I had a visit this morning from a couple of older sisters from a local congregation that I'm not terribly familiar with (I don't live in the territory for the congregation that I was raised in). Anyway, I didn't have the balls or energy to question them about the usual things (recent Dateline, etc.) because they were these sweet little old black sisters that really reminded me of the witnesses at the beginning of "Friday". Ahg hell, I'm really getting of my point here. The thing I noticed after they left is that they never (ever) identified as Jehovah's Witnesses. Is this a new thing after the Dateline story, or is this just some thing they started doing after I left(about 3 years ago)?

Do you ignore certain posters?
by LDH inok before we get off on the wrong foot this is not a flame war.
i read a comment by belbab on hillary's post this morning...he remarked that he had asked a question after the 09/11 attack, that no one answered.
well, i didn't even remember reading it, so i did a simple search.

I can't say I avoid reading any posts because of the author; it's usually the subject that interests me. The only threads I get away from are the ones that take an entire night to read. I appreciate researched stuff, but when you keep scrolling and scrolling down for the end...That's when I hit the "back" button..

Will I Die?
by professor inmy doctor recently told me that my blood pressure is normal, but at the higher end of normal.
i should lower my cholesterol level via diet and exercise.

I don't think you'll die, old buddy. Many things could have caused your blood pressure to go up at that moment (excitement of the new job, anxiety of the physical, etc.). I'm not saying you don't have high blood pressure; you should get a complete cardiac work-up (enzymes, EKG if you haven't already). There are many safe "blood pressure" meds out there that will stabilize your BP if diet and exercise doesn't work. Don't sweat it. Millions of people in this country(even some in their 20's) that take medication for their blood pressure. Talk to your doctor...

Pledge of Allegiance
by giantjason ina bill by sen. william ``pete'' knight would require that all california schoolchildren say the pledge of allegiance daily.
under sb 1248, public school teachers would have to lead students in saying the pledge at the beginning of each school day.
this is very interesting, although i seriously doubt it would pass.

*Card-carrying member of the ACLU*- So that should sum up how I feel about this subject...But hey, this is a bit off the subject..but today is the day that in 1956 "under God" was added to the pledge....

Name some must have rock records
by Leander ini've spent a lot of time on allmusic.com and it amazes me how much nirvana is mentioned when the reviewers rate other albums.
so its a no brainer that nirvana's work should probably have a place in every rock collection, but what are some other albums every rock fan should listen to if not own.

Watch Tower Heavy Metal
by RR indid you guys know there is a heavy metal group named watch tower?
i remember some years ago, when i was looking on the net i typed in watchtower.com and came across their website.
apparently when the society decided to go online they must have paid big buck to watch tower to have the domain name.

I remember seeing Jesus Lizard in New Orleans a long time ago, and a local NO band opened up for them (can't remember their name)...they all had "stage names", combining religions and famous punk rockers' names. The guitarist name was "Jehovah Vicious"

Ehhh poo on it all! You just got to nip that crap in the bud and stop it before it starts! Answer the door with a strap-on (regardless of your gender), katsup all in your hair, an IV in your arm with an active transfusion infusing, Slayer's "God Hates Us All" CD playing in the background ( or maybe Deicide), the CO's nude wife passed out on your couch, screaming "lick my prostate, bi**h!!!!!"
