  by jemba in

  i recently found myself on a gluten free diet and have never felt better, finally my health problems are solved, pity all those prayers to jeehooha didnt help me when i needed it.. now i am finding myself occasionally accidently 'glutened' and remember how crap i felt before.

  just another wonderful discovery ive made since getting out of the borg.. how have you found being on a gluten free diet and being gluten intolerant?.

  Since there have been billions of pages written outsode the bible i would hardly call it the collective wisdom of humankind, but i do find it quiet wise on many things, especially proverbs where that particular quote comes from :)

  My country is sick

  2. current

  this is a melancholy day for me.

  over the past few years i have been studying american politics and have enjoyed learning perspectives from different ideologies.

  i personally lean towards conservative values when it comes to creating legislature, however i am socially liberal.

  Ok so NC, i gotta ask: How exactly do you quantify the economy's recovery? A few weeks ago you pointed ou my observations are just that: my observations only, from my area only. Your daughter has recetly gotten a good job (congrats to her!) and many others seem to be doing ok in your area.

  So i determined to pay attention in a bigger sense, national stuff, not just local ancidotal evidance.

  The jobs report from a day or so ago was very bad, the numbers of people out of work for so long they stopped looking was shocking to me, and if i understand the number of jobs lost compared to numbers of jobs created, its a net loss during obamas first term.

  Thats what i quantify as bad econmic news and poor performance under obama. How would you quantify a recovery or good econmic news? Bear in mind (i say this for others not nessarily you) im not being a smart a$$, im really asking/seeking somethinggood to hang my hat on here...

  Interesting quotes from the Feb 15th Watchtower (it's not a cult at all, honest!)...

  by cedars in

  2. beliefs

  well it's the 15th today, so i thought i'd check to see whether the feb 15th watchtower has been uploaded yet... and sure enough it has.. here is the link to the pdf.... http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/5a/w_e_20130215.pdf.

  i've breezed through it and noticed that it is littered with odd stuff that would scream "cult!

  " to an outsider, but which your average indoctrinated jw will just lap up as always.. here is my pick of the quotes.... the first article, entitled "this is our spiritual heritage" gives a very flattering whistle-stop tour of the history of god's organization - from abraham to tynedale to rutherford (bypassing russell altogether) before explaining that nothing will ever thwart jehovah's purposes.

  All your posts should start with the byline:

  Cedars: he reads this crap so we dont have to!

  I find it absolutly sad and funny that they can say even a small amount of contamination polutes the whole. Hey, dumb asses... What is "new light"? Isnt that clearing out some poluted understanding? What about new light yet to be recieved? How much polution do we have currently that we are forced to accept?

  I hope divine radiation rots them all

  there have been rumors about this craft for years, as well as strange sightings.. in addition, over the past week, a tv show that was shelved for 2 years was quietly put on air at 3am.

  it claimed to interview a government employee who had detailed pictures of mars - far better than what nasa shows the public- together with testimony that the us has been to mars, using craft put together from technology gained from ufo crashes.

  Satanus, thats an incredible find! I cant believe something that old is all thats out there but i could find anything on a google search either. Awesome job! And im frankly supprised at the results. Looks like the end result was that g forces were cut in half via "proper positioning", whatever that means. Now i want to see something more recent

  Tesla was the freakin MAN! However i have perceived some of his claims to be more ego than fact... None the less he was light years ahead of his time and a genuis in every sense of the word

  "He who loves me will OBEY my commandments...

  by AGuest in

  2. bible

  to the household of god, israel, that is on jw.com, and all those who 'got with' them:.

  may you have peace!.

  because israel has, at this 'season' fallen asleep with regard to many 'things' that our lord, the son of god, jah-eshua mischa-jah ("jah saves"; messiah - "chosen of jah"), 'commanded' us to teach others (matthew 28:20), i am compelled by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies (psalm 68:4), that is in me, by means of my lord, to remind israel of one of such commandments.. on the night that he was put to death in the flesh, our lord gave a commandment, to which he stated "keep doing this in remembrance of me.

  The whole partaking thing is an interesting discussion in and of itself. I had determined that i should be partaking long ago but was unsure how i wanted to go about it, be it at home or at the actual memorial (prior to realizing the truth about the truth). I didnt mind the stares if i did it at the actual memorial, i susspect i would have been accepted as a dubbie annointed, but i didnt want the undue attention. It felt like it would have cheapened it to partake in public....Once i realized the truth about the truth i decided it was clear that ALL christians should in fact partake, since there is zero evidance of "two classes" or any other seperate hope. No where was any provision made that i could find for someone NOT to partake. Even in isreal, any who wantsd to be a part of the nation had to partake. The lengths the dubbies go to twist it is hysterical if you look at it objectivly.

  *full disclousure, i dont now partake since Thor dosent require it it, but Its a worthwhile discussion in the context of the bible and christian doctrine as it relates to dubbisium and our former cult membership*
