  A question for all Whisky drinkers.

  by lfcviking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello chumz on the board.

  nothing really to do with jwism but who prefers the american 'bourbon' type such as 'wild turkey', 'jim beam' etc or who prefers a fine single malt scotch such as 'glenfiddich' or 'glenmorangie'?

  i am not trying to stir up nationalism with this question but am just genuinely curious.. lfcv.

  Trying this right now, and I highly recommend it!

  
  
  The only bourbon-based liqueur on the market, Wild Turkey liqueur brings out the best flavors of our premium bourbon, but with real honey to give it a sweetness that's hard to resist. The palate is a bit like syrup and glides around the mouth with obvious notes of vanilla and citrus.
  
  Perfectly suited for after-dinner consumption, it rounds-out Wild Turkey?s portfolio of exceptional products. Wild Turkey Liqueur also marries well with Wild Turkey Bourbon to make a Kentucky-style "Golden Nail." It also goes well with vanilla ice cream, pecan pie, or as an ingredient in a butterscotch sauce.
  
  Wild Turkey Liqueur is the recipient of a Silver Medal at the 2000 San Francisco World Spirits Competition

  the new wt cd has removed the book "life everlasting in the freedom of the sons of god.".

  can anybody put up a scan of the chronological chart ( around page 36 or so) that states definitely:.

  "2975: end of christs milliennial reign.".

  Lubberly!

  So much for the WTBTS claim that they never stated that 1975 was the end.

  They clearly have no conscience.

  All JWs will have to accept as if from God any teaching or pronouncement made by a group of assclowns living in Brooklyn, NY.

  Oops, my bad, they already do that.

  BA- What could be worse? I dunno.

  very personal and yet it happens way too often, but would you forgive and if you did, how would it change you and the relationship?.

  or is it over?.

  > So, Jesus' yoke was kindly and his load was light, but not so the WTS.

  
  
  The funny (sad) part is that the WTS uses that very scripture to try and convince the rank and file that what is being asked of them really isn't that big a deal, that it CAN'T be, because Jesus' load is light, right? So if you don't think it's light, there is something wrong with you. Maybe you're not praying, studying, and answering at meetings enough. Maybe you don't trust Jehovah enough.

  Yes, according to: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070309/media_nm/globalwarming_usa_magazines_dc_1;_ylt=AsnufqTiQ5V.RN9iEgQOTDx.KcMA

  "the SI cover warns "As the Planet Changes, So Do the Games We Play: Time to Pay Attention" and shows baseball pitcher Dontrelle Willis standing in a stadium full of water in Florida.

  As oceans get warmer and ice caps melt, the seas will rise and coastal areas like South Florida will "eventually be underwater," the magazine says.

  Baseball could see faster balls and less timber for bats, golf courses will have to live on less water and pesticides and ski competitions will have to move to higher slopes for snow.

  "Fighting global warming ... can be an integral part of building more profitable professional teams and keeping sports alive for generations," said Eben Burnham-Snyder of the Natural Resources Defense Council, which lauded the cover issue."

  Imagine that.

  Could make things interesting if what is imagined comes to fruition.

  BA- Imagination is imaginary.

  Will God have mercy?

  i was thinking of this the other day.

  though i am not christian or any other religion, and at times even question the validity of god (which becomes more appearent with all the shit that goes on in this world every day), i stopped and thought, what if?

  what if after this life those who did not believe in a higher power, ie god, go to meet this maker.

  I just asked Him.

  He said "Yes".
