the news today was chock full of stuff about pedophilia in the catholic church.
it's all coming out of the closet for them now.. maybe it won't be long for wbts?
Sorry skally, but I do not read every thread here. I figured more then one or two subjects emailing him regarding the JW's would do the trick, especially now since he's been dealing with the catholic mess. BTW, I wonder if anyone can obtain how long it has been taking people to put that news story together.
I don't go into chat. I was constantly on yahoo chat all the time. After feeling like spinning my wheels in chat rooms, I would rather post some psudeo-intelligent text.

I agree.. I think we should do some mass e-mailings to Bill O'Reilly about the subject with the JW's. He's a definite mover and shaker.

i was wondering how many in here, after leaving the borg owns a hand gun for protection or learned the martials arts ?

Yep.. own several..
Favorite is my Taurus 38 special five shot. Great revolver. Then secondly, my Glock .40 cal. Let's see.. also like the feel of my shotgun...great power trip when you shoot it. Then like my 9mm rifle.. and my hubbies .45 cal... well , you get the pic.

i always need a pen in my hand when i'm working - i jot things down and do a lot of scribbling (i'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with my doodles).. over the last few weeks though all my pens have been disappearing.
i blamed angharad who had borrowed them and not put them back, she thought it must be the kids who wanted to draw with them (they've discovered a great paper supply which i like to call 'the printer') but they said they hadn't.. this morning, the culprit was discovered .... i put my pen down on the desk and up popped one of the cats, picked it up in it's mouth and calmly walked off with it.
we followed it and found a stash of them behind a kitchen cabinet along with a good selection of the kids stickle bricks.. now, i just need to teach it to bring them back!
My cat Frank, loves to eat my shoelaces. Not just the end, mind you, but loves to eat it right at the knot. So when I go to slip the shoes on the laces become unraveled. I know that if I lost a screw, (okay.. you know what I mean), I can always look in the cat food dish. That's where he usually stashes those and the bread twist ties.

ive not been so angry for a long time.. the watchtower article entitled jehovah hates the course of treachery in the may 1st 2002 issue is a masterpiece of bullshit.
there are so many points in it i feel that i should make more than one thread.. in this thread i will deal with the issue of marriage discussed from paragraph 13 onwards.
paragraph 15 warns against marrying an unbeliever and confirms the societys view that only jehovahs witnesses will survive armageddon, so why bother marrying someone who will die soon?.
Unfortunately they don't mention the Promise Keepers "movement"... Yeah, where men who are attempting their best to be christian promise to love their wives according to the scriptures. Geez.. I'd love to be at one of their mandatory indoctrinational sessions when they review this article. Then maybe I can stand up and tell them about my parents marriage...how they are currently seperated and still hold privledges.

it opened yesterday at alton towers.

englishman.
Holy Hell No...
There would be NO WAY someone could get me on that thing.

treachery.
simple definition = "betrayal of trust".
the may 1st 2002 wt has an article entitled "jehovah hates the course of treachery".
I agree with you Francis..
I will also add that not only does it attract the "psycoemotional" people with problems, but it also raises the children in such manner. Those are the true innocents.

i remember when i was a kid i used to assuage my fear of dying with the comfort and knoweledge that i was one of the "millions now living that may never die.
" but even as a kid, i used to think to myself that after a thousand or so years of living with these boring people that i see at the kingdom hall, that sooner or later i would become bored as hell.
after all, everything really fun seemed to be a sin and after a thousand years of bowling with my fellow witnesses and groveling on my knees thanking jehovah for every breath that i took, wouldn't i get bored at some point?
(We once had a CO that simply assumed after a certain point humans would just stop having sex - no need to reproduce, and since that was the only god-approved reason for sex, our 'sex drive' would just be turned off - we'd be 'as the angels' were - living only to praise god day and night - and he actually seemed to ENJOY the thought!!!)

funny how things can change:.
cannabis is given health all clear.
by david taylor home affairs correspondent .
Thi Chi--
Very interesting points.. my head is just spinning with spin:
I must disagree.Fine. You can disagree all you would like. First, in my statement I was giving personal experience. How you can argue that is beyond me.
The per sei limit federally for every state is .08 . This study would need to be reviewed since there has been scientific evidence presented since 1970 to lower the b.a.c. to the current .08 enacted. Obviously the scientific evidence would have to show the affects of alcohol/intoxicants on the human body. In fact, you can be declared "less safe" to drive at .06. Therefore, the studies would need to be adjusted accordingly if they are basing it on a .15 or .10 standard.
Cannabis does not impair driving performance as much as alcoholI never said it didn't. But it still impairs. That was the point.
Obviously, you have clarified the distinction between the two types of forfiture. To break it down to layman's terms.. the criminal forfiture occurs to secure evidence of a crime. Obviously this is governed by the constituion under the fourth. In fact, this is NECCESSARY to protect the citizens in obtaining convictions for public offenders.
You know as well as I do that the fourth amendment covers the qualifications for a warrantless seizure of person or property. Your arguement seems to lie with the US Constitution. Of all the cases you have "quoted" (and I don't doubt you got these quotes from your latest copy of High Times, (only kidding), are governmental agencies that have acted outside of the Constitution guidelines set out by the fourth. I'm sure that punitive actions have been taken against these agencies where the person was wronged. And well deserved.
Never at anytime do I claim this system is fair. But at no point am I going to sit back and listen to the spin spewed forth here that sounds like there are no victims in an individual's choice to use marijuana.
Please post who you copied this from ---
Law enforcement agencies should be required to publish an explanation each time they seize and retain private property.BTW, we already do.. those are the nice little cars and trucks seized by agencies that say "THIS CAR SEIZED FROM A DRUG DEALER - D.A.R.E."
