  KH restoration in New Orleans

  i just received this from a family member, i was wondering if anyone has any videos that depict bapstists, catholics or any other religion helping out with volunteers?

  i would love to respond with my own video that shows jw's are not alone in caring for others when disaster strikes.

  what other group of people can do this?

  I noticed the chairs stacked outside were the same style and colour of the chairs in my old hall. My butt hurts from just remembering them.

  I can add my enthusiasm for Little Miss Sunshine and again for Departed (just got home from seeing that). I almost forgot about the Straight Sory. That is a really good movie, too!

  New Urban Legend! Anyone heard about Hormel?

  by gaiagirl in

  a member of another conservative cult (calls itself a bible fellowship) where i work told me that hormel, the makers of canned chili and other foods, is run by homosexuals, and that i shouldn't buy or eat their products.

  i asked how the bedroom practices of the company owners or employees affected the quality of the food?

  their reply was that "everything gives off something" and that the food would be tainted by some kind of deviant unnatural vibes because the owners/employees were deviant and following an unnatural lifestyle.

  Why risk the bloodguilt? If it aint baptized just wait for god to kill it at armageddon. Seriously though, I have a Betta and I wouldn't even think about ending his existance. He is almost no trouble to take care of and I enjoy having him around. You're a bit of a jerk, slim.

  African JWs Can Keep "Messianic" Attire Because It's There Culture!

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  my mom went to the sunday meeting and a missionary that was formerly in the congregation was showing (boring) slides about the "work" in africa.

  when he showed some pictures of some witnesses, they were dressed in what he called "messianic attire".

  he told the audience that it was no big deal that they were being allowed to continue this style of dress by the society since it was merely seen as "cultural".

  John Edward (psychic)--What do you make of it?

  have you watched this guy's show?

  i really don't believe much in the afterlife, but this makes me wonder.

  unless they are all plants in the audience, he is either a mind reader or is really communicating with their dead loved ones.

  I've read on skeptic sites and in print that he practices "cold reads", is prompted by staff in the audience, that the audience is screened or questioned beforehand and that much of the guessing is edited out of the final show to make him look as though he has an actual ability. I think the walls between this life and anything else (if there is anything else) are unbreachable

  I somehow managed to confound my Apple (Macintosh, Mac for short) G4 laptop computer into not accepting my password. A friend was able to wipe my hard drive and I re installed my operating system. Good thing I don't keep anything important onmy computer.

  How 'diverse' is your life now?

  by AK - Jeff in

  2. friends

  what have you done with your life, what friends have you made, what goals have you pursued, that were impossible to do as a witness?.

  i know that in our case, we have few friends yet, due to spending most of the past few years 'healing' from the borg-torture.

  i discuss politics and religion freely with many of them.

  I was just talking about this last weekend.
  I have friends who are considered a bit off the traditional path;
  Artists, cartoonists, gay, straight, singers, actors, poly, monogamous, pierced, tattooed, religious and/or not, writers, t-shirt designers... A whole world of different but wonderful people.
