it begs the questions:.
how many on that bus were happy that they either didn't end up going to the convention or got there late?
(i would have been happy!!!).
Fire rescue workers helped passengers out through a back window of the bus, using a slide made of paramedics' back boards.
LOL I could just see those elderly sisters sliding down those boards in their dresses while trying to remain modest. Seriously, though I am glad that no one was seriously injured.

considering the past beliefs of jws & the new & improved current beliefs, some changes i can recall are: the cross, smoking, what is actually 'porneia', the end --->1914, no wait... 1935... we mean 1975... well what we really meant was by y2k... by the time this generation passes away, yada, yada.... also blood issues, organ doning, who will & won''t be resurrected- what others can you all think of?.
my question is this: if jws are led by god's spirit & the org is the true channel god is using, why did the 'light' need to get brighter?
why was is it wrong in the first place?.
Another change (but this was before my time) was no longer celebrating holidays and birthdays. Also the wonderful provision was allowed for the earthly class (since no more than 144,000 could go to heaven)
They feel that they just did not have the correct understanding before, that God reveals information in his own due time. I guess Jehovah enjoys confusing his people or maybe he just can't make up his mind.
The JW canned response would be, of course, not that the organization was ever wrong, but that God adjusted their thinking. Also they use illustration of tacking (ship).
You are so correct in asking this:
if JWs are led by God's spirit & the org is the true channel God is using, why did the 'light' need to get brighter?

Caring for your Pet Cockroach
HOUSINGAs most species of cockroach are good climbers a tight fitting lid is required with a good quality fine mesh to allow for air flow. For smaller and faster moving species access can be obtained via a cloth or mesh sleeve which can be tied tightly closed when not in use. The best method is to house them in a specially heated room, but for most people this is not possible, another alternative is to keep the cage in an airing cupboard. However the commonest method is to use a heatpad, these come in a variety of shapes and sizes and it is best to talk to your local retailer as to what you need, a good general estimate is that the pad should rest comfortably under the cage/aquarium so that two thirds of the cage is directly over the pad. This produces a temperature gradient giving the cockroaches some choice over what temperature they experience. The use of a thermostat can make things easier but it isn't really necessary for most of the commonly kept species.
The floor of the cage should be covered with wood shavings for leaf litter species such as Gromphadorhina portentosa or with peat for burrowing species such as Pycnoscelus surinamensis as well as a mixture of surface objects to offer hiding spaces, egg boxes and the inner from toilet and paper towel roles are excellent.
FEEDING
All known species of cockroach are omnivorous (this means that like you and me they eat nearly everything) though in captivity most species do well on a mixture of dried feed/grains etc. and fresh vegetables or fruit. I feed mine mostly on rolled oats and fruit like bananas and apples though they especially like over-ripe peaches and plums when I can get them. Although they don't need fresh food every day it is important that they always have enough to eat otherwise they will start eating the cage as well as each other.
BREEDING
As a general rule breeding will take care of itself, eggs are normally laid in an ootheca (natures answer to the polystyrene egg box). Some species will secrete these in the corners of the cage or other accessible nooks and crannies while others will carry the ootheca around with them, either inside or partly extruded from the body until it is time for the young to hatch. Some species are parthenogenic (the females give birth to other females only etc. etc. and no males are ever seen)

omg.
this is just wrong on so many levels.
thongs for young girls!
Major "wedgie" problem--those panties would drive my daughter insane.
I would never allow her to wear them anyways but I could see it now, her running around and trying to get rid of that damned wedgie at the same time...no thanx.
.
i would appreciate any input from residents of other nations for this homework assignment, as well as americans.. what do members of other nations really think about america, compared with what we percieve them as thinking?.
please help, assignment due tomorrow!.
it just dawned on me...you can't give someone the finger if you are wearing mittens.. this may be of little importance to some of you in warm areas, but this bothers/intrigues me.
if i wanted to flip a bird while wearing mittens the person i am sending it to would just think i am angrily waving at them, and then the padded wagon of doom would come.. would more mittens in our society qwell road rage?.
i was also pondering skipping...i haven't had a good skip in ages!.
My five-year old daughter just learned how to skip so now she skips everywhere she goes. I love it!
last night i was chatting with introspection and we breifly discussed chinese astrology.
i know a bit about it... .
look up your sign here -- and remember chinese astrology starts with the month february.

PERSONALITY PROFILE: Loyal, down-to-earth and intuitive. Under the Dog's seemingly unemotional exterior beats a puppy's tender heart. You work well with others, but you yearn to be loved for who you are -- not for what you can do for people.
Yep, sounds like me.
i've just spotted this on touchstone forum.
it's well worth reading:.
".....for anyone else that might want to comment, i will elaborate a little on the issue of grammar.
Thanks for posting that Englishman, definitely worth the read
