  NOPE SOUND THE ALL CLEAR. it was different weirdoes

  .....
  QUEZON CITY, Philippines (AP) - Fire swept through a six-story
  hotel in a Manila suburb before dawn Saturday, killing at least 68
  people, firefighters said.

  Many of the dead were packed into hotel bathrooms after apparently
  trying to escape the flames and smoke at the Manor Hotel in Quezon
  City, they said.

  The fire broke out at about 4:15 a.m. and was extinguished 3 1/2 hours
  later.

  Firefighter Nivart Ulayo said when he arrived screaming men, women
  and children were trapped in their rooms by metal bars on the windows
  - a common anti-burglar feature in Manila.

  Firefighters said they recovered 56 bodies in an initial foray into the
  hotel, then another 12 and were still searching more rooms.

  The bodies were placed outside the building. Many of them, apparently
  those of Filipinos, showed no signs of injury from flames. Firefighters
  said they appeared to have died from suffocation.

  Eugene Schwebler, a 60-year-old hotel guest from Wisconsin who
  escaped the blaze, said a contingent from the missionary group
  Missionary Evangelists Philippines-World were staying at the hotel for a
  convention.

  ``There were 160 people in our group,'' he said. ``I don't know how
  many came out. The lights went out and we heard people screaming.''

  Schwebler said he tried to leave through the corridor but the heat turned
  him back to his room. He said he then pulled the air conditioner out of
  the wall to give him access to the fire escape.

  Schwebler said he thought the fire started in a restaurant on the third
  floor.

  Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte said the first two floors of the
  hotel were used as offices. But he said firefighters were unable to
  immediately search one floor of hotel rooms for bodies because the fire
  badly weakened the structure.

  Belmonte said the city had previously warned the hotel of inadequate
  fire safety.

  An unidentified woman interviewed by DZMM radio said she was
  trapped in her third-floor room by metal bars on the window but
  firefighters using a ladder cut the bars from outside to extract her.

  The fire was the deadliest in the Philippines since the Ozone Disco Pub
  inferno of March 19, 1996, which killed 162 people in a night club
  packed with more than 350 people, which had no fire exits.

  Life On Other Planets

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society has taken stabs at it in the past only to double-talk the issue to death and insert their own prograndized spin on it.

  i remember one article encouraged peeps to not look for life on other planets, but instead try to draw close to extra-terrestrials that want to draw close to us (jehovah, jesus, faithful angels) or either imply at the end of one publication that jehovah has a purpose for the universe but that the earth will always be special because this is where his name/right to rule was vindicated.

  btw, hit up www.space.com.

  back on the old h20, i posted a thread called,

  GODS AN ALIAN!

  if you try to imagine an alian visiting us, you see a vastly more
  advanced creature that would be able to amaze us with its knowledge, and power.

  now try to inagine the bible accounts of "alian" contact.

  that big chariot in isiah= spaceship.

  miricles= superior technology.

  following a star! pleeeease.

  if you were a superior being trying to talk to inferior creatures
  may be as difficult as us communicating with ants or bees.

  instead we try to learn thier language, and speak to them.

  perhaps the bible is a crude attempt to contact us, and jesus
  is really a mediator between us and a bigger being.

  just my two cents.

  josephus

  of course alians exist they wrote the bible.

  ok, favorite/most despised cars thread.. i'm a mechanic (undercar) in the states, and american mechanics for the most part really don't like most european cars.

  the words saab, renault, and peugot will send most mechanics on an early lunch break that may last into next week or until the car leaves the shop.. a swedish person once joked about skoda cars to me in a chat room.

  what do you call a skoda with twin pipes (dual exhaust)?

  Its a Coca Cola crate.

  and ill be cleaning windows with it this morning!

  i am not trying to be rude its just that constant headbanging over the jws gets on my nerve (singular).

  insulting people seems to me like a bad way to get a message across, and maybe more jws would leave if they

  could just get facts.

  it allso pisses me off when people try to damage others faith with no suggestion for an alternative.

  anyway thanks.
