Is internet dating for losers?
by Newborn inafter almost a year of internet dating on various sites, i've concluded that it's not the place for me to meet the man of my dreams.
anyway, i'm happy i've given it a shot and i've gained lots of experience and even made a few male friends.
anyone here who's had better luck?.

It is like filling out a job application asking a bunch of questions that have nothing to do with weather you can do the job, and I would preffer to throw a job application into the ditch.
I do not know about for women but if I answer one from another area it is a scam artist nearly every time. Some times if I reply to one from a local area they lead you a little then say they are on a business trip to Africa and need some money to get back to the states.

People dont get disfellowshipped anymore
by foolsparadise inthey are announced as no longer being one of jehovahs witnesses.
why then do people still shun them if they are not disfellowshipped.
witnesses talk to non jws all the time, so we should be allowed to talk to members who are announced as no longer one of jehovahs witnesses.

People dont get disfellowshipped anymore is about like a drunk saying that he doesn't drink any more or any less.
Just thinking back when I was a teen, head shops could not sell you a bong or an ordenary marijuana pipe if you asked for it by name because of the laws. You had to ask for a tobacco pipe and then they would sell it to you.

Is mental illness actualy messages from god?
by highdose ini don't mean depression or somthing of that nature.
i used to work with patients who suffered from severe schiofrenia etc, they would claim that they were god, son of god, gods mesanger etc.. of course they were highly medicated and put in a place where they would be taken care of.
it was a rough section of the hospital to be put, in fact the chances of making it through a shift with uniform undamaged were silm and there was porters ( guards) behind each locked door.

Jesus turns water into wine...
by trueblue ini heard a story a long time ago that the bible is like a bottle of fine wine that everyone has been taking a drink out of and putting a little water in it so the bottle still appears to be full, but there has been so many people that have taken turns before us taking a drink of fine wine and replacing it with water that there is only a little bit of fine wine left in the bottle but there is still some fine wine in the bottle.. john 10:27my sheep listen to my voice, and i know them, and they follow me.. i was also told that in the pass that some rulers found that it was easier to control people by putting things in the bible, like putting in the bible that the people were to give a percentage of all there earnings.
it was easier to get the people to give them money if they believed god required it then to get them to give money because a man required it.
history is not my good subject so it is hard for me to determine weather this statement is true, but i have observed that people have at the very least altered the words in the bible to help you understand the bible according to what they believe.. any inputs?.

Well I have one example where I believe a ruler has been playing with words to get what they want.
Luke 22: 19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in YOUR behalf.
From what I understand is that the WTS is saying to do this once a year, and I fail to see were in the bible it say to do it once a year.
Luke 22: 21 “But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table.

It is a traumatic experience, of course you would experience depression. You may need some support to help you get over the shock before you develope PTSD.
PTSD seem to be my answer to things a lot lately but it wouldn't hurt for you to read a little about PTSD. Just google PTSD

No, I listen in my mind. I don't even talk, it is all through thought process. GOD places images in my mind in order to show me what HE means. GOD instructs me as I am doing my task at hand and even instructs me what to say when I am communicating with people. Some of it is forced by inspiration in order to accmplish what GOD intends.
That is great. I have no dispute with what you do. In fact, it shows that the Governing Body was lying when they claimed to be God's Only Channel TM , as God has a channel to you.
I do wonder that God does give us all thoughts and then we choose to do what we will to do with them, during concentration we choose what to do with the thoughts and mistaking the thoughts as being our own thoughts. Like light passing thru a spectrum and you can see all the colors. Our mind like a spectrum that knowledge passes thru and in the beginning Adam and Eve were not to use the knowledge of good and bad, but they did, and now the knowledge of good and bad passes thru all of us.
Just a thought
I did not mien to pick on SOM and I am sorry,
