  I need a drink...

  by Vivamus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel so down.

  i am beginning to think i am the kind of person that just walks away from their problems, instead of confronting them.

  when people hurt me, i will hardly ever show it, voice my feelings or anything.

  I think that for most people love is stronger then hate.
  But hate destroy things and love can't repair it.

  A guest, well spoken.

  The Adam and Eve story is but ONE of MANY stories told in the bible, that can be found in ancient civilizations older than the jews. Their God 'Jehovah' was known to others BEFORE THEM.

  never mind if it was before or after, When Jehovah is the only true God.
  When he "has no begin and no end" then it is obvious that all cultures would have known him.....

  What resurrects, the person or a perfect copy?

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember my boss asking me once this question, since he knew i was a witness.

  he asked, "what resurrects, the body, the soul, what?.

  he knew that witnesses believe in the resurrection of the dead on earth, in a different physical body during the millennium.. i told him that it won't be the same physical body, and maybe won't be identical, but it's the same person.

  I don't like to speculate, but since we are living in a computertime, when we back_up our computer, put all our data in a new one, it wil still be the original files.
  So who cares ?

  A question for the Brits...

  2. friends

  i've so enjoyed my conversations with the folks from the uk and australia on here.

  i'm enchanted by their darling expressions, and different banter than we have in the us.

  but i've always noticed one thing.

  Thanks E-man and Brummie for explaining me.
  I have to wait a bit longer before I can "hear" the accent myself: the page with specific accents was not available right now.
  And Brummie, Lady Lee did a excellent job, knitting your bow-tie but I still think that the red one was nicer...

  What's Your Opinion of the Opposite Sex?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are you of the mind that all men and all women are basically the same?

  you know---all men just have one thing on their mind or all women are just users?

  there's so much stereotyping when it comes to males and females...typical man, typical woman.

  My whole life I have been like a yo-yo: started with 50 pounds off - gained 60 pounds. after at least 4 times of losing and gaining, I did not bother to try to loose any weight at all.
  Until my condition went that bad that I had to do something.
  I went to a fitnesscentre (dec.2002) for cardio-gym and to my surprise I
  lost several pounds (without eating less sweets and so on - in fact, from the fitness I went to the baker-at-the-overside-of-the-road for pastries).
  I started to walk more with my dog (having a sitting-work-life).
  Each time a little further, and because I was losing fat, I even put myself on restrictions with sweets, bars and fancy cakes.
  Then my mother got sick and practical refused to eat.
  I stopped making meals for us (she didn't take a bite and I lost my appetite) and started to make salads for myself, which I enjoyed very much.
  And I lost weight, which feels very good.
  
  Today, eating very healthy (for my feelings without a diet) and each day a walk from approximately 6 km with my 3 dogs, I have lost 44 pounds (am able to buy my clothes in a normal shop and size now) but I still have to loose another 24 pounds before I have an acceptable weight and I feel great!!
  
  The moment I start eating sweets again, I know I will gain weight again.
  But since I lost all that fat, this time without the hard work, I think I will be able to keep this result (or even better).
  
  I know however that I am genetically predisposed (back at home, when I did eat the same as my brothers and sis in a week, I gained 6 pounds and they nothing at all). One of my girlfriends is eating each day more then twice what I am eating - and she is 20 pounds UNDER weighted.
  
  It is true that a low self-esteem, comes with to much fat, especially when your partner lets you feel that you are unattractive due to your overweight...
  In fact, it took years before I realised that my friends do appreciate me for myself - not for what I can do for them - regardless of my figure
  
  and yes, Hamas is right: it is a luxury problem. It is too easy to buy very delicious un-healthy food.

  If Your Child or Friend Told You They Were Gay, Would You Be Disturbed?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a jehovah's witness, you know that you cannot practice homosexuality.

  it's considered a sin.

  if your friend or relative revealed that they were gay, you would be obligated to "report" them to the elders.

  No it would not make me happy when my kid tels me that she is gay.
  For my friends, it won't make any difference.
  I have only one daughter, and fortunately she is straight - which in my opinion is easier in life.
