do you think the scientists, doctors and pharmeceutical companies know of a cure for cancer that they're not telling us?
when you consider the leaps and bounds in medical discoveries that we've made in the last 50 years, it seems incredible that they're still using chemotherapy and radiation as the treatment for cancer.. while i was one of the lucky one who has survived cancer (so far), it's always in the back of my mind that it could return.
we all have friends who died before their time because of this rotten disease, yet the only progress that seems to have been made is that they can now 'detect' it earlier, which of course gives you a much greater chance of survival.. there have been stories of people who have been cured through alternative medicine, yet no one in the medical field seems to be interested in anything other than chemo or radiation.
They play a similar trick with cholesterol and its supposed connection to heart disease, what they define as elevated cholesterol levels are in fact normal but they make a fortune out of the drugs they sell to lower them. It's the cholesterol myth
Absolutely incorrect, studies have shown that lower cholesterol levels are very important to combat heart disease!! The numbers were recently reduced as a result of these studies. Not a myth at all.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, I guess mixed feelings is the best answer.
I think a cure is very hard to find because there are so many types of cancer and so many ways that it can attack the human body. They have found preventative measures for some types of cancer so I tend to believe that progress is being made.
Now, for those of us who have cancer or know someone with cancer there will never be enough being done fast enough.
Medicine have found many cures for many diseases, so I don't necessarily agree that "they are holding out".
Mary, I'm so glad that you are with us!!!

jw's often have big parties or "gatherings" to celebrate wedding anniversaries, esp.
for the big milestones (20th, 50th anniversary etc).. the process of these parties almost exactly mimic a typical birthday celebration: the couple of honour sit up the front, various people give speeches, show "honour" to the happy couple, there is a meal and drinks, usually an anniversary cake.. exactly the same as a birthday party.. so why is it ok to celebrate an anniversary of a wedding but not the annoversary of a birth??
when it's usually the "wedding" which sooner or later results in a birth??
people slipped the CO envelopes of money during his visit!
WHAT!!!??? I Never knew that! where in the hell was I, obviously not paying attention. I'm not sure why, but some of this JW crap still catches me off guard

i noticed another thread on this site relaying a stupid e mail making the rounds of dubdom.. well i just got this one and i thought i would share.... powerful illustration.
after the prayer, the local elder slowly stood up, walked up to the.
platform and, before he gave his public talk, he briefly introduced a guest.

hey all.
mr. flipper.
when in the witnesses, the fanciful thought is put forward that the main thing important in a marriage is the "threefold cord" having god in your marriage.
First sight? He has the sexiest but I've ever seen!!!!
Second - he fell in love with my 2 month old son and treated him as if he had planted the seed! My husband is total opposit of me, he has the energy of a 10 year old and will talk to a rock as long as it isn't moved. We've had some ups and down's mostly because of my dub parents interferring, but we've been together for 24 years and married 21 and still very much in love.
We both love Jazz, I recently got him into Wine and going to wine tastings and he has introduced me to golf (yuk), but that's what it's all about right? Give and take, spending time together, sharing.
I think I'll go give him a big ol juicy kiss!

i can easily live without my mobile telephone - never use it at the moment and i rarely do.. i couldn't live without my pc because of all the things i can do on it including (when i have internet) jwd .
I'm very suprized at myself - I can't think of anything I could or would want to live without. Is that selfish? Maybe I need to sit in the corner, with a glass of wine and my laptop, with the TV on and my cell phone near, the kids in the other room, my hubby watching ESPN and really think about what's important to me?
Oh I forgot the dog, he's snoring at my feet, wouldn't wanna live without him!

this one is the best.. this is an experience from one of our sisters from athens spanish that went to italy and greece to serve.
she relates this experience that i thought was really interesting.
she asked him why, and he replied, how can i question the man if i have not read them myself.. .
Give me a break!

apologies if someone has covered this already, but i'm a third of the way through this marvellous book which i'm enjoying more than richard dawkin's the god delusion.
the full title of hitchens' book is god is not great - the case against religion.
it pulls no punches and is extremely well written.
My "to read" book list is getting longer. Keep 'em coming.
