Melatonin works well for me.... If my allergies are bad (always in Houston)then two Benadryl do the trick.

Ironically enough... the Awake always put me to sleep!

well.........here i am, a few pints of guinness further on and it got me thinking.. i luuurve guinness with a passion but what could i never give up in a month of sundays?.

hmmmmmm...well it's definitely not alcohol....i don't think .

for me, it's my music, my george lowden guitar (damn i've blown my cover) and all the amazing vibes that playing, singing and songwriting gives me.. what could you not give up...........in a month of sundays.. peace.

The (newly found) personal relationship with God for the old subordinate relationship with His (self-proclaimed) discreet slave.... I think I could survive without everything else.

http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/profiles/listalpha.htm my hubby and i are thinking of going to a church.....it is about the right time for us.

we were trying to figure out which religion is suited for us and he found this site.

it is interesting that the description an jw's say that it is unusual that when people leave them....there is alot of resentment, unlike other religions.. i think it is due to the brainwashing....when you have believed something blindly, then discover you were decieved...it is worse than if you are a part of a religion where you can believe all they teach...or not.

butters here,.

just wanted to ask a few questions about free thinkers.

how many of you feel you are truly a free thinker, not involved in some sort of group that has capes and drapes, or a "label"?

Hey Butters,
I have a delima...
If I agree with everything that you said.... does that mean I'm a "free-thinker" too?

please correct me if i'm wrong.... .

isn't the wtbts's stance on apostacy defined as a member who denounces the authority of one of god's holy spirit inspired spokesmen?

if so, when paul and barnabas had the argument over taking mark on a mission trip.... which one was apostate?

My jaw is on my lap.... All I can say is, "Holy Crap!"
