One time we had the circuit overseer and the district at the same time. i dont remember who the co was but the do was a nasty guy named Manera i think. He was the proverbial sob for meanness. we went to lunch with both guys and manera treated the waiter so bad it was embarrassing. I think he was in the habit of ordering around young men like a tyrant.

What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?
by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique ini once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.
due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.
isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

Feelings about what life should be or what we think it should be can drive us for many years. when your young your time bank account is full and dreams seem possible but as you age and you fully pursue the avenues of your dreams and it's one disappointment after another you sit down and make up a new plan. From now on i will recognize the difference between what I know and what I think I know. It 's really hard to live without a narrative to be truly a free spirit and to say it out loud. I don't know what we are or whose in charge if anyone is or do we exist after we die or not. Living in freefall without anything to hold on to is strange but it is a true place and i always said I wanted truth whatever it turned out to be. So yea some days are better than others sometimes it bothers me to live this answerless life and other times it makes me angry that i bit onto dreams and they turned out to be wrong. However the future goes i don't know but i will not buy into anything that I can't prove but spend the rest of my time rumageing through what evidence I can find, trying to enjoy what I can out of life and especially reveling in the knowledge that i am living as Thoreau coined deliberately, to front only the essential facts of llfe and not when i came to die discover that I had not lived.

Jack and Buster ran for the woods
holding fast their treasured goods
On their heels the magpie flew
No one knew what she would do
Running with their hair on fire
Wishing that old bird would tire
Deep in the woods a secret spot
Where they hid to smoke some pot

Interesting Genetic Research Published on Dog Evolution
by cantleave insome interesting work has been published this month in nature and reported in various blogs and journals.
it is work that gives more evidence to support the fact of evolution.
a team of swedish scientists led by evolutionary geneticist erik axelsson from uppsala university have identified genetic changes that could have been responsible for the transformation of wild wolves, into the ancestors of our beloved pet dogs.

I believe there are many unsolved mysteries on this planet. We often read books and the authors just say primitive humans decided one day to grab a handful of grass and agriculture was born and wolves showed up eating leftovers and turned onto dogs. It's not that simple the real question is where do the grains come from? I can't imagine a primitive human imagining that grasses could turn into wheat or corn if they started planting the tastier pieces. I'm leaning towards the anunnaki theory. All the indigenous people in the americas said the gods gave them corn. So who are the gods? I'm thinking this planet has had some genetic manipulation an it's not from jehovah, jesus or angels .

Life On Mars, "Strongest Evidence Yet"
by metatron inhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/9814256/strongest-evidence-yet-to-there-being-life-on-mars.html.
frankly, nothing about this story impresses me (as it just repeats the essence of a old thomas gold theory that there's lots of life under the surface of the planets)........................ except.
the fact that it is finally within the mainstream "reputable" media.

i know that if they did find something on mars that would be considered disturbing they wouldn't broadcast it on the news. At this point I don't trust nasa anymore than the wtbs. The real difficulty is sorting through everything and finding solid evidence because everyone has an agenda and finding out anything takes work. In the field of archeology everyone has an opinion and some people thrive on being debunkers and others love wild ufo stories. I don't know what to think anymore.

If you drink coffee . . .
by compound complex indo you prefer regular brew or the fancy offerings?
can you drink it -- the leaded stuff -- any time, night or day?.
no survey here, just curious.

I like my cbtl coffee maker and I drink a variety of coffees colombian, kona, vienna, costa rican and i like it with cream no sugar.
The reason I can drink coffee and remain unaffected is because I'm a fast processor of caffeine. I always wondered why I could drink coffee and go to sleep. We had our dna done by 23 and me it's extremely interesting and the price is down to $99. for the complete package. That's how I found out I was a fast processor of caffeine and if you are a slow processor you will get jittery and it could be dangerous but actually kind of good for you if you are fast.
I usually only drink it in the morning sitting in my recliner watching the weather channel it's a very relaxing experience.
