i am terrified to be writing this because i am officially being bad.
i am talking with other "sinners".
i do not want to be a witness.
Hopefully you will be almost recovered when you stop visitng this site. The sign that you are healing is the less and less this all matters to you.
Just think of it as any relationship that has gone wrong. The less you need to think of it the better you are doing. You may find that at first you cant stop visiting this site. But as this becomes less of an issue to you the less you will need the support of this site. In the mean time welcome and speedy recovery!
so here's the deal and question...... .
about 9 years ago i had pain so bad it sent me to emergency to find out what was going on...needless to say they admitted me to find out what was going on because i had pain like this 3 times before but did not go to the hospital...i ended up going to the or to have my gall bladder removed and remained in the hospital for a total of 11 days....when all was said and done they said i was curred now and would never experince that kind of pain again... ( i was eating kfc when the pain started.
since then i have not touched the stuff) .
Hi there.
I have a word of advice. If your Gall Ballader has stones or is giving you problems I would probably have it removed.
My mother had three cesareans births so understanbly the last thing she wanted, was to go under the knife another time. She complaind about her Gall Bladder for over 30 years. She tried all kinds of homeopathic cures, remedies and medications to no avail. Her problem seemed to be something annoying she decided to live with. On June 2nd 1997 she went to the hospital with a terrible pain in her abodomen and she was urinating a very dark color, her skin turned yellow. Two days later we got the news that she got Gall Bladder Cancer! They said that there was nothing they could do for her the cancer had spread all around her intestins and other parts of her body. They referred us to hospice and said her days were short. She passed away July 9th 1997. With the short time left I took her to Mexico City to visit our relatives and to look for some alterntive medical cure. There was nothing that could help. Her health started to go down hill quickly, we got on a plane back to the States and she died on my arms 5 minutes before the pilot could land the plane.
If she had had her Gall Bladder removed years earlyer her Gall Bladder could not have gotten Cancer.
My mother left the JWs six months after my sister and I left. We were just starting to expirence a closer relationship than we had ever had being in the Org. She was starting to celebrate life. We had one Christmas, we were able to each have one Birthday, Give her one Mother's day and then she died.
No one, from the 30 yrs in the org. went to her funeral. I had to get in an argument with my dad for him to go. My brother wore shorts to her funeral My dad wore a wrinkled guayavera shirt.Its disgusting to know how many suits they have to wear to their meetings every week and this one instance when we all show up for our last respects to mom the absolutley no respect for the life she shared with them. They both (father and brother) and my brothers childern walked out when the Pastor started to talk about her new beliefs and how she was absent from the body but present with the Lord.
I feel that the Watchtower is also a type of Cancer. A Cancer that destorys family bonds.
will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things.
3)what will be the sign of the conclusion of the system of things?.
question 2-what will be the sign of your presence?.
What about the other signs and things they wanted to know that imply a second application to the End of the System of things. For instnace, when was Jesus suppose to return or come? Was his second comming after the end of the Jewish system of things? Or are we still waiting for his second comming?
ok, this has probably been discussed before, but, how many here have tried the atkins diet?
did you have a good/bad experience with this diet.
the reason i ask is because i went to my doctor and my bp is way up.
Here is a link to a low carb site. I lost 50 lbs on the Atkins Diet. and have kept it off for 3 yrs.

BlueSapphire;
What you're getting is a taste of the class war that is going on in this country.
Corporate greed will stop at nothing.
You're lucky that he is still employed. Many corporations are sending their plants abroad, leaving countless unemployed.
The working class is becoming more and more marginalized. Corporations are getting rich off of the working class and they will exploit with their power. That is a reason there is no longer labor unions or a Labor Party representing the rights of the workers.
The less voice the masses have the better for the few wealthy elite. The people in this board are nowhwere close to being in this class yet they speak in behalf of the interest of these Consciensless Greedy Corporations. More and more it is becoming a transnational corporate world where these corporations will no longer have to abide by our needs, intrests, or regulations.
It will be a one world governed by the wealthiest corporations in the world.

Because their weapons are controlled by relatively sane and rational governments. Really now are you saying that the US having nukes is just as bad as Saddam having them?
Tell me how many countries are under the US colonialism. Just about all the third world. All these countries feel threatened. This question should be addressed not only to ourselves but to others in this world community.
The US having nukes is not as bad to us as Saddam having them.
The US having nukes is viewed as more of a threat to other third world countries than Saddam having them.
What is the prurpose of having all these weapons if not to be viewed as a threat?
The U S has the most so they are the most threatening.

O.K.
At least you agree that the war against terrorism is just a pretext to go after the oil we need.
The reason for going to war is so that the cost of oil will remain low. We will be killing for our freedom to keep low gas prices. Thats whats really happening. I dont want to pay high prices for gas either.
So lets go steal it from the Iraqies. Thats the history of the US they steal anything they can get their hands on. How many treaties did the US Gov. not reneg on with the Indians. Its what they are doing now they are calling the kettle black by saying that they are not disarming and yet they are doing the same thing. Would it be right for someone to threaten us with an attack because we are not disarming as we promised?
Going to war with Iraq will only add more grudges to these terrorists who already hate us.
We need to see why they hate us and find a way to not continue with the foreing policies that promote this hate.

A quick look at the US's own policies on weapons of mass destruction (WMD) quickly dispels their argument for using WMD as a determining factor for a war with Iraq.
As a signer of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the US has a legal obligation to reduce it's nuclear arsenal, stop nuclear testing, and negotiate a binding a treaty on nuclear disarmament under strict international control. However, the current US administration is increasing its budget to build nuclear weapons, scrapping existing disarmament treaties, and restarting nuclear tests.
One of the first acts of the Bush administration was to slash funding for programs safeguarding and destroying nuclear weapons and materials in the countries of the former Soviet Union almost 21 percent while increasing nuclear weapons funding by almost 5 percent.
The Bush administration's prevalent tendency to ignore, abandon, or destroy international treaties is especially evident with regard to arms-limitation agreements:
-- In December 2001, President Bush torpedoed talks to give the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) real force. A last minute refusal after five years of negotiations infuriated negotiating countries.
-- At the NPT review conference in 2000, the US and the other signatories agreed to end nuclear weapons testing by bringing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty into force as the first of 13 specific disarmament commitments. Shortly thereafter, the US Senate announced disapproval of the treaty. Last year the US said it no longer agreed with the additional commitments, putting the Non-Proliferation Treaty's future in jeopardy.
-- The Bush administration has also reneged on an additional commitment to strengthen the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty by pursuing its Star Wars missile defence programme. The programme is one of the primary reasons that international talks to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction have not progressed for the last three years. It also provides an excuse for other nations to improve and increase their nuclear arsenals.
Overall, Bush's weapons of mass destruction policy is arbitrary, hypocritical, and inconsistent. The world desperately needs a multinational and fair approach to the elimination of weapons of mass destruction. A war with Iraq will only serve to strengthen the existing hypocrisy.
