  Aspartame apparently makes my guts ache...

  by TD in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i was experiencing mild abdominal pain in the evenings and just on a whim, tried eliminating diet soda and other drinks sweetened with aspartame.. i don't drink a lot of soda, but when i do, i tried mexican coca-cola sweetened with old fashioned cane sugar instead.

  --no more pain.

  but now i'm climbing the wall with cravings.

  Perspective

  by Cthulhu in

  2. friends

  when a legalistic organization takes the tale of jacob and rachel to illustrate the need to work hard to fulfill a contract, they detract from the point, which is that if you love something, carrying out work for it won't feel like work.

  (genesis 29:20).

  do you agree with the bible's definition of wickedness?.

  do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit gods kingdom?

  do not be misled.

  According to the WTS, anyone who disobeys their instructions by frequenting this website and adding comments to apostate blogs - would constitute a wicked person, Alice.

  I used to have bad stomach problems and they stopped when I quit going to meetings.

  It's funny to see this thread right now. Because I just threw out my old meeting bag and there were 3 or 4 half-used rolls of TUMS in there.....

  I used to pop those things like peppermints.

  There's a poster here with the username - "pda" - spying on me, too.

  Came onto a thread where I told an experience, called me a liar and then buggered off when I proved him/her wrong.

  Slandered At the Circuit Assembly & My Letter To My Mother

  by headisspinning in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on saturday, my ex husband went on the platform at the one day circuit assembly and slandered me in front of 800+ people.. my jw family is even up in arms because he basically lied and ruined any last bits of my reputation that i had left, the worst part is this was elder sanctioned.. i am really exhausted from all the upheaval so i will get right to the point.

  the following is what i sent to my mother:.

  hi mom.

  My ex slanders me all the time, too. He has everyone convinced that I left him for another man - when in reality, I left him, met someone else and married him 2 yrs later.

  He's on a JW dating site and has the whole sordid saga out there for everyone to see on his profile. Everyone feels sorry for him.

  The way I feel about it now, I don't care what any of those people think of me. THEY should be worried what I think of them. and I know the truth of my situation and am comfortable with the choices I made. They weren't all the best choices, but I know why I made them, and what my motives were.

  Hugs to you,

  Being a Canadian, I prefer the CFL.

  Our field is 10 yrds longer than your's and we only have 3 downs. Makes for a quicker, more challenging game.

  But I look forward to your NFL blogs, Sab-darling!

  And I would LOOOOOOOVE to see NFL talent play by CFL rules!!!!
