  I could rant on this all day.

  Money is an illusion (from the movie Blow)

  Keep in mind i'm speaking from the point of view of a person living in the USA.

  What does all that money get you? When the wealthy have all the money what are they going to do with it? At some point it becomes worthless. The average person will have to find other ways to fill their needs, farming, bartering or something else.

  Even so, at this point it seems like even the poorest people are better off than they were years ago when things were less unbalanced.

  It always amazes me when I see the cleaners in my office walking around talking on their $60 a month $2-300 smart phones.

  When I was younger we didn't have all the latest fasions, toys, cars, Mc Mansions etc..

  Does anyone else think that bitcoins or something like them might be what brings things back into balance?

  Purged songs of the Watchtower

  by LogCon in

  2. scandals

  my memory of singing the kingdom songs go back to when i was a child in the 1950's.

  they still hold a place in my memory and my heart.

  how can something that is so much a part of your childhood not stay embedded in your heart.?.

  16-20. we shall also have to raise up against him seven shepherds, yes, eight dukes of mankind.mic.

  what is the most important thing that you can do now to prepare for any future attack on gods people?.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. .

  I have to admit i pretty much stopped reading when they said the elders were the dukes.

  I know some elders that I thought were nice people and some I thought were sincere and even some that I considered friends but I never met an elder I would trust to have my back under any circumstances.

  On a side note regaridng the dukes of hazzard references, have other people been watching the reruns on CMT? yeeeee hawwww......

  Paleo Diet. What do you think?

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. physical

  i have been suffering from fatigue, burning in my stomach, and i have always had canker sore issues as long as i can remember.

  whether it's from stress or not, i can't say, but i might be getting an ulcer.

  the burning in my stomach and intestinal puffiness is getting to be be chronic.

  Would it be wrong for a dub to use this diet since it is based on evolutionary theory?

  I do think there might be something to not eating carbs and especially wheat. I did a low carb diet last year and honestly I hadn't felt that good in years. I downloaded Wheat belly from my library and found it an interesting book, not sure i'd pay more than a couple bucks to own it though. The writer goes over all the reasons wheat is bad for you and really unnecessary in our diets. It is one of the most manipulated “natural” foods in our supermarkets.

  For me bread is addictive and makes me hungry no matter how much I eat.

  One of the arguments against this type of diet is that it is hard to stick to but that has a lot to do with garbage foods being pushed down your throat (almost literally) everywhere in the media.

  While i’m no my rant against wheat, I find it odd that the US government recommends so many grains as part of a balanced diet. It's the only processed food on the food pyramid. I think we are using a "plate chart" now but wheat is still recommended as a big portion of each meal.

  Pray while driving

  by StopTheTears in

  2. friends

  i just finished a 2,500 mile trip.. something i regularly do is to pray for each and every church that i pass on such trips.

  if god in his providence has me passing a church, then surely it is important to pray for that congregation.. .

  the next time you pass a church, if this practice comes to mind, lift them up before the throne.

  Resurrection without a soul that survives death.

  by Pronger1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one thing (among many) that always bothered me about jw teachings is what happens to the soul when we die.

  sure god could be capable of creating a body and implanting it with all of our life experiences an memories.

  but how would not be a just a clone instead of being actually us?
