That's no lunar lander in that photo. The lunar lander had a ladder for descent to the moon's surface and was wrapped in gold foil in many places. That thing in the photos looks like something from Doctor Who.

the august, 2003 issue of electric space craft, a scientific journal, contains an amazing series of images taken from nasa footage included in the tv program, nova: to the moon.
the significance of the images has only recently been noticed.

astounding news from the theocratic warfare front!.
czarofmischief news and pr services was astounded to learn, in a press conference with the supreme high majesty jehovaq, that his eternal majesty has decided to found his own crime syndicate in the predominately italian ethnic region of bloomfield, pittsburgh, pa.. jehovaq, still bearing the scars from his recent confrontation with new watchtower deity, snoop doggy dawg, said, "i've been around for 20 billion years, and i made the whole universe, but now it's time to work on my street cred.
i'm publicly entitled to all the glory, power and honor, and i'd like a larger slice of the numbers rackets in the area.".
I'm afraid you've got it wrong, totally wrong.
A Dago is a Greek
A Wop is an Italian. You can tell from listening to their helicopters: wop, wop, wop, wop, wop.

if you could take a guess as to what you were in a past lifetime - what or who would you be?
in my opinion,(since i don't necessarily believe in reincarnation - i'd guess what i'd like to have been.
) if some of you delved further in this topic and actually know what or who you were, please share.
I deny that I have any past lives to report. However, I too have a psychic friend who insists that I have several past lives on this planet. The one that I remember most of is that I was a Samurai in the 1500s in Japan. I was unexcelled with the two swords...almost. One day outside Osaka Castle, I was sneaked up upon by a Ninja and was beheaded before I could even draw my long sword and my spirit was out of my body before my head hit the ground. Dramatic, huh?
Some other life I lived I supposedly was some sort of expert in some field that had me doing research in the British Museum for years. Now that sounds interesting.
However, I believe this is my first life anywhere. And my last life here. I will die on this planet and my evolving potentially immortal soul will be reincarnated on the first training world of this local universe's training spheres where I will begin my ages long journey into perfection and the center of all things.

was anyone you know's entire faith in all things jw shattered by one specific incident or teaching?
or was anyone you know's faith squeezed from them by systematic taunting for not towing the line?.
for me it was a whole combination of things, not one specific incident, and it was gradual.
Frannie, you're so right. The highest form of entertainment to a JW is to sit around on the floor in a circle and see how many new and novel ways they can think up to give the axe to unsuspecting congregation members. I makes me want to heave.
I can honestly say that I have experienced more love and acceptance in many of the other churches of Christendom than I have found in any of the churches of Jehovah's Witnesses.
The current crop of young people in the JWs will look like raisins and still the end will not have come, and still the WTBTS will be speaking of the fast approaching day of God's great day of vengence. As if God allows vengence to cross his mind. It's all too juvenile to be taken seriously.

and this is from when i was growing up until i left home at 18.. every single weekend was field service.

......when you wake up sad and annoyed, and it just goes downhill fast from there?
when all of your clothes make you feel fat, and you want breakfast but you've rummaged through the fridge and all of the cupboards and nothing sounds good, and your cheerful s/o is just making you feel worse with their attempts to make you feel better, and you can't find your favorite book anywhere, and the littlest things get on your nerves for no reason, which just makes you even more irritable because you know you're being childish but can't help it, and everything just plain sucks?
any suggestions for the terminally cranky?.
I don't know if you lovelies know this, but a nice plate of fresh pasta with your favorite toping can reall work wonders. A good heavy load of carbs can molllify the FTS ogre really quickly (We don't have PMS down south, we have FTS: Fixin' To Start) and the men of the south, all gallant to the very last one, have been researching this problem since the end of the War of the Northern Agression. We'll do anything to hep (that's southern too) our ladies out during these tense times. Give you perfumed baths; body rubs with natural perfume essences; foot massages with perfumed oils; shampoos with fruit scented shampoo, followed by a warm conditioner with, say apple pectins in it. And although we make contact with your heavenly bodies, we would never without invitation, attempt to enter therein during these trying times absent invitation. When we're done, you're ready for introduction in the courts of the most discriminating shiek of the Ottoman Empire.
Personally, I like those simple but knowing women, like SP for instance, who can be cured by a simple hard pop in the hay and they're ready to take on the world. I want one of those types for me. Where do I get one?
Do you ladies know that men have exactly such days as you, brought on by exactly the same reasons? Yes. And you could build bonds each and every month if you would think about giving them the same treatment you desire at those times.
Just a suggestion.

i am so hooked on the tv show dead like me that i watch each episode a couple of times.
i just love it.
i think it's a very intelligent quirkly show that never fails to surprise me, make me laugh and even make me feel a bit sad.
Frankly, I don't watch tv much at all. Until recently, I only watched Friends and I had only been doing that for a year.
About three weeks ago, believe it or not, I started watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and I really am amused by it and a little jealous of their skills. Next time I redecorate, I'm gonna see if I can find five or six gay friends to come over and take over.

as you know, last year-7th grade was extraordinarily difficult for b (and me).
toward the end of the school year, i took b to an adolescent psychologist to try to sort out the problems because i just couldn't figure it out.
the psychologist ran a battery of tests related to add/adhd and b came up negative on both counts.
Of course you can wear it to bed. I mean, that's where I do the majority of my sleeping. And I tend to sleep mostly on my right side, too. Once you get used to this thing you hardly know it's there. Highly recommended. Oh, and you can't hear the machine and you can barely hear the breathing going on either.

george burns explained it so well in oh god!
part 2.. "you can't have a top without a bottom".. "you can't have sweet without sour".. "you can't have up without down".. "you get rid of sad and happy goes right out the door too".. so now we know why god doesn't want to make life perfect.
it's not natural!.
George was very Taoistic.
As Lao Tzu has said, "Beauty can only be appreciated because of the existence of ugliness."
