ANOTHER VAGINAL STORY
by picosito inthis one is not porno.
i was just perusing http://yoni.com/loverf/christiangspot.shtml and on page 3 it says: "in-vitro we all start out as female.
if we get certain chemicals our development changes to male and our female organs dry up and we develop male.".

Is praying good for you?
by sleepy inwhen in the "truth" most of us used to pray.. i used to pray for help in doing things , say give a talk , and would ask for holy spirit .i felt i needed it to give a talk well.. but was it all just a placebo effect.. did the belief that i was getting help cause me to become more confident because i though god was helping me?.
as time went on in the truth i felt as if prayer was just talking to your self.in fact i found it embarissing to give prayers in public as i felt silly talking to an invisible creature.. but in the night i would prayer and maybe go over the days events , think about new things coming up , other people and life in general.. is this benifical to a person?.
in doing this we are meditating on events we would not otherwise think deaply about , this can help us think of solutions to problems or put things in perspective.. how often would we review events if we didnt pray.. now i doubt that we are conversing with god , but i think to "pray" or go over events in your mind maybe once a day or whatever, is good for your well being and can help you with lifes problems.. although not getting help from another creature we as humans need to meditate in order to make good decisions.. the placebo effect doesn't seem to work anymore and i rely on myself and my experience to help me do difficult tasks.. but when something really big comes up i admit i still say a little prayer.

COMPOUND WORDS IN ENGLISH
by picosito ini thought that people whose second language is english were most guilty of dividing up well-established english compound words into parts, but now i'm beginning to see the same phenomenon from people like americans, australians and english.
seems like it's some kind of degeneration or fad or misunderstanding of the real nature, the real personality, of english.
just because we see that a particular word is made up of more than one particle understandable as a word in its own right does not mean we have the duty to be splitting them up into parts.

Special Dub Words That Make You Go YUK!
by Englishman infor me, the word was "loving".. great "loving" kindness.. great undeserved "loving" kindness!.
disfellowshipping is a "loving" provision.. when the wtbts want their accolytes to swallow another bitter pill, another restriction, another rebuke, another demand on time, the buzz word is "loving".. the "loving" word, is, to the average jw, the same as the mccabe nod is to the salesman.
the mccabe nod is used by salesman all the time to get the prospective customer to agree to something that he doesn't care for too much.

Define spirituality
by sleepy indefine spirituality if you can.. what does the society mean when they talk of being spiritual?.
all i could figure out is just someone who follows the rules.. so if there is no god is spirituality meaning less or something still desirable?
