Me? Buttered and smothered with fruit preserves is #1.

Sometimes I'm lazy and just spread flavored hummus on it. Simple, simple.

Also good to scoop up tuna salad.

How do you eat your matzoh? Do you have any good matzoh recipes to share?

King Josiah?

YHWH Himself desires Jersey Girls to knit woolly garments for trees. HE put them bare and nekkid before us in the first place!

(The trees, that is.)

"We call it 'Electric Church Music' because to us music is a religion."

* * *

"When I was a little boy, I believed that if you put a tooth under your pillow, a fairy would come in the night and take away the tooth and leave a dime. Now, I believed in myself more than anything. And, I suppose in a way, that's also believing in God. If there is a God and He made you, then if you believe in yourself, you're also believing in Him. So I think everybody should believe in himself. That doesn't mean you've got to believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff. But it does mean that what you are and what you do is your religion. I can't express myself in easy conversation—the words just don't come out right. But when I get up on stage—well, that's my whole life. That's my religion. My music is electric church music, if by 'church' you mean 'religion', I am electric religion."

Dingell's response.

If one were to listen to the entire interview, and not just a clip creatively chopped up for political gain, it is obvious that by

'people' I was referring to the insurance companies who we must do a better job of overseeing.

Full podcast here.

Early on, Dingell has to catch himself as he states that "18,000 people last year died of healthcare. Uh, died of LACK of healthcare insurance."

Later on, he says "electric companies" when he meant insurance companies.

I'm new here

by Diamonds in

i stumbled across this website a few months back and have often read the topics posted but this is the first time that i've posted anything myself.. all my family are jws - i got baptized when i was 17 but started to fade when i was about 20 and finally left at 22 when i managed to escape to university and move away from home.

ten years on and i am still out of the org but never disfellowshipped (although i would have been if they'd have known what i've been up to!).

the relationship with my family is not great - i get on with some members better than others.
