by pobthespazz inespecially if you were raised as a dub like me, well i was called a muslim, holy joe, a jahoodsoon, all seems funny now but torture when you was the only dub in the whole school.

"Why is a cheese cake called a cheese cake when it's not made out of cheese? I love it here! Ian" Ian - cheese cake IS made out of cheese! You stupid brit! soft cheese, evap milk, lemon juice, and crushed digestive biscuits is what i use - at work someone used ginger biscuits but i havent tried yet. mascapone cheese is the proper one to use although my neice used philadelphia when she made it at school! lmao

Are you a 'Life is Over-rated' or a 'life is what you make it' type person?
by needproof ini was wondering who out there is a 'life is what you make it' type person.
i must admit that i am a 'life is over-rated' type.
i don't wish to sound negative but how can you say to a kid born in war torn sudan 'oh, get over it... life is what you make it!'.

For ME - life is what i make it. but i know that for many people, they can't make anything of life cos they were give a pile of poo to start off with. my husband and i hav no money compared to the rich but loads compared to the poor. we can afford to put food on the table and we had a break at christmas in yorkshire even if that meant we didnt buy each other any presents. hubby is working fulltime and re-training in the evenings with the hope that he can get a better paid job. which i made him do - i said i wouldnt consider having children when he earns less than £13,000 sterling pa. the only charity i giv to at the moment is the NSPCC (national society for the prevention of cruelty to children) which, with my background, is something i feel strongly about. but i will do more when we get ourselves out of debt.

How are farm animals bred for meat killed today?
by mia_b ini was discussing with my husband how im happy to eat meat as long as its not game (venison, partridge etc) because i cant get the "no blood" out of my belief system yet and i know that game isn't bled.
he asked me - how do you think farm animals are killed today?
my answer - a metal bolt shot through the skull into the brain causing instant death - i understand from seeing programs that this is the practice in the uk anyhow, and we try to buy british - it helps the local economy more.. so how is the meat bled asks my husband?

So how is the meat bled asks my husband? they don't slit the throat - its dead. it just gets hung for a while, cut up and sent out to supermarkets. Most supermarket meat, according to him, isn't hung long anyhow - thats why its so red, if it had been hung it would look browner.
Does that mean that i was bought up eating unbled meat and all my jw family are all unknowingly practicing the eating of blood?
how can i find out?

Law of gravity?
by the sage inif jehovah's rule of law works like the law of gravity, which it apparently does until the millennial rule of christ, the past 6000 years of sin (error) inherited from adam has permitted mankind to exist even though imperfect.
this has allows death and distruction.
the historical scriptural record of death and distruction of those that go contrary to god's rule of law by failing to follow his direction and guidance (since not perfect impossible), as a people or nation it proved to be the case.

Dropped in on the Circuit Assembly Today
by new light inthe ass hall is about 10 miles from here, and here is 3000 miles from my last congregation, so i figured what the hay, i'll step into the twilight zone, see what it's like after a few years away from it all.
i was bored to a teary-eyed yawn within 10 minutes of sitting (next a nwt-guarded reserved seat, ahh, memories.)..
i caught the last few minutes of the wt study and then came "giving attention to the needs of the circuit".
