this ruddy bird has been driving me up the wall for ruddy days with it's ruddy call, at first i thought it liked me, thought it might want to mate with me or something.
every time i got close to it, it would put out it's feathers in this enormous and beautiful display.
today however, would the ruddy bird do it for me, ruddy thing is as cantankerous as valis.
I lived at a place once that had a roving peacock in the yard. That thing was loud and usually would start squacking quite early in the morning. Ahh yes, the memories are coming back now, dark hateful memories that make me want to kill the lot of 'em!
ahem, sorry, yes, peacocks, beautiful...

I was thinking the same thing for 151, till I realized the fuse was much too short to light
Has anyone replied "OOOH BURN!" yet?
...
OOH BURRN!
so, even after we agree there is too much politics, some here have decided to keep going over the same bullshit time after time.
stuff they have no control over.
stuff that pisses people off at one another.
When it reaches a point of "trench warfare" which is just as bad as one not expressing their opinion at all, then yes it becomes quite tiresome.
By now, most of us already know where each other stands politically. I would think it would be wise for people to continue to express their opinions, but show discretion into how far they want to take the discussion. Far too often what happens is a total breakdown of rational debate. Of course, this is up to each individual.
It is obvious that those with a liberal point of view far outnumber those with a conservative point of view on this board, but I don't feel that anyone here has expressed views politically that merits them being labeled as a bad person. This goes for both sides of the issue. I'm sure we are mature enough to think of someone as having wrong ideas, according to our own point of view, but still seeing the value in their friendship.
I think political debate is great, it keeps us all on our toes, and each and every one of us should be open to the idea that none of us have all the answers. We receive strength through hearing others points of view and those points of view should be welcomed and not shunned.
i'd really like to know if the wts has ever been correct ... in all honesty.
i don't mean subjective, fuzzy dogma that has no empirical basis ... i mean stuff like 1914 and the original idea that it would be end of the world; millions now living will never die; 1975; the generation will not pass away ... ad infinitum.
i have no axe to grind ... i'd really like to know.
They said the word "the" one time in their publications, and it was the correct usage of that particular word. Aside from that, no.
The European Union has problems that are beyond the worst nightmares of Americans
so have you seen the film yet?
what was your impression of it?
here was mine: .
colonel, many of the rest of us who feel the same way you do have had many of the same types of discussions you now find yourself having. good luck!
the watchtower and many others claim something happend in 607. this is based on the idea the bible is acurate.
the watchtower states in a few places 586 is the "real date" but they would make the bible wrong which is a no no.
i know they have a vested interest in 607. i can't figure out why is this such a controversy.

you'll be getting the aug. 1 watchtower soon.
on it's rear cover, it has the following article:.
"the branch office of jehovah's witnesses in nigeria recently received a letter that, in part.
This is a completely honest and heartwarming experience for those who are devoted to a cause they believe in. It expresses the parents belief in the resurrection. It illustrates the devotion of even young children. The lesson is the same as the widows contribution. It may seem small and insignificant but everyone's contribution is important and counts.

Even if this were true, what kind of organization would publish such a thing as any sort of encouragement to do anything?
Well this organization. Take a good look at it. This wraps up the organization in a nutshell.
this subject has been gnawing at me for awhile now.. so many of you:.
