  Our President represents many religions and cultures. No one should be set apart. I'm very concerned after reading about the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago USA the church that Barak Obama is actively a member. If you click on their Mission statement and consider what they're about... it should be deeply concerning. Why? Because they feel "a non-negotiable committment to Africa". Considering the different links on that page and substitute the word, "white", everywhere the word "black" appears.... if this were a white candidate supporting these separatist ideas you'd say, "Never should this person become President."

  I'm not against someone choosing for themselves a religion or being proud of their heritage, BUT I am feeling very troubled when they are of the belief that one race is "supreme"/"chosen"/"royal priesthood" over others. This is a dangerous mindset all the way and there is no place for such in a nation's leader.

  if she gains enough momentum, would you consider voting that way?

  i want to see the national health care ideas debated and brought to forefront in the us.

  so if obama loses steam i actually [gulp] might.

  See? You leave a damned cult - and you might start thinking all over the board. My brain is moving faster than I can keep up

  hey Jeff....

  "Constantly challenging what you believe is true is how we grow and make things better." My daughter's wise saying.

  I'm waiting for Hillary to pin Obama down to be specific. I want to hear some details... Personally I have to agree w/others here who feel he has very limited experience, and he makes a lot of promises w/o being specific.

  I have shingles I think.

  .

  for those of you who don't know what it is.it's a form of the chicken pox virus.after you get chicken pox as a kid the virus goes dormant in your nerve endings.most people never have any problem again with this virus.some people like me get the shingles.the symptoms include pain in your nerves.a rash that looks like tiny blisters.aches and flu like symptoms.and many others.i am contagious to people who have never had the chicken pox before.especially small children and pregnant women.you can't get the shingles from me but you can get chicken pox from me.. i have this stabbing pain in my back which i thought was a pinched nerve.i also have a thing on my back in the spot where i thought i had the pinched nerve that i thought was a spider bite.the pain is radiating around my side to my right breast.my right breast has been burning for 3 days now,about the same amount of time as i've had this spider bite looking thing on my back.i chalked that up to time of the month.this "spider bite " looking thing is on my right side.i'm having aches and pains like i have the flu.i don't feel good.. i asked my boss's mom to look at this bite thing and see if that was what it was because i've never had a spider bite before but i know they can get infected really bad sometimes.i didn't put 3 and 3 together with the nerve pain and the burning breast and the spider bite thing.the other girl i work with was there and she said it looked to her like shingles.i freaked out because i've had them before but not since i was a kid i was 10 or 11.my boss has 3 little girls i thought might be able to get chicken pox from me through contact with him.

  so i called a nurse answer line at the county hospital to see if that could happen.i told the nurse what was happening and what had been suggested to me might be shingles.she told me i needed to get my butt to the doctors in the next 24 hours for anti viral meds.that's the only way to clear this up quickly.otherwise i'll have this for months possibly.the nurse then proceeded to make an appointment for me tomorrow at the next available clinic in there system.she also made an appointment for me to get rated on a sliding scale to pay for this treatment.. stress brings them on so does weakened immune system from illness.i have both right now.i'm sick and i'm overly stressed at the moment.sigh..

  I agree w/the others. Don't ignore what the doc tells you about treatment.

  My daughter had shingles after her traumatic pregnancy. She had the chicken pox when she was 5; shingles at 28. She was very sick.

  Elder asks me why we quit... (Long)

  in this thread i mentioned having a long chat with an elder last summer.

  i didn't realize i had never posted the story, so here it is.. last summer (when i went to buy my new camera lens) i ran into one of my favorite jws at the photography shop.

  he was buying a camera bag for his new dslr, and i saw him, went up and greeted him, hugged him.

  "Well, maybe you're just too intelligent for Jehovah."

  I have to laugh Odrade! You had him by the balls w/your reasoning. He had no where to go w/his
  "canned" replies....thus the comment. I feel there ARE some very nice people in the JW organization, but as you said they've made the CHOICE.

  adjustable religous malarky.

  are todays jw beliefs the same deal you originally agreed to?

  now that you have gotten settled in, do you find it difficult to keep up with the changes to the deal?

  Interesting analogy... I believe the bottom line for anything in life is CHOICE. I've made poor choices and good choices. Boohoo and move on. It's up to me to make the difference for myself. That's life.

  anyone get sucked in?

  i always thought it was ironic how often they preached against this sort of thing from the platform, then were out in the parking lot trying to sell it to you.

  tons of elders defrauding folks this way..

  Shaklee products were huge at the congregation I attended. I used to buy their stuff and cleaners (cause they were eco-friendly). It was an elder who had the business. It was just accepted... others were told not to promote their stuff while at the Hall. Again, it depended who you were if it were allowed or not.
