  why don't the witnesses have an accredited university?

  almost all other xtian denominations do.

  why not dubs?

  I don't know, if they run it as a theological seminary I think they can dodge a good many of the issues associated with accreditation. They may also be in a position to get their students governement backed loans. How those loans would be paid back is another issue, unless they move to having a paid clergy. Then the question becomes how are the clergy going to be paid.

  just come off the phone to my mum.

  she asked me why i da'd from the wtbts, she'd been to the meeting this morning and she'd been at the bottle as well - not a good combo, for her, anyway.. i said i did'nt want to go into it too much, as i may stumble her.

  she kept pushing so i said, last year i was'nt happy about the overlapping generation doctrine and did'nt agree that the org had taken bits out of the nwt.

  The only use statements like this when they've been caught in an error. All the rest of the time you are expected to take everything they saw as if it came straight from God's mouth.

  They can't have it both ways.

  I got to hear the Ninth at the Seattle Symphony two years ago at Christmas. What a great night.

  I doubt there is a classical tune on earth that can put a scratch let alone a dent in any of these stats.

  If people are still listening to Eminem two hundred years from now, you can have that debate with somebody.

  Make them fill it before you take it. I don't rent cars often but they always have full tanks. I think it might be the law here.

  For those in need, legal marijuana should be on sale by then. Might be one way to get through the DC if you can't get out of going.

  The only thing in this world we have complete unquestionable control over is our own mind, and our own thoughts, and how we choose to frame (or think about) things.

  Don't go to the bathroom for two days then see if you can control your thoughts well enough to think of something else for an hour.

  Interesting, I went to several in the Kingdome and Tacoma dome. The bigger venues certainly make it seem like something important is going on. I wonder if anybody looked at traffic patterns in the area, I'm sure making it impassable will be a great witness to the citizens of Seattle.

  Any Amateur Astronomers Out There?

  i have recently revived my interest in the night sky.

  there are a lot of great sights you can identify with just a pair of binoculars.

  i am currently relearning how to navigate my way round all the constellations and find some of the best objects.. i live out in the country so we get almost total darkness right outside my front door.

  I had a four inch reflector as a kid, alas the mirror pitted over the years making it unusable. We're thinking of buying another telescope of some sort. I noticed last night that the moon will pass very close to Jupiter tonight, they'll be right overhead approaching midnight.

  I hear you about about relearning to navigate the night sky. I've forgotten almost everything I used to know. Being a city dweller doesn't help, when I was young we lived out in the country.
