Frighty,

Life is just not cricket when you happen to be the bat....is it Frightmare.

lol Prof,
My Education: Six degrees in all, including a B.A. from USC, a B.S. from UCLA, an M.A. from SMU, and a Ph.D. from TCU (all achieved in 25 years) Areas of Expertise: medicine; dentistry; biology; agriculture; astronomy; marine biology; botany; psychology; physics; law; zoology; chess. Occupation(s): Professor and high school science teacher; noted Boy Scout leader (I was the youngest Eagle Scout in Cleveland) and writer.
You can blame this disgusting excess of education on the Professor's mother, who for many years gave him his Christmas presents at Easter by mistake. Eventually she realised that as an active JW she should not have been celebrating either festive occasion. The shock of this discovery kick-started a remarkable educational career in her son who went on and on.

Hi Mighty Fighty,
I have an English degree, have disdain for the ‘Three Degrees’, and can to a certain degree spot a wandering Troll.
What is your point?

An Antidote To 'Screen Sickness'.

an alarming waste of time imho.. as a result of this our lawns have overgrown, our families have been neglected, the parrot is losing its feathers due to starvation and the real world has passed us by with an understandable glare in our direction.. yes, screen sickness; that desire to converse ad nasuem with digital acquaintances whose eyes ( or in yks case eye ) we have never seen, has spread greedily among us.
in his wonderful essay on painting as a pastime, winston churchill gave some excellent advise for those who find their concentration becoming obsessed or overwrought, he said:.

Jdubla,
ps: re-reading my post it seems to have a certain negative tone toward you......just so you dont get the wrong idea, personally ive enjoyed your posts whenever ive come across them. they are always intelligent, well thought out, and your use of subtle humor and sarcasm almost always induces a chuckle.
No offense taken Jdubla, thank you for your comments. Actually even YK grew tired of his own thread and has apparently gone elsewhere to spread prophetic mayhem. If you see a wild, one-eyed person dressed like Isaiah condemning the quality of the coffee in your local McDonalds - you know who it is.
Best regards to you - HS

Mac,
Thank you for the information.
It is truly commendable that these supplies are helping bring relief to war torn areas that are in a desperate plight.
The individual JW's involved are to be commended for their courage in entering these areas, many held by bandits, as they did in Serbia, risking their lives to help others, not just JW's.
One must however be aware that the WTS always has mixed motives in these situations. Their desire to 'butter up' the French Government is an important part of their PR agenda, given the tax and cult issue. The Congo as you know is closely affiliated with France.
The following quote of course is of tantamount importance and verifies the comments I made about this issue some while ago:
More relief efforts were done by various NGOs in the previous year and are still being done in Congo-Kinshasa towards helping thousands of refugees who were affected by the seven months war in the country. Among the NGOs doing the notable work in Congo is the Zambia Association of Jehovah's Witness (ZAJW) which was formed early last year.
The WTS vilifies 'Christendom' for its ties with politics while simultaneously trying to hide its own, but at least hungry people are eating some WTS cooked food.....at last.

Ginny,
I will try to find that quotation for you.
Now. I understand the reason for your reasoned posts, the work break! I often wonder what some of the posters do for a living and how they find the time to keep up with the reading.
I do not think I will ever be able to view a kitchen plunger in quite the same way again! Is plunger size really important?
Take care Ginny, cherish your life, you really seem to have it under your control, a rare thing these days.
Have a great weekend - HS

Larc,
This does indeed sound a fascinating area of exploration and would seem to attack at root the difficulty that most of us have is assessing the worth of a persons work without the introduction of the common 'human' predjudices that often mar our judgments.
It has to do with the accuracy of human jugement. The specific data I am looking at, has to do with the judgement managers make when they appraise their employees performance. The standard way of determining their accuracy is to compare their ratings with someone else's ratings who also knows the employees.
Just a question or two to clarify the MO as in conventional analysis it seems that 'knowing' the employee is crucial to the accuracy of report.
If the work that a person does is more easily assessed, for example a salesman hits his target of 30,000 widget sale per month, is punctual good natured and dedicated, would the system work as well for example with a social worker, whose qualities are measured against much more abstract assesments and more difficult to quantify?
Would a specific model need to be set up for 'types' of employment? If so how would it address the change in social attitudes toward performance that that alter with time. For example, the sucessful manager of 20 years ago would perhaps be judged sorely lacking in life skills in todays business world. Does the model 'average out' performance?
Forgive my ignorance, this area of expertise is way outside my own, but it does interest me.
Best to you Larc - HS

This Just Burns Me UP! [:(!]
by Aintthatcute ini have read a great deal from the silentlamb's web site, not to mention other sites that are following this atrocity!
it would seem to me, and you can probibly bet, when something like this comes to the attention of the elders; that all of thier children are warned to stay clear of "publisher alleged child abuser"!
even though they are supposed to be "hush-hush" about it.

YK,
The way I see it,
Sweet Lord, not again.....!
Please YK, write a poem about golden daffodils, count Liberace's sequins, polish the cat, pretend that you are an elder, anything but more prophecies.
Though I agree that all Gods true prophets were opposed, I cannot remember one scripture saying;
'...and the people of Israel grew desperately bored with the prophecies of Jeremiah and decided to save God the job by drowning themselves en-masse in the River Jordan...'
Please old fellow, have a little mercy on us drooling hyena's, we are people too, don't yer know, You Know.
Take the dog for a walk, better still take Fred Hall if they allow him out these days. -- HS

Slip,
I try to relax by downloading porn, reading the news or programming
I presume that given your chosen activities, 'try' is the operative word here! Obviously a lot of vibrant energy to focus. Why not resurrect Eric Clapton's 'Drugs Are For Losers' program! OK, calm down, Just teasing…..
Larc,
I look forward, if I am allowed, to reading your embryonic work when completed. Your posts are always of interest to me. I have found re-reading E.M.Forster, William Gerhardie ( Of Mortal Love ) & Hesse ( Narziss and Goldmund especially ) clears the corridors of my mind.
Waiting,
You do sound as if you have a life full! Congratulations on our daughters wedding and enjoy the Drifters - memories are made of this…
