  (the cake is the object of the verb 'bake'.).

  (the cat is the object of the verb 'bark'.).

  everywhere else in the new testament when jesus is directly addressed as lord it is always in the vocative case.

  Through a Darkened Pane

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  my frequent walks these last few years about the neighborhood so familiar to me would ordinarily be construed a pleasant enough non-event.

  a little mild exercise - taken in small doses to keep the joints operating properly - and a keen eye peeled for the ever-changing face of nature have rendered the daily promenade a suitable diversion.

  until recently.

  as a nurse, i can tell you that their lives wont go well.

  usually abused females end up neurotics and suffer from personality disorders, and more often than not, anorexic.

  ^ "Practicing your religion" has become a euphemism for denying other people civil rights. I prefer the freedom to worship as I please, not as you please.

  does anyone know if the society has specific policies on the handling of members with mental health problems?.

  my grandfather, a brother in good standing since moses developed paranoid schizophrenia in his later years.

  he got to the stage where he would knock people over in the street, place his hand on thier head and cast out evil spirits in the name of jehovah.. he was disfellowshiped and not long after he passed away.. this was related to me by a friend years later as i was unaware due to the shunning, i didn't even know he died.

  SSRIs (today's typical anti-depressants) are useful for situational depression when part of therapy. They can be a supportive tool in a larger plan towards health, with the goal to be free of them.

  i was having an affair with a pioneer at the time and a girl who was disfellowshipped was in the loo at the hall (she actually had not done aything scriptually wrong (but the elders thought she had ) i tried to smile at her as i felt i was not in a position to judge anyone as guilt was destroying me but she just looked down at the floor , 14 years later we are good friends and both "free".

  when you were "in" and ignored disfellowshipped did you ever think "im not in a position to judge anyone " ?.
