DrWatson....My fault for not editing and proofreading before I hit submit. What I MEANT to say the article was correct. I agree that there is no connection between autism and vaccination. Sorry for any confusion.

From my experience, the article is incorrect.
I have a 23 year old Autistic Son. Vaccinated same time as my Daughter. One autistic, one not.
Believe me, when my Son was small, very few people even knew what Autism was. That is, until the Movie Rain Man came out, then all of a sudden everyone was an expert.

Guilt trip on R&F if you don't preach
by bobld inthere is a certain feeling in the air,that you must preach and to knock on doors.they like to as an example,if you know that there's a tornado or some bad weather is coming and you don't say anything or warn the people,you bear resonsibility for the lives lost.the wbts looks at it the same way.thus the gulit trip for not going from door to door.. now this is about as stupid as a queer in a whorehouse.the gb of the wbts should be guilty of not warning the people,by modern technology methods.they should be using,t.v.,radio,internet,satellite etc.not this bull dung of going from door to door.how would they like it if a tornado hit their new printery in wallkill,n.y.
and the government sent troops form door to door to warn their volunteer workers.how about their properties in brooklyn,n.y.
so don't give me this guilt story of preaching from door to door as the most effective.just look at the history of how many people lost their lives in the past due to tornados because they did not have the modern technology of warning people as compared to today.get off you high horse and if you think your message is so important to warn people than use the proper methods.. bob.

Effects, side effects, and withdrawals from Effexor.
by El Kabong inseveral years ago, my doctor prescribed effexor to help combat mild depression.
they started me on a small dose and gradually increased it to 150mg per day.. i'm not sure i can honestly say that the drug helped me in any way shape or form.
what i do know is if i ever was late with a dose, my body had no problems telling me it was time to take the drug.

Several years ago, my Doctor prescribed effexor to help combat mild depression. They started me on a small dose and gradually increased it to 150mg per day.
I'm not sure I can honestly say that the drug helped me in any way shape or form. What I do know is if I ever was late with a dose, my body had no problems telling me it was time to take the drug. I would get "brain zaps", a sick to my stomach feeling, headache and a feeling of restlessness which woould only go away when I took the next dose. I would think that those feelings were a sign of depression and only the drug would help me feel that way.
While on the drug, my motivation for almost doing anything was gone. It sometimes felt like I was wearing cement shoes (on land...not in the water..LOL). Just felt like it was hard to move. My sex drive was decreasing, which I thought it was just a sign of middle age. In short, I felt like a Zombie.After doing some research, I find that the feelings I would get when being late or missing a dose is NOT uncommon in many people. In short, I started to feel like a drug addict. So, I was faced with the decision if I should continue taking this drug or not.
First thing I did, was, of course, talk to my Doctor. My Doctor advised me to decrease the dose for a few days and then stop. Actually, the drug manufacturer recommends this as well. But, after researching the withdrawal symptoms of this drug, this is not the best method for most people.
I decreased my dosage as My Doctor recommended, and within the first day, the Brain Zaps started. I would get several brain zaps per minute. What is a brain zap? It's kind of hard to describe. It's like a jolt of electricity shooting from one side of your brain to another. During a brain zap, it feels like you are losing your verigo as well and your vision kind of stutters. However, these feelings just firmed up my resolve to get off of this drug.
I then started opening up the 75mg capsules and dumping out several of the crystal beads inside of the capsules, decreasing the amount each day for about two weeks. 10 days ago I took my last capsule.
Even after 2 weeks of tapering, the withdrawal symptoms were awful. For the first couple of days after completely stopping this drug, I was a mess. Constant brain zaps, stomach aches, joint aches, one day my wrist would ache, the next, my arm, the next my knees. I then developed flu like symptoms. I am so glad I did my research because all of these symptoms are typical of those who taper off and get off of this drug. Just knowing that helped me get through the withdrawal symptoms knowing that there is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
Today is 10 days, and the light is getting brighter (where have I heard that one before...ha!!). The brain zaps are not a frequent or intense as it was. The flu like symptoms, body aches are gone. What I GOT in return was more energy, more motivation to do things again. Not saying I am at 100%, but I am getting there. The past 10 days have been an emotional roller coaster. In addition to the side effects I mentioned above, I was very quick to anger, more quicker that I should. Quick to bite someone's head off at just a stupid remark. Also, I would occasionally get crying spells. Now, I'm a grown man at 46 years old, I'm a Husband, Father, and now Grandfather of a very handsome 3 Month Old Grandson..(of course I have to slip that in there!!), and I'm having crying spells, for no reason? I was up early one morning, (oh yeah, insomnia is also a symptom), and was on You Tube, watching and listening to some Strauss Walzes by Andre Rieu, and found myself so moved by the music, I started blubbering like a baby. I feel it's because so many of my emotions were so supressed, they are trying to rush out all at once. (if that makes any sense).
Please note that I am NOT knocking this drug. I'm sure that this drug has helped many people. However, I do feel that this drug was overperscribed to too many people who really don't need a drug as powerful as this. The intent of this post is NOT TO TELL ANYBODY TO STOP TAKING THIS DRUG. Only your Doctor can tell you that.
There is a lot of useful information available just by googling Effexor Withdrawal Symptoms in case anybody is thinking of getting off this drug.
I know this was kind of long, Thanks for listening.

JW says shunning a personal decision
by blondie inorganization member tressa ballard, 62, left the jehovah's witnesses in 1990 and has since embraced evangelical christianity.
the colorado springs resident sometimes speaks at the meetings about how four of her five children who remained in the church refuse to talk to her since she left the faith.
"people can leave, but they will be shunned by family and friends," ballard said.. .

This Ringle guy must have been misquoted, right.
Either that or a very brazen liar.

Burning Question: Snacks at Kingdom Hall
by TreadClimberMaster ini have not been to a kingdom hall for years, about 6. i have been going to other churches, namely, unity, unitarian and tonight a jewish reform temple.
