moscow upholds ban on jehovah's witnesses
by maria danilova.
associated press writer leader of russian jehovah's witnesses, vasily kalin, right, jehovah's witnesses' canadian lawyer john burns, center, and spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses christian presber, stand in front of the moscow city court, wednesday, june 16, 2004. a moscow court upheld a ban on the city's jehovah's witnesses, ending a six-year case that reflected growing pressure to stifle minority religious groups in russia, where orthodox christianity is predominant.
If they have a law that bans intollerant and hate spreading religions, then JWs do fall under this catagory. They are taught to hate the world and also to be intollerant of EVERYONE eles' religions.
Cheers to Russia to not allow this kind of behavior to be promoted and recognized as a state religion.
she is a woman with large boobs and is mature enough to make a decision about her sexuality.
and we don't have to feel guilty about lusting after her.
too bad she is married...
Who cares! She still has her teeth. She isn't mature enough anyways. She is just out of college. Give her a few decades of experience and she should be mature enough to make up her mind on sexuality.
Ok, that was a little too sarcastic

Never heard of a gummer? I guess I still have to wait, her husband is still in good health. He was sky diving on his 80th birthday....
Any other sexy mature women out there? I heard Mrs Doubtfire is single...

i had to drive about 600km (370 miles) to hamburg and back again yesterday on business.. for those of you that don't know, large parts of the german network of autobahns (freeways) have no speed limit.. of course, those who say german's don't have a sense of humour won't have though in detail about having a network of two-lane dual carriageways with no speed limit.
a very funny idea.. it was still a pretty good average speed (about 135km/h, 83mph) for the part of the journey in germany, and we , but as i got up to 220km/h (135mph) at various points and cruised over 160km/h (100mph) a lot, if they'd been a third lane it would have been a lot higher.
one side effect is once you are back down to normal highway speeds (120km/h) it feels like you're doing 50k/mh.
CHPs (chippies) will get you if you are speeding here too. Most of CA cities is hard to speed in due to traffic, but in Fresno we have pretty good roads and not a lot of traffic.
Right now they are cracking down on youth drivers, and seat-belt violations. Just trying to get people to drive safer. Most of our speed limits are 65-70, but you usually won't get pulled over for going up to 10 mph over the limit. As long as you are going along with traffic, they don't bother you.
because i love music so much, i wanted to start another thread on it.. what songs remind you of your ex?
the ones you have to turn off before you... a) cry your eyes out... b) get so angry you would like to curse out loud, or... d) you dont care, you like to be reminded of your past flings.. for me it would have to be anything from seal, or hootie and the blowfish, and anything jazz.
i dont a,b, or c, but i do get annoyed and dont like to be reminded so i switch the station.. anyone else?
I'm dead inside so hearing music doesn't really have a powerful emotional effect on me. Fast music gets me in an excited state, and slow music has the opposite effect. My ex's don't make me cry so the songs that remind me of them don't either.
taking a leaf out of the book from the road protest camps and other campaingning groups against this and that which i have been involved with, it occured to me the other day perhaps one of the most effective means of stopping the wt in it's tracks is to halt the litureture distribution system they employ, i.e.
in the uk setting up a protest camp right outside their bittacy hill complex, to actually stop the trucks from entering onto the roadway, if no one is up for that, how about tipping bagfuls of sugar in their lorry deisel tanks?
any other ideas?
If there is one thing I learned in a restaurant (beside dirty words in spanish) its negative comments spread faster than positive ones. For all the people who share their negative experences with others, those people will share it, so on and so forth. Like Pay it forward, that crappy movie where the kid dies.
So, just do your part and whenever religion comes up in conversation, let people know first hand your experience with the cult.
... with "zest for education".
yes, i've been bitten by the bug and have decided to follow her example and enrol for university.. unfortunately, i don't get a student grant so i don't get to blow it all on beer and partying .
but i will get a degree at the end of it
I'm wondering if I should go back and get my Masters degree in Public Admin. My job is willing to pay for 1/2 the tuition....Hmmmm
according to the bible, man was made from the ground.....the dirt.. do you know what "fowls" were made from?
take your pick.. from the waters.gen.1:20-21"and god said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
and god created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and god saw that it was good.
I thought vultures keep babies away. Nobody wants to have "relations" around a bunch of vultures, since they are probably there for a corpse.
.
because they are brainwashed into thinking that "distorting the truth" is ok in circumstance involved in defending their faith-theocratic warfare.
they constantly lie to themselves about what kind of person they really are and deny themselves life's pleasures-hence the "double life syndrome" lie to friends at school, lie to elders, lie to people in the cong.
...you are what you eat, and their Spiritual Food tm is full of lies
