  It WAS the fastest (in a straight line) until the title was reclaimed by the Bugatti Veyron.

  268 mph.

  Scott77's car is a small-company effort at yet another supercar: The Ultimate Aero -

  Thanks, 144001 -

  I am still puzzled about the car that Scott77 posted - it seems to have Penske markings, but looks more like a custom street car to me than a racing car.

  I am going to put it on the Ferrari site to see if anybody knows what it is.

  WT Elders school: Avoid black and white thinking - now look at this zebra

  continuing on with my haphazard review of the recent one-day elders school..... in one of the introductory talks, the co was making the point that we can't view things merely from a black and white perspective.

  many issues have "shades of gray" and we need to use discernment in such situations.. and i'm thinking "finally!

  maybe he will continue on to make an actual, reasonable point!".

  Well, this thread again explains to me why they are so obsessive about keeping these Elder's schools top secret...

  Scott77, I do not think the car in your picture is a Ferrari. It is certainly not any standard production Ferrari.

  BTW did put up a picture of my car - 1986 Testarossa 60447.

  Masonic wedding service

  by designs in

  the wife and i had a nice and new experience this weekend.

  we attended the wedding of a long time friend's son and the service was conducted by a mason.

  the 'great architect' was invoked repeatedly during the service and during the prayer.

  Yes, I have - it was pretty much as you described, a very nice service in their large temple in Ft. Worth, Texas.

  I believe that the person who conducted it was an ordained pastor as well as being a Mason.

  There was, IIRC, very little reference to strictly Masonic legend or doctrine.

  fresh off the recent 1-day elders school.

  to keep things readable i'll post "highlights" over the next several days in different topics.

  point 1: they have progressed from "just plain" stupid to dangerously stupid.. .

  Ethos, DON'T BE A DOPE.

  It is indeed obvious that you have no knowledge of the JW rules for elders, and have nothing to contribute to this thread.

  Each on a case by case basis, Sulla --- but, last year just after Christmas I lost a friend who took an overdose of prescription pain killers, and I will never allow the slightest chance of any such remarks going unheeded.

  (no, the lady did not say anything to me - but I wondered at the time if she had said something to somebody and they did nothing)

  Fascinating, Sir82 - so you should be stoned for gathering firewood, but it is OK to save your farm animal which fell into a water hole?

  It is also quite interesting that the CO bypassed the more tolerant New Testament references on the sabbath - and went straight back to the vengeful god of Noah...

  I don't know. Is every passing reference to suicide something that requires a pastor to call the professionals?

  And you would just blow such a remark off to the winds if YOU were the pastor? People don't really threaten suicide all that often in my experience...I take it seriously when somebody does.
