Meditation answered my vital questions!
by iconoclastic insome time back, i was listening to sara lazar, a neuroscientist at massachusetts general hospital and harvard medical school, one of the first scientists to take the anecdotal claims about the benefits of meditation and mindfulness and test them in brain scans..
that day i thought i should test meditation myself.
though i reaped many benefits (physiological and mental) over a period, what i want to share with you is the spiritual benefit i got.

blondie: I think they read the accounts report at the KH when there is a deficit... that's how they do it in our hall, at least. Otherwise, they just post it to the information board.
Oh, and don't you dare call it a bulletin board!

@ cappytan:
Approximately how many were there on Saturday for the baptism? In Cleveland, there were about 6,500 on Saturday and only 31 were baptized. Another interesting thing that I noticed during the baptismal talk were the video interviews. That is new.There were 6,300+, if I recall correctly.
At our baptism talk, the interviews were in-person...on stage.

God Announces Plans To Slowly Wean Humans Off Religion
by freemindfade ingod announces plans to slowly wean humans off religion.
the heavenssaying that the various belief systems had a good run over the last few millennia but that it was probably time for humans to get by on their own, the lord our god, he who is seen and unseen, proclaimed monday that he would begin slowly weaning humanity off religion.
religion was definitely helpful for humans when they first started out, but now it seems like its pretty much served its purposetime to take the training wheels off, said god, who argued that while the transition from religion might be difficult for a large segment of the population, ultimately humankind would be better off without it in the long run.

DOC is right. They don't read accounts reports at conventions.
However, at our's over the weekend, they did have an announcement about the "opportunity for all to express their generosity at the various contribution boxes and debit card stations throughout the facility."

Standing for Judge Okay - Standing for Anthem Wrong
by berrygerry infor decades before leaving, i always found this contradiction so hypocritical, and one of the harshest, emotionally damaging, things that this cult does to its young.

DOC is right. I've been baptized for 24 years, and as long as I can remember, it has never been against the rules to rise for the national anthem. -

Witness behavior in my gym ....
by SecretSlaveClass inabout two months ago two very attractive ladies in their mid 30's signed on at one of the gyms i belong to.
for a while i noticed them watching me and naturally i assumed they were taking an interest in how i went about training my clients since many do before they decide to approach me and inquire about my services (i own a health and fitness consultancy).. sure enough one of them approached me a few weeks back and asked me for a business card, inquired about rates and various other aspects involved with signing on with me.
i handed her a card and explained that my client schedule was full but she should consider signing on with one of my personal trainers who still had some open spots available.
