if suddenly, we stopped posting here, would you feel a loss?
i think of persons such as amazing, maximus, hillary post and others that either suddenly decided to stop posting or just really, can not.
do you really miss persons that are no longer regulars here?

Stay Strong, J. Just picture them standing there in their underwear. Works for me.
most of us have now learned to live with voice mail as a necessary part of
our lives.
have you ever wondered what it would be like if god decided to install voice mail?

well i just got my blood work done, it was way over due , it has been three years.
it came back good on the sugar, but bad on cholestoral...... and very , very bad on triglycrides.
my family on dad's side, everyone has trouble with this from a very early age, and all of them have to be on meds even thou they changed diet, lost weight, and exercised.
Hi Lyin Eyes; My neighbor has been on a statin drug to lower her cholesterol and her Dr. told her to include Co-enzyme Q-10 as the drug eliminates this good enzyme in the liver. Long term use of statin drugs, he said, can lead to sudden heart failure without the protective effect of CoQ-10. He suggested 30mg a day for her. Also, garlic lowers cholesterol, odorless garlic works just as well. You get to keep your friends! Warrigal
My husband used to help me train the dog. His job was to put a treat on the target plate to which I would send the dog and she would get her reward. His title was "Bait Master"
At a regional agility trial, he proudly announced that he was the Master Baiter.
That really rubbed me the wrong way...... Warrigal

one day they will find ousama, and they will ask, "where have you been laden"?
who has a joke to tell?
This one appears now and then in the local dog club newsletter:
DOGGIE PROPERTY LAWS
1. If I like it, its mine.
2. If its in my mouth, its mine
3. If I can take it from you, its mine
4. If I had it a little while ago, its mine
5. If its mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way
6. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks like mine, its mine.
8. If I saw it first, its mine
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If its broken, its yours.
i am sure this topic has been brought up many times here but i don't always have the oppertunity to read all the posts so i am going to raise it again.. i went to the meeting the other day with my wife and this came up in the talk.
the speaker saying how improtant it was to have the right bible to get the most out of bible reading.
the right bible being the nwt of course because it uses the divine name which we all know is jehovah...or yahweh.
I agree with Farkel....if the prayer that Jesus prayed is counted as the "model prayer" then we shouldn't presume to use the personal name of God, whatever it is. I personally prefer Heavenly Father or Great God. Warrigal
just thought that i would introduce myself to the bb.
i'm not too informed about the jehovas witness program but i did study a bit a few months ago.
hoping to get back into it.
Greetings Shannara and a warm welcome to you. This is the place to have your questions answered. Please tell us more about you. Warrigal
the following is a message that bill bowen e-mailed to everyone on the silentlambs mailing list on january 20th 2003 (bold was added by me):.
who pays for child abuse?.
by bill bowen, founder of http://www.silentlambs.org.
As the elders are often the first ones to deal with the victim and the accused, perhaps the knowledge that they could be held financially responsible for their decisions will awaken in them a sense of mercy, compassion, justice and their 'bible trained conscience'. If they choose to toe the company line....let 'em suffer the consequences.
There is enough information about the abuse issue on TV, newspapers and the Internet. Let them view this and decide where they stand. Will they acknowledge their mishandling of the cases before them? Will they make public apologies to those they have wronged? Will they learn? Will they abandon the Watchtower and its practices? Only time will tell. Warrigal
