symbiosis is a close ecological relationship between the individuals of two (or more) different species.
sometimes a symbiotic relationship benefits both species, sometimes one species benefits at the other's expense, and in other cases neither species benefits.
ecologists use a different term for each type of symbiotic relationship: .
when homeless people wash my windshield and i give them change. although lately, it just seems as though i've been giving them change but with no windshields getting washed. at this point i think the symbiosis is him getting money and me feeling like i'm a better person??

seems like every day i have less and less jw friends... but every so often i'll receive an email or msn message from one saying something witnessy, only to not be able to reply to it because that person has blocked my messages.
anyone else notice this trend?
it seems to me that fearful or insecure people do stuff like that... they have plenty so say, but with no ears to hear anything back.... bethel

barbara has this scheduled for december 20:.
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/articlenews/show/ctvshows/20051130/barbara_walters_heaven/20051202/.
i think she covered just about all beliefs...i have to say that the one that seems the most slanted is the muslim belief...seems it's all about the guys getting 72 virgins...where is the heavenly part for the women?
In your dreams honey...ha ha ha
well it is heaven... so it's kind of like a dream.
listen, if my comment bothers you so much, i promise i'll never become a muslim... that way there's probably no chance of me receiving that as a prize in the afterlife. but, just as a precaution, make sure they throw some duct tape in my coffin

I really don't know of any guy that could possibly handle 72 women
i could handle 72 but only if it was on 72 separate days, and with a minimum of 95% of them having duct tape over their mouths to control yakety yak yak syndrom. 72 x() =

anyone know?.

so any books "placed" since then don't seem to qualify as best-SELLING
haha is there a separate category for best-donated to book?

what questions should a study ask before joining the jw org?
If I decide not to become a JW, can we still be friends.
awesome!!! so simple, yet so poignant!!! you will never see a JW remain friends with a study if they stop studying... the ex-study becomes a huge waste of time... more of a burden than anything...

the place is in the wilderness, the thing acting as a restraint is the face of the serpent.. .
how does someone gain access to the actual temple of the god and further yet, how is he able to lift himself up above everyone who is called god?.
god's spirit-directed organisation ---- (the man) ----------------- a god?.
i liked it because it was a different approach than i had ever read before... there was a lot of stuff he could have added to this article, but it would have been just repeated material. this was fresh to me...

instead of highjacking an earlier thread on young ones getting baptized, i thought i'd just start a new one and ask our favourite dub lurker why his faith practices infant baptism.
and defd, if you feel that a 7 or 8 or even 12 year old isn't an infant with regards to making major decisions, i would like to hear your explanation.

i was just curious.
if ever somone would make a film based on the conception of the jw religion.
which actors would be chosen?.
C. Everett Koop for Russell!!! 
have been gone from the board for a month or so, but i have read with great interest some of the stories about very recent "elder" schools from actual attendees.
i thought some might like to know about my experience in one of these in the very early 70's.
i was pioneering where the need was great (clinton, okla.) and was made assistant cong.
that was a pretty good story... made me lol a little and it wasn't too long... i'd like to hear more of your experiences
