Only if my parents let me, which they would have.
How lovingly they filled out the NO BLOOD card for me.
would you have not taken a blood transfusion or a transplant because the gb said it was bad?.
would you have imitated the jws in concentration camps and died for your beliefs?.

.and it's also known as new jersey.. although we now have a generator to heat our house and run the water, we abandonded ship tonight because of the snow/wind, and we're staying with family.
my work days run about 14 hours/7 days a week, and then i have school at night two nights a week.. brutal.. it's a nightmare out there.
still huge trees down all over, all utilities on the ground, and now snow and wind.
Ive been thinking of you all as the snow falls. Stay warm, stay safe.
hello, this is my first post and the first time i have told my entire story, albeit abridged, to anyone.
it will be a long story, sorry.. my grandparents were brought up with different religious backgrounds but converted to bible students around the depression era.
later, my grandfather met my grandmother through the congregation and got married until his death, having a marriage that lasted over four decades.
Hey Hill Country.
Cheers my dear! I hope you find love, happiness, and fun!
this is a melancholy day for me.
over the past few years i have been studying american politics and have enjoyed learning perspectives from different ideologies.
i personally lean towards conservative values when it comes to creating legislature, however i am socially liberal.
Sab: He said that his plans were the same "top down" economics that "got us in this mess in the first place.
Top down economics refers to an entire body of economic theory and practice, it is also called trickle down theory.
Here is a whole wikipedia about it:

My point Skeet is that Sab could contextualize the present with a deeper sense of history.
Everyone, including witnesses, like to paint things as in decline, when in fact we have moeved to more just policies. Understanding the extremism of the past is critical to understanding todays policies and inequalities. Even when a social wrong is corrected, there are lasting effects felt in the population, especially in the areas of economics and health.

Your country is just now falling ill, huh.
Interesting, I mean, I see it as getting better, mainly since it was founded on genocide, slavery, racism, misogyny, piracy.
And now:
Native American are not systematically murdered.
Slavery was abolished.
All races can vote.
Women too.
Alcohol is legal.
Do more research.
i am not huge into politics but i follow the american elections and kind of keep my finger on it.
i have my own strong views on sa politics.. i just want to applaud you, the american people for going about your elections in a very fair, democratic and peaceful manner.
it certainly came across very polished and well run.
Thanks LouBelle,
There are so may things I love about this country.
The food portions, the swagger.
This song grew on me the 8 times I heard it on the 4th of July.
Its very easy to learn the words and sing a long.
i was after any advice or suggestions about how to support a friend who was born and raised in the truth, my friend is now 22 and has tried to fade out but his parents are having a hard time accepting this, don't get me wrong i understand why they are, but the stress and pressure he is under is taking it's toll on him.. i have tried to be there for him as i use to study with the jehovah witness's some years ago but i don't think i can or will ever truly understand what it's like to be born into a family of jehovah witness, i understand why his parents are shunning him and they only talk to him when they think they have come up with away to get him to go back to truth.. .
i would like to hear any real life exsperances and how you where there and helped a friend deal with leavign the truth and accepting that your family will most likely never going to talk to you again.. .
.
stop calling it the truth! its the lie!
