i'm not talking about deeminz and gawds, or the supernatural here, just the state of being spiritual.
what accounts for it in the evolutionary model?
muchos gracias amigos.
Spirituality for everyone is very different and personal. I would say that it is within me, to have love
for myself, and have love and respect for others. To love and respect our earth, and treat others as
i would want to be treated. The birth of my son was an amazing experience, its the point that i learned
to love more deeply than i would have ever thought possible. For me and my husband, it suits us just
to know that we are good people.

the witnesses say that they put the kingdom first in their lives, and that the rest of the world puts pleasures and money and sex first.. a kind of black and white picture of them and the world.. so, you evil people .
Interesting topic, its something to think about since your life had
been mapped out for you. For me its...
Family : my son and husband
Myself: happiness, health
Friends: taking care of my relationships
Money/Career: making sure we have all we need and want
Beyond that, i dont know. Just taking one day at a time.
mine was a short-sleeved 'raver' t-shirt with a hood i wore when i was 13. it was a orange,green and yellow aztec pattern.
for a few months i thought i looked cool.
oh my gosh, some of these are hilarious.
Thinking back to the 80's.....yes, i had some of those
MC Hammer baggy pants in black. Of course at the
time i was hot stuff, but thinking back, GEEZ, how awful
that style was!
Oh, and leg warmers!!!

i'm thinking back to my childhood here, and remembering hanging out with my jw friends.
my buddies and i, when we were 9, 10 years old knew that we wouldn't stay jws.
we hated the restrictions that were put on us and hated being different.
being raised as a jw only made me feel like a freak
Yeah, me too mrsjones! I dont think my heart was ever in it, i tried hard though
i even pioneered for a time. But i would always be ashamed to say what religion
i belonged to, or be embarressed when friends at school would ask.
Geez, im so glad thats over!

i've seen so many of yall suffering with colds, flu, viruses, etc.....well....either yall or yall's family members.
and it's kinda frustrating to sit back, knowing what i know and have experienced as cures for me and my family members, so that we don't get sick from these things anymore.
it isn't ethical to advise yall to use these treatments, so i'll just let yall know what has worked for us and let yall use your own judgment on whether to try these methods.
Thanks evilforce, i'll try that.

along with finding my favorite arm-chair and coffee mug, growing (slightly) older has brought on some curious sleeping habits.. for some time now, i have been in the habit of positioning four pillows in the shape of an arrow and sleeping with my head nestled in the middle supporting shoulders, on my back, with arms and legs stretched out across the whole bed (like a star-fish).
i also have a king size quilt which i use all of.
there is now even a slight dip in the centre of the bed where i sleep in the middle.. has any other single people got any curious habits they would find difficult to give up?
Im not single, but when i was, i was a wild sleeper.
There were times i would somehow end up on the floor on the other
side of my bedroom, not remembering how i got there.
Your habit isint so bad, all those pillows sounds pretty
comfy.

this guy is currently undergoing bible study and before his critical thinking capabilities were utterly destroyed, he seemed to do a bit of research on wtbts on the internet, where he contacted me regarding rand cam shares owned by the wt.
i was happy to answer his questions and gave him some bonus material on the united nation's deal.
some days latter, he wrote back asking me if i considered the jw doctrine to be a cult, so i indulged him and sent him well written documents i found on freeminds.org as well a link to quotes, where he seemed to have spent some time looking at the armageddon picture gallery.
Those picture were creepy, to say the least.
How can anybody think they are alluring.
Growing up with seeing those images, i wonder
how i am still sane.

a few of you may remember when i came to this site back in sept. i was seeking advice about my bf who had been studying with jw.
well i hate to say it but they won.
after being together almost 2yrs we broke up.
Meg,
I am so sorry for your relationship breaking up. Dont blame
yourself, its not your fault!
This org has broken up so many familes and relationships,
you are not alone, sad to say.
Good luck to you!

Thanks for the info..
I beleive in natural healing remedies first,
so many un-natural chemicals in your body can
make you toxic and even more sick than when you
started.
Do you know what to do for headaches?
