The 'Carlin Step'
by WhatAboutWatson ini don't know about you folks but music now a days seem to lack real artistic intergrity on the radio.
lady gaga was born some way, i assume and hope from the departure of a womb.
britney spear's "hold it against me" is a metaphor for s&m love making and bruno mar's "grenade" will be used in the next peral harbor film.. one song though not only has me tapping my feet but it has me thinking!.

Is this an assembly hall?
I would assume that after you add up the mortgage, insurance, normal mothly maintenance, letterhead, stamps, gardeining, power, 144000, water, labor, and the cable for the Co apartment, devide it by the number of circuits, multiply that by a random number generated by hashing the total age of the governing body, you should get a nice tidy sum, to pay the bills, and send the reset to the worldwide work.

I think most still do. I seems to me that you are sometimes looked down on by some if you don't. I do know of two that didn't because they invited more than the hall could hold, so I think it was viewed different. I got married in the hall, I think because I wasn't much involved in planning and I just went along, I really never thought to look anywhere else. Of course I was young then and just wanted it to be over becuase i don't like big crowds. I think it was really the MIL getting the wedding she wanted, rather that the wife and I.
I would have been happer to get married outside in a park.

This is an intereting book. I think this quote completly blows the whole argument.
"Moreover it was not literature that had the greatest missonary effect in the first and second centries, but Jewish and christian preachingm oral disscussins and personal testimony in word and action, encounters which led to participation in the synagogue services or meetings of the christian community."
