  I think humanity won't be able to feed itself because in the places that are growing more food, the population isn't as high, and the people are fed properly.

  However, in places like India and Bangledesh, there's an overpopulation problem and they need to curb it before they can't feed their people.

  Also too, as a side note, Africa can't grow any food because all of it's citizens are dying of AIDS.

  The Bush administration has decided that people with bad hearing have bad judgment, too, and need special guidance from the federal government.

  Ummm.. this isn't Bush's department. Him nor his cabinet even touches anything involving the education dept.

  this is why it's a bad idea to have the government pay for things. Whoever pays the bills makes the rules (except for tax payers of course).

  Which is why I was shocked and somewhat annoyed too when I found out the federal government is paying to CC TV and movies.

  Shaky Basis for Beliefs

  by donkey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am constantly amazed at believers.

  they are impossible to argue/reason with as their basis for their positions is not founded on logic but on desire and emotion.. for instance, i was having lunch with a colleague and the subject of human cloning came up.

  we spoke specifically of the south korean scientists who have now cloned human embryos for the purpose of stem cell extraction.

  My basis for the belief that stem cell research is wrong is because it encourages eugenics and can lead to the dehumanizing of perfectly healthy embryoes for monatary gain.

  http://www.cnn.com/2004/tech/ptech/02/17/polaroid.warns.reut/index.html polaroid warns buyers not to 'shake it'.

  london, england (reuters) --outkast fans like to "shake it like a polaroid picture," but the instant camera maker is warning consumers that taking the advice of the hip-hop stars could ruin your snapshots.. outkast's number one hit "hey ya" includes the "shake it" line as a reference to the motion that amateur photographers use to help along the self-developing film.. but in the "answers" section on the polaroid web site, the company says that shaking photos, which once helped them to dry, is not necessary since the modern version of polaroid film dries behind a clear plastic window.. the image "never touches air, so shaking or waving has no effect," the company said on its site.

  "in fact, shaking or waving can actually damage the image.

  "lay it on a flat surface like a Polaroid picture," doesn't sound nearly as cool.

  I think I like that phrase better :)

  One thing about the psych ward that I haven't found in my family are actually a group of people who would care for me unconditionally and they're not judgemental. They attribute my feelings of depression for what it is. A disease that needs to be taken care of, not a "spiritual weakness".

  Actually, when I was at the ward, they suggested for me to go on disability, and it's probably coming, so I actually do have a glimmer of hope in getting out of that place, so a source of income and a place to live is probably in my future.

  You know what they say, Jehovah blesses people in dire straights, lol!

  A few months ago, I was sent to the mental ward. Why? Well, this is how it happened.

  My mom started barking at me for quitting my last job, even though she knew at my last job, I had to go to the psych unit for lockup because I broke down on the job and I couldn't keep it. Previous to that incident, I lost my father. I told my mom how she shouldn't be barking at me and my brother heard me telling her that.

  He proceeded to beat me. I told him while he was beating me "A true witness shouldn't try something like this." He tried to choke me to death after I said that. After my mom broke it up, he decided to take me to his car and go job hunting with me.

  He then proceeded to put me in the car, acted like nothing went wrong and even gave me words of encouragement.

  I however, didn't share his veiwpoint, and I called the police and his elders on him the next day. My mom then proceeded to tell the police that I was experiencing mental breakdown from my dad's death (Probably just to save the name of "Jehovah".) and how I should be shipped into a psych ward

  I was then put into the psych ward. As soon as I got in there, I saw a woman JW. I'll mention more about her later on. But anyways, I asked to be moved to another unit, because I didn't want to see anything JW around me. But then I saw a nurse that went to my old congregation, and I decided not to move units again, and just stick there.

  When I got out, I heard from relatives "This is what you get when you go away from Jehovah."

  Yeah, I almost get killed by 2 family members for going away from Jehovah, I get sent to the mental ward for going away from Jehovah. I couldn't even grieve normally at my dad's funeral because I went away from "Jehovah" and people were bombarding me with "You will see your dad again in the ressurection if you stop thinking in your apostate ways.".

  Oh, and about the lady that was in the psych ward with me that was a JW? She thought she was having a demon posession and she had to be locked up.
