Any fluent Spanish speakers online right now?

by Confession in

just looking to make sure my translation is correct on the following.

i think one of the words may be a typo:.

you are the air i need to breathe = usted es el aire que tengo que respirar.

MinisterAmos

Tu eres al aire que respiro. You are the air that I breathe.

Tu eres la mitad que me hace completo. Eres mi media naranja/Eres mi pareja perfecta etc
You can't translate it literally and use it in the bedroom, the boardroom perhaps because like this it denotes a treaty or business deal. go with the naranja or pareja

Solo contigo me siento en casa. Why would you want to say this? Makes no sense
Use something like "Mi corazon late solo por ti" or "Mi corazon nunca dejo (accent over the o)tu corazon"

He estado esperandote toda mi vida. I've been waiting for you all my life.
Para TI he quedado esperando toda la vida.

Note that example one is great to use with a taxi driver, not so good for romance.

Did you need this in Spanish for Latin America/The Carib or Europe? What I just gave you would probably not be appropriate for anyone outside the Americas.

A NEW Flock book has been released, with notes by a Presiding Overseer

by Elsewhere in

jw
friends

for several years there has been available a pay attention to yourselves and to the flock book in pdf and html format.

this book has proven to be extremely valuable in exposing the morally questionable activities of the watchtower society.

now we have a new version that is even more valuable because it contains the hand-written notes of a presiding overseer, some notes as recent as late 2005. these notes are frequently dictated to elders by a circuit overseer or district overseer in order to avoid liability (the wts can deny every giving such instructions).

Hey Kids!

If you want your very own copy, then just go to www.thepiratebay.org and search for the title. You can then download it in Bit Torrent. LOTS of other WT stuff there as well.

If you do not yet have Torrent, you really need to get it and use it. The WT is cracking down on sites that host its "secrets" and TPB/Bit Torrent seems to be immune to cease and desists.

Have fun

You guys just gotta see this FYI. Europe's Pot Progression.

by avengers in

(highlights by me).

the following is an excerpt from an article entitled .

europe's pot progression.

Keep it up and George Bush will expand his war on drugs to your back yard Baby!

Remember, his Daddy (and the American public) taught him that it's OK to invade other nations and depose their leaders if you can make the connection that the nation is a "drug pipe-line" to the US. Noriega is still in Federal prison.

I bet your lousy King or whatever is next.

Protect me George!

It`s Time to Bitch about Gas!!

by OUTLAW in

jw
friends

i just had a big bowl of chili..but..thats not the gas i want to talk about..lol!

!..........i went to the nearest gas station which costs me $7.00 in gas to get to..i couldn`t believe how much gas had gone up since i had been there last..$1.30 per litre!

!..or..$5.20 per gallon for premium gas..outrageous!

MinisterAmos

Now here's part of the science.......

Gasoline is pegged in US Currency'

US Currency has dumped over 40% of its value against the Euro/Loonie/dinar etc since Bush took over.

In order for a barrel of oil to maintain its "real" value in the local currency, the seller must raise the price of oil in US dollars.

IE: I have a barrel of oil and it's worth $10 dollars. My dinar trades at par, one for one, with the dollar. The dollar tanks and is now worth only 1/2 a dinar.

Do I sell that oil for $10 which are now only worth 5 dinars or do I raise my price to $20 dollars thereby maintaining the price in my local currency of 10 dinars?

And yes the dollar really has tanked.

Give it a bit and you'll start to see the foreign currency eolling in in the biggest fire sale ever because cheap dollar=huge discount if you are paying with Euroes

You want some big Watchtower news? I think this is big news.

by under_believer in

just like the wts, the mormons (okay, the "church of jesus christ of latter-day saints," hey look, a religion with even less talent at picking a name than the jw's) hide their net worth.

nobody knows how much money they have, though estimates go as high as 30 billion usd.. .

well, this guy in portland is suing them for (what else) pastoral pedophilia, and part of the discussion of damages, the plaintiff argues, is the revelation of how much money the church has.

MinisterAmos

Nice, but if it doesn't happen in a court of appeals it isn't binding.

I'm not sure if you have any experience with the law, but all those books on the shelves that provide binding authority come from appeals.

Not a single case in any of them is from the court of lesser claims.
