  do you prefer regular brew or the fancy offerings?

  can you drink it -- the leaded stuff -- any time, night or day?.

  no survey here, just curious.

  Have you tried Buttercup Gold? Never tasted robusta so smooth but still with that major kick.

  I start the day with a pot of tea, then move into coffee. I live next door to a roasting business (LOL) so fresh coffee in abundance. Local Australian, Columbian, Yemen but the finest I've tried is an original Arabica root stock discovered in Sumatra. The Dutch planted them 300 yrs ago and they were forgotten/lost. So smooth and little bitterness. Also some very nice Robustas, Queen of the Nile and Buttercup Gold from South India.

  Oh yeah I have drunk Kopi Luwak numerous times and yes there is a major difference in flavour but not worht the US$50 the Japanese pay per cup!

  Have YOU Had a SUPERNATURAL Experience?

  by Cold Steel in

  regardless of your religious background, how many of you have had any type of a paranormal or supernatural experience, good or bad?.

  i've known a number of people who have tried ouija boards.

  most had just creepy feelings, but one had a nasty experience.

  Yeah I've had a few. Some I have written about here previous. As to the cause now that is the part that is open to conjecture.

  Would Elders You Knew Have Ordered Stonings If They Could Have?

  by Cold Steel in

  for those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?

  i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.

  did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.

  As I have mentioned in an unrelated thread I attended a congregation years ago where one of the elders was one of Hitler's elite guards during WW2. He was a Nazi through and through taking delight in overlording the people and going out of his way to create situations where he could throw his weight around. In my opinion his behaviour more than bordered on sexual. Too right he would have stoned people if given the chance and he would have done it with a gleam in his eye and a smile on his thin mouth. A war criminal who got away with it....

  Yep quite a country Tibet (well China if you like). Also strange that it is so dry and arid! If it wasn't for the politics I would be there in a flash. Mt Kailash is the traditional home of Shiva a very powerful sacred Hindu spot.

  Also the mighty Mekong river has its source in Tibet. Strange when travelling it to realise that this is snow water when the temperature is tropical. Wikipedia tells us that Mekong id the Thai/Lao name for mother, so it is also called the Ganges when translated into Sanskrit...

  have jehovah,s witnesses given incorrect dates for the end?.

  jw,s have had wrong expectations about when the end would.

  like jesus' first-century disciples, we have "sometimes" (lol).

  The sheer arrogance of this organisation to belive that they have unique communications with god and the sheer arrogance to not admit error(s). Really, to believe that god told "us" special dates and no one else is kinda egocentric to say the least. Humility is not a shining quality in jwland.
