  Only Southerners know

  by WildHorses in

  only a southerner knows the difference between a 'hissie fit' and a 'conniption', and that you don't "have" them, you "pitch" them.

  only a southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc.

  make up a 'mess'.

  Hearing a Southerner use the word "taboo" was one of the funniest moments of my admittedly pathetic life.

  Camilla on one arm, Fatima Whitbread on the other. Of such things are fantasies made.

  Gods, that one made me spew wine!

  Cruzanheart, have you read Richard III by Paul Murray Kendall. It's an excellent biography of the much maligned King. More and Shakespeare have a lot to answer for. I tend to agree with you about Henry VII probably being the real culprit. Henry did turn out to be a much needed stabilising influence though. And he shrewdly increased the royal wealth considerably, which Henry VIII appreciated immensely.

  i talked to my brother today who is still a practicing jw (i've managed to fade) .

  we were talking and suddenly he asked me if i thought satan could read my mind.

  and he said "yeah i though the answer was yes and then i found out that satan cant read my mind".

  Yizuman:

  You said:

  Nowhere does scripture support that Satan can read the minds of human beings. So if scripture doesn't say he can read minds, therefore he cannot.

  Then you said:

  Or in my case, I don't think it outloud in sign language either, he does know ASL.

  However, I am here to provide spiritual comfort to you! For Brother, where in scripture does it say that Satan knoweth ASL? Sign away, brethren, for the serpent doth wot not what thy hand motions signify!

  Now that's why I have an anatomicaly correct saddle, course it doubles the pleasure, doubles the fun being that it's a man's saddle

  Yes, I remember all the horny young female university students in Cambridge have fun riding their bikes all over the cobblestone streets.

  Not that I look at women riding bicycles, you understand. Definitely not if they're wearing tight spandex and no undies.

  That's not true, not every different opinion is irrational or Satan-inspred. But the ones that fall into that category are very easy to spot.

  Yes, they're the opinions that disagree with the JW's.

  Women shouldn't be allowed to ride bicycles. Sometimes it makes them lose their virginity.
