mine is garmisch germany....spotless and dog friendly, in the heart of the alps, just on the border of austria, driving distance to anywhere in italy....an absolute dream.
the town is small, (near where sound of music was filmed) beautiful shops including, chocolate, designer fashions, local specialties and the best food you have ever tasted from every part of the world.. it is a professional skier's destination, and at the same time, cows are driven through in the morning and evening with most traffic coming to a halt to allow the same.. driving in form munich, about an hour, you climb mountains and then suddenly come into beautiful fields with the mountains rising above you.
absolutely breathtaking.
The only ugly thing we witnessed in Florence was 2 American lesbians making out in front of a work of art....it was the most distasteful thing I have ever seen in my life, and the most embarassing as an American citizen, even trumping some of Bush's statements..... anywhere I have been.
Remembering the Italian men, as I do, I have a feeling the natives were not that offended!

a british museum has canceled a lecture by dr. james watson, co-discoverer of the dna double helix, after he claimed black people are less intelligent than whites in a recent newspaper interview.. watson, who won the 1962 nobel prize for his part in discovering the structure of dna, provoked a storm of criticism after his comments were published in the sunday times.. the eminent biologist told the british newspaper he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really.".
watson, 79, had been due to give a lecture at london's science museum on friday but the museum canceled his appearance, saying his comments had "gone beyond the point of acceptable debate.".
people presenting their pseudo-scientific pre-conceived prejudicial notions.
Isn't that what starts the ball rolling on study and research? (Spoken like a true scientist, eh?)
in matthew chapter 9 verses 10-13 it says- 10 and it came to pass as jesus sat at meat in the house, behold , many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.11 and when the pharisees saw it they said unto his disciples.why eat your master with publicans and sinners?12 but when jesus heard that he said unto them, they that be whole need not a physician but they that are sick.13 but go you and learn what that means, i will have mercy and not sacrifice, for i am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.. i noticed a few intresting points in this scripture, firstly jesus was associating with sinners and eating a meal with them.the pharisees were frowning on this in a similar way today the watchtower society has a similar attitude.if we were eating with such " worldly people imagine what sort of advice we would be given inside the watchtower walls, " bad association ".. the most intresting point i noticed though was that jesus said " i am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.so jesus must have recognized that the world had righteous people, but he was concerned with teaching sinners the right way.today on the ministry jehovahs witnesses say they are gathering not the sinners but only the righteous " the right hearted ones.seems to me jesus had a more balanced attitude of the world than the watchtower does.

"Sin" is short for the sinsofourfathers gene. Passed down from generation to generation. It was planted there so that we would always be reminded that we are really just observers of....oh what a pile of sh*t.

HOw do you get a butt like that????????
It can be very costly...
we live in a time that basically loyalty has become a price tag.
if someone you know, does something famous or becomes famous, it is only a matter of how much your price would be to actually cash in on your connection.
time and time again, famous people have been burned by close friends and seen their personal information all over the tabloids monthly.
From now on, on JWD, when referring to gay sex, can we all please start using the term, "riding the Hershey Highway" ?? Reminds me of the poor fellow, an American football player, that went in a gay bar a tight end, and came out a wide receiver.

NVR makes a great case for Costa Rica.

Happy Anniversary. Glad you are back and posting. Always enjoy your comments!
when i think back on the last 45 years of my life as a jw, it truly is remarkable.
how i as an intelligent person could have believed all of the things that the wtbts.
taught as doctrine and then for myself to teach others the same doctrine.. we could all give examples of this, however i was just sitting here drinking my coffee.
For some time, I have thought of Russell as the PT Barnum of the newer religions.

And isn't it interesting that the leading constructor of the organization was a professional salesman.....just a thought
You mean "PT" Russell?
i like all of their work but "don't look back" is my life anthem since my entire childhood was screwed up as a jw.. be sure to check out sid's (drummer) 70's fro.
