  Nostalgia for Family Past

  by jgnat in

  1. social
  2. current

  there's a conservative element that is yearning for an ideal that never was; the nuclear family with mom in the kitchen, pop putting in his 9 to 5, and two-and-a-half children.. .

  the closest america got to hitting this "ideal" was in the fifties.

  families move out in to suburbia, college-educated women set aside career ambitions in search of domestic bliss.

  jgnat so true.

  A man's system of control, patriachal society, patriachal religion, who exactly put them in charge

  and gave them authority to rule and dictate to us how we should live our lives.

  Why do you blame Jehovah's Witnesses for false predictions ?

  by Phizzy in

  when you read the pseudapigraphical 2nd peter chapter 3 and other nt writings about the parousia and how close it is, or why it hasn't happened yet, why is it a surprise that the wt/jw's get it wrong all the time ?.

  if those early chrisitian writers could make totally false claims, and yet their words are supposed to be "inspired of god", why is it so wrong that the wt/jw's do the same ?.

  cut 'em some slack fellers, the wt may be false prophets, over and over, but they are in good company..

  I read a very interesting article on the Parousia and the real meaning. Not what I thought at all. Quite the opposite.

  being very interested in psychology i read a book as a teenager and re-read it last year called " gestalt therapy verbatim " by frederick perls m.d.

  ph, d. .

  it deals with dreamwork therapy in which he conducted seminars helping people to re-connect with subconscious parts of themselves by recounting their dreams .

  lol, good stuff.

  nostlagia, for me, of family past is way different to the american shows.

  It is memories of being out in the countryside, ponies and nature, adventures, activities, imagination and make believe,

  of animals, hunting, fishing, shooting, making jam, fresh home baked apple pie.

  Of picking wild cherries and making jam, picking buckets and buckets of blackberries to sell for cash, lol.

  fond memories.

  Nice tid bit for those JW's that say Catholics are NOT Christian

  by sinis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in fact, it would seem that christianity was from the very beginning catholic... hmmmmm, how they fail when it comes to history.... .

  "the earliest evidence of the use of the term catholic church is the letter to the smyrnaeans that ignatius of antioch wrote in about 107 to christians in smyrna.

  exhorting christians to remain closely united with their bishop, he wrote: "wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever jesus christ is, there is the catholic church.

  Depression & natural ways to deal with it

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was on prozac for about 10 years, and finally went off all meds about 18 months ago.

  the prozac was causing me to have manic episodes, so they added a bipolar medicine as well as a sleep aid, and the bipolar medicine made me dizzy & nauseaus.

  so now i work really hard at exercising regularly, i take a lot of natural supplements including natural lithium & megadoses of omega upon advice of a homeopathic doctor.

  Marijuana, best thing ever for me.

  I couldn't sleep unless I had 7.5mg strength tablet, every night. Was on 60m Citalapran anti-depressents.

  And suffering low level chronic pain.

  Once I started having a smoke. Sleep, relax, eat, pain relief,think, meditate, laugh.

  All the good emotions started to 'come back' and gradually I got stronger.

  Got off the fags, got fitter, put on weight, got off all the meds, got back into work, rarely smoked pot, at night before bed.

  Now, I'm back where I started again, lol, (hate my ex-hubby to be, freaking pig)

  100mg Lustral. Painkillers, stress, back on the fags, (roll up tobacco) life is a see-saw again.

  thank god for a tote, it is instant relief.

  Vitamin b12 complex taken regularly is good for stress and depression. Also check out 'Super - foods' for general health and well being, you will be surprised how, what you eat, does what to the body.

  jgnat - excellent thread

  Lately, I have been getting intense feelings of nostalgia.

  So many things/reminders from my childhood, happy things, the simple little things that made growing up fun, and created memories.

  Women have been subjucated by men for thousands of years. Thank goodness, we have managed to break down most of those barriers.

  There is an old saying 'it takes a community to raise a child' I think that is so true.

  It just feels like I'm 'feeling' things and 'thinking' things that were, I dunno, shriveled up and dried out,

  now they are getting food and water, they are coming back to life.

  Interesting Genetic Research Published on Dog Evolution

  by cantleave in

  some interesting work has been published this month in nature and reported in various blogs and journals.

  it is work that gives more evidence to support the fact of evolution.

  a team of swedish scientists led by evolutionary geneticist erik axelsson from uppsala university have identified genetic changes that could have been responsible for the transformation of wild wolves, into the ancestors of our beloved pet dogs.

  I just want a divorce!

  hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.

  fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".

  however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.

  ps - keep everything for you own personal records, your original letter, keep it, put it in a box, you may never look at it again, you may never need to.

  But, you may too, from time to time, take it out, find a quiet place, and read it.

  It will stand to you, as a constant reminder, to never allow anyone to do it to you again.

  good girl

  peopel do not realise how poweful it is to just sit down with pen and paper and 'start' once you start, it grows naturally.

  there is so much locked in the subconscious, you have to draw it all back up, for ammunitition.

  Do not, Do not, Do not, go soft, do not get 'weak' you have to be made of steel until you get through this, he will try anything to take you down.

  so be strong, and show no mercy, this is business, not philanthropy.

  you go kick some hunni buns girl
