i havent said too much here recently, mainly due to a severe lack of anything to say !, however, tonight my old hall has had a special meeting with a talk by the head of the ireland branch.
he is visiting for a week and afterwords all present will be having snacks and drinks, in the hall.. please tell me what is happening with the world when special saterday night meetings are held with refreshments.
i think its because about 10 people have left recently and made no secret of their reasons, but still, its unheard of for this to happen.. any thoughts.

until recently, i hadn't gotten drunk in yrs, like maybe 20 yrs.
recently, i felt like doing it.
so, wanting to be balanced christian, i was just wondering how often would be optimal.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a man to NOT stand upright, and must therefore secure unto himself the blessings of libation.
Dump a little out for your dead homies, and then try one beer.
Next day, drink one beer, and start a second. Don't finish it.
Next day (the bartender should remember you by now), get a beer but before you drink it, do a shot of Schnapps. Don't do this in any bar where doing schnapps will get you beaten into a bloody pulp.
Congratulations! You are now ready to finish your tutorial drinking episode by drinking a glass of wine with lunch!
Now comes the hard part. A good drinking habit is like building a pyramid- first you have to level the field by removing all mental obstacles, all sense of shame or dignity, and any sense that your life has any long lasting value in a chaotic, meaningless universe. You are about to embark upon an adventure! You will be lying face down in the gutter, covered in your own vomit, and having the first real heart to heart with God you've ever had in your short, pitiful alcohol free life.

there are repeated claims being made that some radioactive materials decay rate could be modulated by .
strong electromagnetic fields - near heresy to some people.
the above site includes a publication list of some.
yeah, c-14 always seemed a little far-fetched to me.
I could take a used condom, bury it ancient dirt, and some archaeologist would be proclaiming that he'd found evidence of Neanderthal birth control (which is why they died out).
Interestingly, attacking c-14 triggers the same emotional reaction (contempt, hysteria) in sciencehumpers that attacking the Trinity or immortality of the soul provokes in biblethumpers.

last night i watched the abc special on the 40th anniversary of king's "i have a dream" speech.
a memory came back to me of the last district convention i attented.
it was in west palm beach (anyone ever been to the leake teepe?
JCanon makes me crack up. I have no idea if he really believes what he's saying, but apparently he's a flaming black drag queen who thinks he's god (But, don't all flaming black drag queens claim to be god?).
Sure, I'd follow Jesus if he was a flaming black drag queen, mostly because of how much it would piss Jerry Falwell off.

egyptian plans to sue jews over exodus gold .

I'm going to sue the states that seceded during the Civil War for the following reasons:
1) They invaded my home state of Pennsylvania and tried to steal shoes from a place called Gettysburg.
2) They owe me a pair of shoes.
3) Somebody I'm related to (no, I'm not sure who) died fighting to protect our shoes.
4) I have a traditional right to those Gettysburg shoes, although they no longer exist, but therefore I am entitled to a pair of shoes from the south.
5) Most tellingly, my current pair of shoes is wearing out. Therefore I'm owed a pair of shoes.
The only reason I support Israel is because it is our only democratic friend in a region of fanatical dictator/kings.

the athanasian creed
we worship one god [note: the trinity is monotheistic teaching only one god] in trinity, and trinity in unity, neither confounding the persons[note: the trinity does not teach that the father and the son are the same person or that jesus prayed to himself] nor dividing the substance [note:though they are different persons they are the same god.].
for the person of the father is one; of the son, another; of the holy spirit, another.
The trinity is absolutely a non-issue. We are judged by our actions, not our beliefs.

jw's always say that we better watch out because satan the devil is always looking at us to try to devour us.
we are told not to get involved with anything that is against god's will because satan is constantly looking at us to trick us into serving him.
satan is so powerful that he influences billions of people.
Well, I think Satan is the boogeyman for the WT, and they blame everything on him - but according to my understanding, he hasn't even been thrown to earth yet.

Well sure. Most of the RnF are actually really nice people that would try to correct something as unholy as institutionlizedracism.
In what sense were the congregations segregated? like, a black brother COULDN'T go to a whtie meeting?
This was all before my time, sorry...

ok i'm whinging here, but have you ever felt that way about your job/career?
take today, i'm supposed to be on pa (holiday) from my job, but got called in this morning, turned up on my ward, and ended up staying all day to support the nurses in the team.
we had 3 cardiac arrests, 1 psychotic patient who was threatening to stab someone, and the usual abusive relatives, who can't seem to see beyond themselves and what they expect.
You've got my respect, Scooby. I worked as an NA for a year - damn near killed me.
Nobody can blame you if you've put your time in and now you walk away. Maybe open your own clinic with a couple of doctors, or something.

here's a really far-fetched, entertaining, unproveable (but maybe disprovable!
) theory i've been mulling over: .
point #1: large breasts may be superfluous in women.
If it weren't for nice hoots coming through the door, my job would be unbearable.
