cus i told him to!
har!!.
people sometimes wonder why, if i created puny humans in my image, i don't have a sense of humor in the bible.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
...to prove to the armadillo that it could be done. (Texas humor)
Robbie... wipe your chin. You're drooling all over the board again, thinking about everybody but you getting turned into hamburger.
Jehovah, in fact, says that he is going to laugh at you and ridicule you
Gotta love a God who ridicules people. I mean, it makes him so... so... human!

finally, after almost a month, i get a response from my mother about the un.
for those who didnt see her original letter and my response, just click on the sheet of paper icon in my profile and you can catch up on this.. i will place my comments in italics and names will be replaced in parentheses.. .
dear ranchette,.
I'm sorry things have gone this way, Ranchette. I'm sure you must have had hopes, perhaps against all hope, that this blatant hypocrisy and deceit on their part would open your mom's eyes and restore her to you. I often long to have my own son, whom I raised as a witness, restored to me as a seeing, understanding, reasoning adult. However, every time we get together, he makes comments that are so blind, so unquestioningly accepting of society drivel, that I know I cannot try to show him the truth and run the risk of having him react defensively and shun me. It is left to others to reach him; I won't try. This is the only hold that horrible religion has on me, but it remains a strong enough one to still yet reach out to control my behavior, at least regarding my son.
It isn't about who's right and who's wrong. It isn't about who can get the upper hand, who can win the most points in an argument. It isn't about emotional oneupmanship. It's about reclaiming your family members. I understand, and mourn with you.

i'd like to find out how many years collectively we have acquired in the wts.
please list how many years you were/have been a jw.
please also list how many years you have been out.
In at age 22: stayed in for 11 years.
Out 14 years. The first seven were pure hell; the last seven have been the best years of my life.

it is not a new revelation to see the striking and overwhelming parallels between the wts, its modus operandi and the legalistic leanings of the rabbis of ancient israel.
these interpreters of the law, developed rabbinical prisons enclosed by walls of complex rules and regulations by which they held power over their adherents.
note how the wts explains their actions :the decisions of the rabbis quoted in the mishnah would affect the day-to-day lives of jews everywhere.
To Whom Do We Belong
Ourselves, podno mio. Each of us belongs to him/herself.
Sadly, lots of folks choose to give ownership of themselves away... but that's their personal choice.

from most of the topics and replies i have come to believe that most everyone here still believes in god and jesus and the bible.
recently on a thread i've been on i've discovered many do not.
i want to know what mommie dark and others believe on the subject of creation and jesus.
The Old Testament told of his birth, death, and resurrection. Some of these things are totally factual
It's good that you realize some of them are not. Fasten your seatbelt and keep an open mind.

Oh, oh... oh dear me, I'm scared... so scared! ("How scared are you?" "'Just shit my pants' scared") I've been a bad, bad boy. I stole cookies. I cheated on school tests. I even lied to my own mommy. And once a checker gave me a nickel too much change back, and I figured it out, and I didn't take the nickel back. I've said "Goh" and "Shucks" and "Jeez" and "Crap" and "Dookey." I have looked at women with lust in my pants (heart, too) and I have desired televisions and Miatas and Harley Davidsons and two gig of RAM in a quad processor. I have read Mad Magazine, and Playboy too.
Don't kill me lawd!
Repentant COMF, wearing sackcloth and ash (kiss-my variety)
from what i understand the wtbts is not affiliated with the un but the dpi (department of public information).
if i am right... you all are the morons.
if i am wrong the i am the moron.
Anyone who was ever a JW knows the WBTS is not part of the UN.
My god, you're stupid.
if you dont agree with the senoir posters,they attack instead of being open minded.
Openmindedness as demonstrated by you in the quoted sentence above, right?
Sometimes there's just no point in reasoning with them.
COMF... wondering who forced the WBTS to "register for the draft" with the UN
from what i understand the wtbts is not affiliated with the un but the dpi (department of public information).
if i am right... you all are the morons.
if i am wrong the i am the moron.
I didn't see a need to go over all the legistics
Well, there's the answer to your title question.

i've read an article or two where it speaks about the need to use a colon cleanser between 2-4 times a year.
so what i'm trying to do is find which is the best one to use.
any suggestions?
I've read some information more than once where it mentions that the average person carries a certain amount of waste matter in their colon tract.
No! Who'da thunk it?
