  Someone that was out way before myself, explained that the word 'rod' was a referance or misstranslation of the word staff. The kind a sheep herder would use. She went on to say that the herder would never use a staff to beat sheep, just a kind of nudging and guiding along the path. I dont know if this is true though. But at the time, I liked hearing her version of scripture.

  My little brother was a wiggely bull calf. He would smile at everyone as he was took outside the K.H. Little guy just couldnt sit still. He smiled walking back to his seat too.

  You are right TheClarenetist.

  My sentence should have read ... an absence of belief in a 'Divine Power".

  Hi there wasblind,

  I did the olive oil and lemon juice upon arising. 1/2 cup each and drink it down for gall stones. It was very hard to keep it down the first couple times. It did work.

  Fresh lemon juice in a little warm water, first thing in the mornig, is a good way to keep this system healthy.

  I aggree with Iamallcool , Healthy Healing is an excellent book.

  Hope you're feeling better soon.

  How do you deal with your "down" time?

  by compound complex in

  2. beliefs

  by that, i don't mean so much what you do in your leisure time but how you manage the freedom to choose what you will or will not do.

  off the wt treadmill, i no longer feel guilty about what is now my neglect of theocratic activity; however, after a nonstop week such as i have just lived through (barely), i am doing nothing, going nowhere, and accepting no new obligations (for the moment).

  i can stare at the sky, enjoy the beautiful day and not worry that demons are rushing to fill the void in my empty skull.. you?.

  Good eveing CoCo

  I dont unerstand the blackspot on the roses.

  I have sprayed them with natural and chemical Compounds and nothing helps. Nothing sadder than a leafless rose bush. This year I am cutting of any funky looking leaves and trashing them seperatily.

  Oh and I love Rodies. I love Rhodisain Ridgeback dogs too , but thats another story.

  What does faith mean to you?

  by exwhyzee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all memorized the definition of faith... faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for...yadda yadda.. it seems like more and more as time goes by and our scientific knowledge base grows, we need less and less faith and fewer things can be attributed to god.. do you think we need faith or is faith just a word we use to feel ok about being too lazy to keep looking for the answers ?.

  what does faith mean to you now?.

  the expression "JDUB"

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard the expression jdub coming out of the mouths of a couple of witnesses.

  does it mean they know stuff about this organization and could possible be visiting sites such as jwd?.

  this is leading me to believe that there are a lot more witnesses that have realized that their religion is a scam..

  Funny, I was thinking about this myself.

  I was talking to an ex-morman missionary and I said JDub as we were discussing our past experiances. He was surprized and said that's what his fellow Missionarie's called them too.

  This time of year its all about the Dead Heads. I love snipping them off. You need to cut them off at the pont in the stem with a five leaf cluster, not three, for proper new rose growth. Learned that last year.

  Drying herbs for friends and family. Just got to watch that darn neighbor cat that I caught spraying my nona's oragano. Oh, I think I'm turning into her. My Nona that is. But, that's a good thing.

  Waitning on the tomatoes is not as slow as watching paint dry, but close. But who cares when your catching some rays. I mean getting your vitamin D.

  Oh, and my private pleasure , a manicure. That I end up destroying in the yard, but I smell good....smile.

  It's so nice being off the rat wheel that was my old JW life . I can relax and not feel like I could be doing more. That Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Saturdays are not bad days. And I can give to UNICEF too.

  Hope all is well with you CoCo.
