yeah i used to do this all the time. while i was in college and living by myself the meeting night fell on the sma e night a $6 bottomless cup at The Cantina. I would head out of the meeting during the announcements ( i always sat in the back) and then go home change real quick and meet my buddies at the bar. $6 for all you can drink was a hellova deal!

For the Gearheads...What happens when you have too much time...

santa came early this year...new stoppers for my little project/work truck i bought last year.

dontcha just love the look of drilled and slotted rotors?

anybody else out there have a project going?

jaredg

DrMike,

I'm sure WLG bought them already drilled and slotted instead of machining them himself.

As far as projects go, Project Turbo M3 is on hold for the mean time due to purchasing a house. As it stands now I have a performance chip, cold air intake, lightweight flywheel, short throw shift kit, stiffer tranny mounts, stiffer rear strut mounts, HID headlights w/ angle eyes. Next will prbably be new wheels, I want to get the 18" M3 CSL replicas and a fully adjustable suspension. Then the next step will be for me to purchase a daily driver that I can putt around in while I do some major engine work to get it ready for some boost. Once all the engine work is done I'll be routing the piping for the intake, turbo, intercooler, and pruchase a 4" turbo exhaust w/ no cats (my car is a 1995 so next year I won't have to pass emissions whooohooo). It's going to be a long project but well worth it when I'm done. It's going to be a really nice weekend track car.

In 70 words or less - Tell one person the 'truth about the Truth'...

by AK - Jeff in

without use of profanity, vulgarity, or sarcasm.

tell this hypothetical person who is still a dyed in the wool witness clearly why he/she should leave.

do it in such a way that he/she will not bolt for the door screaming "get behind me satan" - in other words, use tact to anti-witness.. jeff

I was actually thinking about this last night. I was thinking about how even though my relationship with my parents is pretty good despite me being disfellowshipped, I still hate that every time I see them or talk to them that they tell me that they still have hope for me coming back despite how much I tell them that I will not. So the next time they try and put the guilt trip on me and tell me that they can't be happy until I come back I'm going to say...

"Listen! The fact that you guys are so unhappy because of a religion that encourages you to shun your own son, is enough for me to never want to be a part of that religion again. If you would do some research for yourself in books, not published by the WTS, you would find out that scripture can have mutliple interpretations and sometimes the interpretations make more sense then the interpretation given by the WTS. And if you do some research into the history of the Bible and Christianity you'll find that it's built on very shaky ground. You must come to the realization that you are unhappy because of the religion that you choose to follow, not because of me. And don't telll me that the BIble says this and that becasue I don't even believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. So this is where we stand. You can take it or leave it but know this. I am a good person and I believe that when it comes to good people vs. bad people that I am on God's side. I don't have all the answers for what is going to happen when we die or what the future holds but I do have enough confidence to trust in God that whatever does happed he will take care of me. I'm sorry that our relationship as a family is comprimised but please open your eyesto see the REAL reason why it is."

knocking takes an unprecedented, inside look at how jehovah's witnesses have intersected with society beyond the doorstep.

by fighting for their right to live and worship as they choose, jehovah's witnesses won legal victories that protected civil liberties and free choice for all americans.
