  To me, if there is no Holy Spirit the father is not GOD. The thing is I am nearly an agnostic so I am not sure where that leaves me.

  Pendleton shirts and blankets are made in the US....

  tickets to a movie or a concert

  food gifts are fun and clutter free

  Magnalights (flashlights) are US made and good quality

  If you are crafty something you made at home is good but its too late to finish something so I have given IOUs for an almost finished item

  Back rubs are a favorite from my sweetie

  Love this recipe, my JW relative makes em to this day.... Bake them in a mini muffin pan cause they spread. I have a silicone pan and they just pop out. Chewy wonderful oatmeal cookies!

  A quote to brighten up your Monday!

  by SweetBabyCheezits in

  "once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing.

  that was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute.

  after nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die.. one might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature.

  Today is my 10th anniversary!

  by JRK in

  2. friends

  none of my three marriages lasted that long!

  today is the tenth anniversary of my being disfellowshipped.

  apparently i am much better at being disfellowshipped than being married.. i might end up getting married again someday, but i will definitely not return to the cult.. say amen!.

  Two years ago and no one suggested...

  Maybe if you get a Catholic Bible she can check the apocropha (Book of Wisdom).

  Music I've done: what's to like and not to like? You can help...

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  i have been looking through the almost two thousand music files i've composed/arranged/performed (or just "covered") and have tried to come up with.

  a listenable sample that almost anybody might appreciate.

  well, music tastes being as eclectic and personal as they are--it ain't an easy task.. if i post some links i'd like anybody willing to wade through these (in your spare time) and let me know which ones you like and don't like.. simple as that, okay?.

  hello everybody.. even thinking about typing this thread as i lay here in bed at 11.30 at night, is hard enough, but i found some sort of motivation to do it.. i dont expect a massive response really, i guess all i really want to do is empty my mind out and stop things whirring over and over.. i am worried for my brother (younger brother he is 23) he is in guernsey channel islands (uk) and is in and out of intensive care drugs etc an there are a thousand more strings attached.

  (drugdealers after him, homeless, jobless, about to go to prsion long story).

  its a worry for me as his older brother.

  I can't figure out why the double post.

  It does seem that the 700 club wins with the TV programing... So it does put the JW teaching method in perspective. If they follow the teaching of God wanting the world to be converted you would think they would be like the Catholics and EWTN. Of course then everyone would see that they are nuts.
