a very good friend of mine is in charge of plant maintenance at a local factory.
there are 300 people working in this factory and two of them are muslims.
the muslims have requested that they require special toilets just for themselves.
In researching this problem, my friend discovered that the local University had to spend £15,000 on toilets for its Muslim students and these toilets are 'Muslims Only'!
What university is this?
I've heard of universities installing footbaths so that Muslims can wash their feet before praying without standing in the sink. The "Muslims stand to defecate" thing is a new one one me. Frankly, it sounds anatomically impossible. I can believe squatting, but not standing.
now that our two yr old grandaughter is spending more time here i am seeing quite a bit of childrens programs, cartoons, etc.
i must say i am impressed with the quality of most of it.
seems like when our kids were small it was mostly crash, bam, boom.
I love Nemo. It must be fun to have a little one around again. You know how little kids have imaginary friends? When DD was 3, she had a whole crew -- all the animal characters from Winnie the Pooh. Every time we went somewhere in the car, I had to buckle them all into their imaginary seatbelts. When we went out to eat, I had to be sure to get them imaginary food.

I love cartoons! What have you been watching?
feeling way too good, but thats ok at this time of year.
may you feel just as happy.!.
listening to cream as perfomed in england.
Yes, feeling good. Fixed my computer over the weekend and received a couple of pieces of much-needed good financial news. Also, a co-worker won a much-deserved award and I'm happy on her behalf, too.
Yes they may "Not say the truth" so this can be equal to a lie, but not for them.
That's what my mom did, and taught me (and I assume my brothers) to do, to conceal from my non-believing father that we were going door-to-door. He didn't approve of her doing it and he had flat-out forbidden her to take us kids. To defy his "headship" would have been a sin, but to deceive him was just fine.
.. you may be aware of recent media coverage on 'the salt threat'* where the fda is trying to regulate the food packaging industries use of salt in the products.. if they go forward with it what would stop them from trying to regulate the salt content in usda meat since it's common knowledge that blood contains salt and if the production line is slowed down allowing for a better quality of bleed in the carcass reducing the amount salt or blood in the meat.. * http://abcnews.go.com/gma/oncall/story?id=3929972&page=1 .
.
The point is that if the USDA regulates the term of bleeding of the dead cacuass to elimate high consintrations of salt in the blood, the Jw's will be able to eat USDA meat since it would compliy with the bible standard at Genesis 9:4, not to eat poorly bled meat.
Huh? The JWs I know already eat USDA meat, and have been doing so all along.
ok, so i have this lump on the right side of my neck, bout half the size of a golf ball, though you really cant notice it unless i point it out.
a year ago i had a biopsy,,(for cancer),gosh, if i knew ahead of time how they were going to do it , dont think i woulda shown up lol.
anyway,,i think i have a thyroid conditionl,,,cold,,tired,,and found out daughter takes med for a thyroid condition.
You definitely need to see a doctor.
My thyroid is underactive ("wearing out" is how one doctor put it). I take a pill every day and I mostly feel pretty good, but as someone else posted, it's very hard to lose weight. If you end up on thyroid meds, be sure to read the directions carefully. For example, I'm not supposed to take any other meds for an hour after I take my thryoid med, or take calcium supplements for several hours afterward.
im new to your website and im very thankful i have found it.
i was born and raised a witness but managed to get myself out after highschool and havent been back for five or six years.
now that i have a family of my own im totally confused.
Relax and take your time. Enjoy your husband's enjoyment of the holidays. Enjoy the food and presents. Over time, you may find your way to really liking the holidays. And if you don't, so what? Not all non-JW-raised people like the holidays, either.
thats pretty much it....my at home son seems so much younger than he should be...he is now 20 but hangs with much youger dubs...and has no girlfriend to date.
i had like ten by then and had done everything but impregnate a girl................................what the hey is going on here?....................................oompa..
plus he is a ministerial servant and reg.
As a devout JW, your son probably believes that dating is appropriate only in the context of seeking and courting a spouse. If he's not ready to marry, he won't consider it appropriate to date. He may also not see the need to move out of your house until he marries. If you want him gone, you may have to push.
ok, dansk and all you other fab guys out there.
any suggestions for what to get besty this year?
it's our first christmas and it's his birthday on boxing day!!
PoppyR's suggestion is my favourite so far, although the last time I tried something like that, it took me about 2 hours to try and get into the item in question!!!!
But how long did it take you to get out of it?
