i was just doing dishes not really thinking about anything in particular, and all of a sudden this experience came flooding back and i started crying.. a few years ago i went back to one of the states i lived in to see/visit my friends (before i learned ttatt, i was still a happy borg at this time).. the friends i were staying with had two young girls, one was 3rd grade and the other was preschool.
so one day the father comes home after picking up the older girl (i think she was 7, 8...i'm not sure exactly this was several years ago) and she was all red and looked like she had been crying.
i noticed she had some blue at the corner of her mouth.
wha happened: " they might as well save up to pay for their children's therapy "
The dubs have that covered too. They discourage anyone from seeking mental health care. So that poor kid will be messed up for the rest of her life.
This is exhibit "A" for taking a nice normal kid and turning her into a neurotic dub.
Bastards.
now i understand what is happening to the wt.
i understand why my grandparents , mom and dad was.
more intelligent then i. lol.
Maybe Kurt Vonnegut was right -- In his novel "Galapagos," after a nuclear holocaust, the few surviving humans devolve into furry seal-like creatures that return to the sea to catch fish.
if so, does it work?
i've been reading up on it and i am curious as to how it works.. .
Shirley: Is "white magick" different from "white magic" ?
Wiccans often use the term "magick" to differentiate it from the "magic" of illusions performed by a magician.
if so, does it work?
i've been reading up on it and i am curious as to how it works.. .
White magic is like prayer but without the middleman (God, Jesus, Allah, whoever).
It's the direct sending of one's beneficial will into the ether using a somewhat formalized ritual (casting a circle of protection, calling on the "power" of the four corners -- North, East, South, and West, and other rituals that depend on the particular form of Wiccan belief).
Margot Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon" thoroughly explains what Wicca and white magic is all about, if you're interested.
Do I believe in it? No.
i have always wondered who will be raised first people such as noah, job, enoch, etc; or people who die right before armaggeddon?
if noah, job, are raised first would not they be terrified with all of the modern inventions they will see such as cars, airplanes, clothes, watches, tvs, radios, and all of the modern technologies.
also, if people lived to 900 years back then would not methusalan be shocked if a person raised tells him they were only 20 years old when they died?
That question is like asking whether unicorns prefer blue glitter of pink.
The whole idea of resurrection is preposterous.
the roman catholic church (rcc) religious leaders wear ridiculous clothing.. wts elders wear ridiculous cheap suits.. .
one can wear a beard and still be a priest in the rcc.. one can wear a beard in the wts, but never be an elder with one.
it's bible-based(tm).
I can't decide which are more creepy -- the similarities or the differences.
vincent toole, solicitor for the jehovah's witnesses, said the fact that the church got working with children checks had nothing to do with steven unthank, whom he suggested was behind the court case.
''we find it disappointing that he continues to misrepresent our organisation.''........
....''jehovah's witnesses abhor child abuse, and place the protection of children at the highest level,'' he said.. .
"'Without mandatory reporting we don't feel that as ministers of religion that's our obligation to do that,' Mr O'Brien said."
Translation: "We'll damn you for growing a beard, but if you molest a kid, you're okay. Just be sure to terrify the kid enough so he/she won't say anything."
Cowards, hypocrites, and liars.
How can any dub read that and still think the dubs have the "Truth"?
the american pain foundation has closed its doors due to lack of funding and a growing hostile environment towards those who suffer with chronic pain.. with deep regret and heavy hearts, we sadly inform you that due to irreparable economic circumstances, apf must cease to exist, effective immediately.
on may 3, 2012, the board of directors formally voted to dissolve the organization.. the board and staff have worked tirelessly over many months to address a significant gap between available financial resources and funds needed to remain operational.
unfortunately, the economic situation has not changed in any meaningful way, despite our best efforts.. apf hopes to be able to transfer content from various information, education, and support programs to other organizations so that you may continue to benefit from the value these programs have provided to thousands of individuals and families across the country.. your personal experiences in living with pain and seeking compassion, empathy and medical care often against the odds -- have driven our efforts over these many years.

Not if you need them to manage pain.
health care studies are showing obese body weight index is worse than smoking "death sticks", so how is the tower going to address their growing problem of overweight elders and elderettes?
if a organization is able to disfellowship a member for smoking, why not do the same with other vices and crutches their people use to hide stress, emotional disorders and depression?
employers are asking for a bmi test a their potential employees to create a diet to get healthy.
free2beme: "... when you see a person that is morbidly obese, think to yourself ... these people are weak, losers, and need help! Not pity and not government assistence... of course, when you do see them remember to move to the side to avoid the skooter hitting you as it goes by. "
Remember these words when you get old, sick, or become addicted to something. I hope they come back to haunt you.

JWOP: From "Shepherding the Flock": "Gluttony is determined, not by size, but by his attitude towards food."
And how in the world do they determine the "attitude towards food"? What does that even mean? Does it mean that a skinny, sick "gorge-and-purge" anorexic can be tossed out of the flock? Do they really think that they can judge someone who they deem has a "bad attitude towards food," but who in fact is deathly ill?
BTW, JWOP, I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking the book.
Imbeciles.
