  just lately i've become weary of following recipes in books or online.

  recently when on holiday in the lake district i wanted to make pasta with a tomato and cheese sauce but the only interesting cheese they had at the local store was a somerset brie.

  i discovered when peeled of its skin and tossed in with tomatoes and pasta it melts beautifully and tasted amazing.

  He and Tenzing Norgay were the 1st to reach the top of Mt Everest.It went to the grave with both of them who put there foot on top 1st,Neather of them reviled that.

  He did alot for the sherpa's of Napal making sure they were payed well for their work as well as setting up schools there.

  He came to my school and gave a speech then walked around the play ground talking to us children,His phone number was in the phone book and he would talk to anyone that rang him partially children doing a project on Everest.

  The British tryed to say that Mallory and Irvine may have made it to the top of Everest years before,Hillarys reply.....They may have but i made it down again.

  Who wrote the Bible?

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wordings suggest much of the bible is written by false friends of god.

  to mention a few:.

  1) god planted a special tree to pay the way for suffering and death into the lives of his children.. 2) god protected cain who murdered his innocent brother out of sheer jealousy.

  Over eating v over drinking

  by Normalfulla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was in, i couldn't understand why the subject of over eating or gluttony was almost never discussed, there was countless talks and articles about over drinking but over eating is lumped in as the same offence in the bible but was never discussed?

  an elder who was serving in the islands told me he heard a talk given by a local in the cong there who professed that "in the new system we can eat as much as we want and not get fat".

  so why was /is it not talked about?

  If gluttony was a D.Fing offence....... there goes half my old congregation. And over drinking most of the Elders I ever knew.

  They made a sort of apology that could be interpreted many ways ... as usual plenty of wiggle room to deny it.there should be an apology over "this generation will not pass away" but I'm not holding my breath. Karter

  The bridge

  so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

  apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.
