The colours, odour, and flavour can also reveal a lot, but more research needs to be done on this. Any volunteers?
Link... I was RIGHT there with you until the "flavour". I'm all about the ratemypoo but tasting? yick.

consider also the research of dr. masaru emoto in which he conclusively proves that our thoughts and emotions do have a direct influence upon matter.
dr. emoto discovered that concentrated specific thoughts, projected at water, will result in dramatic changes in the resulting ice crystals when the water sample is frozen.
positive, loving thoughts and emotions produced brilliant, beautifully complex snowflakes, while negative thought forms projected at the same water sample resulted in incomplete, dull and asymmetrical snowflakes (see www.masaru-emoto.net for details).. .

some of you remember about 9 months ago when my son's fanatic witness mother ( my ex ) tried e-mailing him at college to preach to him of the evils of higher learning.
he stood up for himself admirably.
she left him alone - but she's back at it again like a bad dream that just won't quit !
Where... to... start...
He has "new age ideas"? There are plenty of JWs who are huge on the holistic healings that I have run across. "Is he joining a cult?" God, I almost laughed my laptop off my lap on that one. What kind of clutish thinking is she worried about? We are right and everyone else is wrong and doomed to die? Or, we are God's channel for truth. Or, nevermind planning for your future sucess. The end is coming really soon. Uh, yeah, like in a few years. Blah, blah, blah, what total noise.
At the point she called him demonic I would have tuned out too. Granted, it's a little hippish, new age-y for my blood, but I love to see the beauty in the world. Who can fault him for wanting to do that?
What a looney. Fortunately you raised a man who can think for himself even under the onslaught of an authority figure like his own mother.

1. bethel in ny suspect high level apostate, cant identify it but know its there.
2. major organizational changes about to start rolling out, one is changes to the "service committee" and titles, po to be done away with, thats all i know for now.
was told that if you are the sort of person that cant handle changes, you wont stay in the org for long.
I'm seeing this pan out like the scene from The Departed where on the Head GB gives the baby GBs some false information to see if it floats up in the Apostanet. Then, concrete shoes in the East River ensue. Not really. (OK, maybe).
Quoting myself 'cause I'm right. Maybe I'm kidding. Regardless it sounds cool.

evolutionists flock to darwin-shaped wall stainseptember 5, 2008 | issue 4436. darwinic pilgrims claim the image fills them with an overwhelming feeling of logic.. dayton, tna steady stream of devoted evolutionists continued to gather in this small tennessee town today to witness what many believe is an image of charles darwinauthor of the origin of species and founder of the modern evolutionary movementmade manifest on a concrete wall in downtown dayton.. "i brought my baby to touch the wall, so that the power of darwin can purify her genetic makeup of undesirable inherited traits," said darlene freiberg, one among a growing crowd assembled here to see the mysterious stain, which appeared last monday on one side of the rhea county courthouse.
the building was also the location of the famed "scopes monkey trial" and is widely considered one of darwinism's holiest sites.
Virgin Mary and Darwin stains both fill me with reverence for female sex organs. I think Freud would have something to say about my perceptions.

keeping a straight face during the song is hard enough given the wacky lyrical content; the last thing i need is the "new sister" standing right behind me and loudly delivering a breathy, lispy, over-dramatic rendition of "stay asleep stand firm grow culty".
simon cowell is not listening in.
or how about that one guy every hall has who bawls the songs out, painfully out of tune, way louder than anyone else.
As a pre-teen JW I had a friend whose mom would practice singing the songs the day before the meeting. I recall her having less talent and more treacle coated melody. I guess she could hold a note pretty well. I hit the puberty and sounded like a sick bullfrog. I hated singing those songs.

i just watched an episode of a&e's intervention.
it was about phillip (season 5) an alcholic.

I just watched an episode of A&E's Intervention. It was about Phillip (Season 5) an alcholic. http://www.aetv.com/intervention/int_episode_guide.jsp
Anyway, during the episode he is at his sister's house and they are discussing how no one should take him to get liquor. Around that time, you can see the refrigerator with a Memorial invite stuck to it among other things. I definitely could tell it was the 2008(?) invite since it was the face of jesus close-up, looking down. I'm sure there was a thread with it in it around that time. There were no other obvious signs of JWs in that ep. From what I could tell, Phillip did not appear to be a JW. He had some Roman Catholic looking pictures of Christ on his wall and his girlfriend wore a cross. Perhaps only his sister has a connection to the Witnesses.
Anyway, Phillip did get the help he needed. I hope the guy stays sober. His daughter loves him and needs a sober dad.

as a witness, i often wondered why the society spent so much time proving that jehovah disposed of jesus physical body.
who would choose the earthly hope of being confined to a purely physical body on this tiny earth for eternity when we and our loved ones can be like christ, enjoying eternity in both a new heaven and a new earth, where the physical and the spiritual will be connected in a way that is beyond our imagination?
hey jam, I'm right there with you. think if the converse were true too: Let's say I'm single after "this old world" fizzles off into ephemera. let's also say there are some world-class hotties being resurrected with whom I fall engorgedly in love. would it be a deviation if I were to hit that? I'm mean, what if I'm *destined* to be Bathsheba's one true love? what a bummer!

hi reniaa.
the "classes" described here are not typically described as such in WTS literature. however they do exist. I can't quote reference like some here, but in my youth I recall the description of the resurrected as being like angels neither marrying nor being given in marriage. this was quoting Jesus' words related to questions around a man who was married several times.
so the WTS taught (and local elders) that those who are resurrected would be celibate eternally. not very fun in my opinion.
this all underscores the WTS history of having an answer for everything -- even the time of the end -- despite scriptural counsel to the contrary .
what is really wrong with saying "we just don't know"?
