poor old ray!.
you may recall me posting about ray's troubles with lucy, his jw wife.
lucy recently accused ray of feeding her poisoned sausages, with the result that ray was visited by the police.
Tell Ray to buy & study Randy's study companion for the Knowledge book. When he is ready he should ask her for a study, but on condition that it is with her only. If she doesn't die immediately from shock he might save his wife from the Borganisation. Otherwise call the men in white coats.
Good luck Rayman.

i have been trying to find a wt quote but all has failed and so i turn to this discussion board for help.
i am beginning to wonder if i imagined it in one of my wierd dreams.
i cannot give it exactly, but it went something like this.... (following discussion of "worldly" bombs that kill good and bad alike)... if only a bomb could be constructed that only destroyed the unrighteous.... ps - hello sirona.
Hi Anglise,
Yes indeed after the TV program. The name was given to me at school for the various comic characters I played - i.e. every time I changed my hat I changed character, like Mr Ben.
Well, you did say you were nosey.
gambler brought up an interesting point earlier re an english couple getting snotty because someone asked them if they were from australia.. it's a fact that guessing at someones accent is a risky business, especially if you get it wrong.
i had a canadian friend who was always being mistaken for an american, and boy did he ever get pissy about it.. same with new zealanders, i don't mix 'em up with aussie's because i have kiwi pals and am tuned into to the softer intonations.
my wife has a swiss friend who hates being mistaken for being from germany or austria and makes no bones about letting you know it.. i used to laugh at what i considered to be over-sensitivity, until someone suggested that i came from yorkshire.
Celtic,
I promise I will try & not worry too much. Do you believe the land belongs to the Queen? To whom does Wales belong? Prince Charmless? I am not espousing a French Revolution-type slaughter here, but handing the land over to the Govt. is a good start. I'm glad you mentioned it!
I'm also glad you love Cornwall. Someone needs to.
did you know that our dna is 96% identical to that of our nearest primates?.
does this mean god created monkeys 96% in his image?.
but seriously, this has a lot to say about evolution.... why would god create us based on the genes of monkeys, especially if, as the witnesses declare, we were designed to live forever and monkeys were not?.
Dr Doolittle I presume.

I know some parrots that speak English, but I know of no Englishmen that speak parrot.
(I wish the Monty Python team were here)
I hope this doesn't get too serious!!!!

Variations in culture and language, like different foods, make the world a more interesting place to live! But unless we stop falling out over these superficial differences and remember that we are all Homo Sapiens Sapiens and should be working together to overcome the petty prejudices that divide us, and start attacking our REAL enemies (AKA Cholera, Hepatitis, TB etc) then we will go the way of the Dodo.
Celtic Cornishman and Englishman: When the "true" English asked the AS over to help fight their wars they rewarded the AS with Kent. But Kent wasn't enough. The "true" English were driven over the hills into the valleys and were pejoratively dubbed "welsh" - which was an insult because it meant "foreigner" i.e. they were now foreigners in their own country.
We are all related. The last true "other" amongst us were the Neanderthal people, whom we either killed off or out-competed. There are no races of mankind - we are all one. We just don't believe it and so we fight and argue and get upset over being English and not British, or Cornish and not English etc.
I was born on Earth. Where were you born? Or are you all aliens, or what?

Understood. I think I know the thread you're trying to make now.
I remember a phrase from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which said something like:
Humans think they are better than dolphins because humans have created cities, automobiles and nuclear bombs. Whereas all dolphins ever do is splash around in the water having fun.
Dolphins think they are better than humans for exactly the same reason.
I agree. If I am a very good boy in my next life I get to be a dolphin. Hurray!

It is 98% and we did not evolve from monkeys. Apes and Man evolved from a common ancestor. Go a little further back and monkeys, apes and Man all had another common ancestor. There are gaps in the various theories, but the evidence is as compelling as the theory that the earth is round(ish). You don't have to believe either, if you don't want to (just don't sail too close to the edge).

Blondie,
I could kiss you! I think I will. X! Thanks!
Now, what did the WT say about those evil terrorist that killed thousands of innocent people using planes as bombs - if only the WTS ruled the world things like THAT would never happen... would they?

PS - Hello Sirona. I've met you before I believe. Can't remember where, though. Maybe in Manchester or Cambridge or at one of Bertram's cheese & wine parties. Let me know how you discovered the truth about the "truth".
