  "Whatever."

  by bebu in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a few minutes back, a middle-aged woman and a young teenage girl were on my doorstep.

  the new tract was being delivered!

  i looked thru the screen door at it and said i did not want it, as i already knew what it might contain.

  Thats quite true bizzy bee,
  when we think about it in depth it shows that the buddhists had not faith in their god/s otherwise there would have been no necessity to form gangs of "triads" to knock the stuffing out of people for material gain.

  Bizybee,
  "h, my. Millions of Buddhists and Taoists would not agree.
  To qualify as a religion, it is only necessary to subscribe to a system of communally shared beliefs and rituals that are oriented toward a sacred, supernatural realm. We tend to focus on those that are at the forefront of controversy and politics because of their extremism. While the two largest world religions, Christianity and Islam, were spead largely through conquest, that leaves many, many belief systems that are peaceful and peace-loving."
  
  i really suggest you check the history of Shaolin monks,they are buddhists - peaceful i think not, after receiving the breathing arts from india they formed them into fighting arts by mimmicking animals / insects (a gift apparently given by their gods ) .These were not self defence kata/forms as many presume. Take a look at Hung Gar san sao ( first form of tiger fist ) sheer violence no self defence whatsoever, formed after the burning of the monastry when the group of three became what is modernly known as the Triads, they taught this as a quick form of pugilism simply to pummel the victim into submission.

  All religion has evil elements,
  God never wanted men to have leaders religious or otherwise,the bible also says "all brothers are equal" youd be hard struck to find a religion where this actually reigns true, even if they claim so, for if all were equal why should any one of them have a title, elder / priest etc.

  this is my first post here ever.

  i was hoping some may be able to tell me the author(s) of any of the watchtower books - especially those from the last couple of decades.

  if you can back it up with anything, that'd be great, too.. thanks..

  a co-worker says she's been having panic attacks lately and is quite concerned about them.. she was given a prescription for atarax to use 'as needed' but it didn't help any.. i wonder if anyone here has had - or knows someone who has had - these sort of attacks.. what sort of symptoms were experienced?

  what treatment worked??

  Hi,
  I have suffered severly with them recently, however at the moment i am over them.They are very disturbing especially if they grow and become more aggresive, which can seem to be a cycle.You get the first couple then you think there is something wrong with you, your system is under constant stress and ever more likely to suffer yet another attack.Is she hyperventilating with them yet????? thats even worse, because your body eventually becomes wracked with pains ( usually in the chest area ) so you start to believe your having a heart attack.
  
  The brown paper bag is used by many to calm the breathing and recover the breath.
  A classic sign she is becoming stressed is to watch the shoulders ( if they are raised upwards - she is/becoming stressed ) she then needs to relax completely let the shoulders drop and concentrate on her breathing.
  I know its sounds odd but also tell her to ensure she eats a small snack every few hours, as blood sugar can have a huge effect of panic attacks and anxiety.
  
  i have a list of phone numbers here which i will post later
  God bless you and yours

  (ps: there is a book on ebay that is supposed to be excellent - i'll find the name for you )

  Thats true littletoe,
  but you cant judge everyone by the majority, just like there are genuine witnesses who want to serve God.its just a shame for the genuine ones who never find a way out.
