  The D.O. gave some 'good' advice regarding the internet at the Assembly

  the d.o.

  gave us some really good advice at this weeks circuit assembly, he was talking about the dangers of the internet, he gave the usual warnings about teenagers meeting strangers or apostates, and dating websites.. but this time he also told the patents in the audience that there is software available which can monitor every website that is visited and everything that is typed on the computer, i was shocked, he was advising the parents to spy on their children, i suppose it might be ok if the child is 10yo but what if he or she is late teens, and they discover that their parents have spied on them, imagine how that will spilt the family, and for what?

  the cure is worst then the problem.. its simple a case of the wts being paranoid of the interent and they want no one on it..

  i was watching a 2004 (re-run) episode of average joe hawaii and larissa picked the handsome, muscular man over the loving, patient, understanding not so cute man.

  i'm not sure if you're familiar with the show but in it this beautiful model/actress has to choose between an average joe and a good looking guy.

  they started her off with 16 average looking men and eventually threw in 8 good looking ones to heat things up a bit.

  HELP ! UK - new law to allow one person to refuse blood for another

  mental capacity act 2005. does anyone know if the wtbts are doing anything about the new provision within the mental capacity act for a person to authorise another to make healthcare decisions?.

  this is a completely new concept for those of us in england, wales and northern ireland.. until now (well 1 october!

  ) an enduring power of attorney would only allow an attorney to be appointed to make decisions about finance.. under the new lasting power of attorney (mental capacity act 2005 s9) the donor (aged over 18 years) can appoint an attorney to make personal welfare decisions (ie healthcare decisions) on their behalf if they lose capacity to make the decision for themselves.

  Is it wrong?

  is it wrong to give people hope when they've been diagnosed with an illness that can lead to much pain and death if not treated successfully?.

  i ask this because i just got a pm from an angry poster over my posting the following link and info on an antibiotic that bbc carried the news in regard to and was being researched by camcer research uk: http://www.rense.com/general58/anti.htm.

  also, i noticed that mary replied with this link to yet another site that showed a study at a university in canada had turned up another cheap, safe drug that kills cancer cells: http://www.wanderings.net/notebook/main/cheapsafedrugkillsmostcancers.

  i know we were sold a lie in believing god was only dealing with the wt and to obey them is to obey god.

  what puzzels me is that in rejecting the wt so many also reject their belief in god.

  surely they believed that god existed as witnesses.

  Article on Origins of Xristianity I Wrote REALLY UPSET Local Christians

  i had an assignment to write a bunch of holiday articles that would be shared by all the various papers owned by the guy who owns the paper i'm the editor of.

  after i'd had enough with the usual holiday stuff, i decided to get a little adventerous and expanded one in the series to include, not just the origins of christmas foods, but also some ideas i've been reading and watching about the origins of the chrisitain religion itself.. this is a link to the article, which ran a few weeks ago: .
