admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Mill Hill Overseer Training - Notice the Beard
I wore a beard for about 30 years, and endured 30 years of castigation and discrimination from the Brotherhood because of it.
Absolutely NOBODY on the outside cared one way or another. Thinking otherwise is a complete and deeply ingrained total FANTASY.
That's OK ... I am a grown man, and try not to think like a child .... so I mostly ignored it, even with being called into "Room 101" for interrogation and "persuasion" at least six times, which I also politely ignored, and having my service privileges revoked for years at a time, multiple times.
Jehovah God designed it that I should have a beard.
How would the Sisters feel if the custom was to have a double radical mastectomy for fashion's sake, because some Brothers were bothered that women have breasts?
.... remember ... the custom of being "clean shaven" was a ROMAN ARMY custom.
If God wanted men to have a clean shaven face, he would have invented razor blades.

admin got a reaction from Pudgy in Dog Meat
South Korea shuts down the country's largest dog meat slaughterhouse. The move is lauded by animal rights activists.
------------------------------
In the 21st century, dog meat is consumed in some regions in China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Nigeria and it is still eaten or is legal to be eaten in other countries throughout the world. Some cultures view the consumption of dog meat as part of their traditional, ritualistic, or day-to-day cuisine, while other cultures consider consumption of dog meat a taboo, even where it had been consumed in the past. It was estimated in 2014 that worldwide, 25 million dogs are eaten each year by humans.
In 2018, Humane Society International stated that South Korea was now the only country in Asia where dogs were reported to be routinely and intensively farmed for human consumption.
United States: As of 2018, it is legal to eat dog meat in 43 states. The only states outlawing its consumption are California, Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. It is, however, illegal in all states for slaughterhouses to handle dogs, and for stores to sell the meat

This Is What Will Happen When You Eat Avocados Every Day....
Youve probably seen avocados being touted as a heart-healthy superfood in recent years. Realistically, the truth isnt too far off from the hype. The next time youre grabbing that burrito or turkey sandwich, you might want to consider adding a healthy dollop of guacamole. Here are four reasons that you should consider eating a little bit of avocado each day.
1. You may reduce your risk of heart disease.
Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States, affecting nearly 27 million adults, so it only makes sense that we would want to protect ourselves by being more health-conscious in our dietary choices. Avocados have been shown to positively benefit our cardiovascular system in a number of ways due to its low saturated fat and high unsaturated fat content (predominantly the monounsaturated fat (MUFA) variety). Consuming excess saturated fat (>10% of total calories) may raise your LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. On the contrary, consuming adequate unsaturated fat in your diet may help lower LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol), maintain HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol) and potentially improve your insulin sensitivity.
In addition its nutritious fat content, avocados also contain a potent mix of nutrients (e.g., potassium and lutein), including plenty of antioxidants such as carotenoids, callexanthophylls and phenols. These compounds can help prevent inflammation and oxidative stress in the blood vessels while facilitating improved blood flow.
2. You may have an easier time maintaining your weight
Eating fat to lose fat; who would have thought? Avocados can help with weight-loss and maintaining a healthy BMI by promoting a feeling of satiety. A recent study showed that including avocado in meals helped extend feelings of fullness and reduced the desire to overindulge. The belly-filling properties of avocados is aided by their high fiber content, about 14g per fruit on average. In addition, higher avocado consumption has been associated with smaller waistlines and lower BMIs in observational studies. Lastly, some research has even shown that weight-loss diets higher in MUFA, like the kind avocados are packed with, may prove healthier for your heart than low-fat weight-loss diets.
3. You might reduce your risk of cancer
Avocados provide us with numerous phytochemicals that may help prevent cancer, including the previously discussed xanthophylls and phenols. A protein compound called glutathione, along with the xanthophyll lutein (both found in avocados), have been associated with decreased rates of oral cancer. Preliminary data also show promising results for avocados potential role in reducing risk of both breast and prostate cancers. Additionally, preliminary studies demonstrate that a specific type of fav derived from avocados is able to exert anti-cancer effects on acute myeloid leukemia cells. Together, these studies show that further research needs to be conducted to draw more conclusive results.
4. You will protect your skin and eyes well into old age
As it turns out, avocado carotenoids do quite a number of things for our body. Both lutein and another compound found in avocados called zeaxanthin can slow age-related ocular decline and prevent vision dysfunction. In addition, these same two nutrients also act as buffers against oxidative UV damage, keeping our skin smooth and healthy. The bioavailability (ease of absorption by our body) of carotenoids from avocados compared to many other fruits and vegetables makes eating avocados every day a sensible choice.
Recipes to try:
Avocado Smoothie
½ ripe avocado
1 ripe banana
½ cup low-fat yogurt
½ cup orange juice
OPTIONAL: handful of ice
Combine ingredients into blender and mix.
Bacon Peach Guacamole
1 ripe peach
2 ripe avocados
¼ red onion, minced
2 strips bacon, crisped
Salt and pepper to taste
Cut peaches into small dice and place in bowl. Mash avocados and combine with peaches. Crisp bacon in skillet, dice and add to bowl. Mince onion and add to guacamole. Enjoy with whole-grain tortilla chips.
Aside from the multitude of health benefits, avocados have the extra bonus of being a tasty, creamy food that can be incorporated into shakes, desserts, dips, and toppings. So dont be afraid to add avocado !
***VERY HEALTHY***

admin reacted to Claudia Sanchez in Gloria Estefan - Con los Años Que Me Quedan
Se que aun me queda una oportunidadÂ
Se que aun no es tarde para recapacitarÂ
Se que nuestro amor es verdaderoÂ
Y con los años que me quedan por vivirÂ
Demostrare cuanto te quiero.
Con los años que me quedan,Â
Yo viviré por darte amorÂ
Borrando cada dolor,Â
Con besos llenos pasión,
Como te ame por vez primera
Con los años que me quedan,Â
Te haré olvidar cualquier errorÂ
No quise herirte, mi amorÂ
Sabes que eres mi adoraciónÂ
Y lo seras mi vida entera.Â
No puedo imaginar vivir sin tiÂ
No quiero recordar como te perdÃÂ
Quizás fue inmadurez de mi parteÂ
No te supe quererÂ
Y te aseguro los años que me quedanÂ
Los voy a dedicar a tiÂ
Hacerte tan feliz
Que te enamores mas de mi
Yo te amare hasta que muera
Como comprobar que no soy quien fuiÂ
El tiempo te dirá, si tienes fe en mi,Â
Que como yo te ame,Â
Mas nadie,Â
Te podrá amar jamasÂ
Dime que no es el final.Â

admin reacted to Raquel Segovia in Luis Miguel decepcionó a sus fans y resultó abucheado durante concierto
Luis Miguel fue abucheado por no aparecerse en el escenario inmediatamente después de que empezaron a sonar las notas de la canción "La fiesta del mariachi". El intérprete cantó la última parte del tema, por lo que sus fans reprobaron el retraso.
Incluso, el evento que se realizó la noche del lunes en el Auditorio Nacional de la Ciudad de México tuvo una demora de 30 minutos. "El Sol" también empezó a deleitar con retraso a sus seguidores en la canción "El Bajalú", hecho que hizo que fuera resaltado con chiflidos. El cantante ignoró lo sucedido y respondió cantando "La Bikina".
A pesar de que el intérprete intentó reanimar a sus seguidores demostrando su talento vocal e improvisando al estilo "scat", el público no volvió a conectar con él.
La gente manifestó su enojo publicando críticas hacia el evento en sus cuentas de redes sociales.
