our governer, jennifer granholm and other governors have come up with a petition to cap oil company profits and bring the price of gas down.
please read about it.
please sign it and encourage everyone you know to sign it.
This is nothing but a political stunt on the part of the Governor. Same thing goes for all parties complaining about high gas prices. Pure politics considering the crude oil market is a free market.
Although I agree that this governer's tactics are pure politics I would hardly say that the crude oil market is a "free market". Ever heard of OPEC?

Hey there U/D, you sound like Rush! LOL. I have to say that I agree though. Instead of complaining about oil prices we should be encouraging our elected officials to persue alternative energy sources.
i got a call from my wife today.
she said they made the announcement at the hall yesterday that i got df'd.
they said that i am no longer a jehovah's witness.
Doesn't it feel great when they loose control over you? Congradulations IronClaw. Here's to you!
yeee haaa!
i'm an outlaw now!
the elders warned me that if any i talk about anything said in the judicial committee or post any pictures i've taken, i'm in big trouble and i don't want these people as enimies!
Thanks for sharing the tapes Dan. My wife wonders how I can sit and listen to them. She says they're boring, LOL!
I couldn't help but notice a silent pause after they asked you if you were recording the conversation. For those of us enjoying this recording it was quite obvious that the pause was due to the fact that you were getting ready to lie. Next time shorten up that gap and tell them no immediately. You did a wonderful job recovering though by bringing out the camera and snapping the photo. They were so distracted by the photo that I think they totally forgot that they asked you if you were recording. You also did a fantastic job of pretending to delete the picture. What dolts!
growing up as a jw, we were never allowed to have holidays or birthday's etc..... never able to show my brothers affection on their special day killed me.
now every year, i sing "happy birthday" to my brothers nick and ben.
i call them on their birthday, if they pick up the phone i yell and tell them i am going to leave a voice mail message.
I have difficulty still with holidays and birthdays other than my childrens. It just plain awkward for me. I always forget my parents anniversary and never remember my brothers or sisters birthdays either.
My wife love Christmas and that's an extremely difficult holidy for me to enjoy. One tradition that I started five or six years ago was to fast on the winter solstice. That is my official observance of the holiday.
accepted origin
, high times magazine, the marijuana-logues, and the straight dope claim that in the early 1970s, a group of teenagers at san rafael high school in san rafael, california used to meet every day after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the water tower.
one piece of evidence supporting an origin of the term from the time 4:20 is the fact that the number is always said "four twenty" and not "four hundred twenty.
Hey I got married on April 20th.. I feel a lot better about the date now!
Happy anniversary PoppyR. I just celebrated 7 years with my wife on the 19th. Close enough to 420 to enjoy a little herbal discussion.
I only wish I had em to smoke!
yesterday after school i had to go work on a project with friends.
mom said be home by 5, but there was a huge accident a mile from where i live, and i sat on the road for like 10 - 12 minutes, and was 5 minutes late getting home.
mom was there (didn't go to work- guess why) and she was pissed.
Hey RR. Hang in there man. Times are tought right now and it seems that it always gets worse before it gets better, but beleive me, it will get better.
Your in my thoughts....here's to you !
backing away from 1914?
i think not.. may 1, 2006 wt third study article on page 27, paragraph 2 and 3 state:.
"2. almost 30 years after that pentecost in 33 c.e., the apostle paul confirmed that christ had not yet taken full kingdom power, but he was "at the right hand of god, from then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet.
Hey Leolaila, I think the graphs are great. A picture (or graph) is worth a thousand words. Your graphs certainly show a decline in emphasis on 1914 and 607 both. Excellent work.
i was on the phone speaking with verne thoren, presiding overseer of the willow springs, nc congregation of jehovah's witnesses.
he tells me he knows of my possesssion of the flock book.
he knows of my involvement on this site.
Good luck Richie! Here's to you!
my daughter from california called me and said my grand daughter from arkansa called her and no longer wants to be a jw, that she is a pot head and has a boy friend and wants to be emancipated and to top it all off she wanted to talk to her grand paw (me).
in her words, "i don't want to be a jehovah's witness and put up with that shit.
i don't beleive that shit.
Well I think that her desire to have a relationship with her Grandfather is a good thing and an opportunity that you should capitalize on. I agree with the poster that said that she may be trying to identify or seek out family that will be supportive of her and her new found identity.
If it were me I would persue the relationship and try to develope the connection with my bloodline. I know that I can benifit my children's children dispite what they have been brainwashed to believe. I would also be firm. I would make sure that they knew what I felt was acceptable behavior for a 16 year old addolescent. Most importantly I would share my love...my whole hearted, unadulterated love for my grand child, because in the end that's all that really matters.
