Gosh Moshe, after reading your post I really want a cigarette now! Ha, just kidding. Thanks for the information I did some quit smoking research online to get as much help as possible in quitting and I found out a lot of things I was ignorant of--like how the receptors in the brain are occupied by the nicotine and many other things too technical for me to recite right now, but I know it's bad. There is a web site called WhyQuit that says if a quitter takes one puff of a cigarette the person has full relapse, just like an alcoholic. Haven't tested that theory and I am afraid to. It's been six weeks and I will not take that chance being a long time two-pack a day smoker. I wish I had the insight when I first picked up the cigarette to smoke that I have now.

No I haven't tried the electronic ones. I am curious about them. Thanks for the reminder, I will check them out. I had quit cold turkey because it came down to my being able to pay a bill or buy a pack of cigarettes. Usually the cigarettes would have won out but for some reason they didn't this time. I didn't go the route of nicotine replacement items like patches, gum, etc. because those items are almost as much as the cigarettes but from what I've seen on TV the electronic cigarettes are cheaper. I'm going to look them up online. Drug addicts (heroin) tell me that cigarettes are as bad an addiction as the drugs they use; they can get off of heroin and get on methadone but they can't get off the cigarettes. I believe it. I know I still want them. Anyway, thanks again for the reminder.

the global Noahic flood is truth
by undercover inthat's not my assertion... that quote belongs to "godrulz" who said it on a thread introducing a newbie.
instead of hijacking that one, i thought i'd repeat here.. now, mr. godrulz... are you prepared to back that statement up with some proof?.

It's been 12 years since the release of the 'Daniel' book
by truthseeker init was the summer of 1999. there i was sitting at the assembly when the speaker announces a new publication -daniel's prophecy or something like that.. there were a lot of eager dubs waiting to get their hands on that book.
we might learn the identity of the "king of the north"!
that's what i wanted to read, though in fact all the society had to say about that was "we are wise not to speculate".. looking back, it seems like this was the last book to properly address the end times prophecies - i didn't feel that way with the isaiah books, they simply regurgitated old stuff and made the anointed fit into every prophecy isaiah ever uttered.. it seems like the organization has gone on auto pilot, cutting costs, lowering print output and providing "how to live and function in the organization" books.. .

The Daniel book had the same effect on me as it did on NewChapter. I went back to the meetings. It was the only interesting book at the time (and hasn't been one since) though totally inaccurate. At the time I thought I had something to look forward to. Their other books put me to sleep.

Hope you stay of the cigarettes for good. I am in my 6th week of non-smoking after being addicted for many years. It's a horrible withdrawal and I still want them. So take it from someone who knows.....don't take another puff.
