there was a discussion down the board aways about the meaning of life.
this was my comment,"horses have life, what is the purpose of his life?
what is the difference between his purpose and humans?
The meaning of my life is to make money and use that money towards my satisfaction. That includes remodeling my house, buying DVDs, and taking weeks off to party.
There's something inherently romantic involved with fantasizing about glorious achievements, or spiritual endeavors. But really, it all boils down to money and what it can buy.
All hail the Almighty Dollar.
as many of you know, i struggle from time to time with depression and even suicidal thoughts.
i was thinking yesterday that the next time i get to feeling that way i would remember very simple things that bring me great joy and tie those to a sensory experience that i can bring up in my mind to remind me of how good life really is to snap me out of those deep foul moods.
so here are my 5.. taste -- the taste of my mother's pecan cookies warm out of the oven.. smell -- the smell of my yard after a spring rain.. sight -- the sight of the north georgia mountains' fall leaves.. sound -- the heart touching songs from les miserables.. touch -- the feel of getting my back scratched by mitch.. please feel free to add your 5.. hugs.
taste -- beer
smell -- the scent of a pub full of beer
sight -- a beer in front of me
sound -- cracking open another beer
touch -- picking up a full glass of beer
was disfellowshipping for christians today?.
tuesday, december 11, 2001. .
in an effort to keep this as short as possible i am going to try and focus only a bare minimum of scriptures realizing that no one today appreciates too long a post.. in luke 12:48 these words are found, in part: ... to whom much was given much will be demanded.
I just wanted to comment that I really do appreciate You Know's comments over the years, because when I engage anti-JWs in Yahoo chat rooms, I mimic his attitude and language to such an extent it totally pisses people off to the highest extreme, and it's SO FUNNY.
Thanks, Bob. I totally think you're cool, dude.

Naeblis, you should move to Buffalo. Then I could demonstrate for you how a real man drinks.
here iz mine:.

#2) "a fools paradise".
Commissioned by the Great Theocrat and Sovereign Lord Jehovah to preach the good news of the Kingdom during these critical last days.
this is the absolute best confirmation that i have seen so far, proving that prince is a jw for sure.
i found this on the viewaskew website (news site for kevin smith, writer and director of clerks, dogma, and jay and silent bob strike back).. "fielding numerous 'are you high on the set' queries with patience and charm, he used the questions as a jumping off point for many personal anecdotes.
one of the highlights being a forty-minute tale on being invited to prince's paisley park to talk about filming something for prince, and ending up staying there a week filming a documentary about 'the truth' about jehovah, that 'will never see the light of day.'".

imagine that chance was offered to you .is it something you still desire?.
i wonder how desriable it would be to live forever.what problems it would bring.would we want to stay married to the same person, would we get to know everyone on earth?.
how would it effect our attitude toward life , would we get anything done knowing there was no rush?.
I think I would like to live to around 150. And I would have liked that to have started around the year 1851 AD.
the words: intellectual laziness.
recognize this trait?
ahhh,many who apostasies from the one truth, shall we say ,adopts this trait-and transforms into epitomies of intellectual laziness...they construct the premise there is no true god to mislead others...they proceed to construct arguments to support these prefabricated conclusions with the building blocks of false logic...they convince intellectually lazy individuals the odds of a creators existence are remote...a lie recognizable to any form of honest intelligence.. craig rusbult, ph.d. explains why god refuses to provide irrefutable proof in his existence on the web page http://www.asa3.org/asa/education/views/proof.htm - "although it isn't stated directly in the bible, god seems to prefer a balance of evidence: there is enough reason to believe if we want to believe, but not enough to intellectually force belief against our will.
There's nothing wrong with spirituality, or a sense of purpose in the universe. I disbelieve in gods, but I don't rule out something like Tao or some pantheistic notion where order is complex and complexity finds itself in order.
However, NONE OF THAT MEANS DICK TO ME. That's primarily why I don't believe in gods -- it's totally irrelevant.
The very question, "Does a God/Creator exist?" is inherently worthless.
not nessesarily in order.
i know i'll get stoned with frozen spit balls for this, but..... .
