One thing I might try if I had that kind of loot would be to offer to buy my parents a new home, car, and give them a generous living allowence if they both turn in letters of disassociation...Money talks. Another thing I thought about would be to try and buy as many parcels of land situated next door to kingdom halls and open a chain of strip joints.

So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?
by Mary inok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.
if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?
other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

One day I was over at an elder's house and we were having lunch. He had some elder freinds over and they were drinking whiskey early in the day. I was his employee at the time. I worked in the basement of the building he owned repairing vacuum cleaners for him. I took out some trash and found an empty case of beer with a receipt dated for that day. Later I went upstairs to his kitchen (he ran a buisness and lived in the same building) to get a soft drink from the refridgerator. There was no beer in there. I think they drank an entire case of beer during my work day. I thought it was strange for them to be heavy drinkers since he was an elder. He also used to play video games on his computer that were full of magic and witchcraft. I remember him being the one to give a talk at the hall about how bad video games like that were. He is a hypocrite to be sure...

People from the south are the ones that are normal. The yankees (northerners) are out of their minds...I went to Wisconsin once and ordered a bowl of grits in a restaurant and they had no idea what I was talking about..

Songs that are atmospheric
by FlyingHighNow inthis is a song thread that will take a little thought.
i'd like for you to share songs that sound atmospheric and conjure up feelings of night air or a smokey room, the energy of the ocean's roar or capture the joy of a party or celebration.
the songs can be transportive and take you other places by their sound and the visuals they evoke from the stories they tell.. my first one is from tim mcgraw.

IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
by still thinking inthis is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.

Timebandit ....gosh man, thats a lot of anger at something you don't think is real.....
I don't really carry a lot of anger around. I guess I have passionate feelings about God if there is one. No devine purpose should include the unspeakable things done by/commanded to do by 'God'. Usually the only time I even think about it is when I see treads about it on forums. I don't mind if people think I'm mistaken concerning my views about 'God'. It's a free country (maybe not). What I beleive makes me happy and that's all that matters.

You know what? I wanted to beleive in God after leaving the bOrG. I wanted to be a spiritual person. Well, I got to thinking about all the nasty killing he did in the Old Testament. After that I didn't want anything to do with Him any more. C'mon, would you worship Adolf Hitler, Jeffry Dahmer or the Boston strangler?
Well, that's what God is like, those people. I sort of felt since He's the High and Mighty Supreme End All Be All of the Universe He ought to be able to come up with a better way of dealing with His enemies in the 'promised land' than having the Isrealite's slaughter them. Or kidnapping the virgins left over after the mayhem, raping them and forcing them to marry thier rapists.
I know that sounds harsh. It should. The 'God" of the Hebrew scriptures is a jealouse narccesistic murdering Borderline Personality Disorder son of a bitch...
So, that's why I feel that either there IS NO god. Or is he there, but just really twisted and on vacation right now? I can't decide between the two scenarios. Maybe Jehovah's parents discovered he was f_cking around with his powers without adult supervision and sent him to his room. What if He's grounded? No lunch money? Nothing?
He needs anti psychotic meds and some bi-polar disorder meds, or maybe go back to the ganja like when he designed the Duck Bill Platypussies. Didn't he create the 'shrooms and the Hemp plants? To hell with Him.

Just say anything...
by TimeBandit ini agree with a fellow who said "bigfoot is blurry.
that's why in all the pictures you see of him you can't make him out.
there's nothing scarier than the thought of a huge, out of focus monster running around in the woods!

I was thinking that it would be kinda' awesome if they made breast implants out of Tempur-Pedic material. I think the stoned husbands/boyfriends would be fascinated for hours...
