  What does 100 calories look like?

  by jgnat in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  have you ever marvelled, as i have, at the marketing genius that sells us less food for more money?

  the marketer who came up with the "100 calorie" packaging ploy deserves a consumer's medal.

  i am recording my own 100 calorie snack wonders, that are balanced for a diabetic (carb, protein, and roughage).

  jgnat you diabetic then ?

  I have to do physical things, else I don't get up an appetite. (When I was younger sister thought I had eating disorder, anoerixic)

  Have no sense of smell, not a foody person, bland stuff does me fine. ( just the basic meat, spuds and gravy )

  When I went to work on a farm, I built up muscle. (proper man muscle )

  I did get fat twice, once was when I was pregnant with my son, oooh, that was hard going. Second time was after an accident I had, immobilised me.

  Did not like being overweight at all ( only the larger bra size was brill, lol )

  I think most of it's down to genetics and breeding. But in this modern era, food additives and chemicals have a huge part in obesity, ill-health.

  I have a theory that baby foods and formula's have something to do with it too.

  Global Cooling

  by Jomavrick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?

  pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.

  then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.

  Urban air quality worsened during the Industrial Revolution 'an age of smoke'.

  After world war II a number of invisible threats began to emerge.

  Acid rain

  Photochemical Smog

  Ozone depletion

  Climate change.

  Air pollution - most sources are the result of human activity

  Shift from fuelwood to coal then to oil.

  CFC's didn't exist before the 20th century.

  Outdoor pollution only became a magor issue with the rise of cities.

  The data from artic ice cores shows that the cumlative deposition of copper pollution in the northern hemisphere was much greater before the industrial revolution than after.

  Just a little info there for anyone who wants to read the it further

  Can't help with the calories I'm afraid. One of them types that can profusely eat anything and everything.

  i was listening to some southern radio preacher giving his sermon.

  he was talking about the need to sell out to god and not just say that you love god but prove it.

  he then said something that made me laugh - he said " a wife doesn't prove that she loves her husband in the parlor, she proves her love for him in the kitchen".. now i find that hilarious for a couple reasons, what do you ladie's and gents think??

  I don't know about them 'turning on religion' in the WT.

  But i do think we are going the way of people getting sick of religion and governments stripping them of their power.

  Which i think would be welcome.

  Full seperation of church and state.

  Especially now what with all that is going on with the fundamentalist stuff.

  we take all allegations of a sexual nature extremely seriously and understand how difficult it can be for victims to have the confidence to come forward.. as a constabulary, we are committed to investigating sexual offences sensitively but robustly recognising the impact that these types of crimes have on victims.. we would encourage anyone who has experienced sexual abuse, or who has information about it, to have the confidence to report it to us knowing that we will take it seriously, deal with it sensitively and investigate it thoroughly.. a spokeswoman for lancashire constabulary: " .

  When victims see these high profile figures being brought to book, it may give them the courage to come forward.

  I was a Jehovah's Witness in a different religion

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  i recently had a very long conversation with my mother, about what jehovah's witnesses teach and believe now.

  while i could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion i once called home.

  more often then not, i had to come to a extreme conclusion.

  The Greek Word Parousia! How should it be trasnslated?

  by wannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the greek word parousia!

  how should it be translated?.

  i say, that because it can be applied to presence; which the governing body who does have an ax to grind, would jump on; and apply it, as they have to the thirteen occurrences, where it appears in their new world translation bible.. as i said, it can be applied to their teaching that the christ was invisibly present in the year 1914, but according to the information i found, that application is incorrect.

  Data-Dog I did a post recently.

  On the Misapplication of Mtt and Signs of Jesus return. ( signs-Jesus has the scripture been mis-read)

  Some of the more knowledgeable ones gave some very good info on it.

  Thank you for bumping this post. It never entered my mind that WT aare possibly being devious and intentional about it.

  Yes Simon. GETTING people to care.

  Why do jw's, ex-jws think they are so important on the world scene that everyone or anyone actually cares about them.

  When you have terrorists, fanatics, fundamentalists on the loose. Jw's is a spit in the ocean.

  They are not experiencing anything other than what many others in the world ( religion or no ) have suffered, sometimes much worse.

  Unless someone is directly affected by something in their ppersonal lives, they generally do not care.

  Watch the news people. Is anyone really going to give a second thought to jw's compared to what's going on at the moment on a global scale.

  People are more worried about the potential of another war.

  The child abuse scandal is major leverage, because of what it is.
