  im just gonna do a recount of what types of people we will find in hell:.

  women with respect for themselves, natural scientists, atheists, agnostics, buddhists, hindus, everyone from the center to the far left of the political spectrum, homosexuals, sexually liberated people.. and what types of people we will find in heaven:.

  sexually restrictive, far right, wife abusing christians.. i would pick hell any day.

  Are You a Fallen Angel?

  do you think we were created for the first time in these clay vessels made of earth elements?.

  do you think we might have originated elsewhere and the god of this planet made these vessels for our visitation here?.

  how the hell did we get sucked into coming here?

  Why are we repulsed at the though to consuming human milk?

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  i saw a story this morning about a guy who is making cheese using his wife's breast milk.. i checked a poll and 80% of people think this is gross.

  i must admit there is a part of me that is repulsed too.

  my scientific "geek" and curious side is intrigued and would want to try it... but then the repulsion kicks in again.

  the midwife for my 2nd kid had done an internship
  in a rural mexican birthing center and told our
  homebirth group that often a mother nursed
  the youngest in the family til they were big enough
  to drag a chair over for mama and make a cuppa tea
  for her.... food mom ate made milk for the kid... it was
  all about economics

  nursing a 6 YO here would get you investigated by family services

  eta: i did the "chew it first" introduction of solids for my kids too....
  i dont think we bought "special food" for any one them

  by a whisker, i missed it being "that call", the one that changes your life forever.

  2 am, the phone, the sheriff, the 16 yo, the mishap on the road that, in the big picture, is really just a frikkin inconvenience and another goddamn output of money we dont have.... .

  i am pretty sure the hammering of my heart will ease up in a bit.

  i hope it didnt come off petty, me kvetching about $$,
  because when he and i were driving back to "the scene"
  yesterday morning, to meet the tow truck guy who was
  going to pull the car out of the field.... i said to him

  "i was so glad to hear your voice on the phone last night...
  i was SO mad to be driving in the dark and the fog last night,
  thru the stench of two dead skunks, and after 20 miles i was
  thinking 'i couldnt have missed them, could i? the cops were
  going to stay with him, how could i have missed them?' and
  then i saw the reflections of the red and blue flashing lights on
  the fog above the next hill and i knew when i topped that hill
  i would see you again, and not be there to identify a body
  and i started to cry.... so let me just be mad that i had to
  think those things cos it is just one more way i can love you"

  thank you, each and every...
  love 'em like there is no tomorrow

  What religion would you recommend for those who want to leave the WTS?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after i decide to leave the jehovah's witnesses one day,i will not look for a new religion.

  the damage that the wts has caused me leads me to mistrust all men and religion.. i trusted these men from the wts .

  i gave up 35 years of my life to find out that the wts is just a printing and real estate corporation disguised as a religion.

  times like this can almost make ya nostalgic for a god to thank
  
  
  almost

  he fell asleep at the wheel
  
  crossed the center line
  and plowed 35 feet into the
  remnants of snow in a field...
  
  the car rode up on the packed
  snow right to the frame... totally
  filled the wheel wells and intruded
  into the engine compartment
  
  the deputy sheriff said there was
  no indication of attempts to brake...
  
  no.attempt.to.brake.
  
  30 seconds later, he would have
  plowed right into a stand of pine
  
  and never even known he was dead
  
  i am seriously too old for this shit

  none of my kids weaned before 2 and the last one was just shy of 3...
  nursing was a cheap simple solution to a lot of toddler issues! a bump,
  a grump, can't sleep, sick, whatever.... stick a tit in their mouth...
  we could sit thru movies and no one knew we had a baby with us!!!

  cheese? i dunno, i would have to taste it, but i found the milk itself too too sweet

  that squirting thing? the big "O" always set me off like a fountain

  TMI? i hope so <bewbies rule>
