i did once, a friend who was drowning, after the incident the friendship totally deteriorated and now whenever i think about it, i wonder why i bothered, it's difficult watching someone drown, especially when they shout your name instead of help.

anyway, anyone got any experiences to share?.

As a nurse in a critical care unit I have been involved with many successful team efforts to save people. I have nursed people who I never believed would have had a chance to recover- I like to think that the care that I gave contributed to that. I have seen doctors put people back together after horrendous accidents who should not have lived; not only did they live but they walked out of the hospital and went on to lead productive lives. But in a non hospital situation, no. I have never been involved in a life saving event. EMT's and Paramedics get very little credit for the tremendous work that they do on the scene. There wouldn't be any hospital miracles if they weren't good at their jobs. Hat's off to you guys and gals.

What will you say to God in your defense?

by fearnotruth22 in

.

suppose god holds us accountable.

what will you say to him in your defense to plead you cause?

elamona

I have no defense. Everything I am, everything I think and feel is laid bare before You. I cannot deny, twist, excuse or rationalize away the hateful things that I have nurtured in my heart and soul toward another human being during my life time. Every time I turned away from someone in true need, You know it. Every time I would not share my excess with those in need You have seen it. The vile things I have thought have come from my mouth and You have heard it. Every unkind cutting word that has caused others hurt,You have felt it. It is thru Your Son, Jesus Christ, that I beg for forgiveness and ask that His Blood cover my transgressions that reach up to heaven if stacked one on another.

interracial dating

by Maverick in

lazuli got me thinking....(thanks lazuli...feels good!

) about the wts and how its policies change peoples outlooks and values.

i was....as much as i hate to admit it....born in the northeast, but moved to the south as a teenager.

elamona

Was born raised and have lived in the deep south all of my life. We were not raised to hate people of other colors, groups, etc. Things were segregated when I grew up but that was the way thing were- you didn't think about it , it just was. That is until the 60's when things got really bad for blacks in the south. Then we were forced to look at the kinds of things that did and continued to happen to blacks. It wasn't easy but eventually intergration and interracial dating and marriages were and are accepted for the most part. No, not everyone has been able to put the past and old ways behind them. There are some who still cling to the past and hate people for the color of their skin but they are getting rarer and rarer. As for interracial dating and marriage, I always told my kids I didn't care who they dated or married as long as they were nice, respectful, kind, hard workers, not slackers, and loving people with morals. I also told them I would much rather have them marry someone of a different color than their own color if the person of color loved them, was devoted to them , was good to them and made a faithful moral loving mate than to marry someone of their own color who would treat them badly, be unfaithful, amoral, hateful,self centered,and a bad mate who was a drunk or doper or abusive.

un proposal: i picked up a comment on another site about a supposed resolution that was to be introduced to the un on january 27th, 2004 that would effectively ban religion.

if this is true, then the jw leaders (governing buzzards) and their followers will have a prophetic field day!!!

here is the link to the claim: http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/1/emw100794.htm.

I am neither a cave dweller nor a JW. I read. I read A LOT. And everything I read was on the Earth Charter web page and the UN web page links.

Actually what they propose is already being incrementally being instituted here in this country and in other countries. Think back 40 years-could any of you have imagined that prayer, religion or any display of religious material would be pushed out of the schools, and out of the public square , would be reviled, called a hateful religion, castigated as being intolerant, bigoted? We're not so far from that proposal, now. If you read the Earth Charter that has been endorsed and adopted by the UN you can see that the ultimate-long term (within 100 yrs from 1992)goal is to replace all religions with a "new" set of values, ethics and morals, arrived at by consensus, directed at the complete transformation of all societies to a socialist earth worshipping 13th century dark ages "paradise".Inhabited by as few people as possible. Their means to do this is thru education-from preschool thru college all thru life with a total indoctrination thru all avenues- school, media, books, anything and everything. Their approved curicculum is being taught in every school in every industrialized nation with the exception of a few private schools who still traditionally. Agenda 21 has been and is being instituted as we speak. The UN has been the instrument of this "transformation" by writ and international law.

CALL TO ACTION: Write the United Nations!

by seattleniceguy in

most of us are familiar with the watchtower bible and tract society's association with the un as an ngo.

this fact has been confirmed via correspondence with the un numerous times, notably in a letter received recently by one of our own members.

for details and photocopies, see here:.

Thanks SNG. I copied and will use.

un resolution to ban religion

by free will in

when i read this at first and then looked at the web site.

i thought oh no, what have i done.

but now, i'm thinking it was just a matter of time before someone attempted the unachievable.

elamona

a lot of these resolutions are already being enforced in the good ole USA. so why so surprised that these people want to expand and take it international?
