  if you met someone from the stone age of five thousand years ago, that was resurrected to live in our times and world what would you say and do for him/her?

  .

  remember our world with all the recent inventions of the last 100 years or so will be unrecognizable to them.

  this is my first post.

  i have read and benefited greatly from all of the posts on the board.

  i just wanted to share a little of my story perhaps to gain insight into myself, and perhaps just to share with like minded people.

  in view of the transit bombings, do you feel that police should be able to search you or your bags at anytime?

  I think the police should be able to search anyones bag or person whenever they want, if you have nothing to hide then what is the problem?

  I for one would feel a lot safer knowing that the police are stopping and searching.

  Am I a Sucker?

  the other day, my wife ran into a girl who she used to babysit for and is now 19 years old.

  i remember when this girl used to come to our house, she was always such a little sweetheart.

  she always kind of reminded me of a little doll, just tossed in the corner and forgotten.

  I don't think you are being conned or are a sucker, you are doing a kind deed and you should give yourself a pat on the back for that.

  Just be careful that she doesn't outstay her welcome though, try to make sure she gets a job and plans on moving out shortly.

  And the tree fell

  in the middle of the night, a tree in my yard split and half of it fell right across the street.

  so early this morning i was up cutting it up and getting it out of the road.. now as i was doing this i started thinking about the noah story and what it would take to build something out of wood as large as the ark was described to be.

  now i had a chain saw that made relatively quick work of it, but i can tell you that even a 2 foot piece of green lumber is quite heavy.

  Do you ever feel guilty?

  by pratt1 in

  1. jw

  after reading hs topic of shunning, it got me thinking - how many people have i hurt over the years by shunning, marking, labeling as "bad association"?

  when i hear the stories of my fellow posters, it really makes me regret how super rightoeus, guillible and judgemental, i was back then, when i had no real life experience or any right to judge anyone elses choices or mistakes in life.. i know i can't change the past, but i am sincerely sorry to anyone i shunned back then and although i know my family will never change their belief in the "troof" i will always make it a point to let them know just how damaging the practice of shunning really is and how it can even lead some one to suicide.. i am sure if i had put a bullet in my head when i was dfed their view on the "troof would be different today.. by the way they never shunned me.

  "family business" clause.. is anyone else guilty of this?

  I've never shunned anyone but what I have done is drop all my 'worldly' friends for the 'truth', I don't really feel guilty about it as it was years ago but I do regret it and I am still trying to track them all down on Friends Reunited.
