quoted some info from the greatest story ever told -this is the sun (god's sun.).

-the sun is the most adored object of all time.. -the christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun.. -the tracking of the stars allowed them to recognize and anticipate events occurred over long periods of time, such as eclipses and full moons.

they in turn catalogued clestial groups into what we know today as constellations.. -one of the oldest conceptual images in human history reflects the sun as it figuratively passes through the 12 major constellations over the course of a year.

so since no one picked up the ball, after my thread on "your jw father".....here we go.... my mother (bless her heart) was born in kansas in 1926....her mother died in 1934, when my mother was 8 years old.

she died trying to give yourself an abortion with a coat hanger.

it was the "great depression".....she was 34 years old 4 kids and a 5th on the way...my grandfather would blow through town just long enough to "knock her up" and leave....no money....no hope.

How can you be faithful yet not gullible or misled?
by The Dragon in

2. beliefs
i hear all the time how leaders justify why people should buy into and follow their guesses...and the whole defense is if you don't you have no faith.. what protects a "faithful" person from becoming prey to a self-exalted leader and their guesses?

or are the faithful meant to be prey or something?.

hi guys, i was researching this because of something that's going on with a family member, and i found it quite interesting since some other family members who we have tried counseling on the use of this substance told us that marijuana is not addictive, that it's an innocent plant and is not harmful yadayadayada, yeah right!

i intend to go over this with our kids and make sure they understand the documented dangers of this very popular drug.

i just wanted to share it with you all.
