Boxing or MMA...
by peacedog inif you have more than a passing interest in either of these two sports, you might be interested in ufc 118 tomorrow night.
mma legend randy couture fights heavyweight boxing champion james toney in the co-main event.. my money is on couture.
personally i think james toney is delusional for stepping into the octagon as a boxer, particularly against a guy with a strong wrestling background like couture.

misery, did you catch the previous UFC? 117? I thought Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen was a great main event. And Lesnar vs. Carwin (UFC 116) was good, no?

The question of what is the best martial art was answered at UFC 1... there was really no reason for this fight other than to sell tickets and maybe get some boxing fans' eyeballs onto MMA.
Defintely was not the best PPV I've ever seen, but there were a couple decent fights on the card... and I did enjoy watching Toney eat his words (courtesy of Couture's fists).
I think every other fight on the main card went the distance. Edgar looked outstanding beating BJ Penn (again), dominating him in every single round. (I really don't know why Penn deserved the rematch in the fist place...) Maynard beating Florian was a shock to some people... He'll fight Edgar next.
Hometown boy Lauzon put on a clinic against Ruediger on the undercard...

Watchtower's Jesus = Michael doctrine
by Ding ini've never really understood the watchtower's teaching on jesus being michael.
here is what i understand they teach:.
1. jehovah's first creation was the archangel michael.. 2. jesus was nothing more than a perfect man, not michael the archangel in human form.. 3. rather, when jesus was conceived in mary, michael went out of existence and his impersonal life force was put into jesus (analogous to sharing the same pacemaker).. 4. when jesus died, his impersonal life force went back into a recreated archangel michael.. .

Ding,
Great point. This is one of those elements of WT doctrine that JWs really don't want to think about.
If it was simply an *impersonal* "life force" that was transferred into the newly conceived Jesus, then how could it be said that the person Jesus was Michael at all? There was nothing *personal* exchanged between the two of them...
Further, if man (including the man Jesus) does not have a conscious and incorporeal spirit element, then Jesus truly ceased to exist for three days. If this is the case, then he was literally *recreated* as a brand new being after the third day, with nothing at all to link him to the previous being...
It's hard not to feel bad for the Jesus who walked on this earth... He's the one who suffered and died, and yet it's a brand new (and very underserving) Jesus who gets created from scratch and collects all the glory.
The real pain point for JWs in all this is that the same applies to them. JWs who die before the Big A are not *resurrected* in the New World™.... they are *recreated*....
In other words, the JW who lives and dies on this earth is not the same person who will live in Paradise.™ He might look the same, he might sound the same, but he's not the same. He is a facsimile of the original, a copy, with his own independent consciousness that is in NO WAY WHATSOEVER connected or related to the original person. This copy will live his own life and the original JW will know absolutely nothing about, because the original JW doesn't exist anymore. Just as the copy of Jesus is now reaping the rewards of the work done by the original Jesus, so the copy of the JW will reap the rewards of the work done by the original JW.

Just watched the replay of the weigh-ins.... Toney looks *grossly* out of shape... 237 pounds. I don't think he's ever weighed in that heavy for a fight...

Deputy Dog & BTS:
Yep, I think Toney is in for a rude awakening...
miseryloveselders:
I agree that the fight is something of a publicity stunt. The UFC would *love* to get some of the old school boxing fans interested in MMA. Hopefully Toney's involvement will do just that.
I also agree that Couture gets knocked out if he tries to stand with Toney... He's gotta know that himself, right?
Personally I don't see this fight getting out of the first round, probably not even the first minute. I expect Couture to clinch with Toney immediately and get the takedown. At that point, it'll be all but over...
