Yep, that was around the time I was waking up.

by rebel8 ina message brought to you by the people who have the unique true knowledge that jesus wasn't born on 12/25:.
hearts aren't even really "heart shaped"--it's just a pagan symbol and everyone wrongly believes they're shaped that way.any questions?

When does God intervene in the affairs of mankind?
by abiather inthough many sages have tried to describe god and his purpose, the best they could do was to declare neti, neti (not this, not this).
to the question of god, even buddha responded with silence!
jesus declared: truth will set you free but did not say what that truth is!

Ethers are a class of organic compounds that contain an ether group — an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups — of general formula R–O–R. A typical example is the solvent and anesthetic diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether" (CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3). Ethers are common in organic chemistry and pervasive in biochemistry, as they are common linkages in carbohydrates and lignin.
abiather, I am not sure why you would mention ether though without mentioning the essential organic compounds required for life such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Ooooh wait ... that's right. You're taking the Biblical ether here and not the actual organic chemistry one. Sheesh!
Never mind. -

Ya know, all this talk about Yoga pants... I think I gotta go get me some.
I have a few pairs of their predecessors, the legging. They're a more attractive version of Spanx ... kinda like Spanx on steroids. I use them as 'long underwear' under my jeans during these frickin' frigid February months!

About 30 years ago, I asked both my parents at the same time the following question:
"Is God directing the Watchtower?"
At exactly the same time, my Dad answers "No." and my Mom answers "Yes."
You shoulda seen the "Holy Shiite!" look that passed between them. It was priceless.
You see to me, this is THE essential question. It doesn't really matter whether the answer is Yes or No because either answer nullifies the authenticity of this group.
If the answer is "Yes" this flows into a whole line of questioning about why God keeps changing the truth with 'nu lite'. If you claim to have truth about something but then change this understanding, you certainly didn't have truth to begin with. And this leads to questioning the organization having truth now and why God just can't give them the truth to begin with. One can only conclude God is f'ing with them and/or this group is so dense they can't understand what God is saying to them. I, for one, am uninterested in belonging to any group that God wants to treat this way and/or that these leaders are so incompetent that they can't understand a thing being 'said' to them and can't get anything right the first time.
If the answer is No, then what's the point in following this group? They are just another religion with their hand in your wallet, making you feel like crap because you can never do enough for them. And God is certainly NOT with them.

...everyone wrongly believes they're shaped that way.
Wow. Once again, Botchtower makes a generalized statement that is totally inaccurate. These types of statements were what started me doubting the veracity of this religion years ago. My first reaction to the above statement is "I do not believe a heart is heart-shaped. In fact, I know it isn't. So what?"
Edited to add: The heart shape is my fave. Glad it is Pagan too!

That Rita Hayworth compilation video is better than the Bee Gees video. All they did was walk around. Rita Hayworth was one of my Mom's faves. -

I'd rather be single than in an abusive relationship. Been there done that.
But I would like to find someone who is not abusive... so far, no luck.

Doh! wife is about to hear the trololol song
by freemindfade indoh!
here i sit on my laptop on this site, while the wife is watching dubtv over there, she is watching the feb one with trololololy song at the end... i am trying to hold back my laughter because i know it is coming soon!
how will she react???

Heaven
I figure it this way... if she thought is was good she would have said so.
Therefore, her 'non reaction' means she thinks it's crap but doesn't want to say.
