Any chemists or dental hygenists here? I have a tooth/CO2 question...

by Kudra in

jw

.

could drinking a lot of carbonated water rot your teeth?.

this question has nothing to do with sugar.. this carbonated water has no sugar but i know that co2 in water is slightly acidic (like rainwater but more so) and that rainwater dissolves limestone caves... so on a much lesser scale could carbonated water do damage to your teeth which are made of calcium...?.

Kudra

hah! everything seems so acidic...

Thank you SO much for asking...

you must have good teef.

Inability to take hints

when people would say, "i don't understand your beliefs on dfing," or, "i don't understand your beliefs on the end times calculations," (even after these were explained)....i used to think i'm just smarter than them.. now i realize they comprehended it just fine but were trying to say, "i don't agree with you," in a softer way.when people would say, "i'm too busy to talk to you right now," i thought that was an invitation to return.. now i realize they were trying to say, "please go away and don't come back," in a softer way.

Kudra

hah, rebel8- hadn't thought about that... "conversation stoppers"! Yes, the householder IS trying to STOP the conversation. as in they really just don't want to talk to JWs!

I certainly had more than my fair share of NOT getting the point that the HH just wanted me the hell off of their porch...

Wish I were Catholic so I could do Mea Culpas... or self-flagellate...

Very cool Jadeen! Sounds superr interesting.

I got such flack for doing even a community college degree... I was like, "but it will help me to be able to support myself to pioneer without having a husband."

BARF.

Apostacloset: BIG NO NO!

by White Dove in

i made a mistake when talking to a df'd person i used to know in my old congregation.

she was super pioneer at the time, and i just found her on fb and found out she's df'd.

i used the word "apostacloset" when explaining that i'll come out of it when the time's right.

Kudra

Hah! I like the ads your post generated.

"Easy closets: Create your own space."

You could make your own aposta-closet: containing assembly-protesting placards, shit-kickin' boots, rain coat for repelling the piss-poor excuse for beliefs that the JWs rain down on you... etc.
