I am 28 years old. I guess I could try to learn a skill. but I found someone I want to marry
You guess you could learn a skill? You guess? You are not highly motivated to learn a skill? Well, if you can only guess about bettering your life, you're completely screwed. Here's my guess. You're looking for a handout.
hidden dangers and accidents - uk
it is not just work machinery, falls from heights or big explosions that cause injuries.
in the uk around 4,000 people die in accidents at home every year, more than the number of people killed on the roads or at work and around 2.7 million a year turn up at accident and emergency departments looking for treatment.
5,000 flower pot injuries?
Who'd a thunk it?
i have had about 5 digital watches since my nde when i was young.
every single one of them reset itself regularly.
2 of them i gave away because of the problems i had, and their new owners (my father and brother) never had a problem with the watches since..
I haven't had the traditional NDE but I have been in two situations where I thought for sure I was going to die, one where I went unconscious, but no tunnel 'o light experience.
No problem with watches but I am extremely sensitive to cell phones or mobile phones. I " feel" them and can't stand to have a cell phone next to my ear. Since life necessitates having one I use a ear piece with a long cord or the speaker function on the phone. Two weeks I was reporting the deposition of a doctor who sat on the far end of the table away from me because he said the electrical field from my laptop was making him feel bad.

if some rich relative died and left you a fortune, what would you do with your life and why?
for starters, i'd tell the boss "take this job and shove it, i ain't workin here no more.
I want to visit Spaz when she is staying with the wild bears up in Alaska.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

Great quotes, Daystar.
From one of Anthony De Mello's stories...
"How shall I rid myself of fear"?
"How can you rid yourself of what you cling to"?
"You mean I actually cling to my fears? I cannot agree to that".
"Consider what your fear protects you from and you will agree! And you will see your folly".
ive been a member of this board for just over four years, and i have never posted an introduction.
i mostly stick to the "fluff" threads, because they are safe.
i wont be attacked for an unpopular point of view, or hurt anyone elses feelings.
Just another welcome, Gwynney!
i enjoyed this article about how the state of israel came to be and the history behind some of the present day conflict.. full article here:.

It was not only foolish, but sheer stupidity to create a brand new state out of nothing, without providing for the millions of people who already lived there.
I agree. As if the residents there didn't count for anything. No wonder the Arab rage.
Again, I don't see Israel as the paragon of virtue.
Neither do I. I reported the deposition of a US Airforce pilot who told me when they flew on recon missions near Israel they regarded Israel as a hostile. Israel has attacked our forces before off the coast doing surveillance on them.
I find their mistakes to be understandable considering the level of hostility surrounding them.
But what generated the hostility in the first place? Surely one can understand the Jewish desire for a homeland after the Holocaust, but not at the expense of kicking native inhabitants out of their country.
In my poor view, laying blame is irrelevent anymore and it's gotten (or should have gotten) to the point where the nations involved take the attitude of 'what is it going to take to resolve this conflict'.
Agreed, Chris. It seems like a chess game where the nations of the world are more interested in gaining some sort of political advantage rather than helping be a mediator of peace and healing in such a war torn area as a top priority.
My brother-in -law's brother and his new wife are trapped in Lebanon. We are worried for him.
i have been inactive from jws since 2003. i don't post here very much -- do more reading than posting.
but i just had to tell y'all that i got a one-page tract this evening which is an invitation to attend the deliverance at hand convention.. yes...the end is coming pretty soon because never before in jw history has an invitation or tract been distributed to a city not designated a convention city.. the end is also coming pretty soon because i was told at the convention there will be a lot of talks about noah and what he faced.. in addition, the end is very near because later on this year there will be several announcements coming from the society.
wow!
This evil man must be destroyed by Jehovah if peace is to prevail on the earth. He is pure evil incarnate! Evil I say!
okay, i used to be the guy with all the latest gadgets in fact i was the first bethelite i knew to get a personal internet account and the first to upgrade to a 14.4 modem (dating myself eh!!).
but for the past couple of years i haven't upgraded my home pc.
it has been primarily for my home based businesses (email, word, excel and powerpoint type stuff and casual browsing) so my faithful p2, 10 gig hard drive and cd reader (only) has been sufficient, but damn it i want to be able to do more!
I was positively addicted to Command & Conquer and all the sequels and related games, my favorite being Red Alert 2.
Over the years my favorites were:
Command & Conquer
Quake Delta Force Syndicate
Space Hulk
Rainbow Six - Ravenshield (teamplay)
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War ------------------ After swearing a blood oath that I would only play one hour a day and then watching the morning sun come up after playing all night, I gave up pc games. They really are computer cocaine to me and so I gave them up.
