  HOW "TRUE" ARE JW HOURS ?

  by josephus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a jw i admit to "massaging" my hours nearly every month to keep up with the expected amount.. my brother never put in hir report for nearly 2 years.

  i was amazed when i asked the secretary he told me "i allways put a few hours in if people forget" !!!

  so my brother was a regular publisher despite not going out on service.. he was one man.

  Big house between 30 minutes to an hour of a major metropolitan area like Seattle or San Francisco (can’t stand humidity), but far enough away to have some land for a horse and a lama or something, a creek, several big dogs and some trees for the kids to play in. Boat to go water skiing with my family and friends. A Bently and a Ferrari in the garage. Make money off of skydiving and political activism and investments. Newest, coolest, most high-tech backpacking gear. Vacation home in Baja on the water. Loving, laid back wife who likes to bring other women into the bed every once in a while.

  The Bible is full of crap. Check this link for an extensive listing of where the holy bible proves it's mind-numbing inaccuracy over and over.

  http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/science/long.html

  A few examples. One creation account says Earth is made before the light and stars. Wrong. Bible says all animals were originally herbivores. Bullshit. Does anyone really believe that humans once lived up to 900 years? If you say yes, you need help. Philistines didn't live in Canaan 'till way after Abraham, unless you believe the bible that is. The Earth floats in space, it is set upon nothing and rests upon nothing, expecially the "pillars" mentioned in the bible. Oh yeah, and the sun does not move around the earth. The earth shakes because of tectonic plate movement, not 'cause got is mad. There are no unicorns. No dragons. The moon does not produce it's own light. Stars can't fall from the sky or be stamped on. Every blind, dumb, or epaleptic person is not possessed by demons. The mustard seed is not the smallest seed. And revalation? Well I'm not going there.

  California Election a GO for 7 OCT

  i'm assuming ya'll knew that....i was really suprised though, in reading the decision...that the phrase "in a nutshell" was used by the judges in writing the decision....i didn't know that was proper legalese.

  Double edge, I heard that too but I heard that the response from Cruz's camp was "it's already spent." That should turn out interesting.

  I wish I was still in California. I'd vote for Arnold twice. Any time some guy comes in who doensn't need to sell his soul to the special interests to get into office and doesn't give a damn about pissing people off in his own party, that guy's got my vote. Making career politicians shake in their boots and fear for their jobs is a good thing, it keeps 'em honest. Or at least a little less vile.

  Cow Palace hu? I remember World Groove '94 there. Well, actually I remember some cool lights, some warm flesh, and the lead singer from DeLight looking hotter than Death Valley.

  This lady comes into the hospital in a coma. The doctors try but they can't seem to do anything for her so they keep her on life support and monitor her vitals. A nurse comes in the next day to give her sponge bath and notices that whenever the wet sponge gets near her "jade gate" her vital signs pick up. She gets the doctor and shows him. He gets an idea and calls the woman's husband to the hospital. He explains to the husband that he has an idea and asks if the husband would be willing to "do oral" with his wife. It might be nothing but it's worth a shot. So the hubby says "sure" and they close the curtain around the couple. A short while later the vital signs go flat and the doctor yells thru the curtain, "What happened?" The husband replies, "I think she choked."

  very curious...there's a reason for this question.

  does anyone perceive if there is a proclivity toward a certain engine if one is, say, computer savvy?

  Why thank you Aztec. I can't immagine the burden that he was under. To march out from your home knowing full well that only your end awaits you in some far off place. To have to choose the 300 souls that you will condem to certain death. To have to face their families as their king after having made the selection. To stay at the battle ground day after day having been lucky enough to postpone the reaper for another few hours. To keep your troops advancing to the line of battle instead of fleeing. And to lead from the front like that in such a circumstance is amazing. Truely a man's man. Interesting to think of how the world would be different without that supreme sacrifice.

  Leonidas, King of Sparta.

  He lead three hundred brave Spartan hoplites to stand and die at Thermopylae against the invading Persian myriads. Their heroic self sacrifice 1) allowed the allies at Thermopylea to retreat and fight another day 2) gave precious time for the forces of other Greek city-states to organize and form an effective defense 3) gave inspiration to the remaining free armies of Hellas by showing them that the Persian war machine was in fact capable of defeat and suseptable to resistance 4) helped to preserve the birth of western civilization from dying in the cradle.

  Last year my girl's daughter was in 3rd grade. We lived in Cupertino, CA. This area has a lot of newly immigrated families from (mainly) the Middle East, Asia, and Mexico. The teacher sent the little one home with a notice that there was going to be a "culture day" in her classroom. The kids were to wear "cultural" clothing and bring "cultural" food to share. My girl is white, her daughter's father is black. Both sides of the family have been in America for as far back as anyone can tell. We decided that the little one's culture was American. She was going to wear jean shorts and a t-shirt, both with American flags and sentiments on them, and bring burgers and fries to class. The teacher responded that we could not do this because it wasn't "cultural."

  Does anyone else think that the teachers reaction was wrong? Does anyone else think the teacher's response is symptomatic of a general disregard and/or dismissal of American culture in this country today?

  P.S. We fought it and sent the little one in the garb and with the food of her rightful culture anyway.
