If tree limb falls into private yard from commercial property tree, and does damage a building. Who pays for damage, and who pays for tree removal? If no bldg damage, who pays for tree removal? If limb (or tree) falls into my yard from my neighbors and damages my property, who pays for damage and who pays for tree removal. If neighbor's tree falls into my yard, but does no damage to my property (just makes a mess), who pays for tree removal? Concensus of some of my co-workers is that the owner of the tree isn't liable for anything, nor is his insurance company. We are in NJ, and I know State Laws vary, but this last bit of thinking doesn't seem logical. Ok you CPCU's, ARM's, and CIC's put on your thinking caps. Thanks.

I got my depo shot on Oct 12 and i bled on November 14-26th . I've gained weight only in my tummy and i haven't been eating all that much because i've been nausea, dizzy, headaches, body aches. I had sex while i was bleeding .. First it was brown discharge for like 5 days then it was blood and it was clots of bloods like a size of a dime. I have this feeling i'm pregnant. I have a feeling that the shot is rejecting my body .. How can you find out if the shot is rejecting your body?? Should i get a blood test done to see if i am pregnant? Will it show up in my blood before in my urine?? Has anyone you've ever know got pregnant on the shot and whats the story ??? I could really use some advice??? Thanks ....

The bible is not particularly eloquent, nor does it communicate clearly, nor does it make me care about its characters. Meanwhile, I can think of a dozen writers right off that accomplish all of the above.

How would you feel if the there were a giant International Baseball League like the MLB but bigger with over 200 teams from around the globe play to make it to a International World Series. I know that sounds kind of far fetched but it does sound pretty cool.

I see that people love to say that the reason why we go to hell is because of our own choices, our "free will". But it is the will of the "omniscient" God for "all" of humanity to go to heaven:

no Free Will?-
Why does God give the effort to try to save us if He knows we will go to hell from birth?

or

not All?-
Does He use half of us as a example/sacrifice for the other half to go to Heaven?

or

not Omniscient?-
How can God be perfect while not knowing everything about a human's choices?

A man and his wife were sitting at a table at his high school reunion, and he kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table with a fixed grin.

The wife asked, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," he sighed, "She's my old girlfriend." I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" says the wife, "Who would think a person
could go on celebrating that long?"

Dear Sirs,


I have a copy of your letter addressed to Caris in Santa Ana, California, and I am writing to express my disagreement with statements made in that letter, as well as in quotations you have made from the Dana-Mantey Greek Grammar.(1) Your statement: "their work allows for the rendering found in the Kingdom Inter-linear Translation of the Greek Scriptures at John 1: 1.'' There is no statement in our grammar that was ever meant to imply that "a god" was a permissible translation in John 1:1.

A. We had no "rule" to argue in support of the Trinity.

B. Neither did we state that we did have such intention. We were simply delineating the facts inherent in Biblical language. .

Your quotation from page 148 ( 3 ) was in a paragraph under the heading: "With the Subject in a Copulative Sentence." , Two examples occur there to illustrate that "the article points out the subject in these examples,'' But we made no statement in this paragraph about the predicate except that, "as it stands the other persons of the Trinity may be implied in theos." And isn't that the opposite of what your translation "a god" infers? You quoted me out of context. on pages 139 and 140 (VI) in our grammar we stated: "without the article theos signifies divine essence. . "theos on ho logos" emphasises Christ's participation in the essence of the divine nature.''

0ur interpretation is in agreement with that in NEB and the TEV: "What God was, the Word was": and with that of Barclay: "The nature of the Word was the same as the nature of God'' , which you quoted in your letter to Caris.

(2) Since Colwell's and Harner's articles in JBL, especially that of Harner, it is neither scholarly nor reasonable to translate John 1: 1 "The Word was a god" . Word order has made obsolete and incorrect such a rendering .

(3) Your quotation of Colwell 's rule is inadequate because it quotes only a part of his findings. You did not quote this strong assertion: "A predicate nominative which precedes the verb cannot be translated as an indefinite or a ''qualitative'' noun soley because of the absence of the article. ''

(4) Prof. Harner, Vol. 92.1 (1973) in JBL, has gone beyond Colwell's research and has discovered that anarthrous predicate nouns preceding the verb function primarily to express the nature of character of the subject . He found this true in 53 passages in the Gospel of John and 8 in the Gospel of Mark, Both scholars wrote that when indefiniteness was intended, the Gospel writers regularly placed the predicate noun after the verb, and both Colwell and Harner have stated that theos in John l: 1 is not indefinite and should not be translated "a god".

Watchtower writers appear to be the only ones advocating such a translation now. The evidence appears to be 99% against them.

( 5) Your statement in your letter that the sacred text itself should guide one and "not just someone's rule book". We agree with you. But our study proves that Jehovah's Witnesses do the opposite of that whenever the "sacred text" differs with their heretical beliefs. For example, the translation of kolasis as cutting off when punishment is the only meaning cited in the Lexicons for it. The mistranslation of ego eim as "I have been" in John 8:58. The addition of "for all time" in Hebrews 9:27 when nothing in the Greek New Testament supports it.

The attempt to belittle Christ by mistranslating arche tes ktisoos "beginning of the creation" when he is magnified as "the creator of all things" (John 1 :2) , and as "equal with God" (Phil. 2:6) before he humbled himself and lived in a human body here on earth. Your quotation of "The Father is greater than I am" (John 14:28) to prove that Jesus was not equal to God overlooks the fact stated in Phil: 12: 6-8, when Jesus said that he was still in his voluntary state of humiliation. That state ended when he ascended to heaven.

Why the attempt to deliberately deceive people by mispunctuation by placing a comma after "today" in Luke 23:43 when in the Greek, Latin, German and all English translations except yours, in the Greek in even your KIT, the comma occurs after lego (I say)?-- "Today you will be with me, in Paradise". 2 Cor. 5:8, "to be out of the body and at home with the lord'' These passages teach that the redeemed go immediately to heaven after death , which does not agree with your teachings that death ends all life until the resurrection (Ps. 23:6 and Heb. 1: 10 ) .

The above are only a few examples of Watchtower mistranslations and perversions of God's Word.In view of the preceding facts, especially because you have been quoting me out of context I here with request you not to quote the Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament again, which you have been doing for 24 years. Also, that you not quote it or me in any of your publications from this time on.Also, that you publicly and immediately apologise in the Watchtower magazine, since my words had no relevance to the absence of the article before theos in John 1: 1. And please write to Caris and state that you misused and misquoted my "rule".

On the page before the Preface in the grammar are these words: "All rights reserved no part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the publisher". If you have such permission, please send me a photocopy of i t. If you do not heed these requests, you will suffer the consequences .

Regretfully yours ,

i used to have a cartilage piercing, but than i took it out b/c it was leaning against a small part of skin (above the piercing) at night everytime i slept. the earring was on the left ear, at night i'd start off sleeping on my right side, and than when i woke up, i'd end up on my left side. so, now theres like this small thing above where the piercing was. i think its called a keloid, it's very small. anyways, how do you get rid of it? i know something about an aspirin/distilled water mask, so i am doing that, i only did it once so far. i think you have to do it 2-3 x per week until it goes away.

I have a family reunion coming up and i want to be able to have a conversation with my adult relatives. I am 20 years old and as a child I was extremely shy. I am really trying to overcome this but I find that I don't even know how to talk to "grown ups!" Even though I am one of them!! I can talk to other people my age, I know things to ask like "what school are you going to? what is your program? etc, etc." but for people in their 40s... what do I ask? How's work?? How are your kids? I have nothing in common with that and it feels awkard to ask about something like that. So what is appropriate conversation topics!?
