It's great we have another "scholar" on the boards these days. Pretty soon we'll all be wearing tin foil hats and blathering on like a Dr. Bronner's soap bottle.

Does your body have a stress reaction?
by Gregor ini suppose mine is not uncommon (see below) but i have noticed it again of late and cannot deny the connection to excessively stressful events in my life.
i involuntarily keep my jaw clinched and within a day or so i get a piercing pain in my jaw up by my ear.
anyone have a cure for this?

If Vodka and xanax make you unclench your jaw, that seems to prove that you need to learn how to relax. Preferrably without depressants.
I have trouble relaxing as well, and get rushed with adrenaline easily. I blame it on my work and where I live. but I know better, that it has more to do with my own thought processes.
So far, the biggest thing that has helped me to reduce my anxiety is exercise or strenuous physical activity, like hiking and being out in the mountains/woods.

Ive never seen it as bringing someone from the world as a Jehovahs witness, Ive just always wanted to help people get to know Jehovah and have a relationship with him. It's hard to be in a congregation, and it get harder and harder the closer to the end we get, but it still has its good points. There are lots of good, loving bro's and sister's, and I love playing around with the kids....We often have kiddy get togethers.great fun :)
Yes. It's all good if you have the mental capacity of a child and can't think for yourself.

They could all just kill themselves and then there would be zero risk of offending each other.

Why do people follow me on Twitter... even though I never tweet anything?
by Elsewhere inabout six months ago i setup a twitter account.
i posted a few tweets here and there and then got bored of it and stopped.. dispite the fact that i never tweet anything, every few days i get an email notice stating that another person has started following me.. why?
can anyone think of any reason why people would want to follow someone wo never tweets?.

I think 99% of the people using Twitter use it for the most mundane purposes, while the other 1% actually have something worth following, like civil unrest in their homeland.
The more time I spend in or around "social networking" sites, the more I relize they are anything but. More like "social devaluing" sites. You want social activities and meaning in your life? Get out in the real fucking world. Ironically, the people who have the most to say on Twitter or Facebook are those actually doing stuff in the real world.

Proof the GB does not really believe the end is comming.....
by Albert Einstein inif you were a leader of a small group that should survive a worldwide disaster and will be left on their own, not being able to use now common services would you:.
a) encourage your members to learn all possible skills and to get all possible today available education, maybe even organized "who will learn what" to cover really every aspect of future life and to be really prepared ..... or.
b) discurage your members from education, letting them just sit home or at meetings and keep repeating: "the end is comming, the end is comming ... be ready, the end is comming...".

This was one of the things that initially got me thinking "independently." Through my undergraduate education, I came to realize just how complex today's society is, with all the components that make for a thriving community. The Society portrays the New System™ in vague, obscure terms, glossing over many important details.
Even a simple agrarian society depends on demand for goods and specialized trades. The economic and administrative institutions you would need for that simply don't exist in the Society's La-La Land.
