Venus Williams French Open Outfit Dominates Headlines - Pictures Included
by Mythbuster invenus williams easily won her opening match at the french open on sunday, beating patty schnyder with consecutive 6-3 victories.
but it was not her performance that drew the most attention.
williams' lacy black-and-red outfit, which gave "the illusion of being see-through" according to the ap, is the tennis star's most talked-about on-court apparel choice since she wore a skimpy green uniform at the australian open in january (where she was voted an australian open hottie).

I thought it was pronounced "Butt-nekkid"....my dad is from Arkansas, that's how he says it. LOL
I'd have the same problem if I were wearing some ivory colored panties under my skirt, which is why I tend to avoid tennis, I'm too white to be out in the sun that long. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to be chasing balls around in the hot weather, I dunno.

No, although I did watch Dyer for about 30 minutes once on PBS just for shits and giggles. He's a hoot, really.
He walks around dressed like a Buddhist monk now and it really adds a lot of drama to his bullshit. All these people are ENTERTAINERS who got carried away with themselves and think they're for real.
I kind of like Deepak Chopra in one way because he openly says that religion is a crock. He denounced Hinduism for humanism very publicly because the Hindu's preach peace and build nuclear bombs.
I kind of like a guy who isn't afraid to tell a huge religion to go blow goats, you know. As for his medical philosophy, I'll still be going to the doctor when I'm sick, thanks anyway. He's just talking the same old feel good New Age stuff, which is as old as dirt, really.
Nothing new here, people, just old stuff in new book covers.

Damn that girl has some legs! I'm jealous.
I don't give a hoot what anyone wears, but Ms Williams wears very short skirts in public all the time. I've seen her in skimpier outfits than this.
The tennis lingerie look is kind of interesting, reminds me of Madonna wearing her undies everywhere in the 80s and calling it fashion. Nothing new here, move along. LOL

Would you still believe if there were no reward in the afterlife
by donny insome months ago i was listening to a co-worker witnessing to some others about why he believes and why they should to.
as i listened i kept hearing over and over about the "rewards" of eternal life in heaven in the kingdom of god.
later on we had a conversation that went like this.. me: can i ask you a question about your beliefs?.

Yeah, I admit, I set her up big time. I told her that the lady was really interested in the Bible, which wasn't lying at all.
The Baptist minister's wife (they were what they called "Liberal Baptists") was a neighbor of mine who I really liked. I didnt like her husband as much though...too die hard political. I didn't want to hear how great Bush was from him every time I said howdy neighbor. He was a decent guy, though...I just didn't want to argue politics with him all day, because I'm not a Republican. (not a Democrat either, but that didn't seem to phase him much, LOL)

Proverbs, should you read this material to your children?
by cyberjesus in5 trust in jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding.
6 in all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.. .
i called on the phone the other day an ex-jw friend of mine.

If you made a realistic movie out of the Old Testament...I'd say it'd need at least an R rating as defined by the American Motion Picture whoevers.
Ironic that people will read that mess of sex and violence to their kids and confiscate their video games and music for being too violent and sexual in content.

I had a Baptist ministers wife prove to me quite convincingly a few years ago that Witnesses really do believe in brownie pointing their way into paradise.
What was funny was that I had a piosneer with me at the time to offer counterpoint and she couldn't. LOL I never saw a piosneer so befuddled and pissed in my life, god that was good day.
I'm not a Baptist, but I have to say, that woman knew her Bible better by far than the average JW...or even one who had been to piosneer school.
The piosneer wrote it off in that typical cult fashion..."I think Satan was helping her...I won't be going back there again!" Yeah, Run Piosneer, Run, da debil be after you! LOL

SELF-TESTING for the influences of MIND-CONTROL
by Terry inif you have been "brain washed" the control of your thinking has been wrested away from you and diverted.. .
hidden cues have replaced the ordinary path of logical analysis when examining your world.. .
think of this like a detour sign on a highway.

I think the word you're looking for is "dictator" of the North...North Korea, that is.
I quit trying to apply ancient prophecies about ancient kingdoms to modern times, places and events quite a while ago. I got tired of looking stupid.

Believe what? Making deals with incoporeal entities is always a problem. The contracts are so nebulous. LOL
I just do what I do and believe what I believe because it makes me happy now. Yesterday is like money already spent, today is like money in the bank, tomorrow is like an IOU.
