Went over to rechargable batteries
by greendawn inrecently i realised how advantageous it is to use rechargable batteries.
a pair of duracell batteries for example aa size, capacity 2,500 mah, costs only 3 which is around $5.5, (the corresponding disposable ones cost 1) and can be recharged hundreds of times with a recharger that costs 15 and in fact works with all standard sizes (aaa, aa, c, d, and the square shaped ones).
this not only saves money but if done by many people it is really good for the environment because there will be that much less used batteries to pollute it.

Why is Europe more liberal then the United States?
by free2beme ini have wondered this for awhile and can not figure out why.
any ideas?
apparently being liberal does not lead to an economic power house, but it does lead to a lot of hatred of the united states in these countries.

How Do You Feel About Life & Yourself Now That You're Out?
by minimus inpersonally, i'm feeling better about things.
i don't cringe when i see a witness now.
i may still try to avoid contact with certain ones but now i feel more than ever before that jws are crackpots and whether they look down on me or not, they are the ones with the issues----not me!

The Public Talk yesterday was about nothing......................again!
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini try to attend some sunday meetings just to keep peace in my family .but,it is almost unbearable to listen to these public talks.yesterday,the talk was about adam and eve and how they ate the forbidden fruit.how they sinned and now we are all sinners.how they were thrown out of paradise .how the angels came down and had relations with females.that jesus died for our sins.
only jehovah's witnesses who are faithful to the end will inherit paradise earth.the earth will be here to time indefinite.the survivors will never die after the 1000 year reign is over.. how many times have we heard this talk?
how many more times can they pound these talks into everyone's brain?
