i found that the article on 'young popele ask....do i have an eating disorder?
' in the awake magazine for october 2006 to have worrying advice in it.. apparantly the answer to this problem, according to the wtbts is prayer!
how did psychiatrists miss this for so long?.
I have come to believe that prayer is total bulls**t!!
Some people think it works but they are only mistaking 'accomplishing things through mental focus' for a deity answering their pleadings.
Recommending prayer as part of the treatment for eating disorders is patently farcical and cuckoo!!
If there IS a god answering prayers, then his/her criteria for doing so was probably arrived at at 3 o'clock in the morning, after his/her 15th spliff.

first in april - i get a call from two elder's trying to set up a meeting i assume [ i told them not interested in speaking to them and hung up ] some may recall that thread.. then last month - two more show up at the house, and wifey ignores them at the door.
[i am at work].
tonight - 'brother t' calls on the phone and asks for me.
You Jeff, are a particularly eloquent man.
Brilliant letter!

After reading that virulently twisted diatribe i feel positively normal and sane.
By the way Crumpet, your comment about pulling abusive women, though maybe 'off the cuff', is right on the money IMO.

being from canada and still "active", i always wonder whether i know other canadians on this board.
trust me, some of you would know my family.. however, still being "active", i guess i'll have to wait to see some day.. anyone else same deal?.
Personally i hope people do or have recognised me and my avatar!
Like Gary says about the lurkers, I hope they read the things i write and that others write and hope it opens their pathetically fossilised minds. I am free....you are not. I am emancipated....you are trapped serving an American publishing company.
To that i add that when you walk past me in the street i think NOTHING of you, because you are hypocrites of the highest order.
If i carry on i may start naming names, so i shall stop right..........here.

a thought popped into my head today.
remember how inside the congregation we were taught that we should our love our brothers so much that we would die for them?.
now why were taught to trust and love our brothers and sisters so much mush that we would do that for them?.
No, not in a religious context anyway, which is what Jesus was meaning when he came out with the "....that he should surrender is soul in behalf of his brothers" line. I'm not keen on Jesus nowadays.

has your child raising or discipline tatics changed since your out of the borg?
i always thought that i would use spanking as a discipline.
since supposedly the bible encourages it.
Hello B is Free
Some parents make the decision NEVER to administer physical punishment to their children and it seems to becoming a common way of thinking in the Western World.
This is my opinion having brought up 3 boys (now aged 14, 16, 18). Each child is different and responds to different types of discipline.
Now i think that smacking/spanking IS an acceptable form of discipline but it has to be used in moderation and cool-headed context.
I all too often see parents nowadays being absolutely RULED by their kids, it's pathetic. It's currently happening to my friend.
My final thought is this; Consistency, don't bend to their pressure when you as an adult KNOW your discipline is for your childs' good.

did mankind start with a single set of parents?

For me it's ancient Jewish FICTION.
The original sin scenario is sick beyond comprehension.
If it was true, then god's handiwork is a poor effort. Then Cain, who's almost perfect goes and smashes his brothers skull in?!?!? Bloody Hell Fire!! God!! Yer SACKED!!
I may do things wrong but i'm NOT this 'constantly failing sinner'.

now in my part of the world (lancashire) there's lots and lots of sheep!!
they look lovely mooching around in the grass and moorland totally oblivious to what's going on around them.. until they stand in the road in the path of your car.......licking the tarmac!!.
Yeah FoDN, alot of us were 'licking the TARMAC'.
I know i did, for 15 years.
It wasn't a pointless 15 years but thanks be to......oh i don't know....the great benevolent UNIVERSE, that i heard the 'car horn'.
