  Suspended Animation

  by leavingwt in

  mark roth, in an interesting 18-minute video, discussing suspended animation.. mark roth studies suspended animation: the art of shutting down life processes and then starting them up again.

  it's wild stuff, but it's not science fiction.

  induced by careful use of an otherwise toxic gas, suspended animation can potentially help trauma and heart attack victims survive long enough to be treated.. http://www.ted.com/talks/mark_roth_suspended_animation.html?awesm=on.ted.com_8csb&utm_campaign=mark_roth_suspended_animation&utm_medium=on.ted.com-twitter&utm_source=brizzly.com&utm_content=ted.com-talkpage.

  Many insects undergo suspended animation during winter. Their bodies go completely dry while their cell proteins are protected from dissication by special substances they secrete. Come spring they rehydrate and revive. Fascinating subject with little research done on it.

  The world is not the lethal place JWs want you to believe in. You are safe. You are OK. You have the wonderful opportunity of choices. Of positive possibilities. It will get clearer and things will become better. Give yourself time to adjust to this.

  Trust what you know, not what you fear.

  Sure, Scott may have shown her tits to strangers, but that is no reason to blow her off as a pastor. After all, as hypocritical as it is for mega churches to pay mega dollars to mega pastors, she still has as much right to the claim of “Christian” as Palin, Bachmann, Billy Graham or Obama.

  Having said that, have more pics of her neikeed?

  I maried an ex-JW. After getting married, she decided to get reinstated in order to re-establish communication with her parents. She has faded now from the borg and the inlaws are OK. This forum and Freeminds have been invaluable instruments for our education and strategy, as well as support.
