Ya couldn't have pulled a pin out of my ass with a bulldozer.
I was going to tell you exactly how to do it, but now that you've planted that mental image in my mind, you can damn well figure it out yourself.
how do i load a 20" floor buffer in the back of my pick up alone without killing my back?
serious question.
i just bought a buffer to use in refinishing some oak floors.

my wife bought a little rubber toy that makes a sound when you squeeze it.
it sort of looks like a small puppy.
normally my little dog will play with these toys, bite them and make them squeel, throw them around the floor, but this one is different to her.
Our chihuahua developed a rather close physical relationship with a stuffed hippo, if you know what I mean. But, it ended when he got fixed.
you get to talking to folks, for the first time.
you here thier speech, watch how they carry themselves and before you know it, you think you've got an idea of the type person you're engaging with.........then bam!!!!
it hits you.
I find that from a distance, I can pick them out quite well. But, if I actually talk to one, I guarantee I can tell.
When a group is small, ingrown, and insulated, it develops unique and specialized phrasing. They think of it as the pure language, and take great pride in it. It is actually a telltale mark of a cult. A JW can smell an imposter a mile away, and so can we.
hang in there until the 2-3 min mark..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-a1vmz6y8&feature=related.
i laughed until my head split open.... ash.
That was freaking brilliant. I love the part where he reads the scripture from "Dear God" by XTC.
i had the sneaky suspicion the girl in the picture below was a dub.
she had never drank, smoked or watched a rated r movie.
she was married at a young age and just seemed too wholesome.
I didn't think she was a JW. JWs have nothing against drinking. Her husband doesn't drink either, so that sounds like its a restriction, not a choice. And she worked as a nanny - not as a janitor.
I loved Simon's comments about her husband and the internet. (Be up in a minute honey - just checking the "stock market").
i posted this on one of "aleman's" threads and i've posted a similar scenario in the past.
i re-read it an decided i really like it and wanted to share it with all of you:.
please think about this scenario and tell me what you think:.
And, don't forget that this parent has 10 children, and he has instructed every one of them to worship him differently.
Really, though, God's conceit is nicely explained by Homer Simpson, "Well, Ak, it's because God is powerful, but also insecure, like Barbara Streisand before James Brolin
the problem with atheism(this is an edited transcript of a talk given at the atheist alliance conference in washington d.c. on september 28th, 2007).
to begin, id like to take a moment to acknowledge just how strange it is that a meeting like this is even necessary.
the year is 2007, and we have all taken time out of our busy lives, and many of us have traveled considerable distance, so that we can strategize about how best to live in a world in which most people believe in an imaginary god.
who have I hung from a tree and what harm have I done anyone
Neither have most racists personally hung anyone from a tree. But, religious people have murdered and tortured countless persons in the propogation of their twisted ideas, probably even more than racists have ever done.
anyone able to give any insight on this scripture.
i havent read the entire bible yet, but working my way through it when i found this scripture.
the chapter describes how jacob / israel gathers all 12 of his sons and then in turn commands and blesses each one.. but vs 4 has me scratching my head.
I stand corrected. "Reuben's step-mom has got it goin on."

I believe the answer is found in Genesis 49:127, where it says, "Reuben's mom has got it goin on."
i counted up the deaths/ new partakers over the 71years 1936 to 2007.. i assumed 70 as the average lifespan, which means we can reasonably expect a decline of 1.43% each year.. those dead: 14 707 new partakers: 52 312. .
average deaths each year: 207. average new partakers each year: 737.. this gives a combined total of memorial partakers between 1936 - 2007 of 66 839. according to the witchtower of 1988 15/12 there were 27 006 partakers in 1936. smell anything yet?.
1: where those dying (3 figures) exceeded new partakers (2 or single figure) 16 years out of 71.. 2: at no point did the number of deaths in a year exceed 561.. 3: lowest number of deaths 122 in 2003. lowest number of new partakers 3 in 1988.. 4: highest deaths 561 in 1938. highest number of new partakers 10 677 in 1937.
Well, I hope this posts OK. I didn't update it for 2007 yet, but it doesn't really matter. It just keeps getting worse for them.
I should mention, that in order for this to work, I needed a minimum age. So, I assumed that to be appointed to the most important job in the universe, a person would need to be at least as old as Jesus was when he was baptized.
So, if the anointed were at least 30 years old in 1935, as of 2006, the number of anointed should be 64. That means that this group is 99.3% bogus.
