Ice in Your Drink?
by Kenneson inafter reading the article entitled "fast food ice dirtier than toilet water.
seventh grader's science project turns up some disturbing results," you might have second thoughts about drinking anything with ice in it at restaurants, etc.
it's pretty disgusting, i think.

Not everyone's immune system is great. That is the problem. Elderly, children, people with other health problems--all are at serious risk when it comes to food poisoning.
True true.. I think all of us are in the habit to think about how the news affects us personally. Certianly someone with an immune disorder like chronic fatigue or Ebstieen (sp?)_ Bar would have to be more careful. Also the elderly and tykes.

Are children better off believing in some form of faith?
by FreedomFrog inas you know, my husband dave (aka almostatheist) is atheist.
my son came up to me last night and declared that he "doesn't" believe in any kind of higher power.
being eclectic pagan...this bothered me because i know for me, if i didn't have any kind of "faith", i'd be crushed.

Where do you get that "power". That motivation to go on?
I am "almost an atheist" myself. That power comes from me. I am directly responsible for everything that happens in my life. My attitude about what happens in my life, and how i choose to react. I also am rather unemotional i can choose which emotions i let affect me. I choose not to be afraid.

It always makes me cringe when i hear a young one talking about applying to bethel. This makes it more so. I know they won't be accepted. And they will think it's god's direction. It will crush them.

A little germs and dirt is good for you, builds your immune system up. I've never gotten sick from ice before and until i do i am not going to freak out about it. Also i have never washed the bowl of my pipe, just scraped away some cake. (makes it taste better) Also i have never washed my teapot. Makes the tea taste better.

Did you know of any "Reproved" JWs that were "shunned" as if they were DF'd
by booker-t ini remember years ago a "sister" (i'll call her "betty") had transferred into our congregation from another congo.
apparently she had been put on public reproof at her old hall.
but when she started attended my kh most of the witnesses there "shunned" her to the point when the presiding overseer had to make an annoucement to the congo that went like this "some of you friends are treating sister betty as if she is a disfellowshipped person.

Public reproof = a marking but someone could be marked without being on public reproof. If the elders decide that something someone is doing say drinking coffee is wrong and want to warn others about drinking coffee but can't find scriptual reason to punish them offically they can have a marking talk. Basicly a local needs talk on why drinking coffee is evil and why ascociating with someone who does would be equally evil. Of course everyone knows that Br. useshisgodgivenfreewill drinks coffee and they unoffically shun him.

Some people need faith and some do not. Children are just little people and shouldn't be manipulated. Present your arguements and let them decide. As others said they will eventually learn to question and doubt their own beliefes just like the rest of us..
From the MS with no children... :-)

Relationship dealbreakers
by serendipity in.
if you're single, what behavior(s) or actions by your partner would cause you to end a relationship, other than infidelity?
if you're married, what behavior(s) or actions by your spouse would cause you to seek a divorce, other than infidelity?

This is a hard question. Wife and I have always said that even for adultery we would have to consider the circumstances. A quick fling or long term emotional involvement? Also she is famous for saying that the only way I’ll get rid of her is murder. But I think if I saw that I was really making her unhappy I would leave. I am struggling with that now as she wants to be a faithful dub and I most certainly do not.

With the 3/4's the other 1/4 is German. So the joke was always, we have a really bad temper and we will shoot you right in the head. It was a joke though. I have never gotten into a fight. (except with my brother... the b@stard...)
