Rob,
I'm seeing a lot of hype about papaya tablets for weight control (loss). Anything to it? If so how does it work? Is it an appetite suppressant or something else?

Hi Tanya,
I'm the old woman's (waiting) alter-ego. She's always wanted to be a man but alas, fate has dealt her a lousy hand. She tries though, give her that much credit.
Just so you know, I'm a died-in-the-wool super-apostate, change my beliefs 900 times and tomorrow may be 901. I'm harmless though cause I couldn't give a hoot what you believe and I'll never try to "stumble" ya. I spend most of my time defending myself from the onslaught of the redheaded Godiva and 4-eyes chasing me with their verbal abusive tongues.
Hope you enjoy the place. It's a tad friendlier than H20 but as time goes on and that herd migrates over here we may have to move to higher ground!
cheers from the cave, carmel
just found this new site, gave up on h2o a few days ago and h3o is a waste of time.. hoping there may be more witnesses here that are concerned about new light hidden by the gb for years, my story is below.
please take your time and check things out.
you people of the world, listen to what i say.
Gee, Hi Bruce!
so nice to see you and your two-by-two animals here! Your intro was so brief I almost missed it in a mouse blink! BTW, you said you used "scientific" methods to "prove" your new light! Is that the same kind of "science" that the WTBTS is famous for? Sure looks like it.
cheers and may Jehovah heal you

when i first posted on this site, there were, i think, around 300 registered users.
now the number of registered users is about to reach 1000 in the very near future.
over on h20 the numbers have decreased, but the community owner, rick, appears to be mesmerised by the idea that it is still much bigger, and biggest is best, as this excerpt from a recent post shows:.
Hi Old Woman! Eureka, I'm back! How you and the the Red headed lady Godiva doing? Good to see Ezzie, Ferkster and Uncle Rubberballs all coming around! Do we get charter member status for beating them here?

hi teejay,.
i have been waiting for your reply.
you only mentioned hellfire as a detriment against the watchtower having the truth.
"...essential truths...? Yer right Brucee, none of the other religions consider them "essential". So why are they "essential"? 4 what?

what have you learnt since you left the borg?.
have you become a better person?
have you worked on traits you didn't like about yourself when you were a witness?.
We don't Jelly, but Jerhova probably does!

Interesting thoughts Prisca. Prehaps some of your "non-christian" friends don't believe in "thee" Christ that you believe in, but still beleave in "a" Christ!

so the society has put .
about jehovahs witnesses, our activities, or our beliefs.
when the wicked ones are cut off, you will see it.
My dear loquacious friend,
Is there a point here you are trying to make?

Wandering, Dfshipped?
If yer here to discuss things, what do you want to discuss?
Carmel who's not afraid to discuss most anything and not worried about being Df'd
i was just thinking about, and contrasting, the thoughts i have now, with the general mental inclination, spiritually speaking, that i carried for all the years of my life till a few months ago.. thinking this about myself, and perhaps jw's in general, tell me if it rings true for you:.
i thought i knew where to turn for food that was spiritually satisfying.
turns out, i was getting a spiritual pacifier.. i thought that i was satisfied, spiritually.
Six,
Depends upon what you define as "spiritual"! If it was a genuine positive social experiance, then some of what one experiances as a JW is fulfilling. If it is psychological and emotional satisfaction or even intellectual, for that matter, then very little is either satisfying or healthy. Looking at the four stages of human growth from the totally self-centered infant to the mature self-aware and healthy adult, the spycho-social milue of the typical JW congregation tends to retard maturation and freeze it into a codependent relationship.
Spirituality does not thrive well in such an environment. I suspect the feelings you are describing are a mixture of emotions consistant with your growth emotionally and mentally once you have made the break from the darkness of the cave.
