  WWI and Beer

  by Farkel in

  in april, 1917 the united states declared war on germany.

  the german u-boats had sunk a bunch of american ships and the war declaration was justified, even though woodrow wilson was basically, a total asshole.. anti-german frenzy hit the american shores.

  sauerkraut was renamed "freedom cabbage" and dachshunds were stoned to death.

  Farkel ... you having a bad day or summat?

  I was drawn by the subject heading "WW1 and Beer" ... plus I enjoy your posts. Reading through this I'm facing submarines, Americans, Germans, Taxes, Prohibition, Health Care, Republican politics (I think) .... not much about Beer or World War 1

  That wouldn't be so bad but then you lambaste pig for daring to mention Churchill as being irrelevant to the topic! I'm not being sidetracked by that either as I believe Churchill has as much to answer for as he is to be praised. (Hmm - maybe I was sidetracked)

  With a name like "Manhattan Project" it just smacks of Armageddon!

  They simply can't leave that concept alone

  What is the stupidest comment you ever heard at a meeting?

  by 3rdgen in

  a very reliable friend told me this: the bro was commenting on what was "unacceptable" conduct in the bedroom between married persons.

  needless to say, he had everyone's attention.

  he went on to say "we must avoid perversions such as oral and annual sex.

  A young lad reading at the book study managed to get "fleshy organisms" to become "fleshly orgasms"... wonder what he was thinking about?

  And then there was this kindly old elder who managed to desrcibe "ladies of the night" as "promise girls" - as opposed to the "promiscuous girls" he wanted say! Wonder what he he had on mind too?

  Coroner's insight re real reason for refusing transfusion death

  by Luo bou to in

  http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8372556.

  quote from coroner "i accept that this doctrine has been an entrenched principle of the jehovah witness religion since 1945 despite considerable debate.. "nevertheless, mrs allen's death most graphically illustrates the consequence of the rigid adherence to that doctrine and brings me to recommend, perhaps forlornly, that the jehovah witness governing body and its elders give consideration to a relaxation of its doctrine".

  now there's one judge that doesn't buy the only following his bible trained conscience bullshit.

  It's sad and despicable that anybody dies through a rejection of a regular medical procedure. My condolances to any body that has to suffer the grief over the loss of a loved one.

  I can't help thinking, though, a decent diet (am I being heartless?) in this case may well have prevented both surgery and subsequent refusal of a transfusion.

  I always said (even thirty years ago) "the truth only made me fat, not free". Why didn't I listen to myself years ago?

  A rational explanation would be fascinating I'm sure. -sizemik

  Is that even remotely possible from the source? Rationale seems to be only a concept to the author(s)

  I believe this is an extreme example of "the latency of networks" LoL

  Or quite possibly, this is the Approved (see Fred7777) website of JWs and has been posted from Outer Pleiades

  we all know the jdubs boast about the earthly hope.

  they also love to boast about their conversations with those who feel they have a heavenly hope.

  they will mention how when they ask people this question: "what will you do in heaven?
