THe Chevy Nova had a very bad run in south america and spanish-speaking countries, because NOVA means 'Dosent Go' in spanish. Someone lost their job over that one hehehe.

ok, favorite/most despised cars thread.. i'm a mechanic (undercar) in the states, and american mechanics for the most part really don't like most european cars.
the words saab, renault, and peugot will send most mechanics on an early lunch break that may last into next week or until the car leaves the shop.. a swedish person once joked about skoda cars to me in a chat room.
what do you call a skoda with twin pipes (dual exhaust)?

jehovah's witness evangelist killed.
after hearing word man stabs sectarian with knives .
moskovskii komsomolets, 31 july 2001 .
Solokov immediately told them that he recently served a prison term for murder. However the confession did not bother the women at all. Moreover, one of them, forty-nine-year-old Valentina Goncharova, presented the recent convict religious pamphlets and even invited him to visit her at any time if he had questions about the Bible
The JW's love recruiting loonies, her own lack of common sense led to her death. The JW ranks are FILLED with the mentally unstable and unbalanced. I feel very sorry for the poor woman, but c'mon! The guy TOLD you he is a murderer??? And you're like 'Yeah thats cool, lets get together sometime and chat'

the last time there was a "war" online, the watchtower tried to close down the watchtower observer, and they threatened me by suing me, the lot.
gary busselman wrote this little story, and i guess a refreshment of what he said could be interesting: .
imho, kent's no dummy.
Yup, Kents site was a primary source for my leaving the JW's when I was 18, along with free minds and another one called watchtower unplugged, what happened to that one?
Anyway, I dont know how I can be a solider or spy since I am a DA JW, although never baptized, but lemme know. I live real close to DC and can go to the library of congress or other kule places, even the suprem court :) My girlfriend here is a native norweigan speaker if that helps, and im young ang hip with a smooth attitude hehe.
So yeah Kent, sign me up for the corpes! hehe. Im also just 4 hours from brooklyn hellhole, i mean bethel.
Ok, so lemme know. I dont know anyone who speaks german but there are good online translators like babel fish at yahoo.com that will translate stuff literally, but you will get e very good idea of that is being said.

arguments from natural theology are at times needed when christians defend the faith against atheological attacks.
yet, for the christian, such apologetic maneuvers are not required in and of themselves, for christians know that they are not in a relationship with a force or an abstract superlative entity devised by human adroitness.
no, christians heed the sensus divinitatis and the confirmatory evidence that god provides to those who love him.
duns the scot said:
so the Christian, being in an intimate relationship with Almighty God, does not doubt God's existence
Sure its eays to not deny the existence of your wife or child since you SEE them everyday, COMMUNICATE with them every day, as in you talk to them and they respond verbally. You can even email them, phone them, write a letter, etc.
You can touch them, fell them, smell them, be annoyed by their irritating habbits etc.
But with god, you never see him, he never talks to you, he never does anything. There is much scientific evidence for the existence of say, my cat, but there is szilch for god. Why? because he is non-corporeal. And he does not communicate with peoples.
SO you see why alot of people don not beleive in god, because if he exists, refuses to show himself.
How can you have an 'intimate' relationship with a person when that person 1) never shows himself 2) never talks to you, and when you talk to him you can never do it to his face, you have to send him something and hope he reads it or hears it, because he never sends you any verification that he has received it 3) in fact, you have never seen this person and noone else has either. You have just been told since you were little that this is a good person.
to me, that is not at all 'intimate'..in fact youd start to think that if he did exsists, he doesent really care much for you.

last night, i found myself wondering aloud about something i never thought i would consider: purchasing a gun.
previously, i had very strong anti-gun sentiments.
i felt, and still do to some extent, that freely available guns in this country are an immediate threat to children and add to the violent perception others have of americans.
I would rather die than own a gun. I know we live in a violent world. I will not let myself be influenced by that to want to use violence myself. Once I cross that line, my existence becomes meaningless for I will have lost my very persona.
This view wouldn't have boded well during world war II, we'd all be speaking german and all be aryan.
violence in the world isnt just an invention of man, the world, left by itself without humans would still have many violent deaths and killing. Killing is a way of life and is natural, especially when survival is at stake.

just curious they seem to have an endless supply of literature but they never ask me to pay them for the books.
and i never see a collection basket being passed around.
so how do they get their money???.

yeah except all their pictures on the chat boards look like this:
i took this pic last week on the family farm in bonnie scotland.
her ladyship is busily munching on her toast and marmalade whilst 2 of the dogs watch and drool.. my question is this: both the dogs are top pedigree animals and weigh in at 140 pounds each.
can you identify the breed?.
I still think its odd she is consuming him. Are they a tasty breed?
hi simon,.
in astra's thread the questio was posed as to whether the internet is making a difference.. my question to you is, "how quickly are the ranks of registered posters growing on this site?
my bookmark brings me right into the main forum, so i dont usually check the numbers.
Of course this could range from 30,000 different people each week to just one person visiting 30,000 times (in which case it must be logical )
thats about 178 visits an hour every hour 24 hours a day for 7 days. Pretty impressive.
