If the WTS is hinting at Armageddon starting by the actions of radical Muslims, then they are in bed with them, hoping it really does happen, by telling the fleeced sheep to start stockpiling in preparation (for what?). After all, how many Witnesses in the world are affected by natural disasters?

hello, i discovered this site yesterday and have been on it for hours!
i've been studying with jehovah's witnesses for 4 years and quite frankly love it.
a bit of background, i am a college educated young man (have a bs in psychology) and am currently a medical student.
Welcome psycsnacha.
I don't think you will find what you are looking for here. You come across as a seeker, but I have to ask, "Where do you get the questions you ask?" As such you can easily become a True Believer, because when you look for something, you will find it. That means validation for your beliefs, confirmation of your thoughts only because you want to believe it.
If you become a Witness, are you going to tell others you have 'The Truth'? You will have plenty of support for thinking so, just look in the right places, talk to the right people. I think Jesus 'said' it much better when asked "What is truth" by Pilate.
If you keep looking without, you will miss the truth within; you will only have found a semblance of such.
No one here can change you, or convince you of anything. Don't expect them to.
One's spiritual journey should last a lifetime; becoming a Witness ends it prematurely.

has anyone seen this movie?
what were your thoughts on it?.
i just saw it last night for the first time.
(Incidentally David Cronenbergs' Crash from 1996 is actually a much better movie.)
Canadian director David Cronenberg is one of my favorites. His filmography includes his newest "History of Violence" from last year, and 1988's "Dead Ringers" with Jeremy Irons playing twins: highly recommended.
I wondered how they could use the title "Crash" for last year's film until you learn copyright laws for motion pictures. I haven't seen it but will rent it.

I don't think you need the advice of a professional rider at this junction. It would be best to avoid hills if at all possible, and even avoid shifting as much as possible, staying on flat terrain to start, and keep in one gear. The aerobic workout will come from the time spent riding, pedaling at a steady rate for your whole ride, maybe 30min. to start and working up to one hour.
Keep the bike in a gear that you aren't pedalling so fast you get out of breath, and that isn't so slow your legs hurt. Go on an out-and-back route if you have to, flat to easy (real easy) rollers with not much traffic, car or pedestrian to worry about. And get out on the bike at least 4 times a week, if not 5 times, up to one hour each time to get any aerobic benefit.
Then, after a few months (depending on you), ride longer. And eventually save for a better bike, get cycling clothing, and when you can't stay off the bike, seek the advice of better riders.
Eventually you will learn what works for you. Become perceptive to your body as you ride and you will become more confident.
Stay Hungry.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
United States Marshall Office
March 10, 2006
Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Maranda
(619) 557-6620
USMS Headquarters Public Affairs (202) 307-9065
Sexual Predator May Have Inflicted 20 Years of Pain on Young Victims
A sexual predator is on the run and his crimes are so heinous that they have earned him a spot on the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted fugitive list.
Fugitive
Frederick McLean
55, is wanted on multiple counts of sexual assault on a child, but according to Deputy U.S. Marshal Tom Maranda, member of the U.S. Marshal-led San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force, “multiple counts” is an understatement .
Maranda explained, one alleged victim, now an adult, reported assaulted her more than 100 times , starting when she was 5 and ending about seven years later.
“Investigators believe
McClean
’s abusive acts against young victims span over a 20-year period,” said Maranda. “So it is imperative that predators like this be taken off the streets.”
An arrest warrant was issued
, for McClean
, but authorities believe he sensed his days of freedom were numbered almost six months prior. In May 2004, family members confronted regarding a young female victim’s allegations of molestation.
McClean admitted they were true, and the victim’s family decided to call Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. After the confrontation, McClean
’s wife and children left him. Between May and September 2004, he began transferring financial assets to his wife and he signed divorce papers. In September 2004, McClean
’s father-in-law woke up one morning to find McClean
’s truck in his driveway. Inside the truck were McClean
’s cell phone, letters for the family, and instructions on how to sell the vehicle. It was evident from his actions that he believed criminal charges against him were looming.
McClean
is a 55-year-old white male who weighs 170 pounds and is 5 feet, 11 inches tall. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. He is an auto mechanic by trade and once owned a race-car restoration business, specializing in Lola chassis Can-Am racing cars from the 1960s and 1970s. McClean is also an experienced outdoorsman and may frequent camping areas.
Authorities caution citizens to consider McClean armed and dangerous, and possibly suicidal.
"Dangerous fugitives such as this are given the highest priority by the Marshals Service because of the potential to harm other innocent citizens while they remain at large
," said Robert J. Finan II, head of the Marshals Investigative Services Division.
There is a reward for information leading to the arrest of McClean, and all inquiries remain confidential. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact their nearest Marshals Service office, or call the Marshals’ 24 hour phone line at 1-800-336-0102. Marshals are the nation’s primary fugitive hunting organization and capture more federal fugitives each year than all other law enforcement agencies combined. For more information, go to

just bought a new road bike.
never rode clipless pedals before.
ts (of the 'wobbling home on the cobblestone' class)
Even experienced cyclist will fall sometimes when clipped in. I grew up using toe clips and straps, and got used to loosening the left side when at a stop, just in case I had to put my foot down. With clipless pedals, you just twist your foot out, but I've tipped over at a standstill as recently as a couple years ago, with what, over 25 years experience on a racing bike.
So I guess you can count on not falling over 99.9% of the time once you get used to them.
Funny thing about ts's post: I completed my first century when I was 16, and racers I admired gathered around in a circle after finishing and smoked a joint. I guess the high after riding that far is pretty "high". Of course, that was in the 70's also.
So stick with the clipless pedals, you'll find it's almost intuitive getting out of 'em.

"nobody makes me bleed my own blood, nobody!
These are from different movies with the same director:
"If you can't get in, you don't get in." (hint: Al Pacino starred)
"Are you going to stay in there the rest of your life?"
