just went and picked up the scented oil called "evergreen" and am using it in their burner.
it is delicious!
it smells like christmas cookies and fresh pine trees rolled into one.
No Stein Marts near me in Michigan but I'll look online...another idea with burned downed pillar candles is to break them in pieces and put them in a tart burner.........really get your money's worth then....
And I like the old standby Yankee. YankeeCandle.com tends to have decent clearance and sale prices. I got the "Purr-chouli" Halloween(gasp) Candle for half off. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
And if you haven't checked Ebay for your favorite one, do so just in case...you never know.

any biblical support?
please remember that there are a lot of things we consume which contaminate us, even in the everyday food we eat.
If you become a JW you don't go to heaven. Not unless you're of the 144,000 annointed!!! Which is only mentioned in Revelation chapters 7 and 13.(I remembered it this time!)

I don't remember what if any biblical support there was for this. I think that it fell under having respect for life, not being selfish, etc. They lumped it under whatever scripture that they could use to even remotely enforce it.

Speaking of voting in other countries....I read in this month's National Geographic(November 2008 under the heading "Culture") that in Australia that if people don't go to the polls to vote that they face fines. How do the JW's in Australia deal with that?
Just curious

i had lunch with a jw associated friend this past week.
according to her father, they have announced at the meetings to start stocking up on survival supplies in preparation for great trib/armageddon.
for those of you that still go, is this announcement widespread?
I'm thinking that maybe this is a local thing? I don't know that for sure. BUT my father is an elder. I'm positive if they made that an official announcement that he and Mom would definitely say something to me. I've not heard anything like that. In fact a few weeks ago my mom made a comment about having to wait a few more years before the end..........
The organization is a HUGE gossip machine..........

you horrible apostates have nothing better to do than enjoy your sundays and hate jehovah!
!.....here you all are,at jwd..when you should be at the kingdom hall or out in the field service!.....everyone of you had one extra hour to get prepared to go to the kingdom hall..do you know who gave you that extra hour?..jehovah!
!......you are all the devil`s disciple`s!..the son`s of satan!.....why are you enjoying the pleasures of "satan on sunday"?
Outlaw you are a scream!!!!! Actually I'm working...pursuing very bad things like paying my bills, feeding my fur-kids, etc.
I'm a baaaaaaaaad girl!!! Especially since I'd much rather be working than to be at the Hall....blech!
my lurking jw friend sent me a copy of this new dec.15th rubbish on " holding fast to your integrity " - and i don't know if it's the fact i've been out of the witnesses 5 years or not - but the ludricousness of this information seems to be increasing to me.
once again the watchtower society makes big issues of miniscule , small time actions raising the fire alarm , but gloss over more serious sins like murder , for instance .
for example , check this tidbit out from paragraph 10 - " we know that god's word forbids fornication.
Amen Mr Flipper,
Pedophiles are covered up but a teenager's NATURAL urges are to be punished. Not that I'm condoning teenage sex. I'm not. But it seems to be the way of the organization to make natural impulses dirty.
And you're totally right about the example of David and Saul in my opinion. Disagree with the GB to your peril. They've made that clear over and over again throughout the years. Oppose them and lose your family and friends.
To listen to witnesses now is like listening to a broken record. The same things "new light", "waiting on Jehovah" etc is all they blurt out. There's nothing of substance.
As usual, good thread Mr Flipper!!
