another international slate of scientists have released their findings regarding global climate change and human's effect on that (see the above link).. after the last major study released by several hundred scientists a few months ago, it does seem there is a serious concensus here among the leading thinkers and scientists on this issue.
i know i've banged heads with a few who disagree with this, but it does seem as though that handful of folks who disagree with the science are looking more and more like deniers, as in holocaust deniers, moon landing deniers, etc.. in other words, out there on the lunatic fringe.. so, do you folks think it might be time to reconsider?.
Given the fact that erupting volcanoes pump thousands of tons of "greenhouse gases" into the atmosphere then nature allready knows how to deal with it. The earth and atmosphere does have compensatory mechanisms that keep everything in check. The earth has been doing this long before humans and animals were here.
Then maybe we should start pluging up those dirty nasty CO2 emitting volcanoes. After all mother nature would be at a complete loss how to keep everything balanced without us.
...what kind of thread topic produces the longest threads?.
what interests you, and are you put off once the thread reaches ten pages??.
lt, of the "starting a minimus-style thread" class.
I am pretty much tired of the global warming threads. It has been beat to death many times over so I skip them. I do not even bother looking at the politics thread anymore.
Any thread that unites and empowers us can never be too lengthy. Those are the ones that probably enlightens the active JW lurkers the most.
i'm not talking just about being blanked by old friends and family or having people distancing themselves from you - i'm on about what the organization did to us.
the days when so many of us didn't want to carry on and couldn't possibly or when there didn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel.. i feel better now but i still have my bad days - i cant believe the society get to walk away from the chaos they create.
they have blood on their hands!.
The way in which religion is in the crosshairs now it may not be too much longer before that changes. We are allready seeing it with the Catholic Church and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
By posting all of our horrible experiences here on a public forum we are starting the ball rolling.
I doubt the WTBTS ever considered many years ago the vast reaching power of the internet. To have thousands of ex JW's together telling our stories and experiences for the whole world to see can be nothing short of a nightmare for the WTBTS.
My fade would have been hundreds of times easier if I had the resources that we now have here on JWD. Sunlight is always the best sanitizer. We know that there are alot of active JW's lurking here. They can't help but to notice that most of us are happy, healthy and successful.
ok so now im more confused than ever.................... i have found out information that says you should eat 1gram of protein to every lb you weigh...............ok i can do that , i thought.
4oz--100gram chicken breast, thats not a lot, but that is not how its calculated .
100 grams of chicken is only 14 g protein.. so if i ate only chicken for a day say 10oz--300 gram................= 1,120 calories ( my limit ) its only 42 grams of protein.. can anyone explain it, have i got it wrong .
People with type O blood will do better on high protien/low carb diets. My wife and I both lost weight on it and felt better. People get into trouble when they do not drink enough water and take the right supplements while doing it. People with A and AB blood types can actually gain weight from it.
The blood type diet is by far the best info I have read and practiced for health and weight management. We are all different and blood type plays a major role in how our metabolism and digestion takes place. Ever wonder why some people can eat beans w/o producing any toxic emmisions and others can't? Blood type. It is a facinating book and you will get alot of revelations about yourself as you read it.
A friend of mine is a naturepath and the blood type diet is actually part of the training at Bastyr University.
hi guys, i'm asking for your support as i face a frightful event...back surgery.
excrutiating pain for about 6 weeks due to the l2-3 herniation.
i have had problems only since.
I would be a bit concerned that your orthopedic doc has not tried a steroid epidural just for some temp relief until surgery. If and when they work it is nothing short of a miracle. In my case it was less then eight hours afterwards and almost complete relief within ten days.
another thing i hate.... .

I own two trucks and I have never had any reason to hang a "yam bag" on either of them. Now the naked lady mud flaps are an entirely different story.
ann arbor, mi the thomas more law center, a national public interest law firm based .
in ann arbor, michigan, has submitted a friend of the court brief supporting the right of .
physicians to refuse to perform medical procedures that violate their sincerely held religious .
In non emergent/life threatening conditions a health care provider can refuse treatment. The doctors most likely made the mistake of stating WHY they did not want to. It appears that both side were doing some "grandstanding" and chose to make an issue out of it.
Discretion is always the better part of valor. When an issue ends up in court it is irrelavant who wins or loses, both parties lose alot of money.
I had a situation as a licensed massage therapist where a lady with incontinance kept pissing on my table. She never learned how to handle this problems like anyone else would. It came to the point that I flat out was not going to treat her any longer. So I advised her to that it would be best to go elswhere. The key point is to not say why, that would open the door to legal problems.
These gentlemen had doctorate degrees and they knew the ramifications of what they did and what would happen. We all make the beds we end up sleeping in.

If you have never had chronic low back pain then there is no way to describe it. You get to the point that even surgery with mixed odds is a risk worth taking. The decision is not taken lightly by the ortho and certainly the patient. When a disk herniation gets bad there are really no conservative fixes available.
I only have stage one disk degeneration and osteo arthritis and the pain is unbearable on many days. I can not imagine the pain from a herniation. On top of the pain there are other problems with having severe inflammation going on around the nerve branches. When it gets to that stage you have two options, surgery or suicide.
In my case a spinal epidural steroid injection got rid of 95% of the pain so that I can devote a full hour a day to extension exercises and mountain biking to reduce some weight. To assist the disk material to start regenerating I am doing high dose amino acids. So far my finger nails are growing like mad so that is a good indicator.
I really hope it goes well for you and you get some relief. Keep us posted and have a goal set for what you really want to get back into or do afterwards. Frame of mind and attitude plays a very important role in recovery.
Best wishes!!!!!!!
well, as per usual, the memorial talk bored the hell out of me, but i found it, in one way to be an improvement over last years when they had the most boring speaker on the planet there http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/111544/1.ashx this guy at least knew how to speak.
unfortunately, he didn't have much of a script to work with.. there was the mention of adam sinning and mankind needing a redeemer etc., no mention of when the israelites left egypt though.
that's probably the first year i've ever seen where this hasn't been mentioned.
You mean last night was the memorial? I guess I missed it, just like the last 22 that I also forgot about. DAM!!! They were always such hoot to go to.
enjoy.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8zcz-eabi8.

If nothing else they get to see that ex JW's are alive, well and very happy. It completely destroys what they teach that we are "dead" and miserable. Someone who is on the way out needs to see healthy happy ex JW's to be reassured that there is life after the Borg. A very good life I might add!
