once a day, usually breakfast or lunch.... breakfast - slice of whole wheat bread with a generous tablespoon of olive oil rubbed in washed down with small 2-3 oz glass of red wine.. or.

lunch - slice of whole wheat bread toasted, rubbed with a clove of garlic, smeared with tbsp of olive oil folded over a nice bit of cheese and wshed down with a 4-5 oz glass of red wine.. eat pretty much anything i want otherwise.

Gregor: I don't know if you've tried roasting the garlic first, but it makes it incredibly tasty and along with the olive oil and wine makes for a delicious treat.

LOL

I'm glad someone's liking it.

I've gotten to level 14. But usually it's 12 am by the time I get that far and I'm too tired to see where the ball is going LOL

That website has a gem game as well. It's easy but fun. Basically get 3 or more gems of the same color in a row horizontal or vertical.

I have tried to be an atheist

by stillajwexelder in

i have tried to be an atheist- honestly, i have really tried.

i have most of dawkins books and many others.

i completely agree there has to be some evolution and obviously the fossil record in the grand canyon plus erosion shows it must be at least 600 million years old.

Sooooo if it claims to be from God and you DON'T like what it says it must not be from God? Whatever floats your boat.

?? Huh??

And I said that where?

Assume nothing.

YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER BOOK THAT TELLS US ALL WE NEED TO KNOW TO LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE AND PEACE WITH ALL, THAT ALSO CLAIMS TO BE FROM GOD!

i was just curious---.

i assume that there are active jws that visit here.. any idea on the percent that the board has?

does it just seem to be a very few or is it a substantial number?.

WHY ARE ROSALEE AND RENIAA HERE?????!!!!!

Who are we to say they shouldn't be?

Isn't one of the reasons we left the borg was to be out of an environment where we had no freedom to talk about what was on our mind? Haven't some been kicked out for speaking their minds?

Do we really want to foster that kind of environment here? One where only one opinion is acceptable and all others should be silenced?

I have had people here tell me before it's better that they're here. Because the conversations that develop between them and the people here can often speak more than what we do alone.
Perhaps they do at times dance around the issue. So what? I see it. You see it. And Allllll the other people in net world who are looking for information can see it too

And if they are willing to stay.....heh, perhaps Simon~~Peter~~'s board will plant a little seed

Reni: I'm in a really bad mood tonight and your response really just perked me up.

I have a few other things to say, but honestly, I'm tired right now. It's been a long day and my brain is sort of wired for er not niceness :)

But I will say this:
I am GLAD you are here.

I am glad because we live in a world where we build walls. I would rather have you and Rosalee here discussing whatever.

I hope that for the time that JWD is online, you remain, as does Rosalee.

have a great night :)
