panty Hose at Meeting?
by hamsterbait ina friend of mine went to work in ny for a few months.. it was the middle of summer, and baking hot.. after the meeting an elder approached her and asked why wasnt she wearing panty hose at the kingdumb hell.. she said its too hot.. he said it disrespects jehoobie.. she said "so does staring at my legs during the meeting.".
i have also heard complaints that a bra strap might be visible under a blouse, so cardigans should still be worn.. how do these creeps cope when sitting on a beach?.
who was the gibbering buddy who sunbathed on the roof of beth hell showing off his packet in skimpy trunks?.

The time left is reduced

some of the highlights:.
it is futile to store up material things they will only end up in the landfill.

the latest and greatest from the people
who have made "lather, rinse, repeat"
a life's work...way to keep at your desk, boys
wasn't there a bubble of consternation after
the "stay alive in '75" debacle about some of
the dr0nes having accrued massive debt by
taking out loans they thought they wouldn't
ever (EVER) have to repay? maybe they aren't
saying it in so many words, but it sounds like
they are seasoning their fervor for the end with
a smattering of rational caution -

a figure lean or corpulent, tall or short, though deviating from beauty, may still have a certain union of the various parts, which may contribute to make them on the whole not unpleasing.

the divide between true graciousness and immature

Do you disagree with the Atheist's 21 commandments?
by dgp inpeople, here are the atheist's 21 commandments.
it would be interesting to know how many people on this board disagree with them or find them wrong.. 1. we are committed to the application of reason and science to the understanding of the universe and to the solving of human problems.
2. we deplore efforts to denigrate human intelligence, to seek to explain the world in supernatural terms, and to look outside nature for salvation.

more like doctrines than commandments....
nothing about them seems foreign to my outlook
reminiscent of this >>>
An atheist's creed
I believe in time,
matter, and energy,
which make up the
whole of the world.I believe in reason, evidence
and the human mind,the only tools we have;
they are the product of natural forces
in a majestic but impersonal universe,
grander and richer than we can imagine,
a source of endless opportunities for discovery.I believe in the power of doubt;
I do not seek out reassurances,
but embrace the question,
and strive to challenge my own beliefs.I accept human mortality.
We have but one life,
brief and full of struggle,
leavened with love and community,
learning and exploration,
beauty and the creation of
new life, new art, and new ideas.I rejoice in this life that I have,
and in the grandeur of a world that preceded me,
and an earth that will abide without me.PZ Meyer

Have you hit your 50's? Are you feeling it, or do you still feel young?
by restrangled ini'm curious, because in my 40's i felt like a million dollars.
i am starting to feel it,....i just don't have the stamina of working in the yard all day, coming in making dinner and getting the laundry done at the same time, or working full time.. i see the years in my face when i don't get enough sleep, and no amount of makeup makes a difference.
my eyes seem to always look tired.

turning 54 this spring
sure, i feel it every so often
my white (and i mean bright white) hair
has been part of my identity for half my
life so it isnt something i feel makes me
look, act, or feel "old"i am not as spry, nor fast, nor do i have
the endurance i once had, so i compensate
(holler for a kid to do it! )i have protected my skin from sun for decades
and i dont smoke so my skin is actually doing ok....i wont fool anyone into thinking i am younger than
my years... and have no inclination to try!hell, i am glad to be alive at any age.... so far

BEST DOCUMENTARY ON MORMONS!!! UNBELIEVABLE SIMILARITIES TO JW'S.
by whereami inexcellent documentary.
i couldn't believe the similarities.
listening to the "apostates" within the mormons is like listening to one of us.. this should be watched by ex-jdubs and regular jdubs.
