good day,.
this week is the super special week of activity with one of our favorite jw celebrities...the circuit overseer!!!.
in last night's talk, he gave sooooo much encouragement...just hearing him made me want to fall to my knees and worship him!
ooops I think I piddled...
i wonder if some of you know the origin of the necktie?
i have sometimes heard people saying it's a fallos-symbol, but is there a valid background for this?.

My ancestors brought it to France
A cravat, symbol of culture and elegance, is associated with Croats. They have not actually patented it, but they spread it as an accesorry across Europe in the 17th century. Then it became and, to this day, remained a necessary article of clothing under the name of Croatia.
What is the histoy of the cravat? After Turkish attacks, the Croatian Military Boreder was formed and its soldiers were an inexhaustible source for other European battlefields. They participated in the German Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and they were easily recognized because of the scarves around their necks, a predecessor of the cravat. From 1635 Croatian soldiers also served in France and in 1667 a special regiment named Royal Cravates was formed. Common soldiers wore scarves made of coarse materials and officers wore scarves made of fine cotton or silk.
These neck scarves were a part of Croatian battle dress and a kind of identification because uniforms did not exist at the time. It is known that the French king Louis XIV was involved in secret negotiations with counts Zrinski and Frankopan in order to get Croatia under French patronage. That failed, but the Sun King started to wear a cravat because it was more practical and more beautiful than the starched high-lace collar the French used to wear. When the most powerful European king put on the cravat, a new fashion style became popular. The court even employed a cravat-maker (cravatier) who delivered a few cravats to the king on a daily basis so he could choose the one that suited him most.
I think it's a terrible thing when someone dies like this, no matter who they are. I also think that way too many people forget that just because everyone knows a person's name that they cease to become human - and that's the real tragedy. This woman had an amazing voice, no question about that, but more importantly she was a human being with feelings and failings like the rest of us. When we become a society that recognizes and appreciates talent but remembers that famous people are people, I'll feel like we've advanced as a people.

despite being an open atheist amongst lots of religious people in my life, i have never been accused of doing this and i have never heard this saying attributed to my choice... appart from here.. i thought it would be best to clarify why i (and i assume others) decided to leave the bible behind after leaving the wt society.. realising the wt society was wrong desroyed my world, for me it meant so much.
i had given so much to it too, it just had to be true!
I love it when Tec gets feisty ::giggle::
"i contend that we are both atheists.
i just believe in one fewer god than you do.
when you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why i dismiss yours.
kk, i've had a small plantar's wart on the bottom of my big toe for a looooooong time.. recently, it started getting bigger and more painful.

I think Tec pointed out the contradiction already...but hey it's all good. And I'm not in a bad mood, just edgey. :)
I'm actually not sure whether Jesus really existed or was an amalgam of a general feeling in factions of the populace at the time. If he did exist, I don't believe he was the way the gospels describe him. So no, I don't believe his words were preserved either I guess.
