  What's your favourite food style?

  by kwintestal in

  2. friends

  i've been really into indian lately myself, but went to a decent jamacian restaurant the other day.. the reason i'm asking is because my wife and i decided that once a week we're going to try making something totally different together, kind of a way to spend time together and at the same time eating awesome food (if it turns out) other then going to a restaurant.

  i'm kind of looking for different ideas of what to make.. kwin.

  I love Greek food - lots lof lemon, mint and garlic to marinate.

  Morroccan too - cumin, apricots and nuts with couscous - delicious.

  Want to share an example of chronic pain from real life

  An individual I know who suffers from chronic pain - that only responds partially to the strongest painkillers - is able to endure the pain as a background thing when in a relaxed state. This person when experiencing 'natural' peace and equanimity is able to rise above the pain.

  She is forced to do this because she is now unable to take painkillers as they cause abodominal pain and nausea.

  Don't know if the above is relevant to the discussion.

  Is there ANY doctrines of the JWS that you appreciate?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many remarks seem to in indicate they have no redeeming believes......................i can't agree.. i appreciate lots a things about the way i was raised.. 1. pacifism, nonviolence.

  sad even though i was a pacifist, my god jehovah was an angry pissed off god who one day wants to kill most everyone...............guess he (her) needs to practice what he (her) preaches.........anyway i'm so happy that they taught me something even their god is having a hard time with!.

  2.and most important......................................well i can't remember right now......but when it comes to me, i'll let you know.. newboy.

  our friend hambeak just got the most dreaded phone call from his jw child.

  the news was passed on as he was asked for by name and not as"dad" and let known that "they" just called to let him know that his other son, brian, age 26, is dead.

  he was in a car accident.

  30 XJWs Attending A Kingdom WT Bedlam Study?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking what it would be like for 20 or 30 xjws to attend a wt study and the havoc they would cause.

  here the senerio; they all attend where nobody knows them and do not say anything that would let the jws know they are xs, (of course the would catch on eventually).

  they would not all sit together but spread out.

  danger of it backfiring - they may see it as persecution and become even more convinced (if that's possible) that they have the truth.
