Friends are much more important IMO because they're chosen. Family is good if everyone can get along and support one another, but if not, who needs it?

well the sound was atrocious..but it usually is in a stadium...couldnt hear a word bono was singing or saying...and man did he have a lot to say..mostly about africa and g8 and third world debt..shame really...50,000 drunken scots hanging on his every word..missed opportunity.

but the show was spectacular...and we didnt need to hear the singing cos crowd drowned it out anyway.

I really wish musicians would leave their politics at home. People don't go to concerts for that crap...they want to hear some tunes and have a good time.

Pearl Jam is the same way. I went to one of their concerts back in the 90's and Vedder went on and on about abortion and a bunch of other garbage that no one wanted to hear.

ok, lets see if you guys know the answer to this simple question.. .

if you have a car with a mechanical speedometer and odometer, not digital, and if you back up, will your mileage on the dial back up?.

7 miles on the odometer and you back up, for a few hundred feet, will the mileage also back up slowly to 47,108.6 and so on....?.

Female hyenas have more testosterone than male hyenas, and their vulva and clitoris are shaped like a scrotum and a penis, which can become erect. They also give birth through their "penises". It sucks to be a female hyena.

JW's are LOSING IT

at one of the last bookstudies i ever attended i heard a comment that really struck home to me how desperate these people really are getting, to the edge of insanity.

an older woman commented, "you can tell the end is coming.. its in the air.. you can feel it.. there is something in the air.. times are just.. different" and the whole time she was manically glancing around the room.

the conductor agreed with her.

I can't imagine them getting any more paranoid than they were 10 years ago when I was a cultist.

Anytime someone would bring up the future (in this world), someone would say, "The world won't be here then anyway, so it doesn't matter."

I got so sick of hearing that.

(Speculation: selected humans will go to populate the rest of the universe...just kidding)

I used to consider that when I was a believer.

Where would all of these resurrected people live? Earth is only so big.

lately i've just been getting contacted quite a bit by depressed zombie like cultist's.

i thought i would welcome being contacted by dubs after i da'ed but i actually really find it annoying!

they all drop comments like "nothing ever changes.." "i don't really go to the meeting's that much.." "i'm just so bored.." "if i didn't have meetings i could go back to school" "brother shitbag is a jerk.. i'm so sick of him.." "the elders treat me like a child" blah blah blah.

Just think of how "happy" they'll be in the 'new system' when everyone will live like a dub 24-7.

Sounds like fun!
