  so there i am yesterday, driving through the lovely english countryside enjoying the rolling green slopes of the hills.

  now in my part of the world (lancashire) there's lots and lots of sheep!!

  they look lovely mooching around in the grass and moorland totally oblivious to what's going on around them.. until they stand in the road in the path of your car.......licking the tarmac!!.

  Yeah, welcome to the forum Slinky!!

  Thanks for the info' about why sheep lick the road. I thought there must be a....sort of reasonable explanation.

  All i can say is that they must REEEEEALLY like it!! The threat of imminent death usually puts me OFF my food.

  Maybe all that grass they eat actually turns into an hallucinagen in their stomachs and.....they............couldn't........................c.c.care........lessssss....

  " Hey Dolly....lick the road babe....it's.....it's...tastes like strawberries...yyyeah stawberries. Wow! What's that animal with big eyes growling at us for?? Chill big monster......the road tastes of strawberries......YEEEEAAH!

  Or something like that....

  Karen96 said "They seemed to have all the answers".....

  Very simple statement but i would say it's pretty much one of the main reasons why most of us joined.

  Their reasonings are put across by people who seem to be totally and utterly convinced that what they are saying is the only truth on the face of the earth.

  I was also 18 at the time and although technically an adult, i was very naive and green.

  Here's another thing. When you first start going to the KH, people do seem genuinely loving and kind. Sometimes overpoweringly so.

  But then.....you slowly begin to realise that it ain't all 'sweetness and light'.

  I also think that Karl Marx was very insightful about why people are religious.

  Was Marx right? Did we just need our 'opium'?

  Why did we do it? There has to be a common root here!

  The reason i ask is that i can't BELIEVE that i swallowed it for so long.

  .

  my son just informed me that his grandfather left him and his brother, (his only grandsons) , money for their education.. i had no idea, of the amount but it did make sense to me...a suposed $50,000.00 but the will was on a small personal computer and promptly erased by someone in my mom's kh at her request.. she has in the mean time shunned me, and low and behold sent $200,000.00 to the society.

  this tires me beyond belief.. thanks for listneing....i am feeling crazy!.

  Everything written to a computer hard drive that gets erased, leaves a 'shadow' and can be retrieved. Or so i've been told!!

  You should make enquiries and consider legal action.

  Bloody Hell though......$200,000 to the WTS??? My coffee and croissants may be coming staight back up

  Does anyone really have a chaperone when out with the opposite sex?

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  somehow, i seriously doubt it.

  it was spoken about when i was growing up that that was supposed to be the "loving arrangement", but i never heard, saw, or did it myself, nor did anyone else.

  since i wasn't allowed out of the house, much less date until i was 16, it wasn't really an issue for me anyway.

  I'd like to know where chaperoning actually originated. It's not mentioned or even intimated in the bible.....is it?

  Let's face it....if yer gonna shag, yer gonna shag. No chaperone is going to stop two lust driven humans from playing 'hide the sausage' if they really want to.

  Men, women and toilet seat etiquette

  by Gregor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've never quite understood the big deal about men leaving the toilet seat up but since i hear so much about it i try to comply.

  i do have a pet peeve.

  sometimes when i lift the seat there are obvious signs on the underside that a female has used it and not bothered to 'tidy up'.

  We have to lift it up to pee...right?

  So women can put it DOWN to pee too.

  It's not that hard to do girls.

  I remember reading in the Insight Book or maybe some other place, that the reason he shoved her out the door to the waiting mob was because it was better that she get raped than the Levite get BUGGERED..........because he was a HOLY man. Yeah.....and that means.....what exactly??!!

  Well at least they attempted to explain it!

  The Ancient Israelites and the god that they invented are among the sickest and most violent personages ever to be written about.

  There are too many twisted, evil stories to mention but here's one.

  Remember the Levite that went looking for his concubine that had run away? He finds her and then ends up giving her to be raped all night long by a bunch of wierdo's. Then when he finds her dead on the doorstep in the morning he gets angry with the men that raped her (but he gave her to them for that purpose?!!??!). So he chops her body up into twelve pieces and sends each piece to one of the 12 tribes of Israel.

  Now i'm not usually lost for words but....

  Peace and NO NIGHTMARES.
