  Restrangled, you could always try the all-over silvery look and then change it if you feel you're not ready yet.

  The lighting in the bathroom where I work is the only place I can see gray hair. So about once a month when I see one laughing at me, I'll stand there for 30 minutes trying to pluck that one damn hair. And then, of course, act casual when anyone walks in. I wonder how the hairs get to be full length without my noticing?

  My dad was almost entirely gray and then went on the McDougal diet (vegan with no fat, not even cooking oil). His hair turned back to black. I've always meant to do research about that, but never have.

  "I shake and my heart pounds and it takes a while for it to go away once they leave."

  Ditto. I wonder if it's PTSD (mild form, of course)?

  some may remember, i wrote on an other thread that elders forbade me to give comments at the wt meeting, as i weaken the brothers' faith.

  i wasn't satisfied with this outcome and, 10 days ago i sat with my wife on the front part of the kh (like in many khs, attendants pack on the back seats), in the middle of the row, right in front of the wt elder, and raised my hand insistently.

  i was of course openly ignored but i didn't care, all that i wanted was verybody to see how they deal with independent members.

  I would love to hear some of the comments you've given that have "weakened the brothers' faith." I imagine it didn't take much.

  as some of you know my husband became ill and we lost our house in indiana.

  my parents offered to help and although i really didn't want to do it knowing that my parents have limited resources i really didn't have a choice.

  i also wanted to come back to a place that was familiar and where most of my family and friends are.

  Intellectual Honesty - What it Means & Does not Mean

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, someone whom i said was being intellectually dishonest, took it to mean that i was accusing her/him of being deceptive.

  this is not the meaning of intellectual dishonesty.

  intellectual dishosesty is about the use of false argumentation styles, something many jws do not spot in wts arguments, and something that a number of ex-jws carry with them and unwittingly employ.. a case example: today, president obama chose to sign a bill that protects 2,000,000 acres, some of which is good for ranching and recreation.. intellectual dishonesty by a far right conservative may see this as a threat to individual rights to own land, farm, and ranch, and may compare such a bill as taking us toward more government ownership of land.

  "The results of false arguments: It causes hard feelings, does not result in understanding facts, nor in swaying anyone to a better opinion. Instead, people feel threatened, strike back, and lash out at those with whom they disagree, ending up with more enemies when the dust settles."

  Case in point: your ridiculous statement that liberals consider personal wealth to be unfair.

  we have been up all night with the commotion going on here!

  we let the dog out to potty at about 3:10 am, and all of a sudden we heard about 20 loud gunshot blasts.

  we got chelsea back inside quickly, and within minutes the police helicopter was above our house, and sirens everywhere.

  CJ, I just found another news article with a few more details, but I can't figure out how to hyperlink on a Mac.

  It was close to my house after all - the parking lot of Morelia restaurant across from Blockbuster. Then the fun traveled to your neighborhood.
