  How many of you have food stored in case of an emergency??

  by Lady Liberty in

  2. friends

  good evening everyone,.

  another topic here made me think of the mormons who are counseled to have a years worth of food on hand in the event of an emergency.

  food, water, money and gas are all things suggested to save.

  Good lord people!

  What about just a few seeds so you can generate a garden?

  Some quick growing things. Many types of lettuces.

  How about a sprout bag? You can have food in 3 days from a sprout bag.

  It wouldn't be bad to have some extra "survival type" foods in an emergency.

  For one thing, I recommend chia seed. It doesn't take a lot of storage space, it's cheap, easy, quick, immediate food supply.

  As a matter of fact the Indians used it for survival food when they made long trips from the mountains to seashore to trade goods. They didn't have time to stop and kill buffalo. Heck...they may not even see any buffalo. They carried chia seed in their pouches and that, plus whatever vegetation they found along the way, sustained them.

  Also, bee pollen and honey are survival foods. Honey needs no refrigeration. You can mix the pollen into the honey and it will be fine.

  powdered carob has a lot of energy and is a food that can help sustain you in famine.

  Also, I would suggest growing other foods that many people would not recognize as a food source.

  Such as Yucca plants, amaranth, chickweed, purslane.

  What the C.O. said right there on the Platform

  by Uncertain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  he started his talk before rev.bookstudy with all the gloom and doom news and then dropped the (to me) bombshell that he reads the news on line.

  yup, i could hear an intake of breath through the hall.

  i can't for the life of me remember what the rest of his talk was, although he used a box of crayolas as a prop.

  #4 Talk on Tues Sept 25 - Blood

  by still_in74 in

  hey all, i have to give a #4 talk on tuesday.

  topic:.

  "why true christians do not accept blood transfusions".

  why not tell the real truth of what it means about eating blood?

  This law of not eating blood was given to help raise spiritual awareness of neathanderthal man.

  The eating of blood was because people were insensitive about the way they killed animals.

  It created torture to eat an animal alive.

  This scripture could be applied to Geeks used in sideshows who would eat live animals without killing them first.

  In modern times it would apply to Green Berets who must bite the heads off live chickens as part of iniation.

  The old testament laws were given in the dawn of mans existence as a guide to help them develop as a rational, feeling human and help them to develop a conscience of right and wrong.

  also, in today's world, it is a ritual among young hunters when they kill a deer for the first time, they slit the throat and drink the blood as part of iniation ritual.

  This type of savagery and disregard for life and assuming that "lesser" life forms have no feeling is what this scripture is all about.

  Talk about that!

  changling, you are just the hostess with the mostest!

  I just can't get over the little violets frozen into the ice cubes. That is just too-too.

  Martha Stewart has nothing on you!

  Listen, I want to share a tequilla shot with you. This is vintage stuff and it's almost to the bottom.

  We have all been saving the tequila worm for you.

  There is some legend about the tequila worm. I'm not sure how it goes, but maybe someone else here knows.

  Bible Law encourages pedophilia-really, not a joke. See Deut. 22:25-29

  by oompa in

  2. friends

  these sex laws have bothered me for some time.

  until coming here i was unaware of all the pedophilia problems in the org.

  the interesting thing about these two bible laws are that if a girl was engaged, and screamed during rape, the rapist only is executed.

  oompa...you are pulling out some very disturbing scriptures tonight. And there are lots more where those came from.

  If there is any redeeming aspect of having been associated with the JWs, its the fact that most everyone on this board has a capacity to dig deeper and think broader. Because of the oppression we have endured, I think we are all less afraid to dissect these verses. We have all been hungry for the real truth. Wbts was just a step along the way. Maybe it taught us to have more critical thinking because we could not get questions answered.

  Still, much in that book is very disturbing.

  At least we are not like candy coated christians that just sing happy songs and say god is good...some people never explore. Even JWs some never explore beyond the boundaries.

  I think we all are here (on this board)...because WE DO.

  what a journey this life is.

  A witness once told me that the reason birthday parties are not acceptable is because John the Baptist got his head cut off at a birthday party. And thats the reason. I don't know if that belief is held by all or if she made it up. You all tell me.

  oompa...you are just too damn funny for your own good.

  That scripture means that the high priest is required to have physical perfection in emulation of the "perfect one" that was to come.

  So, why did some of us come out so ugly?

  I can't help but wonder sometimes if this is really how we looked when we were created. When Adam and Eve noticed they were naked...maybe there really WAS something else missing! (Am I the only one who ever thought that?)

  I have seen some bugs that were prettier than people. I mean really...have you looked at some of the macro photography of bugs? They are absolutely elegant. Beautiful colors and design work. Then take a look at yourself. Pretty drab comparison, huh

  (well, not you personally...I mean humans in general.)

  or with one member too long, 19

  is that a problem for you? Complaints?

  oompa.... lets go over to changelings party. There are some beautiful people there and we will fit right in!
