Orbiting - Are you taking applications? I lost my true love & so did you. Mayhaps we should give it a whirl. Who knows? We might put a healing hand on the hurt places.
Wanna try?

I am turned off by Logan's avatar. Looks like an ancient JW who hasn't taken a breath since he heard that Jaysus is coming back and who is liable to barf that industrial strength stuff any second now. Better warn the entire neighborhood that the big chunks are on their way any time now.

Well how do you do and all that kinda stuff. Francois here, one of the board's true philosophers. Others here would deny that claim, but they're Ozzies, so what would they know. That part of the group posts at night while regular humans are asleep, which just shows to go you how weird they really are, with the exception of Ozziepost, who is a wine snob of the highest order and recommends the best drops known to man. Best you pay attention to him, as he really knows his stuff.
this question may not make too much sense.
if a man creates a computer, using the best parts and software design with the intent of analyzing data accurately and reliably, would he also design it with the ability or freedom to 'crash' or spread viruses to other computers if it chose to?
if a man trains a dog with the intent of being a family pet, would he also give it the knowledge to kill humans or other animals?
Because we are imbued with free choice. Absent it, we would be little more than automatons.

Regret makes an awful life's companion, and losing my true love in 1978 has lead to decades of awful regret that I am helpless to banish. I would rather never have met McGraw than to have met her only to have to see to and feel her scar upon my heart day in and day out every day since. Especially is this true when I know if we had been able to stay together I would have been the happiest of men, and she she most fulfilled of women. The fact that it was all my own fault makes the pain even that much more poignant. I will not find surcease until this life is over, if then.

i am bored.. i must not be accustomed to having a normal life or something.
i have too much time, and nothing to do with it.
it's been 7 weeks and 3 days since i sent my letter of disassociation.
I suggest you do the passion first, then the beer. See, the beer if taken in too great a quantity will zip the lead right out of your pencil and there'll be NO passion that night, not with no floppy pencil. See what I mean? So, try to remember: passion first, beer later.
i'd like to know what you think of the "all important, life saving preaching work".
even if this preaching was considered a success, it would not be able to save the billions of people on this earth.
recently, my mother told me how she believe that jehovah god is patiently keeping the door open, since every year, new ones come into the "truth".
Honest hearted ones? You know why they call 'em that? Cause there's only one in each congregation. And NONE in the GB. Why, Ted Jacarz could trip over an honest hearted one and break his god damned fool leg and not recognize an honest hearted one. Why? Cause he don't know an honest hearted one from a can of Spam. I really think ol' Ted likes to eat pork 'n' beans and get in a warm soapy tub, fart, and try to bite the bubbles. And THAT is a compliment, so don't go cuttin' up my post, see?
That's how ol' Teddy gets his best ideas, from tryin' to bite fart bubbles in the tub. I heard he tries to lite 'em with one of them barbeque lighters with the long stem on it, but I think that's a damn no-count lie, designed to make Ted look silly myself.
does anyone else have trouble processing the logic behind the wts issue of universal sovreignty?
why empower satan to make claims and give him the time and circumstances to prove his claims?
why have a bet between 2 people decide the fate of the universe?
You bet your ass it's unnecessary. And it makes no sense because it's ALL MADE UP to try to make sense out of nonsense. There's really no such thing as:
Original Sin
Atonement
Propitiatory Sacrifice
or any of that other bullshit that would make of the living God a frickin JOKE.
God's Sovreignty has NEVER been at issue, NEVER. The time lapse of mercey is characteristic of God in that he fully allows the erring one, in this case Satan, the fullness of time in which to recant his error, turn around, and once again join the brotherhood of the sons of God. Looks like the time lapse of mercy in Satan's behalf has not worked, and that soon the judgement of justice will overtake Satan.
And because we have been made to suffer because of the wrong doing of our cosmic superiors, I suspect there is to be a large payoff to we who have suffered. I don't know what, but I expect it to be LARGE.
Now, all that I can understand. But the prattling of six senile octogenarians in Brooklyn, I cannot understand. I can understand that because of the destruction they have wrought in human families, that the living God is going to kick some GB butt, I can understand that IN FULL. And I want to see all of it.

please provide proof that elders are not appointed by holy spirit or are especially giftd with more holy spirit than anyone else.
I just couldn't WAIT to jump on my response to that thread, then I read Elsewhere's response and I knew right away that I'd been outclassed before I even touched the keyboard. My hat's off to you sir, you have done it up with a golden lining, outclassed me and done it with flash and incredible speed, too. I must be getting old.
My hat is off to St. Elsewhere, the champeen of this thread. I have been humbled.

I have only seen maybe two pair of good looking feet, and they were both on wimmen.
Men do not have good looking feet. Period. Men who wear flip-flops out in public should be tied to a tree and beat to death with a pair of flip-flops that are at least two sizes bigger than the ones the beatee wears. No matter how clean a guys feet look, you just KNOW there's a year's worth of grunge underneath each and every toenail the reprobate's got. So death to him. And I don't care if he's picked up in San Francisco, either. Still death.
