ELENATION

Right on Mrs.Pruett!

Seriously? Do you think you can come here and insult people and personally attack people and it's going to fly? Who's brain dead or mentally retarded here?

Hi there, As a doctor I trust him 150%, I just didn't get enough support for the band, since the beginning, he leaned towards RNY since day one and I just don't feel like he really likes the band that much, but this is just my opinion... his staff is nice...but they couldn't help me with the fills any longer, I was banded 2 years ago... got esophagus dilation about a year ago and then the new insurance doesn't cover the fills and well, it hasn't been a good year for me, but again, as a doctor, I think he is excellent... BTW, my middle name stands for Marie!

Hi Kim, As a doctor I trust him 150%, I just didn't get enough support for the band, since the beginning, he leaned towards RNY and I just don't feel like he really likes the band, but this is just my opinion... his staff is nice...but they couldn't help me with the fills any longer...:girl_hug:

Hello there, I'm curious to know if those who are pro-choice feel the same way and as strong in your opinion on the abortion issue ,if an abortion is performed during the second or third trimester. I know some pro-lifers are willing to make exceptions under circumstances such as rape, incest or if the pregnancy presents a threat to the mother's life, others feel that an abortion should not be performed under any circumstances at all. Are there exceptions for pro-choicers in certain cases as well?

sorry....duplicate post...

Hey there, Below is the transcript of Tom Cruise's infomercial video on Scientology....I don't know enough about Scientology, I've read a couple of books in the early 90's out of curiosity...didn't agree, didn't make sense to me, didn't like it, but I do respect people's religions, but Tom's words and comments about this religion.....well, like I said, no comment.... (Music) Announcer: Tom Cruise on Tom Cruise Scientologist Cruise: I think it’s a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist and it is something that you have to earn, and…because a Scientologist does. He, or she has the ability to create new and better realities and improve conditions. Uh, being a Scientologist, you look at somebody and you know absolutely that you can help them. (cut) So, for me, it really is KSW, and it’s just like, it’s something that, uh, I don’t mince words with that. You know, with anything (unintelligible), but that policy to me has really has gone , boy, there’s a time I went through and I said, “You know what…” When I read it, I just went (noise that sounds like poof), “This is it. That’s exactly it.” (cut) Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else. As you drive past, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you’re the only one that can really help. (cut) That’s…that’s what drives me, is that I know we have an opportunity, and uh, to really help for the first time effectively change people’s lives, and uh, I’m dedicated to that. I’m gonna, I’m absolutely, uncompromisingly dedicated to that. (cut) Org are there to help, okay, but we as (unintelligible) the public, we have a responsibility. It’s not just the Orgs, it’s not just David Miscavige, you know, it’s not just me. It’s you, it’s everyone out there, kinds re-reading KSW and looking at what needs to be done and saying, “Okay! Am I going to do it or am I not going to do it?” Period. Am I going to look at that guy or am I too afraid because I have my own out-ethics, put in someone else’s ethics. That’s all it comes down to. (cut) And I won’t hesitate to put ethics in someone else, because I put it ruthlessly in myself. And I think that I…uh…I respect that, you know, in others. And, you know, I’m there to help, and we’re here to help, and my opinion is is that, look, either you’re on board or you’re not on board. Okay, it’s just, if you’re on board, you’re on board just like the rest of us. Period. (cut) We are the authorities in getting people off drugs. We are the authorities on the mind. We are the authorities on improving conditions. Criminals, we can rehabilitate criminals. Way to happiness, we can bring peace and unite cultures, uh, that once you know these tools and you know that they work, it’s not good enough that I’m just (doing okay?) Traveling around the world and meeting the people that I’ve met. Talking with these leaders in various fields, they want help, and they are depending on people who know, and who can be effective and do it, and that’s us, that is our responsibility to do that. (cut) It is the time now. Now is the time, okay? It is, being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it. You better know it, and if you don’t, you know, go (sound deleted, appears to be “fucking”) learn it. (Laughs) You know? But don’t pretend you know it and, or whatever. It’s like, we’re here to help. (cut) If you’re a Scientologist, you see life, you see things the way that they are. In all its glory, you know, all of its complexity. Uh, the more you know as a Scientologist, you don’t become overwhelmed by it. (cut) (Laughs) And uh, they said, “So, have you been an SP” (big laugh) I looked at them and I thought, “What a beautiful thing,” because maybe one day it will be like that, you know? You know what I’m saying. Maybe one day it will be that “Wow, SP, they just read about those in the history books.” You know? (cut) I just got through that tech, and it’s literally…it’s not how to run from an SP. It’s (acronym of some sort), how to shatter suppression, confront and shatter suppression. You apply it, and it’s like, boom. (cut) Because, they don’t come up to be and do that. They don’t do it to me. Not to my face, or anywhere in my vicinity where they feel they can confronted, you know. They just don’t do it. (cut) I wish the world was a different place. I’d like to go on vacation and go and romp and play and just do that. You know what I mean? I mean, that’s what I want it to be. That’s how, there’s times I want to do that but I can’t because I know. I know. So, you know I have to do something about it. It’s not, you know you can sit here wish it was different and then you look at it and you go “Okay, this is it.” You know, I have to do something, don’t I? I have to do it, because I can’t live with myself if I don’t. That really is it. (cut) I don’t care if someone thinks it’s hard or easy. You’re either helping and contributing everything you can or you’re not, okay? Because I’m carrying my load, okay? And as much as I’m carrying, I still feel like I have to do more. Alright? There is still a thing of, let’s go. (cut) You can just see the look in their eyes, you know the ones that are doing it and you know the spectators, the ones who are going, “Well, it’s easy for you” or “What am I doing” and it’s just, that thing is, I’ve canceled that in my area (laughs). It’s like, man, you’re either in or you’re out. That’s spectatorism, and it’s something that we have no time for right now. (cut) So, it’s our responsibility to educate, create the new reality. We have that responsibility to say, “Hey, this is the way it should be done, because we do it this way and people are actually getting better.” (cut) And let’s get it done. Let’s really get it done. Have enough love, compassion, and toughness that you’re going to do it and, uh, do it right. (cut) And I have to tell you something. I really, it is, it’s rough and tumble. It’s wild and wooly. It’s a blast. It’s a blast. It really is fun, because damn it there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see things are better. (cut) I want to know that I’ve can everything I could everyday and I think about those people out there who depending on us. And I think about that. And it does make me feel like, (laughs) we’ve got more work. I need more help. Get those spectators—you’re in the playing field or out of the arena. (Laughs) You know, really, that’s how I feel about it. (cut) I do what I can and I do it the way I do everything (laughs). There’s nothing part of the way for me (laughs). Music: Mission Impossible Announcer: A Scientologist can be defined by a single question: Would you want others to achieve the knowledge you now have. In answering that question, Tom Cruise has introduced LRH technology to over one billion people on earth, and that’s only the first wave he’s unleashed. Which is why the story of Tom Cruise Scientologist has only just begun.

Hi Chris, Here thinking about you and wishing you a safe stay there! take good care of yourself! God bless ya! Elena

Ah! Oliver Stone..... another Hollywood Einstein that believes he knows it all....some people can make movies... but they are so ignorant and stupid in so many levels.... I just wonder why do they stay living here...? why wouldn't they take advantage of Castro, Chavez's and other divine communist countries and stay there?, I'm sure they'll love it! why do they insist in wasting time here in this horrible US of A.........? with our horrible capitalism....? oh but why don't they give up their millions, donate them to the poor along with their mansions and go live in one of those wonderful countries? you know, I just don't get it.... so I guess I was right after all, they are stupid! because I tell you, if I was so unhappy with my country's standards, ways, etc..I sure would get the hell out of here! specially that here in this "nasty" country, they don't care if you get the hell out! Oh good ole Stone.... Bless the empty cavity of his heart!:smile:

Thank you so very much! Elena

Great info! Thank you very much! ELena

Thank you so much! I appreciate the info very much! Elena

And Ted Kennedy proposes his last toast right before Hillary gets in his car .....while Bill Clinton "prays" that they make it home safe while he stays mingling with the female crowd........ and should a tragedy happen during that ride...., Bill will swear under oath that he did not have any wrong intentions by sending Hillary home with Ted.... He will then testify that he saw Ted having just apple juice on ice all night long.... and he won't mind swering under oath because as usual, he would be saying the "truth"

Oh Liz, thank you so very much! I will definitely call! I really appreciate it! Elena

Thank you very much!
