I remember a talk years ago on meditation. The speaker demonized it of course comparing it to drug and alcohol abuse. He noted that changing only one letter in the word made it medication.

by Star tiger ini've been looking into the idea of meditation as of clearing some of my bad thoughts about my jehovah's witness past, will it help remove all the crap that gb drilled into me, but it seems like a different outlook that i hadn't considered, and maybe open my third eye,lol !!!!.
any suggestions or experiences would be most welcome.. best regards,.

Chemtrails, Seeing is believing.
by pedal power inbefore i begin, i want you to know i understand the difference between chemtrails and contrails, so lets leave those discussions behind, chemtrails exist.. what is the purpose of chemtrails ?
if it was to artificially create clouds, why come to edinburgh ?
for any of you who are unaware, 90% of the time its cloudy and rainy, so creating cloud cover, is a joke.

9/11 study: Air traffic affects climate
August 07, 2002 | Richard Stenger CNN The thin wisps of condensation that trail jet airliners have a significant influence on the climate, according to scientists who studied U.S. skies during a rare interruption in national air traffic after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
During the three-day commercial flight hiatus, when the artificial clouds known as contrails all but disappeared, the variations in high and low temperatures increased by 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) each day, said meteorological researchers.
While the temperature range is significant, whether the jet clouds have a net effect on global warming remains unknown.
"I think what we've shown are that contrails are capable of affecting temperatures," said lead scientist David Travis of the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. "Which direction, in terms of net heating or cooling, is still up in the air."
In many ways, contrails behave in the same manner as cirrus clouds, thin high-altitude floaters that block out solar energy from above and trap in heat below.
As a result, they help reduce the daily range in daytime highs and nighttime lows. Contrails, by providing additional insulation, further reduce the variability.
With air traffic growing and contrails becoming more prevalent, the natural variation will further decline and could disrupt regional ecosystems, some scientists speculate.
Certain trees, crops and insect species depend on specific daily temperature variations for their survival.
In some ways, contrails differ from their natural brethren. Cirrus clouds let less heat out than in overall, producing a net increase in the Earth's temperatures, according to climate scientists. With contrail clouds, they said they are not so sure.
"Contrails are denser and block sunlight much more than natural cirrus clouds," said Travis, who with colleagues reported the findings this week in the journal Nature.
"And contrails are much more prevalent when the sun is out," he said. "When this is factored in, there is a possibility that they offset global warming, and this is what we are trying to determine now."
The researchers plan more studies to tackle that question, but they said they expect to rely on circumstantial evidence only.
"We can only hope that the September 11 tragedy never happens again," Travis said.

Why was Eve's eyes not open when she ate from the tree?
by puppie069 ineve was the first to commit the sin regarding the tree?
why wasn't she the example of gods judgement?
why was adam brought into the sin.. if she ate first, why wasn't there judgement at that point?

You can pick up a video card with an HDMI output for less than $40. You can run any of the programs that Roku offers using just your computer (including Youtube which isn't available on Roku yet). The Roku and other systems like it offer ease of use with their own menu etc. You'll have to search for the programs you want to display with your computer and design you own menu.

Hi folks,
I 've been a member of JW net for several years but for some reason I hadn't been able to log in under my original board name and password (chappy) and couldn't get it corrected so I gave up for a while. As you can see my new board name is Jack C. (my actual name is Jack Chapman). I may try to change it in the near future as I discovered there's another member with very similar credentials (JackC) and I don't want to cause problems for him. I have always come back to read what's new on the board and found that I couldn't resist participating any longer! Hope I'm still welcome! I'll put info about myself and former Cong. in the members section as soon as I can. I've learned quite a bit of interesting information since I've been gone and hope to share as much as I can with all of you friends. Got tons of questions as well. Every one have a happy 4th!
later,
Jack
