i tend to buy cars i like the look of--about 10 years old--and cheap. first i find out what the common problems are--and go for those that have been fixed--with bills to prove. after a year or so--i'm usually fed up with them--so if something goes wrong--and it costs more than say half what the car is worth--its tossed.

by FlyingHighNow inif you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?
top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.
not too expensive to maintain.

Fat Girls Guide to Life book
by love2Bworldly inanyone read the "fat girl's guide to life"?
i am reading it right now and finding it pretty interesting.
it makes me think outside the box a little bit about how much money is spent on products for people to lose weight, and how much money saturates the market and influences so much of the media.. the author's attitude is one i try to have-- exercise, be balanced in eating habits, drink water, take nutrition supplements, and don't obsess over dieting & what the scale says or about other people's judgements toward my weight.. right now, i already know why i am overweight-- i am eating to deal with my bipolar issues.

i'm delighted to say ive met Nugget & Cantleave (!! ) 's children on several occasions. they are very intelligent kids--and great company. i cant begin to imagine how they coped in those awful meetings. getting out of the cult is the best thing you could have done for them N. x

Why do the Governing Body do it ??
by Phizzy inwhen i was an active jw the constant demands for loyalty and obedience to the gb used to really annoy me, and mrs phizzy.. why on earth do they do it in such a shrill, screaming and obvious way ?.
they sound like spoilt kids, "you must play the game our way".. it was partly that constant harping that really helped me to wake up, i came to see just how much they had usurped the place of jesus.. surely it is counter-productive to do the demands as they do, loud and blatant.
they could get the same results with a seemingly humble attitude, after all, the new pope is the vicar of christ by title, but he comes over as humble..

i just think the watchtower society has its business plan all wrong.
why make the message appeal to the rank and file--so often the poorest in society---OK--these poor souls might like the new world dream--but most of them havent got a pot to piss in.
by relaxing all this crowd control nonsense--maybe the cult might attract more intelligent afluent types---and get higher value donations flowing in.
i wonder how this cult compares to the mormons in this regard.

i was certainly embarrassed when i was a dub--at school--not going into assemblies--laughing stock.
but--nowadays--its certainly a conversation piece---and its surprising how many other xdubs ive met along the way.

Mentally diseased...spot the difference
by punkofnice innwt revised 1984 1tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.
from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions,.
nwt revised 20131 tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.
