  last month, my best friend of four years and boyfriend of six months came home from a jehovah's witness convention.

  he'd been acting strangely the entire weekend and i knew something was wrong.

  i initiated a discussion and he said, "essentially our relationship is wrong and i'm not supposed to be with you.

  Perfect relationship? Sorry but he sounds more like a coward and a liar and a hypocrite that just used you.
  
  May I ask how old you are please?

  Did my heart become untrustworthy when I was baptized?

  by Apognophos in

  growing up as a witness, a scripture that was used heavily by the society began to puzzle me:.

  the heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.

  I assume they mean that at your baptism when you dedicate yourself to the organisation your heart and mind and reasoning are no longer your own but become under the sole control of and become directed by that organisation. Hive mind.

  Your heart and mind are only correct and good when you submit, follow and are obedient. Anything outside of this and you are corrupt, desperate and bad.

  And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

  How is it possible to receive a hundredfold of any of these things when in heaven there will be no marriage, no parents, no having children, no land and certainly not living in a house.. let alone 100 of them?

  searching for information regarding the north side of tibet province in china, i found this image of this woman:.

  "the beauty of xiaohe," female mummy, ca 1800-1500 bc.

  excavated from xiaohe (little river) cemetery 5, charqilik (ruoqiang) county, xinjiang uygur autonomous region, china.

  The Beauty of Xiaohe mummy is a bit of a problem for the Chinese. The 4,000 year old almost perfectly preserved mummy is Caucasian, indicating European settlers might have been in China’s Tarim Basin before Asians. That doesn’t fit the official Chinese history and so Chinese officials have pulled the mummy from the museum exhibition in the United States.

  

  The Chinese government has put an official travel ban on a mummy as well as some other artifacts that were scheduled to be shown as part of the ‘Secrets of the Silk Road’ exhibition in museums in the United States. The problem seems to be the the artifacts, and the mummy in particular, have secrets of their own. The Beauty of Xiaohe, pictured above, has been dead for over 4,000 years and yet she tells a story that conflicts with the official Chinese history of migrations into China.

  As you can see from the picture, The Beauty of Xiaohe is a near-perfectly preserved mummy. She has long eyelashes and hair that still falls across her shoulders. She also has Caucasian features. That’s the problem. Her very existence, and that of others that have been found in China’s Tarim Basin, in Xinjiang province suggest that the area was settle by Europeans rather than Asians initially. That flies in the face of the accepted history of China.

  According to the Chinese government, the Chinese first made contact with the west around 200BC when the then emperor Wu Di tried to establish an alliance with the West against the Huns who were then based in Mongolia. The mummy suggest that Westerners were in China long before then.

  This isn’t just a problem with having to alter the government-approved version of contact between East and West. It has to do with a separatist movement by the current inhabitants of the oil rich China’s Tarim Basin, in Xinjiang province. The Uighurs who have had violent clashes with what they view as intrusion from the Han Chinese in recent years.

  It is thought that perhaps The Beauty of Xiaohe mummy will give the muslim Uighurs fuel for their fight with the ruling Han Chinese. And so, for now, the mummy has been pulled from exhibitions in the United States by the Chinese.

  After the fall sin entered into the world, along with it came shame and guilt. The covering of the fig leaves was really mankinds first act of religion. Because when we sin, we want to COVER IT UP, justify our actions. Which is exactly what they attempted to do. Eve blamed it on the serpant, Adam blamed it on the woman. They hid from God out of shame.

  They covered themselves up as a reaction to their shame before God. No longer were they pure before God, but fallen. No longer good. They made clothes for themselves to cover themselves up. God instead had to make a covering for them. This is the gospel in a nutshell. Man cannot justify himself or his sins through his own actions, but only God can cover them for man. One is religion, the other is grace.

  Absolute tosh..

  Boric acid is dangerous to humans and animals when ingested (as are window cleaner, bowl cleaner, bleach, etc.).
  
  When used for roaches, the usual method is to dust all corners and wall joints with a duster (a small vessel used specifically for acid dusting). This is generally safe as long as you avoid food preparation areas (which seems to defeat the purpose in the case of roaches), but can pose a problem to pets and/or small children, as they may ingest an unsafe amount.

  I'd go for the organic safe option myself..

  But if you insist:

  Avoid consumer roach powders with boric acid in them; the boric acid powder is the active ingredient, so just get 100% boric acid powder (most dollar stores and home improvement centers have them, and it's generally cheaper).
  
  If you DO have pets or small children, or the infestation is particularly plentiful, there is an alternative method to dusting... wall treatment. This is how it's done:
  
  1). Mark off all studs in each room so that you know where they are (simple pencil mark will do).
  
  2). Drill a small hole in the wall area between each stud, just big enough to insert the tip of the boric acid container (most brands come in a plastic bottle with an applicator tip) or the end of the duster.
  
  NOTE: Avoid all air circulation ducts, pipes and wiring!
  
  3). Deliver the boric acid powder into each hole (about 4 or 5 tablespoons worth seems to work just fine, but it depends on the roach population).
  
  4). Spackle up the holes.
  
  That's it!
  
  It seems like a lot, but is really a small price to pay when you have a roach infestation... and it will keep away roaches (and a few other pest bugs) for about 8-10 years.
  
  Boric acid powder sticks to the roaches, poisoning them and their eggs, following them everywhere they go and infecting (so to speak) every other roach they come in contact with. It kills just about everything within the first 24-48 hours, but you will generally SEE more roaches during this period, so expect it and don't worry... they will die.
  
  Now the nasty part...
  
  There will be bodies. The more you have, the more bodies there will be, and clean up can be disturbing.

  Any substance that can kill something continually for the next 10 years I'm not sure I'd want anywhere near where I keep food and eat.
