got home, took some stuff, went to take a nap...and i doubt that i left my bed for more than 4 hours in the next 48. i did check the mayo site and found i had 7 of the nine listed symptoms for the flu.

I think the symptoms of H1N1 are the same as the "normal" flu, aren't they?

BTW, I get a flu shot next week.

Learning the "Truth" Is not true is like...................

after 33 years of being mind controlled at 5 meetings a week, field service meetings, special day assembly, curcuit assembly,district assembly, finding out "the truth" is just a big hoax is like getting punched in the stomach-uppercut in the jaw-being kicked in the balls from behind and then having the rug ripped out from under you and smashing your head on the ground.

what was it like for everyone else?.

GermanXJW

It is like learning that your parents are just your foster parents who feed you because they get money for it.

But it is also a diagnosis that you are not the crazy one but everyone in your household.

2. when you left, did you still (a) fully believe in the truthtm, (b) partially believe or (c) realise it was all a load of crap?.

Why is the US so afraid of Social Health Care?

i just don't get why the us is so afraid of social health care, and is so opposed to the canadian and british models.

the plain fact is that there are far more americans without access to health care than the combined populations of sweden, norway, denmark and finland.. a measure of the maturity of any society has to be how it sees fit to re-apportion its wealth.. we are quick to criticise african leaders who line their own pockets but leave the masses in poverty but cannot see that blindly following capitalist principles is much the same.

if we live in a wealthy society then part of that wealth has to be put back into society as a whole.. .

Why do I still feel guilty?

by JWinprotest in

yesterday as our family entered the parking lot of our kh, we realized it was not our congregation entering.

soon afterward we remembered that this week was our co visit and we had missed the tuesday night meeting.

i think it's the first time in over 20 years that i missed a meeting with the co. tonight is our bookstudy/co talk, i wonder if anyone will ask where we were (not likely, everyone is so over us).. it's weird though because a large part of me could care less, and we were laughing about it all the way home.

GermanXJW

Google or see wikipedia for Conditioning. You have heard it that often that it is a normal reflex. You have to learn that you can miss those meetings.

Michael Jackson Made a Song about Demerol

by GermanXJW in

as many others i am listening to mj songs these days.

the album "blood on the dancefloor" contains a track called "morphine".

today he's taking twice as much .

GermanXJW

This calm section among the hard beat could mean that he was thinking Demorol gave him peace in a cruel world. And people reacted "Oh God he's taking demerol"
