In contrast to the KM song - Listen, Obey and be Blessed, I always liked the thought in Proverbs chapter 3 (forgot the verse) where the advice was to safeguard practical wisdom and thinking ability. Seems they left that part out of the song title.
Sorry: my bad. I just saw the part about misinterpreted.

Yes, of course! I would love to spend all my free time (or time when I could be working to put food on the table) sitting at a metro station giving away free 'bible-based' literature to people who are not interested (and also have to put food on the table). It makes perfect sense!

Do you remember your Baptism Talk?

I don't remember the talk or the speaker. All I remember is some twit walking the line looking for stories they could use. When he quickly discerned that our story was not sensational enough, he moved along. I would like to kick myself in the ass for being such an idiot.

I had 'friends' that were pushing some king of juice (noni?) tell my teenaged type-1 diabetic son that he could stop taking insulin once he started drinking their juice. I was ready to strangle them!

Tree Hugging
by still thinking intree hugging now scientifically validated .
die hard conservatives love to disparage liberals as tree huggers, but it has been recently scientifically validated that hugging trees is actually good for you.
research has shown that you don't even have to touch a tree to get better, you just need to be within its vicinity has a beneficial effect.. in a recently published book, blinded by science, the author matthew silverstone, proves scientifically that trees do in fact improve many health issues such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd), concentration levels, reaction times, depression and other forms of mental illness.

There is lots of stuff out there on the web. Even some of the site's promoting NI generators have some good links (of course they would). Wiki and WebMD are good places to start.

It might also have something to do with negative-ions.
Concentration of Negative Ions in Different Environments
Environment Concentration *
Waterfalls 95,000 - 450,000
Mountains, seashores, breezy forest 50,000 - 100,000
Breezy country meadow 5,000 - 50,000
Cities 100 - 2000
Rooms and offices 40 - 100
Rooms with Air Conditioner 0 - 20
*Approximate Concentration of Negative Ions per cubic centimeter (cc3)I also read in another article that pine/evergreen forests were especially beneficial. Not sure if any of this is true, but I prefer to spend as much time as possible in the forest. It helps that my back yard is up against a national forest. My wife and her friends think I am crazy. Isn't it boring to spend so much time by yourself in the forest - they ask before going back to the tv?

Attention Lurkers, newbies and fence sitters and shunned ones!!!!
by Crazyguy inits time to be blunt, the jw religions denies their members the messiah.
do your research people, go to your cd library and type the word "mediator" in brackets or parentheses, and then hit search button.
after reading all you can you'll see that according to them, jesus only mediates for the 144k.

Crazyguy - you are right about the swearing. And it is something I really need to work on. It is not helpful. My wife thinks I've become demon-possessed. I need to push through past the anger stage ASAP.
