they per-ished ig - no - min - i - ous - ly How dark is that? Singing joyously about people dying???? It's actually pretty scary, when you think about it.

Wow...this a really good sign....I don't even remember that song....

And, Galileo, can you elaborate on the other post you made about the molested bees....that just sounds so bizarre....

Thanks All, for the great input on Dub speak. This has been fun.

How about rendezvous for the bookstudy location??? Or (this is before my time) colporteur???

Do you have a spritual eating disorder?

by Awakened at Gilead in

with all the talk of puking on the site lately, i wonder if many of us don't have spiritual eating disorders.... after all, many posters say things like "i'm puking in my mouth" while reading a pro-jw poster.. perhaps some have to really spiritually puke after attending a jw meeting to get the wt influence out.. so are you a spiritual bulimic?

a spiritual anorexic?

or do you just get that spiritual nausea when you see anything jw related?.

It's a well known fact that a steady diet of Dub grub leads to an altered state of mind that can be very dangerous.

If you experience any of these symptoms you should contact your physician immediately.

If The Gov't In Myanmar Refuses Relief Assistance Should We Invade To Help?

by minimus in

personally, i think it's not our job to make sure aid is provided for humanitarian needs.

if the government refuses the help, why should we force aid?

Alpaca

It scares me to think if we were in their shoes here and the government blocked help!

Remember Katrina??? Acts of omission are just as serious as affirmative actions. There was a time in this country that the federal government would have been mobilizing every possible resource help Americans in those straits.

Those days are gone and it scares me to think about the next super hurricaine, here. It is going to happen again here--just wait and see.

As for Myanmar, as sad as it is, I agree that the U.S. cannot be the guardians and protectors for the whole world.

"Why does America always bomb other countries?", my son asked tonight.

by digderidoo in

friends

first of all i do not want to turn this into an american bashing thread, that is not my intention at all.. i would like to hear americans opinions as to what my thirteen year old son asked me tonight.. on the way back from swimming tonight my two sons (13 and 11) and myself started talking about wars.

my 11 year old was the first to bring it up talking about wwi & ww2.

we had an interesting conversation about it, then the subject got onto nuclear bombs.

Alpaca

The points you raise are valid and on the minds of many (not enough) thinking Americans. America's day in the sun has long passed.

The United States had a great opportunity, in the years after WWII, to be the great moral leader for the world. Instead, our government supported despotic, totalitarian leaders as long as they supported American interests.

I love this country, and I believe the founding fathers were some of the most visionary people in history, but that doesn't change the fact that America lost its moral compass long ago, and this country is in decline morally, technologically, industrially, and in any other way you can suggest.

I've been in school for the last 9 years and there is a list of books as long as my arm that I want to read. One of them is "Sorrows of Empire," by Chalmers Johnson, that addresses these very issues. I have listened to him talk and read excerpts from the book -- check it out -- I think you'll find it riveting.

Cheers,

How about all that BS when they talked about the "type" and the "antitype" and the "antitypical."

Shit, I used to spend a lot of time studying and never did get my head around all of that mumbo jumbo.

Remnant is a good contender. It definitely gets the STUPID STAMP!!!!!!

It just goes to show you how ingrained that stuff is... to a person who was never a Dub it would sound stupid...but it didn't even dawn on me 'til you mentioned it.

Very, very stupid!!!!!!
