Fianl poem of the night. a rewrite not very Dark Prince like. Could it be improved.?

"sprung"

Winter's passed us by,

disappeared, I blinked my eye.

All the doom and gloom,

it's all over none too soon.

Spring has sprung, all around,

birds and bees a lovely sound.

My mood has changed, all is right,

no more icy, snowy nights.

The chill of Winter's gone,

hung around for way too long.

Thought he'd got the best of me,

I'm still standing, feeling free.

Spring comes only once a year,

but it wipes out all my fear.

Crocus, roses all sublime,

I feel love, now is the time.

Fianl poem of the night. a rewrite not very Dark Prince like. Could it be improved.?
This is well done, light airey and filled with hope. I like the subject and the way you have approached it. As for the Dr., I would like to add that "fluff" is ground up paper used in disposable diapers and is obviously what is packed inside his head to keep it from imploding.
Reply:A rare jewel of all gems written by an uncommon poet for all seasons - Happiness, high above the cold winter snow and the dark bottomless pit. An ornament of beauty, depicting my name. This type poetry leaves readers of spring with happy thoughts throughout the day. Thanks for writing for all of us! That is a rare gift.
Reply:Loved it. If you really want to improve it you could add allusions, alliteration, metaphors, ect. otherwise it's fine the way it is. God bless!

What do you put on tulip bulbs to make them bloom?

I planted many bulbs last fall--tulips, crocus, daffidils and I don't know what else. I didn't put any fertilizer with them. Now that they are coming up, can I put something on them to make sure they bloom real nice?

At the store I saw "bone meal" for tulips--Can I use this now?? Or should I wait till after they bloom then put bone meal on them for next Spring.

My front yard has many bulbs coming up but I noticed in the back yard not to many. Which means squirrels, rabbits or deer. I bought some "liquid fence" to try but does human hair and cat poop do the trick to make these critters stay away.

What do you put on tulip bulbs to make them bloom?
Tulips don't need feeding before they flower.

If you want to feed them wait till after they bloom, but only if your soil is poor.

After the tulips have bloomed, make sure you don't cut their foliage, because letting them die back naturally is what Really feeds the bulb.

the flowers are already formed inside the bulb! isn't that cool!

it could be that the bulbs in the backyard have had cooler temperatures or more shade and they are just slower to emerge. Have you noticed holes and digging where you planted?

Yep, tulips are planted in fall and they bloom in spring. Like iris's. They don't reproduce as well as iris's though. Depending on your climate at least. Generally tulip bulbs will grow until they are about 12 cm, then they'll divide. When tulips make new baby bulbs off the sides they'll take another 4 years or so to flower. If they like the spot they're in, they could do some nice reproducing, depending where you are. But generally I think of tulips being a bit finicky and not naturalizing like daffodils, crocus, or iris.
Reply:The rule of thumb is only use fertilizer DURING growing/blooming season. In the case of tulips. or other bulbs do it as soon as they begin to emerge. It is always best to use bone meal in the fall when you plant.

Use a all purpose fertilizer such as a 10-10-10 and follow direction on the box.

Otherwise fertilize in the early spring.

Q. For the best spring flower display, when should I fertilize my tulip and daffodil bulbs?

A. To produce the maximum number of top-quality spring flowers, tulips and daffodils require care first in fall, at planting time, and then again in spring.

Reply:Tulips are to me very similar to the iris. First with my experience they need to be in the ground a full year before they reaaly have pretty blooms. Other than that there is no real trick. Mine on the back side of my house have more daylight sun and are starting to flower now, on the other hand ones on the end having little sun or afternoon sun are only green leaves still. Give them time my dear, after awile they will be mutiplying and blooming and will make you proud. Good luck to you. I'm a yard person myself!

Have you found anything new and exciting in your garden this Spring?

The crocus have finally popped!

And other things are starting to poke through!

I wish I could remember what I planted where last year!

How can I identify a flower growing in my yard?

I know its a bulb. Its small like a crocus. Its reddish-orange with a bright yellow clover-shaped ring in the middle.

I have a photo of it in my photos in myspace. if you go to my profile you see the link to myspace where it is. I dont know how to post it here.

Any advise at all is helpful! Thanks!

How can I identify a flower growing in my yard?
What you have there is, indeed, a red crocus. Check out this site for verification. The six petals and shape of the middle are a dead give away for this particular flower.
Reply:If you live in a northern climate it will be a crocus. Too early for other bulbs to be blooming.

Hello English Friends across the Great Blue! What do you plan on growing in your gardens this Spring?

I'm really curious to hear what folks in other countries grow in their home flower and veggie gardens. We live in the Midwest, in the States, and here's what we'll have:

Loads of tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, and other bulbs my girls planted with me in the fall.

We'll plant zinnias, cosmos, morning glories, roses, along with butterfly bushes, stargazer lillies, daylillies, lilacs, mulberry bushes, and tons of other flowers.

Our veg garden will have loads of tomatoes, Indian corn (the girls love the colors), cucumbers, and some herbs. We have deer, rabbits, and bunnies, so lots of other veggies get nibbled down. :)

I was wondering what you all grow? How big are your yards? Ours is .78 acre which is 2,608 square meters . We usually start planting our spring gardens around Mother's Day in mid-May - is it the same for you?

Thanks so much! I can't wait to get the Spring Gardens going, and have always wondered what gardeners in other countries planted. :D

Hello English Friends across the Great Blue! What do you plan on growing in your gardens this Spring?
I prefer growing fruit %26amp; veggies rather than pretty things (that's my dad's job) but I have bought some Cosmos bulbs - the type that smell of chocolate.

This year, I am growing from seed -

Tomatoes (cherry and normal)

Physilis (aka cape gooseberry)

Runner beans

Haricot beans

Garlic (planted in December)

Mushrooms (from spores)

The physilis and tomatoes will be kept inside my greenhouse, although the tomatoes could live outside quite happily.

I also have (as perrenials) -

Lemon balm

Raspberries

Blackcurrants

Blackberries (more of a weed, we keep trying to get rid of them)

Mint

Thyme

Fennel

Strawberries

I also have a couple of pet chickens who lay eggs, and produce fertiliser :) I couldn't begin to list all the other, non edible plants in the garden, there are so many, but our garden is about 100 - 130 foot long and 15 - 20 foot wide. I have just planted the seeds for the tomatoes and physilis, but most others will have to wait a bit longer, once it has warmed up and we are no longer having frosts.

PS I'm in SW England.

What makes your heart sing? What lifts your spirit?

The robins have come back; the crocus and daffodils are starting to bloom. I know winter's not over, but spring is coming. That lifts my spirit.

What does the same for you?

What makes your heart sing? What lifts your spirit?
Being able to help someone lifts my spirits. I don't have a lot of money, but small kindness...opening doors, helping older people, rescuing an animal (I drove from Ill. to the Western slopes of Co. to get a kitty that was stranded near the cattle), smile, smile, smile at others. Ask seriously how they are doing. Tell salespersons you appreciate their help. Just small things. It comes back tenfold.

Things that make my heart sing: My Christian faith. The beauty of the earth. "Baby" animals. Humming birds. Having a good morning kiss and a cup of coffee with my sweet husband. The musical laughter, hugs and kisses from our grandchildren. A phone call from my mother. Seeing our children healthy and successful. Powerful choir music.

I could write pages on this subject....will quit before I bore all to death.

Have a wonderful day!

Peace and love
Reply:Honestly? Today it is that my youngest child just graduated from the potty to the regular toilet.. yesterday!

It may sound a bit too "earthy" for this question, but I am walking on tiptoes and singing to myself and can't stop grinning. (This has been a long process.)

Another thing that made my morning today was when you chose my cookies as best answer to a previous question.

I guess both of these events are in the category of small kindnesses within relationships.

My daughter told me, "I can do this myself, and the toilet cleans itself, so you don't have to do it anymore, Mommy." I'd be elated no matter what her motivation, but that it came from a place of kindness to me made it even better.

I'm also getting a kick out of the birthday cake that's in the oven, that I plan bringing to a friend later today, as a surprise.

Short answer: Kindness. (Either to or from others.)

Reply:Getting home with tired feet from working so hard and realizing some people have tired feet from walking around looking for a job much needed!
Reply:There's so much sad stuff going on in the news nowadays because there's a lot of news organizations reporting on stuff nowadays. Bad things like starvation, war, and disease have always happened. You just hear about it more. But they actually happen less now than a hundred years ago because of the advance of civilization.

What cheers me up is that in spite of all the bad stuff in the news, the world is a better place than it was a hundred or two hundred years ago. Global literacy has skyrocketed, smallpox has been wiped out, and polio has been nearly wiped out. The average American today has a more comfortable life than the average American of 1900.

Another thing that cheers me up is that news organizations report on sad stuff going on in the news. It's only news if it's unusual. They don't usually report on flowers blooming or people having a good time because stuff like that is very common. They report on murders because murders are relatively uncommon. I'd rather have murder be uncommon enough to report on than have crocus plants be uncommon enough to report on.

Planting spring bulbs?

I live in south central PA...supposed to be in the 60's this week.To late to plant daffofils,crocus' etc.I think they should do O.K....any advice?..Thanks!!!

Planting spring bulbs?
Yes you can plant bulbs during the january thaw, they need at least four days to establish roots before going dormant for the rest of winter.
Reply:Shouldn't be too late if you can work the soil. Cover well with mulch to protect against any further frosts. Or you can store in a cool dry place until a few weeks or so before you plan to plant. Place bulbs in a refrigerator drawer for 3 to 4 weeks before planting. If possible put in a seperate compartment by themselves, so forgotten fruits or vegetable won't rot (which causes a gas that may be harmful to the bulbs). I use these two methods on a regular basis and I have never had any trouble with the bulbs not blooming. Sometimes (depending on the flower bulbs) they will grow but not bloom until the second year. Good luck and happy planting!
Reply:If you can work the soil, you can plant your bulbs. They may come up a bit if it stays warm for a while, but they'll figure things out on their own once spring actually arrives.

Good luck :-)
Reply:As long as the ground isn't frozen, you can plant them. We planted some on New Year's Eve, just before we got 6 inches of snow.

The only problem that you will possibly run into is that the soil is very wet this time of year. When we dug the hole for our bulbs, it started filling up with water. Also if you are planting them in an arrangement, the clumps of dirt will disturb them when you fill the hole back in.

What we did was to place a layer of newspaper in the bottom of the hole and place an inch or two of dry potting mixture over it. We then arranged the bulbs and covered them with a couple of inches of compost (you could also use more potting mix) before filling the hole back up with the dirt. It came out slightly mounded, but that will help a little with keeping the hole from filling up with more water from the rain and snow.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening from Cathy and Neal!
Reply:put the bulbs in your fridge crisper drawer about six weeks before your spring.. then plant them...the cold chill in fridge will help speed things up and you will have spring bulbs
Reply:Not too late to plant them, I have done so quite often when I found them on closeout in January. They do need about 8 wks of cold to bloom tho so may bloom late the first year, after that they will be on track. As long as you can get a trowel in the ground!

Trouble with keeping anything in the fridge like that is that if you keep any fruit in there also, the ripening fruit puts off an ethane gas that will kill the flower buds in bulbs.

Best time to plant bulbs for northern Michigan?

I recently got some grape hyacinth, snowdrop, and crocus bulbs for my garden. What's the best planting time for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? Also, should any of the bulbs be planted sooner or later than the other bulbs? Any help is appreciated :)

Best time to plant bulbs for northern Michigan?
Fall is the time to plant bulbs, anytime before the soil freezes. You can plant them all at the same time if you like. Take some time to visualize the heights of the flowers while you are planning the planting. You can plant the different bulbs in groups close together for masses of color. Also take into account the different blooming times.

Reply:I live in a similar climate and my bulbs have always performed best when planted in the fall. In my option, Spring is too late because a lot of growth could take place before the soil could normally be worked. Go for it!

Showering like a woman?

1. Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks.

2. Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see your boyfriend/husband along the way, cover up any exposed flesh and rush to bathroom.

3. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror and stick out your gut so that you can complain and whine even more about how you're getting fat.

4. Get in the shower. Look for facecloth, arm cloth, leg cloth, long loofah, wide loofah and pumice stone.

5. Wash your hair once with cucumber and lamfrey shampoo with 83 added vitamins.

6. Wash your hair again with cucumber and aloe vera shampoo with 83 added vitamins.

7. Condition your hair with cucumber and aloe vera conditioner enhanced with natural crocus oil. Leave on hair for 15 minutes.

8. Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until red raw.

9. Wash entire rest of body with ginger nut and jaffa cake body wash.

10. Rinse conditioner off hair (this takes at least 15 minutes as you must make sure that it has all come off).

11. Shave armpits and legs. Consider shaving bikini area but decide to get it waxed instead.

12. Scream loudly when your boyfriend/husband flushes the toilet and you lose the water pressure.

Question about climbing roses?

The wall of my mum's shed has been spraypainted. I've advised her to attach a trellis to it and plant some climbing roses. If i buy the 'Rosa Maigold' climbing rose in a 4litre pot (from crocus.co.uk) how long will it take until it starts to grow? Or does anyone have any better ideas for covering the shed - just on one of its four walls. Thank you.

Question about climbing roses?
Be careful about getting a climbing rose that grows quickly. Yes, it will cover the wall quickly in the first year or two, but every year after that they can become a major pain in the butt from growing too fast and spreading.

You have to be careful when planting something like that. Farmers once used the multi-flora rose which is kind of a climbing type rose basically almost like a fence. Now 40-60 years later farmers are still having problems with them because the rose is like a weed. And now the farmers can't hardly get rid of them no matter how hard they try (brush killer, burning them, pulling them up by the roots, etc) 40-60 years after the roses were first planted.

If you get a climbing rose or any kind of climbing plant, get one that grows halfway slow and isn't considered vigorous. Yes, it will be longer for it to cover the wall. But you'll be thanking yourself years down the road, because if you get something vigorous you'll be having to trim like crazy after the first 2-3 years.

Also be careful with climbing plants such as ivy they can tear down walls (especially brick and stucco) and get into every little crack and cause problems if you aren't careful. Climbing ivy can also be somewhat hard to get rid of too.
Reply:a trumpit vine grows really easy and flowers a climbing ivy does too but it dosent flower a ivy like boston or english ivy will stay green even in the winter where a trumpit vine or a climbung rose will lose there folage during the winter
Reply:I wouldn't use a climbing rose to cover a shed. Unless you carefully prune them the flowers will be at the top and the bottom (and the shed) will be bare. Mile a minute is OK but you have to be absolutely ruthless with it - baring the shed every year. Ivy is good but if the site is suitable for a rose it probably isnt for an ivy which like shade.

I would put Clematis up it - just make sure the roots are cool (cover with a slab).
Reply:Sounds a nice idea but you know Rosa Maigold is meant to be vigourous don't you? The sunnygardens.com site says that it can take over a yard if not planted? Can the shed hold the weight if your Mum can't prune it regularly?

Speed of growth will depend on the quality of the ground its planted in, and if it gets the conditions it likes.

Avoid the other persons suggestions of Mile A Minute or Russian Vine especially if you only want one side of the shed covered. I had one on a fence by my gate. Had to prune it 4 times a year, and the postie hated the ants that like climbing up it. Nice plant but only in right situation.
Reply:Ivy is nice and grows quickly................
Reply:Yeah! buy a plant commonly referred to as MILE A MINUTE (Russian Vine) - it will cover the shed wall in ONE season - Plant now and by summer it will have covered the lot - trim back hard in winter and it will do it all over again next year - The white variety is the hardiest and quickest growing - can grow 4 -6 inches in a day!

Flowers are white - sprays and look really nice - a little trellis or bamboo canes for it to climb up and around will be fine

Okay shower's are something we all do.

Here I'm talking straight people, gays are in world of their own;. Now girlies don't email me saying, "I haven't used cucumber shampoo since 1995." And guys same thing about shower Mohawks!

New Homeowner needs yard advice?

I just bought my first house this past August. This is the first spring I need to do yard work. The previous owners planted a lot of beautiful crocus, dafodyils, tulips, etc. Now those flowers are gone, and the green stalks remain. What do I do now? I do not want to kill them but want them to come back next spring. Please help! Thanks!

New Homeowner needs yard advice?
Those plants are called perennials...which means they will come back in the Spring of every year, if you leave the leaves alone.
Reply:If the green stalks are there, just leave them be. By next spring they will be blooming again, or possibly can still bloom this spring! My point is, just weed around them and let them be.
Reply:You can buy some quality fertilizer %26amp; give them some now, and again in late Fall; before frost sets in. That's when bulbs store up for Spring bloom. When Spring comes, take good stock of colors %26amp; what you've got. Have fun in your new yard!
Reply:Leave the green stalks alone until they turn yellow then cut them off at the dirt level. Your crocus, daffodils and tulips are storing energy for next spring right now (as green stalks).
Reply:next spring just water them and they should come back if not there's something wrong! It's probably gunna be the soil or they are not ment to come back, and if that's the case you should get some that do so you don't have to replant flowers every spring! It would get really, really annoying.
Reply:ask your plants:

i want to help you bloom again, what should I do?

be prepared for them to maybe say "nothing"

(don't mention the word "kill" to any plant; plants are without an understanding of the concept of "not")

Have you ever heard of these herbal ingredients?

crocus sativus l. , cordyceps sinensis, snow saussurea, tibetan yarks testicle, hippocampi what do they use these for ? what is it good for ? are there any dangers in useing them ?

Have you ever heard of these herbal ingredients?
What is a Tibetan Yark and do they have testicles?

crocus sativus l. is saffron, fairly safe,

cordyceps sinensis is a chinese herb, referred to as caterpillar fungus?? This is known to supress the human imune system useful in transplants.

snow saussurea is tibetan, a lotus flower seems safe, used for arthritis among other uses.

hippocampi is a part of the brain. Not exactly herbal is it?

tibetan yaks testicle I think that you meant. Used in Asian medicine, but again not entirely herbal.

The herbal parts seem fine to use, but I would question the use af any brain or testicular matter ever. These are not herbs, they are animal.

"fnally spring"

Winter wont leave me alone,

then her mood shanged

like a spurned women.Old man winters ovrstayed his welcome and its time for him to die once again.

spring only comesonce a year,

but wipe out all fear,

Crocus, Liliies,, all sublime,

I felel love this time.

Apoem for a never ending winter. How is is this?
This is the best part:

"Spring had sprung all around,

then her mood shanged

like a spurned women."

This is the worst:

Old man winters ovrstayed his welcome and its time for him to die once again.

spring only comesonce a year,

Don't mention Old Man Winter, please.... it's a trope that need never be alluded to again. Think of a different metaphor for winter... "spurned woman" is EXCELLENT for spring reverting!

"snow flakes torturing my knees" HOW did they torture your knees? When I think of snow flakes I think of little cold pin pricks, a chinese water variety of torture or something. Convey what you mean specifically.

"returned with a vengeance" -- Die Hard. This is lazy writing.

But I love the part about spring, and I think the ending is a nice twist. Work on this and post again...

Ehovah��s do they are Christians or not????

in the diner lost night i almost had a fist fight , I study religious over 12 yeas an I now many religious not only Christians but (mousoulmanous)Moslems and of crocus (iahovathes) Jehovah��s - the answer is will surprise you .Jehovah is a (apospasma) of Christianity it means it some croups they lick to clams some things on the own lick a

cult- is mad from some people that they disagreed and disbelieve the Christianity. fact is that they do not believe the words of god but Q. words in holy bibles they manipulate them, and older the truth to there own explanation - the Q. is know that you have to answer yourself. is if you Q. the crests worst that means you not believe crests or you have a dugouts about him of what he seed? my opinion is-- JEHOVAH��S ARE NOT CHRISTIANS OR BELIVE IN CRISTIANATY

Ehovah��s do they are Christians or not????
"Jehovah" is the personal name of Almighty God, the Sovereign of the Universe, the Creator. "Jehovah" translates the Hebrew Tetragrammaton into English, and is to be used with reverence and respect. An adherent among Jehovah's Witnesses is most certainly not "a Jehovah" but rather is "a Witness".

.. ..(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians.

A few self-described "Christians" have claimed that the title applies uniquely to those who believe precisely as they do. They apparently take for themselves a role which properly belongs to Christ himself.

(Matthew 7:21-23) Not everyone saying to me, ��Lord, Lord,�� will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ��Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, ...and perform many powerful works in your name?�� And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.

Ironically, the bible most closely associates being "Christian" with preaching about Christ and Christ's teachings. Review all three times the bible uses the term "Christian" and note that the context connects the term with:

"declaring the good news"

'teaching quite a crowd'

'open eyes, turn from dark to light'

"uttering sayings of truth"

"persuade"

"keep on glorifying"

(Acts 11:20-26) [The early disciples of Jesus] began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus... and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 26:17-28) [Jesus said to Paul] I am sending you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God... Paul said: ��I am not going mad, Your Excellency Festus, but I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. ...Do you, King Agrippa, believe the Prophets? I know you believe.�� But Agrippa said to Paul: ��In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.��

(1 Peter 4:14-16) If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy... But if he suffers as a Christian, let him not feel shame, but let him keep on glorifying God in this name

So why do anti-Witnesses try to hijack the term "Christian" and hide its Scriptural implications? Because anti-Witnesses recognize that it is the preaching work that makes it clear that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are by far the most prominent followers of Christ:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded
Reply:Wow.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians.

Christians follow Christ.

Jehovah's Witnesses follow Christ.

And Jehovah's Witnesses do believe that Jesus is the son of God.

And I hope you feel better. Croups? Dugouts? Crests? Apospasma?

Wow. You should leave that stuff alone if it's gonna affect you that way.

Reply:To respond to your last statement, Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians and do belive that Jesus is the son of God.

All the best to you.
Reply:Being a Christian means you follow the laws the Christ and his father Jehovah set for us.

Yes Jehovah wittnesses are chrisitan and they beilve in the bible they just dont like to be lumped with "Christiandom" because the majority of Christiandom practice things that go AGAINST Christ's teachings.

1-They do not vote

2- They do not go to war

3-They obey GOD as ruler,rather then men.

4-They dont celebrate pagan holidays

etc etc there are a ton of other things that thankfully separate Jehovahs wittnesses from all other religions and that is what jesus said to keep seperate from the world.
Reply:There are true witnesses of Jehovah and false.

If you read Revelation 2 and 3, you will see what Jesus tells all the believers, and notice there are good and bad in the denominations.

One church is lukewarm, so he is not happy with them, but all need to repent.

I claim to be a true worshiper of Jehovah.

Just because there were bad kings in Israel, that did not invalidate there were many who loved Jehovah.

The only way to the Father Jehovah is through Jesus his Son, said Jesus. [Our King]

Reply:Easiest way to chase a JW from your door is to suggest swapping literature. I've never seen them move faster. I wasn't suggesting a swap to be antagonistic, I just wanted them to look over my lit, too, so we could discuss differences more intelligently when they returned. The husband was interested, but the wife was determined to get her husband out of my doorway. Didn't get any return visits!

Had a family friend join JW for a short while. She quit after a year. Must have been the liberty she saw in the lives of those of us that attended mainstream denominations. Not celebrating your own kids' birthdays is a bugger, isn't it?
Reply:No.

the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?

The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings.

Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors:

Taking verses out of their immediate context.

Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.

Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.

Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.

Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.

Changing the meanings of words.

Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.

Adding to the Word of God.

Additionally, the Jehovah's Witness organization requires of its members regular weekly attendance at their "Bible Study" meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti-Christian teachings. This is done by reading the Watchtower magazine, following along with what it says, reading the questions it asks, and reciting the answers it gives. In other words, the Watchtower Organization carefully trains its members to let the Organization do their thinking for them. For confirmation of this, please read Does the Watchtower organization control the JW's thinking?

The Witnesses are told they will be persecuted when they go door to door teaching their doctrines. They are further told that this is simply the enemy fighting against God's organization because they are in "the truth." So, when someone disagrees with them, they are conditioned to reflect on what the Watchtower has told them. They then feel confirmed in being in God's true organization on earth (like all cults claim). They are strongly encouraged to have friends and acquaintances that are only JW��s, thereby keeping outside examination to a minimum. They are told to shun those who leave their group, that way, there is no way to see why someone has left and no way to find out that they are in error from those who have found the truth in Christ. They are conditioned to shy away from any real biblically knowledgeable person. An example of this is frequently found on the Internet. I was once banned from a Jehovah's Witness chat room after I not only answered their objections to the Trinity and deity of Christ, but challenged them in return. Subsequently, my name was passed around to all other Jehovah's Witness rooms where I was banned from them as well. This is a frequent occurrence on the Internet where the Jehovah's Witnesses are alive and well. It is obvious that critical examination of their doctrines is not encouraged by the Watchtower Organization.

The Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be Christians because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think they are the only true church on earth. Yet, they deny the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are discouraged from looking into Jehovah's Witness history or old Watchtower literature which is replete with contradictions, altered doctrines, and false prophecies. Instead, they are indoctrinated repeatedly against basic Christian doctrines (Trinity, deity of Christ, etc) and into the notion that they alone are the true servants of God and that all others are either in "Christendom" or simply unbelievers.

Primarily, the Jehovah's Witness organization is a mind control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in "donations" to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.

"Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible." The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967. p. 587.

The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, and collects "contributions" for distribution of a multitudinous amount of literature, and expand its grip into the lives of its members and their families.

It is a non-Christian cult.
Reply:Jehovah's Witnesses ARE NOT christian. They DO NOT believe that Jesus was the son of God. So they aren't.

What's better: move bulbs or store them until autumn?

hi, i would like to move some crocus and tulip bulbs. the leaves have now pretty much died. will they grow if i take them out and move them to another spot? i would prefer this to storing them over the summer as this method seems pretty complicated. thanks for your advice!

What's better: move bulbs or store them until autumn?
Move them, they'll sit doing nothing much for a while, but will extend their roots for next year. Give them a week after the leaves brown off before digging, if you can.
Reply:You can move them if you want to, but make sure the leaves have completely died off before doing so.

If you decide to leave them where they are, they will naturalise and next year you will have more flowers.

Hope this helps.
Reply:You can leave crocus, tulip, and daffodil bulbs in year-round. I've had mine in the ground through Indiana winters since 2003 and they're still coming up well.

If detoxykall is so safe, then why can't the elderly, ppl under 18, people w/ high blood pressure etc use it?

DETOXYKALL is a liquid concentration which contains the following ingredients in its proprietary blend:

Aloe Vera Gel, Hoodia Gordonii, Arctium Lappa, Panax Ginseng, Taraxacum Officinale, Raphanus Sativus, Camellia Sinensis,Cynara Scolimus, Paullinia Cupana, Piper Nigrum, Crocus Sativus, Verbena Officinalis, Juniperus Communis, Angelica Archangelica, Opuntia Coccinellifera, Zingiber Officinale,Hibiscus Sabdariffa, Panicum Miliaceum, Sesamum Indicum, Rosa Canina, Nasturtium Officinale, Apium Graveolens, Tilia Cordata, Diospyros Kaki, Myrtus Communis, Undaria Pinnatifida, Laminaria Digitata, Chlorella Vulgaris.

It also contains: Ascorbic Acid,Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Deionized Water, Polysorbate-20 and Peppermint Oil.

so if it mostly contain herbs, why can't some people use it? especailly the elderly and people under 18? it only cleanse the body for toxic right? or is there something else to it that makes it harmful to the elderly and teens?

If detoxykall is so safe, then why can't the elderly, ppl under 18, people w/ high blood pressure etc use it?
The products states it should not be used by the elderly, children under 18, people being treated for high blood pressure, and especially if you are breastfeeding, depression, heart conditions, thyroid conditions, and or diabetes.

The product contains Hoodia and sodium both of which can increase your blood pressure.

If you read through their program it states that you should drink plenty of water, exercise, and eat a high protein / low carb diet. Well, if you just did this without using the Detoxykall you would loose weight in a healthy manner. Just because it contains herbs does not mean that it is safe or effective.

You can do a websearch on each herb listed by typing in "side effects of (list the name of the herb)" and read up on them all to see what they are used for and their safety.

Good luck and I hope this helped a bit!

Spring planting???

Ok, I live in Central illinois, I don't know what zone I am in but I would like to plant some tulips, crocus, lillies, etc... Can I plant those this spring and have them come up this year??? If so, when this spring should I plant them?

Spring planting???
Last fall is when you should have planted them. It is about time for Crocus to be blooming. You live in zone 5 or 6. You can still plant summer bulbs, ie gladiolous.

You may be able to force the spring bulbs.

You can always plant them, if they bloom great, if not they will bloom next year for sure.
Reply:Get ahold of bulbs called Peacock Gladiolus or Acidanthera. They are white with dark centers, they will come up if you plant them this spring. You should probably plant them in the middle of May. You can get them at Walmart, etc.
Reply:A nursery such as Hastings and Burgress have zone charts in their sales books. MAYBE on their websites? Tulips should be planted in the fall or winter I think but the people that sell them mail-order ship them whenever the planting time arrives. We are just getting some of our shrubs we ordered last fall because it is time to plant them. I also have some easter lillies already breaking the ground and some others are blooming. Check with your local nursery.
Reply:you should plant these in the fall. maybe you can plant some summer annuals in late spring and in the fall plant the tulips ect...

you can also try elephant ears after frost is gone. they are bulbs and all you do it plant them, watch them grow all summer, and then they die to the bulb in the fll. them dig up the bulb and put it in a 40 degree room where it doesnt reach freezing.

I planted fall bulbs along with blood meal-my dog started digging at them. I have several questions...?

I planted tulip, crocus and anemone bulbs. I used blood meal -thought it would be a good idea. My dod wasted no time digging up several. Im not sure if he was after the bulbs or the blood meal. So my questions? Can he get sick from either?(eatting the bulbs or bloodmeal?) I don't think he got at the tulips bulbs, the squirrels got some of those though. This took place yesterday and he seems fine, but I'm a little concerned anyway. And next question, are there certain bulbs that will attract dogs? are there some they don't like? I'm reading more about other options too, coffee grounds and egg shells? I appreciate any help anyone can offer....

I planted fall bulbs along with blood meal-my dog started digging at them. I have several questions...?
I honestly dont know if blood meal is harmful to animals. This you could find out by calling your vet. Your dog was not after the bulbs, it was after the blood meal. Dogs will go wild for it. We have had problems with squirrels and chipmonks going after the bulbs that we planted. We have had good results for the last few years with used, but strained, cat litter. Depending on the size of the area, you might want to consider running a chicken wire around it to keep the dog out. Good luck.
Reply:Go to your nursery and get garden wire and lay that down. The dog won't dig and neither will the squirrels. I use it in my vegetable garden. I don't think he will get sick unless he ate too much.
Reply:your problem with the dog is the blood meal next time use a good compose blood meal should hurt the dog
Reply:Soft dirt attracts dogs %26amp; cats like mud puddles attracts kids.

I think you planted you bulbs a little early in the season. But, definitely get some chicken wire and lay it on top of your plantings and secure the wire to ground (rocks, landscaping spikes). This will keep varmits from digging up your plantings and 'playing' in the soft dirt.

HI I am studying poems and can really use some help analyzing them please help me out, thank you?

The following poem is called

"The Winter Fields"

"Winds here, and sleet, and frost that bites like steel.

The low bleak hill rounds under the low sky.

Naked of flock and fold that fallows lie,

Thin streaked with meagre drift. The gusts reveal

By fits the dim grey snakes of fence, that steal

Through the white dusk. The hill-foot poplars sigh,

While storm and death with winter trample by,

And the iron fields ring sharp, and blind lights reel.

Yet in the lonely ridges, wrenched with pain,

Harsh solitary hillocks, bound and dumb,

Grave glebes close-lipped beneath the scrouge and chain.

Lurks hid the germ of ecstacy-the sum

Of life that waits on summer, till the rain

Whisper in April and the crocus come."

HI I am studying poems and can really use some help analyzing them please help me out, thank you?
Let me try to analyze this poem: Descriptively, the poem talks about the bleakness and emptiness of a winter landscape. Lifeless because of the absence of the sun, greeneries, animals. But the poem also says that this bleak picture will be transformed back to life when Spring comes. In essence the poem teaches us about the virtue of Hope.

When is a "frost" a "frost"? Is it any time temps dip below freezing after spring?

I live in Zone 5 (Chicago). We've had some mild weather recently and I've got lots of stuff starting to pop up in my garden -- crocus, bleeding heart, clematis, sedum, hydrangea, a magnolia tree and many shrubs are starting to leaf out. Some of these things have only little buds on them and some (many the bulbs) have flowers. For the next few nights now, temps are supposed to go below freezing. Is this considered a "frost" or do temps have to be mild for a while before you can call it "frost"? Do I have to cover any of my stuff?

When is a "frost" a "frost"? Is it any time temps dip below freezing after spring?
Frost is a combination of humidity level and temps. The plants that already present themselves are hardy and can withstand another freeze or frost! Your region is subject to possible frost thru April and into early May.

Protect your plantings by using a 10-10-10 with mineral granular fert the weekend after Easter. Put directly on soil at recommended amount. Mulch lightly with a hardwood shredded material. Any visable dieback from frost or freeze remove with hand shears ( dip those shears in a Clorox and Water solution thereafter).

Plant any really non-hardy plants around Mother's Day. Fill in the bed with a two-three inch layer of mulch and treat with a Preen with Pre-emergent agent. You'll be fine that way.

The fact that the plants reappear shows you they can and will survive. Good Luck
Reply:A frost comes when the dew freezes. This is why you usually have frost in the fall and the spring, in canada anyways. Below freezing does not always mean frost. You can simply protect your plants by laying some blankets over them, and then weight them so they wont blow all over your yard if a wind should come up. This way it protects them from the direct frost. Hope this helps, have a good one!

They should. The bulbs need to be dried out and stored until proper planting time. The iris can be put in a pot until you have a permanent place for them.

I need info about planting bulbs in an area that gets morning sun?

I'm attempting to help my friend plant a flower garden. She wants all bulbs planted this spring in front of her house. She gets morning sun on that area, but around noon it gets shady. I need to know everything! What do I need to do to prepare the earth for planting? They are crocus', tulips and daffodils. Any and all help would be greatly appriciated.

I need info about planting bulbs in an area that gets morning sun?
First off, planting them now will probably result in blooms NEXT year. You can place them in the fridge for a couple of weeks to "winter" and fool them if she wants blooms this year. Planting bulbs is easy, simply dig a shallow hole and plant the bulb (in a Tennessee climate) no more than 1 inch below the surface. Other than that they should do fine.
Reply:They should all do well in morning sun. When I plant a new bed I work up the soil well and instead of planting them singly I dig the depth of the whole plot at the same time..i.e. 3'x5' or whatever your plan is. Each pkg of bulbs will have the planting depth. Work a fair amount of bone meal into the soil in the bed.....it's a slow releasing plant food. Then set the bulbs in at the correct depth and cover with soil....daffodil and tulips will be deeper. I would plant the crocus in the front of the bed since they are considerably shorter. They won't be planted as deep either. I hope this helps. You can get more info if you type 'planting bulbs' in your search window....there should be lots of sites out there....good luck!

Of all the flowers which one is for you typical of spring or spring on the way?

Although I adore snowdrops and some are already about to burst open, i still think of more winter to come, but the daffodils epitomise spring for me. Crocus and daffies together, really really spring.

I bought some bulbs for the garden, not sure what to do with them?

they are daffodils, tulips, crocus, heisynth can i have a step by step guide

my garden has alot of clay so where is the best place and what type of soil . when will they flower

I bought some bulbs for the garden, not sure what to do with them?
1. decide where you want what to grow, remember tulips can grow in shady places, the others not.

2. get yourself a bucket of sand mixed with compost (for where there is clay)

3. dig a hole, big enough for 5-7 bulbs, or several single ones, bulbs should be at least 3 times their diameter apart and at least 3 times their height under the soil, so dig 4 x height deep

4. put a shovel/bit of your mixture of sand and soil in the hole, put bulbs on top, in clay cover them with your mixture, otherwise just fill in hole.

Flowering time depends on your varieties, crocus and daffodils from end of February, tulips and hyacinths from late march

That's basically it, best of luck!
Reply:put them in the groudn. first dig a hole, put in the bulb, cover it with dirt and water periodically. okkk?????????
Reply:First prepare the soil by adding alot of good fertile soil to it. I would get some miracle potting soil and add to the clay.

Then dig your holes. daffodils and tulips need to be 5 to 6 inches deep, hyacyinth's 4-5 inches deep and crocus 4-5 inches deep.

After you did the holes you want to sprinkle a little bone meal in the hole and then put a light coating of dirt over the bone meal because if you just set the bulb on the bone meal the bone meal will burn the bulb.

Next place buls one at a time in each hole until you have all of the holes filled. cover with dirt and water well.

Some people put straw over the planting area to protect from the winter weather. It will be up to you.

good luck. You should have flowers blooming by the middle of march if you plant in the fall.
Reply:I would turn the soil put in a good mulch.Plant the bulbs before the frost sets in.Crocus flower early,make sure you break the clay up.You can also add compost that helps to break down the clay.Try to place bulbs in sunny position.Goodluck
Reply:Any bulb planting you do now is for next Spring. You want to mix your clay with growing soil, but clay is not a bad thing to have for it holds water longer. I would take a walk around my yard and try to envision what colors would be prettiest in any given spot and plant a mixture of bulbs there. You want to have your planting done by Halloween so that they are safely in the ground before the first hard frost. The beauty about b ulbs is that once they are planted..you forget about them. Mother Nature will let them bloom as the weather permits.
Reply:as you have a clay soil put some sand at the bottom of the hole before planting to stop the bulbs from rotting and plant them twice the depth of the bulb and you WILL have a good display next spring happy gardening
Reply:you need to put compost inwith the soil set them about 5 inches apart and 3inches deep they will bloom in the spring good luck

Reply:JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS %26amp; THEY WILL BE FINE. ALL OF THOSE WILL DO BEST IN SUNNY SPOTS. WHEN I PLANT BULBS I LIKE TO MIX IN A LOT OF PEET MOSS WITH WHATEVER KIND OF DIRT IT IS I HAVE, IT MAKES FOR GREAT SOIL %26amp; THEY GROW LIKE CRAZY. JUST DIG A LITTLE DEEPER AND FILL WITH YOUR MIXTURE. IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF BULBS YOU CAN MAKE ONE BIG SPOT FOR EACH KIND OF BULB AND MASS PLANT THEM. IT WILL BE EASIER THAN PLANTING EACH TINY LITTLE BULB IN IT'S OWN HOLE %26amp; THEY WILL LOOK NICER %26amp; MORE NATURAL. ALL THAT STUFF WILL BLOOM NEXT SUMMER IF YOU GET THE CORRECT DEPTH AND HAVE THEM POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. HOPE THIS HELPS... HAVE FUN, THEY WILL LOOK GREAT NEXT YEAR.
