  I actually have the Harry's razor. I think it shaves really well. I don't like their cream, (to dry for me) but the blades are fine. Their plans are affordable but you don't have to buy a plan. I buy what I want and when. Cost per cartridge is less than what you'd pay at the store and you can get free shipping. Buy 4 blades ($2.00 ea) and pay shipping. Buy 8 blades ($1.88 ea) and get free shipping and pay less per blade.

  i went camping in pagosa springs with my brother and his family last weekend.

  i asked him if he wanted to do the "cinnamon challenge".

  he had never heard of it before and i had never tried it.

  This Cinnamon challenge is most dangerous. Cinnamon is ground so fine that if aspirated (inhaled) during the coughing it can form a lining in the lungs preventing you from getting any oxygen.

  This challenge is not funny and the end result can be disastrious. Please think before doing or encouraging someone else to do.

  Has anyone ever saved another persons life?

  i don't mean you advised them and they changed their lives around, kind of saving a life.. i mean right before your eyes, right now, you had to do something to save a person or they would be dead.. how did it make you feel?

  did it have any affect on you?.

  forty years ago i was working on a construction site and a back-hoe had loosened a large boulder.

  Came up on multi vehicle accident 1:00am pickup truck with young adults in the cab and riding in the box hit a car headon. One young person laying in road. Came up to him and he was not breathing. My training kicked in and opened and cleared airway and he started breathing. Got another person to hold his head while I triaged the remaining injured. Felt good knowing all survived. Never did find out how everyone did. Privacy issues prevented hospital and ambulance staff from saying anything.

  my friend's daughter, who was baptized at 14, has decided to leave the witnesses.

  she's in her early 20's.

  she's stopped going to meeting a while ago and moved in with her father who is disfellowshipped.

  I threatened legal action before the letters. Kicking the elders off my property. It took about 6 months before the registered letter came. In reality it is not registered as I didn't have to sign but it is a certified delivery letter. Obviously Jah's legal chariot doesn't move to swiftly. Second registered letter came. I ignored that one also. Third registered letter came stating that they determined I disassociated myself and inso doing eliminated any appeal on my part.

  What the accusations are will be a factor in what their decision is df/dis. The announcment to the congregation is the same and the shunning result is the same. In any case, look forward, keep your head up and enjoy your newly given freedom.

  Do you write a check to the "ex" each month? Write "For maintenance AND Christmas Presents" in the notes section. Use any coming up holiday as you choose. When the "ex" cashes it, she is then being complicit in the holiday. Tell her if she doesn't want to buy any Christmas presents with it. Just don't cash the check. Sounds like she is playing the game with you. Time to play back. Use this to see your daughter.

  The wife is reading a book "The Dowry of Miss Lydia Clark" by Lawana Blackwell, total fiction. Well into the book she exclaims "Oh my God!" I asked her what it was. She then reads aloud from the book. "... but the discussion drifted over to a book circulating throughout England, written by an American named Charles Russell and stating positively that Christ would return in 1874, she excused herself for her room. Such talk was terrifying - it was easier to store in the back of her mind the notion that one day Quetin would make an honest woman of her and she would reconcile with God. The last thing she wanted to think about was facing Him in the near future."

  Rarely see them about these days and then they pop up in our romance liturature.

  how much do you want to bet, that in the next year or two, the governing body will get "new light" and change their name to jehovah's christian witnesses"?.

  Their letterhead has on it, "Christian Congregation of Jehovan's Witnesses". This way they affiliate them selves with the word Christian but keep the name different than the other group to avoid any legal entanglements.

  Banks never show the tellers what counterfeit money looks like? It’s truly a lie!

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been meaning to post this for awhile and i just came across this example yet again with a jw it is so frustrating because it is just not true!.

  i so clearly remember assemblies and talks where this point was brought out over and over, that banks teach their teller only what real money looks like so they will know the feel and touch of it, that banks never give their telles counterfeit but only real money so then when a counterfeit comes through they can catch it easily because they know what the real thing looks like so well.

  it is even in the bible teach book that was printed in 2005.. none of it is true.. when my husband and i left bethel in 1994 i was working at two jobs all the time to try to make it, finally i got a job as a bank teller.
