Ah yes skimmer that rings a bell .. going back even earlier Russell wrote about the American civil where men flew in balloons dropping bombs thus breaking the powers of the heavens, machine guns and other new machines of death were a sure sign of satans presence etc.....

A simple question for serious JW's:
According to this Sunday's newspaper suppliment a common snail travels at 24 inches/hour (60cm/hr). I've got snails in my garden and I've just crunched some math on my super scientific pocket calculator. The distance in miles between my place and Mt.Ararat x 5,280 divided by 24 then divided by 365 (i know i haven't allowed for leap years and "O" years bibleman) = 3,013 years 8 months 4 days.
According to that these snails, if they ran flat out 24 hours a day through persia, india, thailand and indonesia and swam the arufura sea at the same pace, could have arrived here about 400 years ago. I can hear the fundy's breathing a deep sigh of relief and declaring the ancient aboriginal midens full of snail shells near here not so ancient as scientists say.
Poor bloody snails eh? 6,000 year round trip only to be roasted on a cavemans fire. Oh well at least they got a boat ride with Noah. Hang on.. what if they piggy backed a kangaroo? .. yeah that's it after Noah unloaded all the Australian animals (all 250,000 species) they made a beeline for the antipedes .. was it two Kangaroos or seven bearing the load? .. if only bro.bruce bainbridge was here.. perhaps this post should be titled: "A serious question for simple JW's"
.. mmm i wonder how fast a sugar ant can run?
cheers up there bro bainbridge (don't fall ;)
PS: No JW's posting? Well come on Rex, YouKnow, Shelby, Bibleman, Yadfluff tell me the struth.

I Don't Sympathise With Suicides
by Englishman inlet me explain.. firstly i have seen any number of so-called attempted suicides.
i've walked past an old girl friends house, seen her watching tv through the window, by the time i'm knocking on the door she's told me that she had her head in the gas oven and my knock stopped her.. my mother in law walks into the sea for a pastime.
every time she can't get her own way she walks in up to her knees and waits for someone to see her.

Thanks for the explaination mindchild,
You are a level headed guy and much valued here from your very first post. I think the only way Englishman and I will be fully understood is if we post long on our personal experiences with the suicidal. Something I am loath to do for personal reasons.
I also believe everyone here apart from the elusive 'unclejimbo' (BATHORY?) handled the whole thing very well, it's an emotional subject and i'm sure one that touches on the lives of JWs more than your average citizen.
cheers, unclebruce.

Englishman,
You are a rock!! and I agree that lunatic unclejimbo was winding things up .. irresponsible wanker. I don't agree with you 100% but so freak'n what .. i'm sure that feeling is mutual. I can't think of anyone better on this board i'd rather have near me in any kind of crisis.
cheers, unc.

Hey Mindchild,
Your reply "Uncle Bruce I don't know what planet you live on at times.... blah blah blah"
was to whom exactly???? I haven't posted in this thread till now.
I was gonna say some nice things about you plus mention the fact that you're sometimes out of touch .. Lilacs was right when she said you keep kicking people in the guts. Us fluff posters have just about had enough. You do realise that the elitist "mattress posters" view you as a fluff poster don't you? Or are you deluded enough to think you're part of the self proclaimed "internet intelligencia?" LOL I have never seen you post anything here that the big boys wouldn't label "fluff".
If you don't even know whose replies you are reading you really make me wonder and it underlines lilacs point yes?
I'll give you a clue why you don't understand a lot of what i post. are you listening? with both ears open? I'm only going to say this once OK? WHAT I POST IS WRITTEN TO AN INDIVIDUAL (that means a specifically tailored responce to an individual with perhaps a long posting history with me, specific on going jokes and memories etc... or maybe I don't care if YOU understand what I'm saying. I may just wanna get in your head and rearrange the furniture because I'm a mad bastard)

PS: I have never seen Lilacs so upset you cad.
PSS: This is the second time I've had to straighten you out tonight, what am I your freaking thought butler? lol.

G'day Larc,
I don't know about the English but I think you'd be hard pressed to find an American term us Australians aren't familiar with. That's a challenge ... come on, hit me with something and see if i've just made a complete drogo of myself. lol

England vs Australia
Crisps = Chips
Pram = Pusher
Devon = Fritz(SA)
Ice Lolly = Ice block
Off Licence = Mixed business (NSW) Deli (SA)
it's gone right pearshaped = it's rooted ;)
why bova? = why bother?
(some of these may be dead wrong I'm racking my brain trying to replay old episodes of Heartbeat and The Bill ... but there are 1000's of 'em)
Best Irish saying: "Friken Ejet" (as in Father Ted)
