that is the question.. the turkey that is.
i've brined for 2 years now, but am not sure if i want to do that this year.
anyone else brine their birds?.
Yes, brine. Here's Alton Brown's:

Brining adds moisture and seasoning. We're also adding chile peppers this year!
Don't confuse brining with the mere water injection some supermarket birds get to boost weight.
shedding our seventh day adventist roots regarding death.
Is not the OT "soul" nothing more (nor less) than "breath"?
That the child's "soul" returned - is that not just saying he started breathing again?
I'd have to go back and read up on what the old Judaic beliefs about the "soul" really was...
I find Ecc to be the most relevent, believable text in the Bible.
im new here.
it's been about 18 years scince i been to a kingdom hall (a bunch of unfortanent events and found myself living in sin) but i have stayed close to my faith and love in god through it all, and refound my love and faith and continue seeking truth.is this a strickly ex jw site or active jws too?
i was raised as a jw but iv'e found (in the word) that mankind cannot create a true church, temple, or religion.
In general, it's still toe the line, follow what the Governing Body says (not what the Bible says), don't question, and put in those hours!
You'll find some folks that might believe what you believe, but they can't say so out loud for fear of being disfellowshipped.
Jesus hasn't returned and struck down the nations do jws beleive he returned? > Yes, he is here invisibly.
I thought they taught that the devil was cast out of heaven down to earth in 1914 or 18 or whatever is this not what they teach now? > That's when Christ returned, I believe Satan's suppsed to have been set loose upon the Earth longer than that, but my cheat sheet isn't at hand at the moment.
Why would Jesus clean his own house out first when he comes, all of christainity and people devoted to God are his house right? > No, only the 144,000 of the anointed class of JWs are his own people. Other Sheep (other JW adherents) get to have a relationship with Jesus and God only through the remaining 144,000. According the the WTS, Jesus found nothing wanting in his own real church when he came to invisibly hang out.
If he needs to clean his own house that means it's mislead in ways to right? > God's orgnazation (the WTS - Watchtower Society) is already as perfect as it needs to be. Except when they make mistakes, then they say they're just erring humans. Just don't ask questions.
Isn't the whore of Baboloyn false religion? > I think that's still true. The Great Beast is still the UN. Except they became a part of the UN (NGO) in order to, uh, they say "get a library card". But you can still get disfellowshipped for joining the YMCA even if it's just to use the pool.
Isn't loving the Father and the Son and loving one another what's important? > Of course not, silly goose! Repeating what the GB says is what's important. The WTS has been saying for decades that character isn't important. Of course, they also say having a personal relationship with Jehovah is important, but apparently they get to tell you whether you've got that or not.
Aren't we told to teach what truth we find and make it known to all of God's nations. > Technically, we're told to spread the WTS literature. We are encouraged to have an enquiring mind, until it leads us to question the WTS - then it's called apostasy.
Or let them stay blinded so Jesus can turn their hearts back himself? > In that case, let Jesus take care of it.
I belive Loving God for who he is with everything we have, obeying his commandments to show our love, and loving one another what the bible teaches plainly. > I think there are vast interpretation issues with reading many translations of the Bible, that if you go beyond the basics that Jesus taught (Love your neighbor as yourself, love God) then you're treading into opinion.
Isn't the bible's secrets and hard to understand words mostly for directions for the 144000 so they can walk their walk holy in line with God, Jesus and the truth? > Secrets? What secrets? No, I don't think there are directions for 144,000 people that are specially selected to serve as kings and priests.
Seeking and knowing all truth in this life is impossable; even Jesus doesn't know the day and hour of his return. Do Jws claim they do or at least know the year? > No, except they occasionally predict a time that would be fitting for Armageddon to start once in a while. It's still "near", though. Like it has been since the late 1800's.
Also isn't the Great tribulation, the Anti-Christ and mark of the beast right around the corner? > It's clear skies here, and I don't see any tribulation or anti-Christ on the horizon.
Would they even except me in their congragation if I belive these things? > You could try it out. You'll first be welcomed, then there's a Bible study, then baptism - at which point you best know what you can and can't believe any more, lest they kick you out and shun you.
on behalf of all the child abuse cases i have read on this board, have the wts released some kind of written information about not getting the "worldly" law involved?
now, that would be a very interesting issue.. adrianoblue.
Their published policy is nucking futs.
Bring the accused and child into the same room to tell their stories? As a child I couldn't even articulate what had been done to me.
Never a mention of involving the authorities? Or did I miss "we bring in the cops, who actually know how to INVESTIGATE crime"?
Yeah, molestation is real abhorrent to them.
in another thread the question of whether or not the wt$ would "outright lie" was raised.. i happen to believe that they would in a heartbeat, although i agree that their preference is for sneaky misleading statements as opposed to outright lies.
regardless, here's a short list of some of what i consider incontrovertible evidence that yes, the wt$ would outright lie.. .
consider the following statements printed in the wt magazine:.
Of course they would lie - and they encourage others to do it with "spiritual warfare".
How many times have they revised history, especially regarding when The End was predicted to come? First saying ti would come, then denying they said it.
i was raised in it.
for the most part i was an exemplary jw.
i'm a very social fun loving person.
I've always been nice. Everyone says so, even my relatives still in the krazy kult.
I can't think of anything naughty that I do, though it's nice that I can be a human with faults now.
Hmm...aside from the manical guilt that I might some day do something naughty, I don't think anything has changed...I guess I'm pretty boring! The things are thought were nice I still think are nice, the things I wouldn't choose to do I still don't choose to do...not that what I think of as naughty and nice ever matched up with the WTS...
the article can be listened to from jw.org.
there is more than one question.
the first is about rebaptism.
Again - what they think others must be doing (fooling around) is nothing more than a reflection of what *they* would do given the chance.
And...does anyone think QFR ever were from Readers? I think I lost that illusion when I first learned to read...
i would have bought this if i weren't broke.
so, what do you think, authentic z28?
awfully cheap if it was..
Started F-cars with a '68 Firebird 400.
This isn't the best example 90's Z/28 out there. It looks authentic from what I can see (badges, wheels), but isn't among the sought-after variations. High mileage, warning that it needs TLC, both suggest work/$ investment. So if you have the money for a rebuild, or the time and expertise, go for it - myself, I'm not enough of a hobbyist mechanic any more to be interested in a project car. Looks like it's taken a hit to the nose, those noses can be a right bi^ch to adjust.
At that mileage, you'll be lucky to break 200 hp - compression is likely compromised, I'd suspect time for a little boring and new rings.
PS - technically, 90's camaro is a compact (comething over 190 inches, subcompact typically like 165 inches max).

All mammals have similar emotional landscapes.
As mammals, we would expect to see similarities between us.
