  Anyone ever watch David Blaine?

  the magician?

  he is unbelievable - i don't see how it can be smoke and mirrors out on the street.

  some of it seems impossible unless it is staged.

  i need to get this off my chest because it is bothering me to the point i am distracted.

  i have a very disturbing experience with the chicago police department.. i had just gotten out of a car that was dropping me off at the cta.

  i was about to get out when a cop car w/ 2 cpd cops pulled up behind us and flashed their lights.

  Like with any police departments internal investigations unit or complaint unit, they will find that the cops acted accordingly and therefore no action is needed. Sad but true.

  the thread on the wt$ and the illuminati got me to think, and since i have to write a term paper in my sociology class i thought why not research some conspiracy theories.

  please help be listing some of your favorite ones.

  i only ask that you not tell me about 9/11, or the kennedy clan assassinations.

  I heard a new one today and going by their record, could be true......"The Bush administration had someone set the wildfires in California to divert attention away from the elections,the corruption and how bad they are doing in the polls".....Suck on that one for a while, lol.

  How can twelve years olds get baptized? it is crazy!

  my daughter's step child is getting baptized at the ripe old age of 12.. my sil is angry and i feel he should try and stop it through the courts, but they feel that would make his ex more determined for baptism to go ahead.. this child has no idea of the mistake they are making .

  would she get married at 12?.

  it is so sad and irresponsible for a child to take this step.. .

The rest are just hangin in by a thread.

  Who all has been offered the new tract?

  wow, i didn't think jws went out during the day anymore.

  it's probably even worse than trying to find people at home on a saturday morning!.

  they knocked on our door, and my wife answered.

  I had written in an earlier post that my wife received the tract about 3 weeks earlier than it was to be distributed. My brother, who thinks he is a JW told her not to tell anyone who gave it to her,including me. She told me he was acting like he was in some top-secret program or something, lol. Anyway after perusing its contents, it turned out to nothing more than top-secret bullshit! Nothing new. Same old tired speculation that the JW's have neen putting out for years.

  The summer convention used to be the "center" of our vacation, every year in the same city, the same old amusement park, the same old restaurants, the same old mini golf and of course the same old boring message from the podium. When I grew up and out of the religion, I made sure my wife and kids were treated to wonderful vacations. No suits and ties, no polished black shoes, no dresses for the girls, just us in our shorts and flip-flops, kids playing on the beach, and my wife and I sipping margaritas under a palm tree.

  Actually, in a study done recently, I believe Finland was crowned as the happiest country on earth......but then again who can believe those stupid researchers. If N.Korea wants the crown let em have it, they have nothing else. lol

  During the past six or so years, here in the USA, under a certain administration, which I won't name, the First Ten Amendments or the "Bill Of Rights" has been slowly eroded down to about Two that are still valid, so I would bet that the UN thingy u just posted has no affect here.
