  Do You Use Floride?

  by sammielee24 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a believe in non-floridation because i believe that the introduction of toxins into our bodies does nothing but harm us in the long run.

  fluoride has shown up in the blood of newborn babies and given that it affects the neurological systems, and given the fact that parents are warned not to mix formula with tap water in some areas or allow children under the age of 6 to use fluoridated toothpaste, you have to wonder who is making all the money on the product.

  i watched a report on this just the other day where a dentist was saying that cavities are down in the popuation but what she didn't point out was all the casualities showing up now with tooth enaml wore off, tooth discolouration, bone loss and some cancer links.

  thanks sammielee, for posting this info
  
  horrible life posts a devastating picture of poor areas where dental problems
  are unchecked because of the unfortunate unavailability of fluoride....
  
  a simple response to this depressing scenario is-
  what other more likely factors are responsible for the dental problems described?
  have you analyzed the lifestyle of these people?
  what is their diet, for example?
  quality of hygiene?
  
  sammielee's info raised serious questions regarding the inclusion of a neurotoxic "drug"
  into the human diet. horrible life ignored the points, but did make a swipe at the
  lack of "refrences".
  
  it is quite likely that damage to the human body due to intake of fluoride far overshadows
  any slight "benefit" in cavity deterrence.
  
  i've lived in eugene, oregon for five years. thankfully, this water supply is not fluoridated.
  my son is nine, breastfed til he was four, and has no cavities. he has never consumed
  fluoride.
  
  ever wonder about that warning label on fluoride toothpaste?
  that's a red flag on the tip of the iceberg.

  as is his wont, farkel keeps hammering me about thinking 'outside the box.

  ' i'm beginning to suspect that doing so is almost becoming his favorite past-time.

  lol.

  i've come to love and cherish much of the wisdom that emanates from the dear ladies of this forum and believe watchtower boobed in making all women subservient to the men.

  Dr. Spok

  while i was a jw, i heard repeatedly that dr spok's techniques do not work.

  it was wordly psycology.

  we should follow the bible's advice to not spare the "rod" or spoil the child.

  All call for "the happiness crowd"!

  by changeling in

  all are welcome to join.

  all you have to do is be happy and positive.

  you must honestly want to spread your happiness infectiously throughout the world.. you must try to wear a smile most of the time.. you must listen compassionately and give good hugs.. i does not matter if you are not currently feeling happy, but you must promise to summon the feeling from within yourself.

  Free Speech/Nathan

  by Guest with Questions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i started this on another thread so a lot of it is in response to nathan's.. there is still free speech, even for christians.

  a lot of people would like to take free speech away from christians; that we keep our mouths shut.

  as americans, what do you think of the fairness doctrine that henry waxman wants to revive?

  a tale of two cherry trees

  by inkling in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  note: this a copy of an e-mail i sent to my dad, (a non-doubting elder) on the subject of the nov. 2007 awake: "can you trust the bible".

  i think the fact that this email was actually quite well received says much about my dad's maturity, and the sort of relationship i have with him.

  :+:+:+: a tale of two cherry trees :+:+:+: first off, i agree that the style of the november awake!is somewhat "fresh" and updated.
