Pinus radiata doesn't even make good toilet paper.
That is why Asaleo Care's papermill at Kawerau in New Zealand has to import woodpulp from as far away as Brazil. Only when the local product is blended with a generous amount of imported pulp can a half-decent tissue paper be made.
Otherwise, the bloody stuff grows like a weed!
i really don’t know of many people who got into therapy because of their jw dealings but i would think that if someone remains depressed or severely affected by their past witness life, it’s not a bad idea to speak to someone to get you on the right path.
i think this site has been very therapeutic for many over the years..
At the risk of sounding disrespectful, I would have thought this a rather obvious question.
Turning matters around just a little, I once knew a therapist whose clientele included a number of active JWs (ie ones who were at least physically still in).
This therapist observed that amongst her JW clients, abuse of women was a common theme.
the fact that the majority of the world jumps when you say 'god' is traced back to one guy.
constantine, this is the one man that made christianity the official religion rome thus masking the beliefs of people until the reformation a literal hell.. oh yes mohamed knew his teaching later.. when you say 'god' as if other people are supposed to be impressed you owe that to constantine.
not a mythical figure named jesus, .
Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome?
I seem to recall hearing such claims while I was a JW. However, it was in fact the Roman emperor Theodosius who did that. Constantine was well disposed towards Christianity, but only converted to it while in his deathbed. He certainly never made it the state religion.
i hope this is in the right area.
i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.
for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.
Something happened in 1975?
Certainly did!
Franz - just like Rutherford some 50 years earlier (i.e.1925 ) - “made an ass” of himself.
a man named a, j. miller, who lives in queensland, australia, claims to be jesus.
i saw it on a youtube video of "60 minutes australia, he was formerly a "jehovah's witness minister" according to the video.
he has bought a large tract of land, with the help of his followers.
That research paper purporting to be from the University of Hamburg definitely sounds suspicious. All the more so when a newspaper in such a prominently "theocratic" country as Pakistan even writes it off as a fraud.

We are not here talking about "some sort of religious belief system", along the lines of attending church at Christmas and Easter, plus the odd Sunday in between those events - but certainly not getting too bent out of shape over the matter of religion.
Rather, a common trait amongst the mentally ill is an extreme level of religious devotion - to the point of fanaticism and frequently even crossing that line. To some, that may sound biased, but persons who work day in - day out with the mentally ill cannot but observe certain common traits amongst their patients. This happens to be one of them.
(For the record, I have had extensive involvement with mentally ill people - experience I would rather not elaborate on).
israel retaliated and some are accusing israel of an “act of terrorism”.
evidently these rockets are trying to get to tel aviv but the dome is getting overwhelmed.. i wonder if the usa and other nations will come to israel’s defense..
But Palestinians have never had an independent country - the UK owned Palestine and divided it up for Palestinians (the West Bank) and Jews (Israel).
Actually, not quite correct. Following WWI and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Britain got to administer Palestine under what was known as a League of Nations Mandate - similar to how they were also entrusted with the administration of former German East Africa. (Similar also to how Australia got to administer all former German Pacific Ocean territories south of the Equator, and Japan all former German Pacific Ocean territories north of the Equator).
While the mandated powers tended to treat all such territories as their own property, legally these were "owned" by the League of Nations.
The proposal to partition Palestine into two countries - one Jewish, one Arab - was put forward by the League's successor, the United Nations. That came about after Britain announced its intention to simply abandon its Palestinian Mandate as of the end of May, 1948 (the prolonged guerrilla war waged by certain Jewish organisations made its further presence there untenable).
The "partitioning" that Britain carried out occurred very early during the Mandate period, when out of the Palestine Mandate, Britain created a separate country, "Transjordan" (now known as Jordan).
It is true, of course, that the Palestinians never had an independent country. For 400 years (1517-1917) Palestine was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Prior to that, it was always under the rule of some other Middle East power.

Those who work with the mentally ill are generally in agreement that persons suffering from that affliction often share three common characteristics.
For one thing, they tend to be obsessed with something.
For another, they often suffer from delusions of grandeur. The psychiatric wards house many a person who believes that they are Jesus, God, the Seventh Angel of Revelation, the granddaughter/grandson of the Russian princess Anastasia, or similar.
Also, most mentally ill people are also deeply religious.
That isn't to say all religious people are mentally ill. However, deep religiosity is a common characteristic of those who are mentally ill.
(I certainly have often enough observed all three characteristics at work. While working at a remote site in the tropics, I saw two work colleagues go insane in the space of two years - a condition often referred to in this part of the world as "Going Troppo", i.e. brought about by extreme work stress, plus the environmental stresses produced by the climate. One in particular exhibited all three of those traits).
the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.
One stanza of Carson Robison's old poem "Life gets Tejus" reads as follows:
Water in the well getting lower and lower,
Can't take a bath for six months more.
But I've heard it before and it's true i'm sure,
That too much bathing will weaken you.
So there you have it - overuse of soap and water is likely to weaken a person!
awake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.
So what?
Only that a lot of people got hurt as a consequence. Nothing much to worry about, though!
