21Danger when pumping gas
by xenawarrior ini saw this on a news show last night and i had never heard anything about it before.
since i'm up till all hours of the night, i don't know if it was a prime time news show or late night so i can't tell you the name of the program.. it seems that there is a danger when pumping gas when folks return to sit inside their vehicle etc., they may pick up static electricity and then when going back to the nozzle, a spark from that static electricity can cause an explosion.
rubbing your feet on the carpeted mats or sliding across the seat to get into the glove compartment can all pick up static and then, if the gas nozzle is the next thing you touch, it could cause an explosion.

Better yet, ask them if they would be willing to bet their FAITH on it. If they are so sure that it's so soon, challenge them to quit the religion in 10 years if everything is still business as usual. I remember my step mom when I quit in '94 telling me "you'd better come back soon, it's not far off, look for the signs, you know what they are." Well, shit in the Middle East hasn't gotten one bit more peaceful since then so I doubt anyone will be saying "peace and security" anytime soon. Guess I have a few more years to enjoy living before I have to come back to "the truth."

LOL Mary. He must REALY not have wanted to go. I just played sick when I wanted out.
Petty, I am absolutly opposed with the shcool of thinking that blames everybody for bad behavior except the person acting out the behavior. If a black man robs a store, it is not because there used to be slaves, it's because the man is bad. If someone becomes a prostitute, it's not because Howard Stern has strippers on his show. "it is we as all citizens that should take the blame" Well you go ahead, I'm not taking any blame whatsoever for someone else's stupidity or for another couple's bad parenting. This kid was in high school and should have known better.

A local kid here recently lit himself on fire. People are already screaming that the jackass movie should be pulled from theaters. Those people sure PISS ME OFF!
1. I saw the movie, and I may be wrong but I don't remember anyone lighting themselves on fire
2. The movie shows Jonny Knocksville being concussed and bleeding from the head. It shows that there are negative consequenses.
3. There is a disclaimer before and after the movie telling people not to do the things in the movie.
4. Anyone stupid enough to pour gasoline on their shirt, put it on, and then light it on fire deserves to be removed from the gene pool for the betterment of the species.
5. It was the kid, not the jackass crew, that lit himself on fire. Blame the right person for this act of idiocy.
6. My girl and I didn't let her daughter watch the movie. Maybe someone should be pointing fingers at the parents of this kid who obviously isn't emotionaly mature enough to know the difference between movies and reality instead of blaming the movie.
I just want to say to all those nothing-better-to-do, self rightous, meddeling, anti-first ammendment, loudmouths that you didn't stop Married With Children, you didn't stop Beavis & Butthead, you didn't stop South Park and you ain't stopping jackass so SHUT UP!

Dan, you're not being quite fair to us here on the board. Here you are sending us on an emotional rolercoaster without all the appropriate information that we have a right to expect. You are morally obligated to provide us with that information. You must approach said co-worker and explain that you need a picture of her cleavage to post on this board.

I suspect this will sound wierd
by buckthesystem ini have been reading about the witnesses for some time - but the information i read is always massively biased against.
it is even hard to tell if this web site is exclusively designed for aggrieved ex-witnesses.
i am at a loss here.

Buck, you have said several times that you find ex-JWs to be disproportionaly intense in their feelings toward their former religion. I would ask you to consider that in itself as a very telling indictment of the JW religion. Almost any ex-JW site will end up being an anti-JW site. This is because the JW religion demands nearly inhuman sacrifices of its flock including alienation of family, preventable sacrifice of life, and utter submision to authority in everything. Once a member forces him- or herself to realize the inconsistancies, contradictions, and hypocracy rife withing the organization, they come to the painful understanding that all of their heart wrenching and supremely difficult sacrifices were for nothing whatsoever. That can breed quite a bit of hatred and anger.

Governing Body looking for work
by Iwasyoungonce inif the governing body of jehovah witnesses suddenly found themselves out of the power seat that they currently refuse to vacate what do you think might be a fitting job for them to fill?.
i vote for the gb to start making fortune cookie predictions.
finally they could put some of that self appointed spiritual powers to some worth while means.

They have years of experience in being crooked, lying, covering up inconsistantcies, and making people believe things that arent true, all with a trusting smile on their faces. Perfect use car salesmen.

I probably would have come up with that idea on my own, but thanks for saving me the time! You gotta check out the FYF "Xena." You'd dig it.

Just a little something to marvel over....
by Adam inremember, this is not a tommy gun with puney pistol or rifle bullets.
this is a shotgun with buckshot or shotgun slugs.
wow!.

Well like any man, I am fasinated by the sheer firepower of this gun and my first instinct is "I wanna shoot one of those!" But I mean for the damage it would do, wouldn't you want a grenade or something? It just seems that the streetsweeper is a little impractical. The kickback would rip your arm off or bludgon your shoulder I would think.
