no :wacko: just a reassurance, for myself...I guess :wink:

yeah...that's not what this thread is really about. No one wants to start a full blown discussion with me anyway.

in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq..many middle eastern countries...whereever there are Muslims..that is an issue...prolly not so much American Muslims...but yes. And circumcision isn't a topic many people WOULD hear about in day to day conversation...its kinda iffy. Of course there wasn't blood transfusions way back then...but even still, the blood was said to be sacred. That is just the interpretation they chose. And as sure as you say, people will disagree with the things they believe in as is with any thing anyone does. They don't impose ideas. They only reason people feel like its an annoyance is because they have their own life to deal with. And that is okay. But I am just as annoyed with little girls who come up to my house once a month selling girls scout cookies, or fundraisers of other nature. J.W's don't jazz things up the way people would like it...so its as annoying as commercials to them ( I would know, I've knocked on hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of doors when I was one.) I guess I could actually tell you that after I knew this "message of God" I felt in me a fervor to spread the word so that everyone could know the "truth"...this is a popular reaction from many J.W. if anyone could underdstand that...they would see it as doing a favor. They don't see it as an annoyance (people's general reaction). And while I could laugh at many other religions for their rediculous and contradictory beliefs. ... I will keep those things to myself. Because I really am tolerant. I would never out loud (and I try to keep my mind in check as well) say mean things either in ignorance of savance about another person's religios belief. This is a really wrong thing to do.

I don't really think a little here and there is bad... foundation is alright for me. and I have a confession: :disappointed: There is this tiny piece at the end of my eyebrow that never grew in with hair..and I line it in with an eye brow pencil. Just that one piece...so shameful. It's embarrassing. Okay.... Well I dunno if its wrong. Okay it's not WRONG but maybe a bit unnatural. If I had to pick which gender to look at naked...it would be the female gender. Guys bodies just aren't much to look at in my opinion... And I find alot more to look at in women's features like their faces and such. I prefer softer features than sharp ones *ramble ramble*

Witnesses do not offer salvation. It's not up to them to point out who and who gets "saved". They simply offer bible studies. After that, the disicion is yours... Jesus DID preach in the open. But if you read what the bible says, there was that instance when Jesus sent his disciples in pairs and actually sent them to people's doors. For example...a text known popularly by them but not the best ( I don't remember many others anymore) it's actually ...pretttty clear: 5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; 10take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep. 11"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. 16I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. so they preached in towns and at homes. People just exaggerate things because they never really listen. And there is absolutely NO reason to be rude. They are just people like you and me...with different minds and beliefs like you and me (comment not directed just to you Bijeli_Mis)

They believe that blood is sacred...because Jesus used his blood in sacrifice for us. So they don't take blood transfusions lightly AT ALL ..as many of you have noted. They think it would be a sin if they had blood transfused intrevenously or through any other way either. BUT you must know that this is purely a matter of conscience... a PURE blood transfusion would be (in their religion) considered wrong. BUT if its like platelets or white blood cells and such...this is up the an individual Witness. They even fill out these complicated No Blood cards to put in wallets and purses...after they have made an individual decision. There are TONS of alternatives that Witnesses consider and all have to be studied before they make the choice. But parents of younger children...well I suppose the parents make that desicion...however wrong it may seem to most of the world. . . parents are only making those anti-blood desisions based on what their beliefs are. I think its easier to describe if I use other religions to describe things...because it would make things easier to understand. Muslim circumcise their females ...but not ALL Muslims. It is a matter of choice based on their interpretation of the Koran. And some Muslims choose just how much and how they get circumcized. It's all left up the an individual. This is just one of many issues.

while this IS the easiest question to answer... it is the hardest temptation to avoid. Popcorn..any flavor. It fills you as much as a gulp of air. So you have to eat lots..and that makes regrets... thanks alot ...popcorn monsters

I use it sparingly...but I do admit to wearing it daily. I have bad acne sometimes....make-up covers it up. But yes, many girls wear just tooo much. Like as if they were getting ready for a high end catwalk session! whats up with that?

the door to door thing...its kinda like a pope..and how he congregates millions and millions to let them hear what he has to say. Only witnesses do it in a door to door way...the way Jesus Christ and his disciples did. Basically, Jesus serves for them as a guide of what they should do. He preached and left it said to them that they should preach too. Doesn't anyone acutally read the bible? It's all there.

I think that the Subways here are really dirty. There is a place here called 'Brothers Pizza' and it is sooo soosoo good. Also a place (kinda new) called 'Lenny's Subshop' they have a italian meatball sub to die for!

sweet :D I like it did you happen to use garnier dye? it looks like the dye I used once.

females...IF they have nice curves and a pretty or exotic looking facial features. they don't even have to wear make-up ... a nice natural face would be nice. I notice girls' looks more than I notice girls..in general. Unless the guy (like, walking down the street or whatever) is widely attractive or eye-catching.... I don't notice em.

:laugh1: I won't ask

:kiss: failure threads CAN be put behind you...it's okay. It will all be okay.

:wink3: I'd eat him
