  JW directives you thought were downright stupid

  i remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.

  i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.

  of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.

  My earlist introduction to 'Life in Hel'l was over earpieceing.

  I wanted them done so bad, my best friend, since age five, had them and so did all her younger sister. Her Mom would do them herself with a needle threaded with dental floss. Her Mom was a strong woman and wouldnt think of asking anyone for permission, plus it was in her culture.

  Well, I wanted earrings , like my most favorite friend had , wanted them so bad. Even glued beads to my ears with Elmer's glue. About age 7 or 8 my mom gave in for some reason. My nonjw Grandmother and her Sisters were to pick me up and take me to lunch and have my ears done at a jewelers. Ears fist, cause I was so excited. A big event indeed. When we all met up to leave, my mom informed me and everyone else, that it was a mutilation and God said NO peierced ears. I creid like a baby. My Family was angry at my mom.

  Flash forward to early 70's , Im almost a teen, and us girls hear there is a letter from God, I mean the Society, saying it's now OK to pierce ears. My best friend was going to do the home version, ya, needle and dental floss. Well turns out there was no such letter.

  Flash forward 2 more years, a real letter from New YOrk Bethel was floating around all dog earred from use, and I had it in my hands. Low and behold, God now said it was OK, cause some ladies in the old testament and Slaves were intstuclted to have there ears or nose pierced.

  So off to the Jeweler.. Yippie ..

  Eventually my friend did do my ears, well one, as we callled it our 'Gypsy Ear'. But she showed me how, and I ended up piercing the heack out of my ears. Yes, I showed them, LOL. I have since removed them, ya just look silly at my age with too many piercings.

  Looks like a good summer read CoCo.

  Mr. Hayes has led unique and adventurous life, which I imagine, will add extra depth to this story.

  I must say, I sure hope I am still creating at 84 years young. He is an inspiration.

  Congratulations to Mr. Hayes.

  There's alot you can eat minus the meat and dairy. It is a fun challange and you have some great sugestions already Watersprout.

  If you freeze frim tofu it gets even firmer. I like to marinade it with some light tamari, grated ginger and garlic. Then coat the slices in seasame seeds, grill it hot like Talesin said, for a yummy sandwich. Or stuff it in a pocket bread with sweet marinated onions, cucumber, tomatoes and lots of tzatziki sause. Tzatziki sause is so good I will use it for a dip with anything even my finger...lol

  Pesto goes good on everything , even a baked potatoe. You can make a pesto from cilantro too, Alot of people in my area are using cilantro for medicinal purposes.

  Alot of Mediteranian area [Italy , Greece, etc.] dishes use no meat or dairy. INdian food too. ( yumm, dolmas, olives, wine. I hope wine is still on your talble ;-)

  If you can learn to make your own Dahl seasonings minus the ghee, try using mung or azuki beans instead of lentils. That and brown rice is very healthy.

  PLantanos con crema, minus the cream, ie platinos and yummy black beans. with a nice salald , use lemons instead of vinigers for a chamge.

  Have fun

  Chemtrails, Seeing is believing.

  before i begin, i want you to know i understand the difference between chemtrails and contrails, so lets leave those discussions behind, chemtrails exist.. what is the purpose of chemtrails ?

  if it was to artificially create clouds, why come to edinburgh ?

  for any of you who are unaware, 90% of the time its cloudy and rainy, so creating cloud cover, is a joke.

  bohm

  I have read up on this subject for years. I do have an opionion, and you wont agree with it.

  But I'm not going to get into any arguement over it. Notice my use of quotes. Maybe my palotas are not so big...;-)

  A part of me belives man is good, and something like this would never happen AGAIN.

  Peace out,

  For what it's worth.

  I see an Osteopath and a M.D. I'm a switch hitter...lol

  My Osteopath's Bio-Chemist friend in Washington State, noticed these unusual trails and decided to take a sample of the dust that had covered his car after a day of tic-tac-toe skies. He said he found alluminum, pestisides, 'manmade virises', and 3 perscription seditives. This is early 2000's

  I asked my MD about this, she said that the US in the 50's or 60's had done releasing of pathogines in magor cities across the US. But shook her head 'no', and looked at me crazy like to think that something like this would ever happen again. [No, not our open , honest goverment , they have our best interest at heart..my thoughts, not hers]

  As far as the releasing of pathogines on US cities by the US goverment, this is a fact.

  I do wonder, if it is true about the Chemical trails, why there isnt a huge outcry, and exposure of this. Maybe all the seditives and what ever else, is making us passive little sheep. [ j/k, 'casue some of us certainly are not passive, as this topic and discussion board has shown.]

  I do agree that these 'cloud' patterns are new. I thought it was a US thing, but while visiting France in 2002, they were there too. I know, WHO is involved.

  you can disassociate without even knowing it...very rare!

  this works well for elders who are cowards and want you out but dont really have a dfing offense to hang on you...even if you make no statement written or oral that you no longer want to be a jw they can say you quit jw.

  they can say that some actions of yours indicated to them that you have disassociated yourself and when that happens they are not even required to tell you there is a committee formed...so there is no reason to tell you a letter is going to be read and so you have no two week period to challenge their decision...but they do not even have to tell you why they reached the decision that something you did that made them conclude you have disassociated yourself.

  in fifty years i have never even known anyone who disassociated themselves...and have never even heard of anyone disassociating themselves without even knowing it!!!!

  It's not rare. It's been happening, that I know of, since the late 70's. It happens to minors too.

  I even know of a case were the person got off with private reproof, months later, after a CO visit, they anounced a DF with out even telling the person of their change of mind.

  Basicly they have had there eye on you, for obviouse reasons, and gotcha ya.

  Not much you can do about it, but make yourself upset or move on.

  Thinking about sueing is a what I call a 'revenge fantasy'. It sooths the mind from something you have no control over.

  Best to move on and quit banging your head on the wall. It's just a big waste of energy.

  Peace.

  our dc coming up this weekend, i hated them and the only thing that kept me going ,was the reward of booze at the end of each day.my then wife,zelous judgemental pioneer, you know the type,not only droned on about my drinking, but about everyones drinking, a real barrel of laughs not.

  anyway, one year we went to another dc, in newcastle, all seemed to be going well, until lunch.we went over to a hotel for lunch,i ordered my fresh orange and food, a few minutes later, the local jw,s arrived for lunch, they had all pr-ordered drinks,alcoholic drinks, and not one drink but many !!!

  they were buisy getting boozed up for the afternoon session,way to go, i was about to join them, when my wife told me " dont even think about it ", anyway she was outraged, but there they were ,with thier little convention badges, men and women, young and old, getting merry, they dont even do that here in scotland, !!!.

  In the late 80's to mid 90's it was alcohlol at my DC. But it sure made it hard to stay AWAKE! during that long afternoon session. Alot of extreme drinking after too. I was always surprised to see who even made it to the morning sessions on time.

  Mid 90's there was alot of was Xanax popping with Redbull chasers . Or if you were fortunate enough to sit next to the sweet, crazy, annointed sister with ADD, she passed out Ritalin like candy if anyone looked sleepy.

  Looks like your having some fun exploring your creative side too Noni. Good for you!

  Your faces remind me of Egytptain Pharohs. I really like them. They'll look good on book shelves, along side your text books, for years to come.

  The box with flowers is a very nice design.

  Keep up the good work Noni.

  It always makes me extra happy to hear about someone with our shared history going to Collage.
