If you look for BMI calculators online find the ones that have seperate male and female calculators. BMI calculators also do not factor in ethnicity either so take that into consideration. A 5' 4" German male is not going to weigh the same as a 5' 4" Asian female.

Witness owns Flower Shop-advertises-sells birthday-holiday arrangements
by Thechickennest ini have been away from the organization long enough not to know how this family is allowed to sell and profit from selling birthday and holiday gifts.
as far as i am aware they are active jw's.
they do a lot of advertising on the internet specifically for all the holidays and birthdays that jw's are not supposed to be involved in to the best of my knowledge.

I remember the wife of an elder who had a cake decorating shop. Half of the display cakes were birthday cakes. I remember asking my mom why that was OK but having a party was not. Her reply "It's not actullay celebrating it" and mine was "but it's supporting it". Even then my observation was that it's raw hypocrisy.

What's Wrong With Children's Sports?
by compound complex ingreetings, friends:.
this weekend i helped a friend - a professional photographer - with his photo shoot of nearly 200 little leaguers.
i was apprehensive beforehand as the paperwork (my job) can easily go wrong and i hate crowds.. well, everything went well and i discovered two things: .

I am still curious how you managed to photograph 200 kids without experiencing a psychotic episode?

by LouBelle inso i was going through my bag, pulling out the pills and vitties i take every day and it amounts to quite a bit.. every day i have to take 3 medicated pills: ecotrin - thins the blood.

37 but only one med. I take the entire spectrum of minerals, antioxidants, superfoods, EFA's and vitamins. I can afford them, have no side affects and have had great health with only one exception. My game plan is to not get the same deficiency related problems the my parents and grandparents had to deal with at a very early age.
Health is one of those things that if you ignore it it will go away.

Have we become like those we despise?
by boyzone inak jeff and i have just had a small disagreement on the charlton heston thread.
nothing important or serious, but it just struck me that in our exchanges he and brentr have used a couple of lines of false argumentation to get their point across.. i can't help but think its strange that with all our moaning about the watchtower and its false argumentation methods, are we prepared to use exactly the same methods when our views are challenged?.
i find this a bit disconcerting, especially on here of all places.

Welcome back Boyzone! Most of us here have started threads that did not go well, myself included. I have been away from the JW's for over 22 yrs and I still can't put into words the anger I have towards them and my parents for raising me in that twisted cult. Myself and the rest of us here know where you're comming from. This is the place to work through it because we all understand each other even though we fight like cats sometimes. Despite the occasional frackus JWD is a powerful force against the Borg and they never anticipated having something like this to contend with. We are thier worst nightmare.
I am very sorry to hear about your mom and I wish your family the very best.

What would happen to someone who travels to a distant town and goes into a bar and starts flipping crap to the people inside?

Good riddence! Anyone that uses thier first couple of posts to start slinging shit is not gong to last long on any forum. Certainly not on a "in memory of.." thread. That is rude and inconsiderate. Most new members use thier first posts to introduce themselves and tell thier story, not start a fight.

For someone as new as you are you better better have both barrels loaded before you start making accusations like that bucko!
