old habits die hard...and quite often in my comments i will refer to the borg as the 'truth'.
does anyone know of any other churches that refer to their own particular church or religion as the 'truth'??
also, does anyone know how it originated...all my life i have used the term...comments like 'how long have u been in the truth?
Never trust any group that calls itself "Truth." Remember the Russian newspaper Pravda? How it would put forth the official party line and was never taken seriously as a source of truth by anyone who knew what was going on?
"Pravda" means "truth."
Any time a group says "we have The Truth" or "this newspaper is Truth", know that you are being fed a bunch of lies. Truth stands out without being labeled. If you feel the need to label it, you must not think much of its merits.
come on boys, tell me what is your fascination with clevage?
do you dream of big breasts?
does the cup size really matter?
the bigger the breasts, the more feminine the woman seems to be
Funny, I've always felt the exact opposite. To me, women with large breasts arent' feminine looking. Unless they are overweight in general, they just look fake, and there is nothing feminine about engineering a new body. I prefer the natural look which, more often than not, means small breasts. To me, that's feminine, not some huge things.

What makes you think the 21st century will be any different?
twice in the past week, from two different posters, i have been called an "asshole.
" in both cases, the person made an assumption about me based on something that was said in a thread.
in both cases, i responded by saying i disagreed with their characterization and explained why.
Tally,
You're right, I shouldn't have said:
But I should have realized that Tallyman's hatred of Brooklyn Bethel wouldn't like it if I didn't agree with him about Bethel being blown to smithereens.That is ambiguous and not accurate. Would this be more accurate?:
But I should have realized that Tallyman's hatred of The Killer Kult wouldn't like it if I didn't agree with him about The Killer Kult being blown to smithereens (but not the individual JWs, who he hopes get their eyes opened.

Tally,
I already responded to the exact same message in the original thread.
october bulletin said terrorists .
thought to have 10 kiloton nuclear weapon .
to be smuggled into new york city.
but I sure wouldn't call the government officials among that group:
"You Know types".
Neither would I, nor did I do so. Another wrong assumption on your part.
Whoa! couldn't fooled me.You Know and those who read his stuff and worry about it. As I already told you.
WHO was it that you were responding to, if not me?
If the report you quoted was accurate, and yes it's all just speculation, but I'm going based on what was actually in the report you quoted, Bethel would not be knocked down unless the bomb is set off right next to it in the East river. Certainly a possibility, but that's how close it would have to be to make it "flattened."
The radiation damage would affect Bethel no matter where the bomb was dropped in and around Manhattan, so it would be an awful thing to have happen, as I have said every time. Your point, Tally, was valid that there is a danger of this happening and it would be horrible if it does. I should have first acknowledged this before making my point to those who follow You Know's rants.
You may not read You Know's threads, but they are usually among the most read threads here. Some newer ones may not know You Know's history and may think he knows what he's talking about. He has repeatedly talked about this subject, and implied things that just aren't so. I took the opportunity to show how a real report on the subject (not a You Know rant) is more realistic about the extent of the damage. I was hoping to not only reassure readers who worry You Know may be right, but also to again show how he doesn't know what he is talking about.
So I'm sorry I didn't make my intentions clearer and thereby made it seem to you I was attacking you. Although you and I seem to disagree about the likelihood of Brooklyn Bethel being flattened by such a blast, that isn't my main point, and I'm willing to disagree with you without being disagreeable.

It's cool.
My point is that there is a time and a place to call someone a name. That wasn't it, even if my motive were as bad as he thought it was. The polite thing to do is ask me about it, find out my side. But Tallyman has it in for me, and I have no idea why. He has ragged on me for a while now, for some reason. I clearly have pissed him off in the past. Not sure how.
But it's important to remember something: This thread was primarily NOT about Tallyman. I specifically exempted him because it had just happened and he might not have had time to respond to what I said. No, this thread was specifically about another case involving someone who called me a name based on what someone else said to me, not what I said, and did this several days ago and never apologized for his irrational attack.

Thank you for respecting my wishes.

sf,
I am not actually looking for a woman at this time, but was answering theoretically for when I will look. I know what I like in a woman, and was answering the questions based on how I feel. What my future holds I have no idea. I need some time to myself to heal from some events in my life that have taken their emotional toll on me. But as you also feel, I prefer not to discuss details about my personal life in public, and so would respectfully rather not get into the details here.

So, why even say what you did?
When I get in trouble around here, it is contributed by my habit of speaking in abbreviations. Instead of spelling things out in detail, I jump to the point and move on.
Why did I say what I did? I explained it, I was taking an opportunity to set the record straight when You Know had muddied the waters many times. I said in my previous response to you in this thread that I should have first acknowledged what Tallyman was saying, and then made my point. But I was abbreviating. I only mentioned "You Know" once? Sure, and that was once more than anyone else.
Now, I also disagreed that Bethel would get knocked over, so in that I disagreed with Tally. But later in that thread I acknowledged that Bethel could get knocked over if terrorists chose to set such a bomb off in a different location than their past attempts. Tally could well be right.
What about radiation damage, which would of course affect Bethel no matter what? Again, I was abbreviating. I said a blast would be 'terrible' and 'awful' and when I said that I was including the affects of radiation damage in those words. I just didn't spell it out.
My motives were sincere, I was making what I felt was an important point that no one else was making, and that would be educational and reassuring to lurkers who might worry about such things. NYC would not disappear. If I wasn't as clear as I could have been had I not abbreviated my intentions, I acknowledge that now.
None of which deserves to have me called an asshole. A polite person would have done what you did, find out what I meant, and thus would have seen that we are all on the same side but just emphasizing different aspects of the facts.
