seeing as how us brits are so acclaimed across the world, ie, the the beloved of the french.
some of these sit-coms do actually exist, btw.
how do you rate the one's that are real?.
Mike, I've only seen a few.
Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson, is hilarious.
AbFab. Well what can I say there? Absolutely twisted. And Saffie is HOT!!!!
Fawlty Towers.....John Cleese. Nuff said.
And then of course it bears mentioning one of Great Britain's greatest contributions to the world: Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Mike, who didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

tom green, the convicted polygamist in utah, is requesting (through his lawyers of course) that the supreme court overturn his convictions based both on the supreme court ruling on the texas sodomy law and the massachucetts supreme court ruling on gay marriage.. so begins the trip down the slippery slope.
Dang! Tried to post once and it got lost.
Yeru, don't let it bother you too much. The guy's a wacko with wacko lawyers.
Personally I don't buy the stuff about how once you legally recognize gay marriage then you have to include everything else. People in both the right and left wing get way too worked up over things the government has no business in in the first place.
Mike.
haha, i just recieved this email... i thought it was too funny, while you read it just picture yourself doing it!!!.
** 14 things to do in a walmart while your wife or significant other is taking their sweet time shopping!
1. get 24 boxes of condoms & randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking.. 2. set all the alarm clocks in housewares to go off at 5 minute intervals.. 3. make a trail of tomato juice on the floor to the rest rooms.. 8. when a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, "why can't you people just leave me alone?".
Wanna take the fun a little further?
Mike.
i've heard the expression a few times here but have normally not taken much notice.
i've been exited for 31 years and 4 months, well before the onset of elders, reproofs and marking.. i understand the first 2 but am all at sea about the the third.
someone please tell me exactly what "marking" is and how one becomes marked or a marker.. or markee!
"Branded" almost.
Exactly! And a brand doesn't go away easily. They just won't come out and call it what it is, which is shunning. Even in the KH "marked" ones get the cold shoulder, at least that's been my experience.
Someone earlier said that the elders first meet with the dub to be marked. Not always. Many times it comes as a total suprise to the mark-ee. Individual elders will also unilaterally deliver a marking in some cases. They can take a local needs part or a regular Service Meeting part right out of the Kingdom Ministry (or Kingdom Service, whatever they're calling it these days) and put enough spin on it and the congregation comes away thinking they just heard a marking talk. Even a simple comment during the Watchtower Study from the right elder can be a marking talk.
Now of course in these cases they have to put a little follow-up on it to make it stick. A "marking" is never a one-blow - um, assault, let's call it what it is - the marking talk is just the first shot fired, the tracer round to get everyone's attention. The follow-up shots come from elders' wives, m/s's, and others "in the know" and we all know how quickly and efficiently the congregation's grapevine works. And of course as the intel travels through the congregation's gossip network, the verdict is always guilty and the offense grows into a grandiose sin against the holy spirit itself.
You can't get any more cultish than the practice of marking.
Mike. used to be marked but some GoJo took it off.
al qaeda: countdown for ?biggest operation yet inside america?.
monday, november 24, al qaeda marked eid al fitr, the festival closing the muslim festival of ramadan, with a dramatic warning.
debkafile?s counter-terror sources reports that a message published over al qaeda?s electronic channels and websites declared that the countdown has begun for the biggest operation ever carried out in the united states.
I think the Chinese have the largest.
Yeah but our troops are taller.
Mike.
our apartment mail boxes just got raided last night.. <---cancelling credit card accounts.

Craig, be sure to put a fraud alert on your credit report. All you have to do is call one of the big three and the other two are automatically alerted.
Mike.
first one: " OZZZZYYYYYYYYY! "

Sounds like a fake to me JH. Attacking communications with our armies means attacking military targets. Not gonna happen. Military targets shoot back which is why Al Qaeda prefers civilian targets. Duh!

jesus dies to end sin and death in 33 ce yet we are all sinning and dying 1970 years later.
hmmm.... .
jesus is proclaimed king of god's kingdom and rules over the earth in 1914 yet we still have hundreds of governments ruling over the world today.
Bradley will you just shut up and wait on Jehovah 's organization for cryin out loud?!
2034 was just planted mis-information to throw us 'postates off. It's actually 2014. Duh!
Mike.
ah yes, the ?truth?
?and not by the standards of one publishing company in which we all here share something in common with.
as i?ve sat silently for months, browsing this board on occasion, and i still can?t believe there are people here who blind themselves with ?patriotism?
Six, what was Bill Clinton's response to the first bombing of the World Trade Center? He was offered Osama Bin Laden and what happened? What was his response to the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole? What was his response to the slaughter of the soldiers in Mogadishu?
If what we're seeing now in Iraq and Afghanistan is partial and distracted, well that serves notice to the world that we can deliver major ass-whoopins with one hand tied behind our backs and one eye covered.
What would Bill Clinton have done after 9/11? Bombed another aspirin factory or Chinese embassy? Who knows? He was too busy getting his bobo honked in the White House. Besides, it's a matter of public record that he "loathed the military" (his own words).
Mike.
