  we had an elder that was hung up on mens haircuts he had a real thing about how short mens hair should be and even told one bro off for parting his hair down the middle.. even told one bro to shave off his sideburns.. a c.o who was paronoid about sound always telling the bro in charge off.. .

  a d.o who orded the attendants to remove crying babys from assemblys on more than a few occations...hans hubler for those that know him..

  When I lived in the south, all the elders had an issue with beards on the platform... any kind was completely unacceptable. If you wanted a beard, fine - but it was microphone duty for the rest of your life. A mustache was OK, but it was viewed in much the same way as marijuana is in relation toward other drugs (a "gateway" drug). A mustache was a "gateway" facial hair sin, but not enough to viewed as putting the person into an all out spirtual darkness.

  One CO had a little issue with people saying "Jeez louise"... not sure why. "Jeez" was OK, but tack "louise" on it, and suddenly it became vugar to him.

  this is an interesting presentation.

  robert h. lustig, md, ucsf professor of pediatrics in the division of endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods.

  he argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin.. .

  @leavingwt:

  Have you seen "Fat Head"? It is a follow up to "Supersize Me" ... but whereas Supersize Me was based around "fast-food-is-bad", Fat Head argues almost the same thing as what this doctor is saying - that it's not the fat, its the sugar. It was on Netflix a while back, but I don't think there is a free version on the internet.

  Here is the link to the trailer, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgBLQIJEcbE

  Are you sick of conspiracy nuts?.....9/11

  yes apparently the staff at the twin towers on 9/11 didn't notice the explosives strapped to all the beams on each floor......of course a plane fully loaded with jet fuel going so fast it nearly flew through the building {blew out the otherside} would not be enough to cause a collapse.

  the building were glowing red!

  people jumped due to the heat and smoke.

  PS: It means that I found bohm's comment amusing prior to taking the precious time out of my life to debunk your load of bull shit. It doesn't mean I've dismissed your post, it means that I had not read at the time of posting. AGAIN, you seem to have a big problem with reading comprehension, and you seem to have a big problem with your logic. I read the entire cut/paste - even though you add no material of your own (except the one sentence at the top, and perhaps the "NEXT!" at the bottom).

  People respond to you as if you are a retard because post stuff that turns out to be just garbage after closer inspection.

  Mineta: "I'm not sure that the aircraft that were scrambled to come up to the D.C. area...were under orders to shoot the airplane down..."

  Mineta ultimately expressed the obvious, that the standing order was an open question only Cheney could answer.

  Riiight, I see. This is just seeking to find some sort of foundation for claiming that the standing order had nothing to do with shooting down commerical planes, rather it was an order from the inside job - the order to fly the plane into the Pentagon!

  So Mineta says that *he* wasn't sure the planes flying toward DC were under the orders to shoot down the commercial planes? So what? HE IS JUST STATING THAT HE WAS NOT PRIVY THE THE SPECIFIC ORDERS OF THE THOSE FIGHTERS. That doesn't translate into "Cheney was holding the order to crash a plane into the Pentagon". It's a non-sequitur - another way of saying, you are not making any sort of logical sense, and either is that site you cut/paste from.

  Most obvious is, if the standing order given by the Vice President prior to the aircraft hitting the Pentagon was not a shoot down order, then what was it?

  That is a GIANTIC "IF" there. Of course, IF the standing order was not shoot down commerical planes, then the standing order wasn't to shoot down the commercial planes. DUH! But on what basis, other than being an idiot, do you have for believing that? N--O--T--H--I--N--G except a logical fallacy.

  I have not read through half of PS' garbage, but this was a really great response from bohm:

  "PSON: Energy is not measured in testicles."

  LOL!

  @PS:

  Go back and listen to all of the testimony by Norman Mineta. Vice Chairman, Lee Hamilton, asks him about the order the President had given to shoot down planes that had been hijacked. They were tracking the plane coming into the Pentagon, and the young man coming in was asking if that order still stands (to shoot the plane down), and Cheney replied that it did. The orders couldn't be executed because the scrambled jets were still "10 minutes away" (as Normal stated in the video!!) when the plan hit the Pentagon.

  You see people, we "truthers" (lol) only need to prove foreknowledge in one single instance. You debunkers need to debunk foreknowledge in DOZENS of situations.

  That about sums it up. You have to come up with at least one instance of credible evidence. And you fail again and again because the "debunkers" are there to point out your logical mistakes, your misquotes (or in this case just hearing what you want to hear), and contradictory theories. And yes, we have to do it DOZENS of times because you keep coming up with stupid shit.

  "i've got a funny feeling about this place! think it might be demon posscessed!"

  did you ever encounter jw's who claimed to be able to "sense" when somthing "dodgy" read demon posscessed was in the room?.

  i've got several jw relatives who reckon that jehovah protects them by allowing them to sense this... "i always had a funny feeling about that lump of coral!".

  iteams they have thrown out ( and in one case also run over several times with a bicycle just in case there was any residual demons left in it) are :.

  I've had that feeling before too. It was very strange and eerie. I was quite scared. However, in the end, it turned out to be a bad taco.

  How do you know when the Governing Body speaks for itself, and when it is supposed to speak for Jehovah?

  by dgp in

  in the catholic church, the pope is considered "infallible" when he speaks ex cathedra.

  that is to say, he is not infallible when he speaks about things that don't have to do with religion.

  for example, he may say whatever he pleases about economics, but no one will hold that catholic economists will have sinned against god if they consider that the pope is wrong.. the important point here is that the pope is thought to be infallible only when he speaks about matters strictly related to the church.. the wikipedia has this:.

  Dear THE GLADIATOR,

  Thank you for your response to my post. I am indeed interested in turning up the heat, so-to-speak. In fact, just the other night, I went down into the basement and turned up the temperature on the hot water heater to its highest setting. I thought it would be great to take a really warm bath. However, this turned out to be a bad idea, as my wife went into the shower before I had a chance to tell her. I forgot that the previous owner of our house had his own pressure washing business, and he filled his water tank each day from the hot water heater. Consequently, he had an industrial hot water heater installed with a line directly from the hot water heater to the garage. Needless to say, turning up the heat to full was a bit too much, and my wife seemed to have sustained some fairly serious burns. Of course, I just blamed it on a water heater malfunction. Still, upon leaving the shower, she called me a "fucking idiot". I don't know if she did that for kicks, or if she saw through my story.

  I researched Colman's. Looks like it was founded in 1814 by a man named Jeremiah. However, the articles that I read indicated that he was not mean.

  I look forward to your next post or any suggestions you might have for turning up the heat.

  Thanks,

  MeanMrMustard

  I believe the answer is, according to the GB, they always speak for God sometimes.
