  its the middle of summer, i am trying to keep 3... 6 footers fed and can only serve steak or hamburgers so many nights.. its too hot to heat up the oven and i am running out of ideas.. any grill miesters out there willing to share your favorite recipe would be appreciated, including marinades, veggie side dishes etc.. many thanks in advance.

  (yes i know this isn't a cooking forum, but we all have to eat and thought it would be fun for everyone!).

  There's too many ways to do meats. But here are a couple of mine that get requested over and over(both very simple):

  • Jerked Shrimp. Peel jumbo sized shrimp down to the tail. Skewer several on either water soaked bamboo or steel skewers. Grill on direct heat for about 3 minutes each side. For the mix, use Walker's Wood jerk sauce(the thick paste type, not the liquid kind). Depending on the amount of shrimp you are cooking up, use about 5 parts butter to 1 part jerk sauce. Melt the butter in a cup and add in the jerk sauce. Stir well. As the shrimp are about done, brush the mix onto the shrimp coating both sides. Enjoy!
  • Grilled asparagus. Skewer several stalks of asparagus onto water soaked bamboo sticks. Grill over direct heat for around 3-4 minutes on each side. Prepare a mix of 4 parts soy sauce to 1 part sesame oil in a cup. As they are cooking, liberally brush soy sauce/sesame oil over the entire stalk. Once the cooking time is up, remove from heat and brush one last time so that they are slightly wet from the soy sauce mix. This way, when you sprinkle some sesame seeds over the stalks, it sticks to them. Yummy.

  • The fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun and I've got "Desert Eagle .50" written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking along with your presence. Now f**k off.

  Richie Rich's find of the elder handbook has handwritten notes saying that ones who have been molesters may be considered for positions (my paraphrase here) and their files DESTROYED. Where, I wonder, is a copy of the confidential elders letter that gave that directive to write such notes in the margin? Any elders out there with such a letter in their file? Or another confidential letter saying that certain previous confidential letters were to be destroyed?

  Any ex-elders correct me if I'm wrong, but this inclusion into the PA book was given under the verbal direction of the CO. I'll check the BoE letters and see if I find anything different.

  Nevermind, I found it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Californication

  It seems it started as a bumper sticker movement to stop the spread of Californians from moving into Oregon. Funny that it evolved into describing in general us CA antitypes.

  Way back when, I heard the term "Californication." This was probably around 18 years ago. It was always used to describe the CA brothers. I'm not sure when that term first appeared on the scene, but when I heard for the first time Red Hot Chili Pepper's rendition of this title, I immediately thought they ripped it off from the unspoken jw lingo.

  Does anyone know when that term first appeared?

  Do you think they will go to trial and comply with the discovery ruling and supply documents requested? If they comply with the discovery ruling, aren't they accepting it? In the big picture, what do they have to gain by going to trial?

  That's why if I were them, I would keep this damaging case localized and not let it spread any further. Sure, they just opened the door for Norris and Co to hit them with other suits, but in the meantime, what would stop them from shredding docs, issuing new light on correspondence, etc. Take the hit for a few cases. A few million is chump change for them. But fight each and every one of them. Just look at how many were tossed out in the past. This is the first one that finally bit them! Out of how many filed??

  There can only be a couple of outcomes for this trial. They can keep fighting it all the way up to the Supreme Court in Wash DC, or take the monetary hit on the trial and gag 'em.

  For Kimberly -- Is only the WT of PA listed in this suit? What would happen if the WT of PA filed for bankruptcy? Are the other WT corporations still culpable for WT of PA?

  I honestly cannot see the WTS taking this any higher up(Supreme Courts). If they do, they risk airing their dirty underwear even more. Let's face it, most witnesses will never hear of this case on its own. But the word(email) tends to get around in jw circles if a case goes before a Supreme Court. Can you imagine thousands of witnesses following a case such as this as closely as we do? I would be surprised to hear if they plan on filing yet another appeal.

  WT magazines in different territories

  by New Worldly Translation in

  when i was a jw i always had a question that i don't think i ever got to the bottom of.. it was do the jw's in different countries get different versions of the watchtower and awake magazines?.

  it always struck me that the magazines were always very america-centric and a lot of the issues addressed wouldn't be applicable to jw's overseas.

  living in the uk i found some of the articles to be extremely patronising and i could only imagine what an african or russian jw reading them would be thinking.. there were articles about conserving money by only taking one holiday a year or only having one car in the family.
