# 3 uses Clarinex.

Need advice on natural arthritis supplements that help

by LyinEyes in

jw
friends

i know that mac knows alot about this and hope he replies to this.

as well as others who have tried these natural supplements .. i have had arthritis since childhood , and mainly it was in my feet , ankles,,, now as i get older it has really hit my left knee.

i have such a limp at times and sometimes can barely walk when i do too much .. i have some supplements that have glucosamine and chondroitin in them,and have heard it take maybe 2 months before you feel any difference.. the pain gets so bad most of the time that celebrex doesnt help at all, and a heating pad is my only comfort.

Hi Dede, For some reason I had taken this page on Nixing arthritis Naturally out of a Mother Earth News mag , Feb/March 2002 issue, I use to get. go to www.motherearthnews.com then to the archives and type in

Nix Arthritis Aches Naturally

they have quite a few good ones to try

also I hope you have a handicap parking permit, in your case you would definitely qualify for one. I knew a young lady who has about the same thing and was able to get one because like you her feet hurt so much some times it is painful to walk.

Why God Created Children

by BadJerry in

why god created children

hey eve...we have forbidden fruit!!!!!

" adam said.

WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you chuckle. Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God, in His omnipotence, had trouble with His own children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was "DON'T!" "Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said. "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve...we have forbidden fruit!!!!!" "No Way!" "Yes way!" "Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God. "Why?" "Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was upset! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked. "Uh huh," Adam replied. "Then why did you?" said the Father. "I don't know," said Eve. "She started it!" Adam said. "Did not!" "Did too!" "DID NOT!" Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed. BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY! If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you? THINGS TO THINK ABOUT! 1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk... then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up. 2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children. 3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young. 4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said. 5. The main purpose of having children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own. 6. We child-proofed our home, but they are still getting in. ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home. AND FINALLY.... If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!"

Two witnesses witnessing to me.... LOL

by Vivamus in

jw
friends

aaaaargh!!!

guess who just stood at my door!!!!

two witnesses, two that did not know me, and so i kept them on my doorstep for almost an hour, and one even got angry at me.

BadJerry

I don't think you were to evil, I think you were pretty sharp there Viv !

It's funny how once we are on the outside we read up on more of the history of the cult than anybody in that place, it's like getting a whole "new light"

Hello, I am Vivamus' Mum and new to the board

by Country_Woman in

jw
friends

i am vivamus' mum, and i have heard so much about you, that i'd like to meet you all myself.

i joined the witnesses in 1998, but i have always doubted the organization, but not the faith.

i am still jehovah's witness, but i am sure that the elders will kick me out as soon as possible, should they know what my real thoughts about the organization are.

BadJerry

wow like I told viv before, you're surprising us more and more,

My hubby and I DA'd last Aug after seeing how badly people were being treated within the org and then on a wordly scale. then date-line aired the pedophile story and that was it for me. this place I had put so high on a pedastal just fell, the trust was gone and hearing what came out of their mouths became hypocritical. Get out of her my people if you do not want to share in her sins was the scripture that went over and over in my head. with no other family in it was easy to leave, and no one begged us to come back either. conditional love is all they have.

anyway welcome aboard and glad to see you pop in.

question for all who read CoC

by Realist in

jw
friends

i have a question that i really would like to get answered.... did ray franz mention anything about whether the gb members actually believe they are inspired by god or whether they are fully aware that what they spew out is nothing but pure bs!?.

would be great if someone could enlighten me on this!

realist

BadJerry

My hubby was going to give this in his last talk. the talk was titled " why changes in the org" something to that affect.

He came across some very enlightening info and I have quoted this before

taken from WT 3/1/79 page 23: which states

In this regard, however, it must be observed that this "faithful and discreet slave" was never inspired, never perfect. Those writings by certain members of the "slave" class that came to form the Christian part of God' word were inspired and infallible, but that is not true of other writings since.

reading on in more from their literature: this taken from The Truth that Lead to Eternal Life page 13.

we need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by ANY religious organization with which we may be associated. Are its teachings in FULL harmony with God's word, or are they based on the tradtions of men?

the WTS has to many pharasaic rules/teachings that Christ would never bring down on any one, see above. As far as Ray's book, it was clear that little research was given on a matter, it became a board meeting of politics and favoritizm.

Dramatic Good-byes

by Swan in

jw
friends

i fail to understand why some people choose to make such dramatic exits?

are they trying to get attention?

are they trying to shame others with their holier-than-thou attitude?

BadJerry

like Guest 77 said it's an attention getter. when people are critical of others more often it means they are hiding something and need to work on whatever it is.

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #44

by ozziepost in

how's your weekend going?

i trust that you're finding time for a bit of "peace and quiet".

mrs ozzie and i have enjoyed being out in the crisp autumn air here in the highlands.

BadJerry

I had heard some study being done in that men can only listen with half their brain (one side). If one doesn't hear it all the other one might pick up the slack and so in this case, two heads would be better than one.

It's probably more of a protection for themselves. satans following them everywhere,ya know.
