i think immigration should check his papers, but i'll be darned if i can figure out what country he'd be deported to.

why would the makers of this dvd use such a ridiculous accent?.

by cedars in

" - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.

I am just curious, who was this "professionals", who make such a crap?

Probably, Society got some ex-multimedia workers, who wrote this "animation" on a Mac studio...

But... each Pixar low-budget 1-minut cartoon are 10o times better!!!

Espcially in my country (Russia) elders can "punish" young sister for such looking!

(I heard that in Sweden they have a ministerial servants with coloured hair (!!!) and sisters on a disrtict conventions wear like almost naked...

But here bro and sis should look like like a clerks or nunes))

What about your country?

A missing husband or wife.

by thomyorke in

do you remember, in which "reader's question" was an article about cases, when a husband officially declared as a missing?.

(probably he is dead or captured by somali pirates...).

i remember, that article was very strange- there was stated that it would be possible to make a divorce.... but if such missed person will "ressurect", this couple must get married again!.

thomyorke

-So, if my husband went missing, and after seven years I remarried, and then my missing hubby showed up.... I'd have to annul my current marriage?-

Yes, that is Society's opinion (from early 1960)...

But i can't find that article((

_______________________________________________________________________

"Friends can not be much. This is purely my personal opinion.

But I know some who can share such point of view.

After all, we both have just one heart, and we can not tear it up into several "friends".

My heart is full, friendly, and always belongs to Irina.

My closest friend, the only one.

Externally, we do not too similar. And this is evident.

We had different education, our personal life is different,

as well as work activity.

I would even say that we are on different social levels of society.

But it doesn't bother us at all.

After all, the friendship is no place for stereotypes.

By the way, our friendship are last for 30 years.

It is several months younger Irina

Only 10 years ago, we began to notice that we are very similar in some aspects.

And, laughing, we begin to look more carefully at each other.

And found we are very similar internally.

You could even say that we are "spiritual twins."

We have the same hobby. We are crazy about the reading books.

I mean, we love to read. We can buy a book in any place.

We call each other "book maniac."Together we can go into "binge of a reading."

This interest had made us closer.

We always have something to discuss, and speculate about anything, share our opinion.

We have the same food preferences.

We do not using a diet, and don't like somehow make a prohibition for ourselves.

We doing what we like. We do everything our heart desires.

But, of course, respecting the limits of the law and decency.

Our tastes in music are similar.

We were attracted by the same exhibitions and performances, and we visited it.

Our characters are similar.

We both are well educated, kind, polite and positive in life.

Pessimism "kills" us. We are both moderately sociable.

We avoid some noisy companies, and prefer a quiet and peaceful dialogue with the book.

We think we a strong persons, but, in practice, we could get hurt by somebody

We do not like rudeness and arrogance. Most often we could not make a revenge.

We are not greedy, but parsimonious. We understand the humor, but not all.

We are not indifferent, and can sympathize, but rarely can provide real help.

We love to give gifts while expecting to recieve something sweet in return.

We have shown perseverance to achieve the goals

But sometimes, we become stubborn, like a rams, capricious just like children,

and too selfish in our intentions.

We rarely recognize and admit our mistakes,

even more rarely asking for forgiveness and forgive people.

Sometimes it can be difficult together.

It's just a temporary difficulties, but we can overcome it, easy or not.

Our friendship has been tested by time.

And not only by a time. We've been through a lot, for thirty years, and pricks of jealousy,

misunderstanding and hours of alienation, minutes of envy, seconds of embarrassment,

milliseconds of shame, moments of pride for each other,

bitter quarrels and tears of joy of reconciliation.

And fate has kept us from betrayal.

Irina is kind of person with whom is nice to remain silent

Sometimes we don't need any words to understand each other.

Just looked in friend's eyes and everything becomes clear.

Sometimes, I get the feeling that we share one pair of eyes for our sight,

hearing the world by one pair of ears, and having one heart to feel and understand.

Very often I am thankful to our destiny for giving me a chance to find out

and understand what friendship is, what it means to be a friend.

And I hope that our friendship will leave this world only with us."

Jehovah's Witness Radio/TV Station?

by ilikecheese in

jw
friends

in terms of christian ministries, radio and tv stations/shows are such an effective tool.

i've worked in christian media, and i can see the impact that it has on people.

if you have a pastor who knows their stuff, is crazy passionate about it, and is a little less loony and more empathetic, they can really get a lot of people interested.

thomyorke

In the past they had their own WBBR radiostation...
