in my hall growing up, i remember 6 childless couples.
some have died, some are still alive.. i stayed single for the kingdom, hope to change that.. presently in my congregation, there are 4 brothers over 30, two over 40, that are single for the kingdom.
and about 10 single sisters over 25.. three of the five married elders have no children.
I still remember when my wife and I decided we were going to have children, what a stir that caused. We were the first couple in our age group to get married, and all the other young couples were waiting on us for some reason. I still remember the cold stares and hushed whispers from the elders.
The whole baby thing never worked out though. Oh well, life moves on.
has anyone seen this documentary?
do you think al qaeda was just made up or does it really exist?
sammieswife.. top ranking cia operatives admit al-qaeda is a complete fabricationby mr. charrington on january 7, 2008. bbcs killer documentary called the power of nightmares.
I hate the term "conspiracy theory." Why do people have such a hard time believing our government lies to us? Even though I like Pres. Obama, I have no illusions that he's already lying to me. That is what governments do.
Was 9-11 a fabrication? Does Al Qaeda really exist? What is wrong with asking those questions? One of our major problems is that we are a society of complacency. As long as we can drive our SUV's to the gas station and fill up, and then drive to Wal Mart and buy all the useless crap we want......we just don't care. Deeper than that, we don't want to care.
There are a lot of indicators that things don't add up with the official 9-11 story......but we don't want to hear that. If that was the case then something is deeply wrong with our government and our lifestyle. That means we might have to make some drastic changes, and the average crispy cream American cannot handle that idea. It makes their brain melt. It's the same reason so many on the right are so desperate to discount global warming.
montana governor sign .
stunning new gun law.
kvpi channel 6 (montana).
The down side to this is that it will just inspire the Federal government to pass new gun legislation.
this was an interesting article (part of it) from the bbc website.
sammieswife.. fists in the air.
lined up on a set of steps near the diet, wearing suits, red sashes and beaming smiles were officials from the japanese communist party.. they joined the protesters chanting and raising their fists in the air.. the communist party has always had a surprisingly large role in japan, the world's second biggest economy.. but while it had been fading towards irrelevance, now as the recession bites it is on the rise again.. the party already has more than 400,000 members and people are joining at the rate of 1,000 a month.. in comparison, the membership of the liberal democratic party, the largest member of the governing coalition, is twice the size.
It's a dead issue with North Korea being the only strong Comunist country left....
Did you forget about China? The country where our capitalist masters have shipped all our manufacturing jobs in the past decade?
In their rush to escape the "socialist" nature of union factory workers, the corporate masters of the universe have given the true source of our countries strength (our manufacturing base) to communist China. Way to go guys. If we went to war with China we'd have to beg them to sell us bullets.

This is what the modern day Democrat doesn't want you to see.
Reagen good! Clinton bad!
Typical Republicans. I mean Jesus Christ, have you guys had an original idea in 20 years?
i got this video and thought i would ask you guys what you think.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w9wgxh2ato.

I think the Repugs should run this guy for President.
even though i try to hide it, some of you may notice that i love the political debate on this site.
it gets very heated, and sometimes downright nasty.
as i was working in the yard a few minutes ago, i had a thought.
So true. I also enjoy the political debates around here......that's a shocker. While I don't agree with most of what certain people say, I do respect the fact that they display intelligence in what they say.
good idea or bad?.
hannity doesn't believe that waterboarding is torture.
he believes it's a fair way to extract information and said he'd do it for charity to prove it's not so bad.. keith olberman called him out on it.
It's funny to watch the wingnuts dance around and try to prove that water boarding isn't torture. Here's a thought for you........The U.S. military subjects many of it's elite units to what is called SERE training. Survival Evasion Resistance & Escape. The purpose is to expose the soldier/pilot to the conditions they can expect to face if captured by the enemy. The soldiers are basically subjected to basic forms of torture they may receive at the hands of various scum bags around the world. In short, the SERE trainers subject the trainees to water boarding and other forms of torture. This is what special forces soldiers are talking about when they say they were "drowned and resuscitated" during training.
Water boarding is torture.
In the words of BTS, "STFU about it!"

Yeah, let's grab him and hit him in the face, pull his hair, and kick him in the balls, and pinch his nose, and, oh, wait a minute......never mind..........I forgot I'm not a Republican............
True!

Under your seeming definition, anything may classify as torture if the detainee is unsure of his safety. Bringing a glass of water that is not marked, for instance, may be torture. Keeping one behind bars while he sleeps, for instance, may be torture. Using a loud voice during questioning, for instance, may be torture.
Very logical point Doe.
