Apparently this guy USED to be a fantacist in the West Bank, but after seeing what that does to people, and causes people to do to people, he's come to believe that there is no "one right way", and that a pluralism of faith is okay... what a different world it would be if everybody felt that way.

Happy Birthday to me! Thanks, y'all. A friend asked me I felt older today. My answer: "Nope, I feel YOUNGER!". And I do, thanks in part to my exit...
I was a bit sad that my wife didn't wish me a Happy Birthday this morning... but I'll get over it. My brother did call me on my cell this morning (woke me up!), and my sister did yesterday, to wish me the same.
[[EDIT!!! Late breaking news... my wife just sent me a text message on a different matter and closed it with "... birthday boy! :-)" ]]

It's a picture of a nurse holding a needle that says "be carefull how you treat your nurse".
That's funny! And you're spot on about the coffee!

OK you scuz buckets... I'm mad now!
by dawg infolks, surly one of you can tell me what the scriptual reasons the jws have that only the so called "annointed" should partake of the evening meal as the laughable jws call it?
have i pissed someone off?
did i not bathe this week?

Your question made me just realize... JW's teach that Jesus' illustration about 'caring for Christ's brothers' applies to how we treat the 'anointed'.
Yet wouldn't that parable then also mean that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FEEDING THEM, not the other way around?!
Mat 25:37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? Mat 25:40 "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' -

I'm a pilot (for fun), and my wife found this cup for me with a classic Piper J-3 Cub on it, flying over a countryside scene...
I'll post a picture of the other one later, after I see some of yours!
(Does that make this a I'll show you mine if you show me yours? thread?!?)

The dead brothers and their antics absolutely slayed me; I was laughing so hard... De Niro's performance was, as usual, outstanding...
