  NFL Playoffs: Week-By-Week Predictions

  by Funchback in

  1. social
  2. physical

  so, here are my first round playoff predictions (as if any of you care...lol!

  colts 23, jets 15 (the jets had their super bowl vs. the packers).

  packers 21, falcons 17 (i have a hunch that atlanta may pull the upset but you can't root against the pack at lambeau).

  I'm an AFC fan. Oakland was my favorite until I moved to Tn and we got the Titans. Oakland lost the SuperBowl desire along time ago. They have folded early in the past and are going to do it again. The Jets should be watched closely, they are dangerous. I am a Titan fan now, but am also realistic. They have a 50-50 shot at the SuperBowl. Oakland has to be knocked out for them to have a serious shot at it.

  On the NFC side, I think the Giants are going to suprise everybody. They'll be back at the SuperBowl again.

  This weeks predictions: Jets 28 Colts 17

  Giants 24 Niners 10

  Packers 27 Falcons 21

  Browns 24 Steelers 21

  Can't wait for the Games to begin!!!

  i was talking to an ex-elder whos father an elder for 30 years who also served as the congregations p/o and as the old congregations servant prior to the 1972 arrangement.. .

  he stated that he does not believe in god any longer as his father whilst serving as the cong p/o had been molesting his 2 sisters and his 2 daughters.

  this happened over a 25 year period.

  Horrible news Martin. Hope you can find some news clippings.

  Experimentation with sharp knives sounds good, but, locking him up and throwing away the key seems to be what will more likely happen, hopefully.

  Happy New Year Animal, and everyone on the Forum!!

  Tink and I are going to concentrate on our health first of all. We are going to plan out an exercise routine, change our diet (No more pie and ice cream for awhile.LOL), and both of us are going to quit smoking. The last one will be the hardest, but were going to do it!

  Personally, I would like to continue to improve on the way I deal with people. I very rarely get agitated with anyone. Ocassionally, though, I lose site of my goals and let ignorant people get the best of me. I'm going to do what I can to help locally with abused children and those who suffer from Alzheimers Disease. I have been contributing monetarily with this for some years now, but I am going to look into ways to volunteer some time. Tink's Uncle is suffering from Alzheimers and my Aunt passed away after suffering for 3 years with it.

  That's all for now.

  I enjoy this Forum and I enjoy all your friendship.

  Animal, have a safe and wonderful trip, give my greatings to Viv and Plm and others.

  My opinions stay right here Ging. My discision to leave the WTS was my own, and anyone else that comes here to discuss things that are bothering them about the way they are being treated or what they have discovered about the WTS will get my support because of the very valid information I have digested.

  Thanks for your comments and stick around awhile. Please do not Hit and Run.

  well, anyway, i thought it was about time i said "hi and it's good to meet you all".

  like many of you, i too have a story but not ready to share it yet, as i have two beautiful daughters trapped in the borg and i'd hate to do anything to jeopardize my relationship with them, you never know who lurks around or am i being paranoid!

  WTS bans American football for "true"...

  by ozziepost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a magazine article, the wts has warned the r&f dubs that going to the football this new year is "pagan" and is engaging in a "false religious festival".. to support this teaching, the wts quotes from the encyclopedia britannica:"football games in the u.s. have all the external trappings of religious festivals .

  one side representing evil and the other good, depending upon the viewpoint of the members of the audience.

  leading the congregation are the priestesses (cheerleaders) .

  Interesting information Ozzie. Thanks for posting it. Man, the Borg rulers are stopping at nothing to shackle their subjects. I have exactly 2 hours and 40 minutes till Tn Titans football!!! Next thing they'll go after is Rugby and Soccer. Tennis seems safe as long as the Williams sisters rule.
