Want Fries With That?
by jeanniebeanz inlast evening, the family and i went for our traditional monday "i?m too tired to cook" meal at mickiedees.
our son can never stop talking about his order; hamburger happy meal with a boy toy, and make sure they don?t put pickles, mustard or onions on the burger.
we hear that all the way there on most occasions.. for some reason, maybe because i?ve been spending so much time here the past few days, hubby and i got onto the subject of biblical doctrine and religion, punctuated by at least 10 chorus of "mom?don?t forget.

We ranged all over the place; the Trinity, making sure of your reasons for what you believe, hell fire (he believes, I haven?t made up my mind yet), heaven, nature of the soul; I mean we really got into it and believe me we do not see eye to eye on some of those things.
It was after ordering our dinner and heading home we realized that our son was not speaking up, and mildly alarmed that our heated debate had worried him, I asked, "honey, what you thinkin?" He replied:
"I hope those morons didn?t put mustard on my hand-burger again."
Man, ...adults worry about all the wrong things.

You know those god-awful joke lists you build up over the years?...........
by nicolaou inanytime i see something screech across a room, and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, i have to laugh, because what is that thing?.
as i bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very pleasurable, until i realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but a human head!.
as the evening sky faded from a salmon color, to a sort of flint gray, i thought back to the salmon i caught that morning, and how gray he was, and how i named him flint.. ---------.

Many people don't realize that playing dead can help not only with bears, but also at important business meetings.
Doesn't always work. I've tried it!
Thanks.

What's up with the biblical story of drunken Noah?
by melmac infrom http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mdrunknoah.html.
dear straight dope:.
genesis 9:20-25 seems to be one of the strangest stories in the bible.

Would have to have been a crackerjack of a hangover to make Noah overreact by cursing his grandson if all he did was tell everyone Grandpa is nakie, snicker, snicker.
Me thinks some other hanky panky was afoot.

JWs and Gnomes
by helios inhere in the uk we are very keen on gardening and many of our gardens are adorned with various features.
but one that stands out to many people is the love many uk residents have for gnomes.
now you must understand that whatever you read about political trends and devotions to various elected governments the real divisions in the uk are not along party lines.

Welcome, Helios.
What deep childhood trauma made you so intolerant of Gnomes; do you know?
Yeah, Witnesses are the most superstitious people I have ever met. Remember coming home from visiting my sister one time, and my *ex* had thrown out all of my pegasus and unicorn figurines, pens, etc., because he was convinced that the reason I was not following his 'spiritual lead' was because the items had placed the house under demonic control.
Keep in mind, my dad was an elder, and most of the pegasus and unicorn things I'd accumulated had been as a teenager in his household... Superstitious and un-united to boot.

George Carlin
by Golf inforward .
george carlin (his wife recently died...) .
isn't it amazing that geoge carlin - iconoclastic and mouthy comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent ... and so very appropriate post 9-11. .

Golf,
I always enjoyed Carlin, even if he didn't write the letter.
It's a classic and thought provoking. Thanks for posting it.

How much increase could they absorb?
by JH insince most congregations have sufficient elders and ms, i was wondering what size increase in numbers in a small amount of time would cause them trouble?.
imagine if everybody that's df'd would all go back to the hall at the same time.
that would surely be a huge headache for them.

I gotta agree with MJ, it'd be great if the all *stopped* attending. Pay the society this months payment on the kh loan? We can't; our members suddenly disappeared! hahaha <ahem>
Actually, on your point, I would not want to give them anything to brag about by going... Besides, even if we did go, they'd just pull out the folding chairs and 'welcome back the stray sheep'. Provided, of course, that we acted like whipped puppies and remembered our place.

Special meeting March 7
by Samuel Thorsen inmy mother told me today that its going to be held a special meeting in all congregations worldwide at march 7.. .
some new information is going to be released, and its very very secret indeed.
we are not supposed to tell anyone what we heard at this meeting to the ones who have the meeting later the same week.

Hi, Samuel.
They have been doing this as far back as I can remember. Everyone get's excited and speculates and thinks 'this is it, we're all going to be asked to head for the bomb shelter, cuz the end is coming next week'.
They usually announce another inane doctrinal change which is only a big deal in their own minds, tout it as the most newsworthy item in the universe, and congratulate themselves on another deep spiritual truth revealed. Oh, and what the others said, maybe they'll release something else for you to sell door-to-door.
I wouldn't get my panties in a twist over it.
