  let's just say i sometimes don't know how to keep my trap shut.

  i really need to learn to keep well enough alone when she attacks me.

  keep in mind i never start the fights about the borg.

  We here have had our eyes open for others it may take some time.

  Annie Dillard essay "Seeing".

  She tells an anecdote of newly sighted patients, blind from birth, who had

  cataract operations that restored their sight. Contrary to what you may expect--

  that the experience of finally seeing after many years of blindness will be a

  beautiful and almost ecstatic one---some of these patients find the "tremendous

  size of the world" oppressing. It may take weeks, months, and even years to

  adjust to the dramatic increase in stimuli; some even choose to "lose" or not

  make use of their newly acquired sense.

  For them, seeing is traumatic. What they see doesn't match what they had imagined.

  Crazyguy:those 15 books were inspired by Satan or Apostates. The Gospel

  of Mary Magdalene, please. That would mean it's possible to have a female

  GB member.

  The governor: Also there are white blood cells in cow's milk. In the

  dairy industry they closely monitor what the call Somatic cell count of

  cows milk. SCC is a measurement of how many white blood cells are present

  in the milk. All milk is going to have some white blood cells in it.

  Could you ever really relax in a self-driving car?

  by Simon in

  i love science and technology and we are living in a golden age right now.

  the world has changed in so many incredible ways just in the time i've been alive.. my first car was a vauxhall viva.

  it was brilliant because it was my first car and represented freedom.

  How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .

  they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.

  then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

  We typically expect a rainfall of only six inches per hour from a category Five

  hurricane, to flood the earth in 40 days would require a rain fall six inches per

  minute. If it came from below what about the noxious gases, such as sulfuric

  acid, that would make their way into the atmosphere and cause the earth to

  become uninhabitable.The heat generated by the impact of the rain drops on

  the flood surface would have been more than sufficient to boil the water and

  prevent it from rising.

  Why did it take 40 years to travel less then 400 miles to enter the

  promise land. Most JW's don't realize how far they had to travel.

  Should I Shun My Dog?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some background:josie the miniature schnauzer is now 12 years old, so she's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.

  however, she insists on peeing in the middle of my beautifully tended lawn, which, as a consequence, is now covered in brown patches.

  i've remonstrated with her a number of times and each time she purports to show a diplay of repentance, that is, she slinks away on her belly with her ears flattened down tightly to her head.

  Deu.23:18 The hire of a whore or the price of a dog both

  are a abomination to God. That's your problem.

  Being lied to by parents

  by What is Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean pretty much all parents lie to their children at some point about something and usually it was to protect them or just wasn't something important and it normally doesn't affect the relationship between them and their child.

  but how does a person reconcile and recover their appreciation for their parents after finding out almost everything they taught them was an evil lie?

  i don't mean going back to the same relationship as i know that is gone, especially if the parents are still deceived.

  How do you correct the lie? That's the problem, now when I tell my JW kids

  it was all a lie, trust me a big fat lie, they tell me I'm lying just like

  my father, Satan. Sometimes it's very difficult to correct a lie.

  Be careful your dog may be of the Anointed, you can't be a repeating offender

  if you are living by your own rules. Have a long talk with the little fellow and

  find out if he have some Apostate thinking, if so you are in deep trouble, you

  must show him the door.

  Do You Remember The Days When The Society Would Say Everything Pictured Something About Them?😇

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  when you look at the society's literature, it is pretty comical to see how important they believed they were.

  it seems to be not as bad under the new regime but they certainly believe they are a special people.

  lol

  Remember this one "We are a theatrical spectacle on the stage of

  mankind". Oh really, what stage and who have any idea what the hell

  this grand show is about.
