Please PM me if you would like to give it a try.

the watchtowers call to all congregations for accountants and lawyers especially those familiar with tax laws makes me seriously think they may be in hot water.
since the watchtower organization has been very vocal especially in the past about its anti-government stanse and its df'ing of persons that join the military,or other government jobs, i'm willing to speculate that the united state counter intellignece agency has seen the need to sneak some of its agents inside the wt, for internal security purposes.
also i'm sure that the internal revenue has been keeping a close eye on the gb,, the reason being that they are a huge cash cow, and a dishonest coniving mind control cult.
Truth_about_the Truth, I am currently reading an online book by Springmyer. Pretty bizzare, not to mention scary. The chapter I just finished mentions Franz et.al. http://educate-yourself.org/mc/illumformula4chap.shtml part B speaks of the Franz connection to the CIA mind control program. I always wondered if we were being used as some kind of testing or proving ground for government backed mind control. After all, the society lied about the love, blood, malawi, the un...then there is RandCam.
Who is this Springmyer, and how credible is he? In the chapter 3 drug section, I did find some glaring errors (LSD-25's main ingredient is psylocybin?!?!?).
good morning fellow servants of the lord, and welcome!
lets all stand and sing song number #666 "our merciful god" .
*passes really big collection plate* .
life at armpit level in crowds suck!i hereby disassociate myself from the church of Gumby!
and if i ever reach 5ft i'm gonna kick your behiney!
Candidly, I know what you mean! I'm sending your way a can of Oust for those 'uncomfortable' social situations. Don't fret about being short, you lovely emu-you! With neck and beak, you can peck from toe to cheek.
thinking about vallis assembly post on the other board made me think of an evil idea.
suppose you were at an assembly eating lunch with the elder about to give the next talk (one of those two hour groaners).
all of a sudden he leaves to use the bathroom and you have a chance to sneak an illegal narcotic of your choice into his food*.
Unless it is a formal white jacket situation, why waste the goodies on 'em? Thorazine, anyone?
enough of the wts intimidation and getting away with all sorts of crap.
we, "the people", have more power than they, "the establishment", do.. this year i propose that we make ourselves heard and noticed.
that as many people as possible protest at their beloved memorial - the one event that is "most sacred" to them.. i am not suggesting that we disrupt or do anything illegal but simply that we exercise our right to take up their offer of free wine and make a statement.. go, drink.
Simon, in theory I like your suggestion. Memorial is THE Dubbie holiday. They usually drag all their studies, and any other 'worldly' individual unfortunate enough to accept their invitation to the Memorial. I like Beans suggestion. Rather than disruption inside the hall, how bout a silent picket, with signs to draw attention to the pedophile problem. Sayings like '1 in 4 Congos. harbor a pedo. Is it this the one?' or 'WTBTS policy allows pedos to operate here'. Or 'WWW.Silentlambs.org'. Even better, if you are near a hall with a convicted pedo or abuser. Name names. It is a matter of public record.
How many worldly ones would be likely to go back? How many studies or publishers might take a second look at the society?
