Really huh, should be easy since its a central doctrine? You may not believe in the Catholic church you grew up in, but guess what they would have said if you would have asked for a simple answer on the Trinity? I'll give you a little hint, since I have asked many. They say something along the lines of "Oh, its too complicated for mere man to understand, and if you ask, you must not have faith in God" Now, let me ask you this, if you needed to reformat your HD, install Win 98, install your video card, soundcard, network card, hook up the internet, and reinstall all your software programs.. you think someone could pick out one or two paragraphs out of a book on this subject to help you? Didn't think so, next time, skip that argument, and come up with a new one. one other point. "Another side step and then they started on revelations and asked me about the cryptic nature of revelations. I said that, for my money, John of Patmos was probably using substances that would be classified as illegal today. At that they smiled, chuckled and said they would use that as the point to stop our discussion .... for today. Does that mean I'll get a return visit? I really want a chance to trot out the timeline from "Alleymom" where she blows the 607 date out of the water. This could be fun" Next time, INVITE them back for a return visit, ask as many questions as you like, TAPE it, because when I did this, after listening to many ppl say "hey! ask your JW this!" type of stupid posts, you know what I found out? That their arguments make alot more sense then yours. Not one of them said, "and that I thought that was bullshit, too! "

blah blah blah, let me show you a book called "101 Questions to ask your JW" You are not the first one to go "Hey! I was smart today when the JW's showed up, I asked questions that they just couldn't answer in a simple 2 sentence response! Me so smart, me so ed-u-cated! >>>>told them I really would like them to point out in the bible where it says Jesus came back invisibly in 1914. Hmm, a little bit of surprise and they said that that would take more than just one scripture to prove and it would take too long without an in-depth bible-study. I said why should it? Just point out one of the scriptures pertinent to the 1914 invisible return of Christ. It should be easy since it's a central doctrine.

The most popular use of it is for Heroin addiction, but it isnt FOR Heroin, as Morton68 touched on "to avoid shakes,withdrawls,sweats,being sick" or whats commonly called the "DT'S" or dope sick. It is really to treat the actual DT's and not the cause of them. It is used for a number of powerfull addictions, from Heroin, Xanax, Morphine, Oxycontin, Meth and a number of prescription pain pills and muscle relaxers. Basically, any drug that induces DT's, it is used for.. To get an understanding of what DT's is like.. if you are a tobacco user, remember the last time that you had a really bad nic fit, when you got really irritable, jittery, your skin flustered, and you could only think about it? Imagine it so bad, that you would literally chew the inside of your gums out, to a bleeding state, you sweated so bad that you might as well have been in the shower, with only the hot water on... the palms of your hands are seeping blood from the incisions your nails have made into them, and if you werent locked into your room, or tied to the bed, you would be out on the streets doing anything you could to make it all go away. Not to mention the agonzing pain in your stomach, that if you had the ability to imagine at the moment, you could very well see an alien embryo bursting its way from your abdomen. In other words, if they put you on Methadone, most likely, its a godsend, as long as you dont get addicted to it...

Have you ever had a Jewish friend that you have had to ask the same question? Honor your friends beliefs, and just give him the present later, Christmas/New Years are within the same 7 day period, just wait a few weeks and guess what, you neither have to bother with the question, and you don't put your friend in an akward position. Or, if your the type that likes to cause problems, give a ham to your Jewish friend, just because you found a nice one on sale.
