  Why I Think Politics SHOULD Be Considered Here

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was looking at valis' thread and i agree that being insulting, provoking or rabid is out of order in any type of discussion.

  when people in general, anywhere, talk about religion or politics, it usually sets up sides.

  one of the things that jehovah's witnesses were not allowed to do ever, was to get involved in any type of political discussion.

  Has the Watchtower Society ever been correct?

  by Lewis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd really like to know if the wts has ever been correct ... in all honesty.

  i don't mean subjective, fuzzy dogma that has no empirical basis ... i mean stuff like 1914 and the original idea that it would be end of the world; millions now living will never die; 1975; the generation will not pass away ... ad infinitum.

  i have no axe to grind ... i'd really like to know.

  Indeed they have. "Religion Is A Snare And A Racket"

  Favorite Coffee

  by Satanus in

  2. friends

  my favorite coffee is starbucks house blend decaf and starbucks columbian.

  i mix those two together equally, and make it really strong, like expresso.

  i boil one large cup of water, dump in 4 heaping teaspoons of expresso grind, then pour it through a strainer.

  Why I May Vote for Kerry

  by roybatty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a registered republican but i have to admit that after looking at john kerry's web site, i may have to sway my vote his way.

  what caught my eye is kerry's attention toward jobs leaving for overseas countries and how the government can at least stop encouraging (and rewarding)large corporations from doing this.

  at bush's site, i don't see anything about this huge problem facing america.

  ...and, as if you didn't need another reason to vote for Kerry - go see "Fahrenheit 9/11"

  Elder tells me that Governing Body moved to Walkill to escape terrorism

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to an elder the other day, and he told me that the governing body had all moved to walkill to because jehovah wouldn't let them be destroyed.. but, i thought, weren't some of the gb in walkill anyway?

  and if this is the case, why would they build that massive residential complex in the dumbo area?

  are bethelites expendable if a terrorist attack did happen?.

  Do you welcome change?

  by desib77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you welcome change or do you dread it?

  do your fears of change ever hinder you for pursuing things that could better your life?.

  the thought of big changes always scares me and i see myself avoiding things that would be a change even if it is possible that it will make my life better.

  cocktails/mixing drinks

  by baysixforme in

  2. friends

  i went to a bbq the other night and had a couple of glasses of white wine before being offered a white rum with black pepper.

  i knocked back two of those...not particularly large ones either and that was it...i was somewhere else!.

  the good part about it was that i was with some good friends who were able to take care of me....the bad part was that i could hardly remember anything the next day.

  I can't find any specific recipes for Haitian rum & pepper. I would think that the capsaicin (the stuff that makes all hot peppers hot) would have the same effect as when you eat it in food - it makes your blood vessels expand, and the "heat" is dissipated when you sweat. Was it a bad feeling?
