Arby's - they have a great BBQ sauce for their roast beef sandwiches. Whenever I am there I get extra packets of the sauce to use at Hardee's because their BBQ sauce sucks (there is no Arby's locally where I live). They used to have an "ArbyQ" sandwich that was made using that sauce - fantastic! I only wish they kept that on their menu.

No Place For the Devil? Why?
by Inquisitor in"for centuries, many people thought of the devil as a horned, cloven-hoofed creature clad in red and using a pitchfork to cast wicked humans into a fiery hell...undoubtedly, however, such misconceptions have caused millions to question the existence of the devil or to think that the term applies only to a principle of evil.
" w06 jan 15 p.21 .
so the fds thinks that people no longer believe in the devil because:

But her decision will have consequences that can effect everyone she knows, especially those who aren't jw - so others have to live with her decision as well. -

Here is something I posted on another site about something my friend and I did our Senior year in high school.
... Yes indeed, I do remember Mrs. H. You are correct - it was Marty and I who put together the infamous "Mau Mau" tape. The genesis of the story is as follows: first period Social Problems our Senior year (1969) and somehow the topic of pen pals came up. Suddenly Marty raises his hand and in his best Tommy Smothers imitation he starts to talk about "George", his Mau Mau pen pal.
Now, Mrs. H hated Marty but she was so happy to see him participating in class that she started asking him questions. By this time of year we had discovered just how gullible she was (early in the year Marty had her convinced that Telly Savalas had invented the telephone!). Marty sensed another opportunity to snooker her so he started spinning this incredible tale about "George", all the while making it more and more outrageous.
"How do you communicate with each other, Marty?"
Thinking quickly on his feet Marty answers, "By cassette tape." Her curiosity piqued, she enquired about how George learned English, to which Marty answered, "He learned English at the local Peace Corps center." All the while she kept saying how "fascinating" it all was.
At lunch I came up with the idea of making one of George's "letters" and bringing it to school to share in class with Mrs. H. Marty wasn't too sure she would fall for it, but I figured she had swallowed so much bait by then that a little more might make her completely comatose, a rather interesting prospect to me. So that night I brought my bongo drums and a tape recorder to the Holiday Station where we both worked and we proceeded to engineer the tape.
We discovered that the clear plastic wrap that shirts were sold in made a perfect sounding "rainstorm" when crinkled up right next to the microphone. We used the bongo drums to tap loud and alternately soft sounds while continuing the rainstorm sound effects, all this liberally sprinkled with crackling explosions of "thunder", courtesy of Marty mouthing the sound close to the microphone. This "letter" continued for 20 minutes.
Along with the tape we tore out pictures from National Geographic Magazine which we felt matched Marty's story. Now I don't remember if we actually did this (and if any of my classmates remember please let me know) but there was talk of taking dice and breaking them up and then passing the pieces off as elephant tusk. If Mrs. H were to ask about the black dots the answer Marty would provide is that they were cavities.
We brought the tape to school (the next day?) and played it in class and passed around the pictures (and tusk?). Of course the whole class knew what was going on and it was a terrific exercise in self control for us students not to completely lose control of ourselves. But Mrs. H was absolutely enthralled. When she asked about the meaning of the drumming Marty's imagination came shining through once again.
"A big storm is coming and George's tribe is signaling to the tribe nearby that it is coming their way, and they are answering back." Mrs. H asked, "What does George's tribe do during storms, Marty?" to which he replies, "When it's a really big storm like this one, they all go down to the local Peace Corps center and wait it out. Then after the storm they take their grass huts down and hang them up on the clothes lines at the Peace Corps center and let them dry out."
This was all just too interesting for our class alone so Mrs. H. asked Marty if he would be willing to bring it in for the afternoon class to hear as well. Of course Marty was only too happy to accomodate her request, so he got to pull another coat of wool over her eyes in the same day. Naturally, word got out to the other class and we all looked forward to another Oscar winning performance from Marty, and of course he rose to the occasion. Hey, thanks for the reminder, Nancy. It was fun getting the story in print. And please people, don't think too badly of us. I'm a teacher myself and I've had my share of stunts pulled on me. What goes around comes around. -

A belief That's Truth?

although it might not be of importance to you, but what do you think will happen to us?
i guess this is just my confusion.

No belief is the "truth", it can't be because it's only a belief. You asked, "what happens now?" Now, that's a question worth pursuing. See what's happening right this very moment without any beliefs applied to what's seen. All beliefs are of the past, but right now this very moment is free of the past, so why contaminate it by slapping a belief on it? Right now this very moment is all you'll ever have - the past and the future are mental creations only. Live your life fully present to what's happening now and you will have no need of any beliefs whatsoever. Then, whatever "truth" is, can reveal itself.

Guys and flowers, whadda ya think??
by Super_Becka inalright, i'm looking for some opinions from the male portion of our jwd audience.. i'm in a long-distance relationship, like i've said here a million times before, so doing special things for my guy is kinda hard.
not only is it long-distance, it's international, too.
we're 3500 miles apart and i'm a starving student, so i can't just swing by for a visit to do something special for him on the fly.. last semester, i sent him a bunch of flowers in his favourite colour, a special "i miss you" bouquet from a local florist that i found online.

Personally, I'd love it if a girlfriend sent me flowers. The beauty of flowers reflects the feeling between cherished ones more pristinely than utilitarian gifts.
