Like I mentioned in one ofmy earlier posts about some friends who enjoy certain types of night clubs and adult scene, I have not ended those friendships, I just find something else to do on those nights and either stay home, visit with someone else or go somewhere completely different.
I don't agree with the total waste of time and money, but it's not my call.

Could You Stay Friends With Someone Who Visited Prostitutes?
by Englishman ina while back, an aquaintance of mine told me that he liked to visit prostitutes.
although we weren't that close, i'd worked on and off with him over the years.
i knew his wife too and would often see her around town.. he'd told me that when he had something to celebrate, like his birthday or maybe a commercial win, he and a pal of his would do the pubs and clubs first and then go kerb crawling until they found a pair of street girls who would play the swopsy's scene.

I am already purchasing my monthly MBTA commuter rail pass again because I will literally asve $14.00 USD per day in parking and probably at least $10.00 USD per day in gasoline.
I have had it. All of this war for oil and who is getting the benefit while young people die? -

Embarrassing moments at work
by damselfly ini think we need a fun fluffy thread today, so this is my attempt at starting one.
at work we have a big bathtub with air jets.
clients come in for a hydrobath, (hopefully remember their swimsuit 'cause i've seen so many naked people by now it's getting boring), leave and then, oh joy!, i get to clean the tub.

At one firm, on my very first day after hiring, I was escorted by a pretty staffer from personnel and introduced to every department in the organization.
During the introductions, I could not figure out why everyone kept staring at my trousers, and/or looking down when they greeted me in return, thus, I returned to my desk very puzzled, until I looked down and noticed my zipper had been unzipped the entire morning!
I literally met all 250 employees from about 07:30AM until about 11:00AM and never realized my zipper was open! I have also repeated that mistake several times since then at super markets, banks, post offices, etc. -

I can publicly, with clean conscience, and with indignation, vehemently state for the record that the "FULLER" family of Rhode Island (led by notorious elder Richard E. Fuller and stepford-like wife Claudette) are a clan of hypocritical, phony, self-righteous, greedy, mean-spirited, vicious, spiteful, hateful, vengeful, wrathful, evil, selfish, egotistical, robotic, twisted, maniacal, dysfunctional, injurious, deceptive group of impostors posing as normal, happy religious folk.
Recently, it was discovered that daughter Tammy Fuller (my ex-wife's fraternal twin) became pregnant and the father is a worldly associate, an attorney friend (like most witnesses who have never completed higher education, these FULLER's love to attempt to "hob-knob" and mingle with worldly professionals and thus, they now are networked and have beneficial insider scoop to help "poorer" less fortunate witnesses...how pathetic) who is WHITE!
What does daddy elder do? He barrs his daughter from the home and no longer speaks to her at all. He used to regularly throw his own children out on the street whenever they disagreed with him or the WTBS. This man has cleverly and selfishly used the WTBS religion like the "corban" principle to always acquire and ambitiously puruse material interests while discouraging others and chastising others for doing the same thing.
He is a religious scrooge that has never refused an opportunity to take material advantage of anyone and anything (calling it always "unrighteous riches") and managed to avoid scrutiny. He has lied to his own wife and children about being removed as elder and has was a physically over-abusive father (extension cords, yard tools, fists, etc).
His wife has never lifted a finger in behalf of her own flesh and blood children and watched while they were beaten, ejected from the home and many other terrible and tyrranical things were done in her presence. I am a living eyewitness and would testify in court today, if I were given the chance.
This woman, in order to save her precious home, jewelry, almost luxury lifestyle, has stood by and watched her own childern suffer setbacks of every kind and proportion. My ex-wife is a product of that household, and someday I will exact my revenge for the life of my beautiful daughter TALIA! -

Why did the WTBTS not sue Ray Franz?
by Gill inif ray franz had been lying in anything he said in both of his books, c of c and in search of christian freedom, surely the wtbts would have sued him.
why did they take no legal action against him?.
could it be that this legalistic corportion realised he had lied about nothing?

The WTBS leadership was much more stoic, archaic, tyrranical and paranoid than today's new and improved version. Reverting back to those early 1980's, it is obvious that the general "age old" principle of always avoiding publicity was followed to the letter.
Engaging RAY FRANZ in a public lawsuit would have been scandalous, and damaging despite the results. Today's WTBS might have handled the matter differently, since they are prone to more legally deceptive, conniving and manipulative practices and behavior.
The "old guard" would have staunchly relied on their existing policies and simply resorted to cover-ups and internal cleansing. Today, they actually believe they are intelligent, they believe their own lies and consider themselves "normal" and "mainstream" and thus, in my opinion, are more dangerous than the tired and outdated predecessors. -

Forgive me all, but, I just cannot help it. Even though she is a dub, and she is just as strange in her behavior as they all are, I find her to be so damn sexy!
I guess it's the taboo, the impossibility, the difficulty of ever being able to hook up with her that makes her even more tempting. She makes me very excited! -

Way to go Alan!
Who truly knows how many ancient tribal lords, sheiks, phony gods, rulers, and other people of power went into the composite image the bible writers composed for us? -

I have to admit, that cheeseburger looks fantastic. As soon as I leave today, I am heading to the first fast food burger place I can find and ordering one with bacon, extra cheese!
There goes the diet and the abs! -

Humans have been writing and extolling the virtues and principles of JUSTICE, MERCY, LOVE, for thousands of years. We will always be fascinated and ever curious about how and why we behave the way we do with others and with ourselves, thus we create stories, myths, proverbs, sayings, anectdotes, allegories, metaphors, illustrations, examples, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Why? It is human nature to express feelings and to dramatize life's events. We use events and history to teach and to entertain. Thus, it is entirely plausible that morals and fables arise from human association.
It does not however, offer proof of any judeo/christian/islamic deity based on early middle-eastern writings and philosophies.
