  Did anyone see or do a random act of kindness today?

  by okie46 in

  2. friends

  today while unloading my groceries, i witnessed a random act of kindness... someone in a ford explorer was waiting for a car to leave a parking spot so they could pull in there, they had been waiting for several minutes when finally the car in that spot backed out and left.

  before the person in the ford explorer could pull into the spot, a lady in a ford taurus pulled on into that parking space.

  the person in the ford explorer who had been patiently waiting, just sat there, they didn't honk or flip the person off, then the lady in the ford taurus realized that the other vehicle had been waiting for that spot and backed out to find another spot, letting the guy who had been waiting have his spot.

  Has anybody successfully quit using caffeine altogether?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my anxiety and stress levels are really bad lately.

  i think i'd be doing myself a favor to quit caffeine, as it has become a real catch-22 for me, where i need it to stay awake, but it causes me to lose sleep, so i need more of it to stay awake, etc.. i've learned through experience that i'm very sensitive to any sort of chemical substance that affects neurotransmitter flow, and, given my general propensity towards depression/anxiety/paranoia/add, i think that at least one thing i could do to give me a calmer, more stable neurotransmitter mix would be to eliminate caffeine.

  i've tried to reduce before, and i've found that i just start making excuses to have a little more, a little more, until i'm right back where i started.. so, i'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience where they felt the need to not just reduce but eliminate caffeine altogether, and if so, how did it go, did it help, how long has it been, etc.

  i was walking out of a store that has two doors you have to walk through... the inner door and the outer door.

  basically a small foyer.. as i'm going through the inner door i notice a woman is behind be so i go on through and hold the door for her... she went right on through without a word and then went through the outer door, pushed it open and then let it fly back into my face.

  What charitable works have you done?

  by anewme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower society is notorious for discouraging the brethren from performing acts of kindness and charity towards people of the world, claiming in their literature it is a waste of time or worse the funds may be absconded.

  (see awake of this year "what is happening to charity?

  today was 109 degrees in our town.

  Did u convert to JW because u were ignorant, arrogant or some other reason?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to believe the watchtower story takes a high degree of arrogance.

  to think you were so special that god drew you to his organization for salvation.

  but 6 billion other humans deserve destruction, is placing huge value on your own importance.. if you converted to being a jw do you think you were sucked in because you did not know the full story (ignorance) or was it because you really wanted to believe you were more special than everyone else (arrogance)?

  BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS Twisting a life-affirming law into death

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  turning a life affirming rule into a death-dealing policy is an amazing accomplishment.

  we can thank the watchtower society for a mindset which makes this possible.. i've gone into great detail before about the watchtower blood policy itself.

  it is a blatant and deliberate publicity stunt which takes the rather simple prohibitions of the laws of noah for gentiles on murder .
