one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?

by MissFit in

friends

we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.

i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.

i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

I was so young, and the Lie was all I knew. My family had kept me completely isolated from the outside world. When I saw the hypocrisy, it all happened at once. My natural logic kicked in and said "wait a minute - they are hypocrites and it is all a bunch of lies. There *is* no God." So I left the religion, and my family, in one fell swoop. One Thursday night I said "no KH", and 3 weeks later (thanks Mom, for kicking me out), I had my own apartment and a new job.

Emotional attachments to my 'family' - well, that took a long time, and has left a gap that, due to my social ineptitude, has never been filled. I've never missed "god", though. I am a happy heathen in that sense.

I saw one on Pawn Stars last year, it was too cool! :P

How about a Buick Roadmaster, such a cool 40s car. And yes, agreed - kinda like the original Star Trek. It may not have had the FX of modern movies, but the plotlines were great, the action was real, and the gadgets were futuristic realities (eg, communicator, replicator).

New Zealand News: Jehovah's Witness dies after refusing blood transfusion

jehovah's witness dies after refusing blood transfusion.

This is tragic, but not surprising. Anaesthetists need to carefully check every patient's file due to the nature of their job. A general surgeon may often be cavalier about a 'simple laparascopic procedure like a gallbladder'. As the article stated:

The anaesthetist was aware of her position but did not tell the surgeon, who failed to read the information in the woman's case file ahead of the operation.

During the procedure, due to difficulties with access and visibility, the surgeon converted to open surgery but after it was over, the woman's condition deteriorated.

[bold is mine]

I guess things went from 'simple laparascopy' to "Open her up, she's hemmorhaging~!" and now, even though her chances may not have been good either way, Mr. Big Shot Surgeon is in trouble. I hope he is gets NAILED for it.

When I looked at the official government site (Visa Services Canada), here's what it said about getting a 90-day travel visa.

url: http://visaservicescanada.ca/countries/israel.php

Do I Need a Visa to Visit Israel?

Canadian citizens using Canadian passports do not require a visa to enter Israel for tourism or business stays under ninety (90) days.

Most other nationals, including those with Permanent Resident status in Canada, need a visa.

Apply IN PERSON at the embassy or nearest consulate.

Perhaps it is easier for someone wth a Canadian passport to enter Israel, than an American? Canadian passports used to be highly valued for that very reason.

a young 14 year old girl was disfellowshipped in my former congregation last week

by alexandre in

a baptized girl from my former cong.

was expelled out because she participated in more than one porn videos with classmates in the school and theses videos became public.

she is 14 years old and grew up as witnesses.but anybody knows she had many boyfriends and she-, but that thing was unbelievable!

talesin

from the OP

she participated in more than one porn videos with classmates in the school and theses videos became public.

I would suggest that the school officials would be the people to notify ... and they may already be aware of the situation. Alexandre, this sounds like kids experimenting in a very dangerous way, and I hope the school authorities and police are involved. If not, you could easily notifiy them - anonymously.

D-D ... A younger version of that guy from Supernatural, dang what is his name?

It's hard to choose a favorite, because all have their strengths, but Val Kilmer, yikes, sucked. Bad casting, imo.

WHAP! BAM! Loved Adam West, he was purr-fect (or so Eartha Kitts told me, and Julie Newmar, too)

Michael Keaton was so great and what a thrill to see the Dark Knight portrayed so, well, *darkly* on the silver screen. That being said, I think Clooney coulda been great (bad movie), and Christian Bale is ... well, he is mesmerizing no matter what he plays, and really made the tale come alive with the martial arts stuff, and was a very intriguing Bruce Wayne and hotter than I expected *grins* (though I do agree that his voice as the Batman was a bit off).

We stood against GWB when he invaded Iraq and on that day, I was proud to be a Canadian. Paul Martin was a slimy SOB, but at least, in the end, he chose Canada over the USA overlords.

The Harper government shows the same fascist tendencies as Tony Blair and GWB, and they can all rot in hell, as far as I'm concerned. Cheers, OUTLAW!

So we have now joined the most oppressive regime of the 20th Century in its new Holy War against the Middle East, now that the red Commie threat has been milked for all it was worth. Thanks, Steven Harper, Brian Mulroney, and all other sycophants who join the Elite (that is, the Bushes, the Bankers and the SAUDIS - let's not forget our "bestest Islamic friends") in their ongoing endeavour to keep us enslaved to their work-slave system.

I guess y'all are unhappy that "Iggy" isn't the PM? He *really* has an inside line to the White House. (gag)

Oh, and speaking of politicking during a crisis ........

I noted that two MPs TWEETED about this while it was ongoing, and one is a Cabinet Minister. WTF? What morons! Have they no sense of decorum, let alone security? I guess the Tories didn't get the memo about speaking to the public or press --- not allowed without the PMO press secretary's approval.

Edit: We had better security at Mobil Oil when we had a rig fire. Only the PR dept. spoke to the press.
