  Lecithin?.....

  does anyone remember the brouhaha over lecithin in candies and other food items?

  i remember one sister writing to all the manufacturers of these products to inquire whether or not the lecithin was from a blood source.

  there were even lists of products to avoid that were circulated in the congregation.

  I take Lecithin and my JW parents still take Lecithin. I do somewhat remember that list, that was long time ago. Maybe someone on the board does still have that list.

  If the cashier make a mistake giving you extra hundred bucks, you should not feel guilty about it. It is the cashier's fault and it is not your fault!

  If I find a wallet with a name, I will return it.

  If I find money with no name, I will keep it!

  I have found a purse in the cart at the Grocery Store Parking Lot, I never opened the purse, I just returned it to the Customer Service.

  Anyone else serve as a juror ?

  just finished jury duty today, what a pain in the behind.. now i can't sleep, keep thinking about everything.. judicial system seems like a big bueracratic waste of money.. i found the oaths here in pa interesting though :.

  the oath is part of centuries-old language still in use in most courtrooms.

  pennsylvania's oath is derived from colonial laws of the commonwealth, enacted in 1772, and reads: "you [and each of you] do swear by almighty god, the searcher of all hearts, that the evidence you shall give this court [and jury] in this issue now being tried shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth and as you shall answer to god on the last great day.".

  If there were no boundaries, where would you like to live?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  no boundaries, but still differenet speaking languages, and different looking people and different customs, but no boundaries so you could find work anywhere and have the same privileges than you would have in your own country.. i'd definitely move where it's warmer.

  that wouldn't be hard to find.... .

  I would like to live in Middle of Florida, but way south. I would not want to be closer to the ocean due to the hurricane evacuations. I have lived near the Ocean in the past and it is way too much trouble to board things up before each hurricane.

  Pathetic Speakers

  by Alpaca in

  this is great.

  i was suffering through an interminably long sunday p.m. public talk (we flip-flopped w/ the other cong--at least sunday a.m. was a little more tolerable because there was still some of the day left to do something).

  the speaker was talking about "physical training being beneficial for a little" and how some exercise was necessary.

  There was one elder that is very determined that I do not date any sisters even though I was scripturally free to remarry. I have never told you this, my ex wife was disfellowshipped in 1998. One time, I was talking to a sister in the circuit assembly, she is okay, but that elder counseled me about it. I told him that I am not really interested in that sister, he backed off.
