Cretans always lie, said the Cretan
by euripides intitus 1:12,13 from the nasb .
one of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.
" this witness is true.

While it is attributed to that epi-dude, maybe it was a current saying that was USED to point out the nature of a paradox, rather than being invented to demonstrate paradox? Wouldn't necessarily make the writer of Titus a liar or an uneducated fool...

Transplants are okay, have been since the seventies, I think - only Rutherford had a problem with it, and Knorr didn't change anything, but it changed under Franz, I believe...
Anyway here's another bit of good news:

Mario Lemieux, Roberto Clemente, Franco Harris - have all helped make my city the arrogant, Cleveland hating, beer and a shot drinking, swaggering and staggering town that it is.
Lemieux won us 2 Stanley Cups and then bought the team and played for it - he and Jagr side by side was a duo you'll never see again. And big ol' Kevin Stevens planted by the goal to ram home the puck. What a team. What a time... Francis, Errey, Tocchet, Barasso, Wregget... and Pitrangelo's "The Save" against the Whalers (remember them?) Ah, how we tormented the Capitals, Rangers, and Devils every year... until the damned neutral zone trap was invented... damn them...
Clemente I do not remember; but he was one of the best players in history and died on a charity mission. We cannot believe that the best baseball player in history actually played for the Burgh, but he did.
And Franco Harris, who caught the Immaculate Reception? Now he does a lot of public appearances and charity work and really helps define the character of my city. So he is a hero in more than one sense - he was just lucky or blessed that day; but ever since he has worked for it.

Oh, I sincerely hope so. This is exactly the kind of result I was not daring to hope for. I hope this is true.
this really would be a miracle...

Starting the fade, and getting the "calls".
by kwintestal inso mrs. kwin, like myself, has started the fade.
she's getting visits or calls 2 to 3 times a week from jw's in the hall.
what do you do when you get these visits?

I don't know - IMHO the fade seems harder than just DA'ing or getting DF'ed. But even if that happens you still get a call once a year, or at least I do every September or so; and I'm a raving aposta-looney! Of course, I don't exactly avoid confrontation - if that's what the fade is about then maybe it is the best way to go. But when I get the "call" I usually explain fairly succinctly that I am not interested in "returning" and that I have discovered many blatant hypocrisies and lies about the WT and its history and its activities. they leave me alone. But once a year or so I generally run into somebody that is trying to win me back over one way or another. Probably something I will have to bear for the rest of my life.

Of course, my favorite moment from Hellraiser is when Frank is all strung up on the hooks and chains, and then he pokes his tongue out and says, "Jesus wept." It's gross beyond gross, because then he explodes...

jw meaning please
by A Paduan in.
what do the wtbts / jws think this means ?
"when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest; and finding none he says, `i will return to my house from which i came.

Think about some of those folks behind the doors, and the houses we went into. Especially the housing projects in the States and the hood.
You ain't kidding. I guess I saw both extremes. We did plenty of inner city. I went to a book study in a poor black neighborhood - took about half an hour to get there. And right after Rodney King, one of the other white brothers had a bunch of angry black men surround his car and rock it back and forth. He escaped unharmed, but he refused to go into that neighborhood again! It was a shame, because after that I had to do all the reading. I think I was about nine or ten...
The other extreme: I went "farm to farm" in rural PA - talk about dirt roads, compounds, and rebel flags every damn place? God help you if they thought you were the revenoo... Old steel towns have a lot of rebel colors, too.

a quiet moment on the beach
by teejay inthere was a commercial on tv tonight during a football game... .
a couple with their backs to the camera were sitting on a beach facing a crystal blue sea.
soft, tropical breezes blew, seabirds called to one another, gentle waves crashed onto a pristine golden shore.

It depends on the kind of relationship. I mean, the wife KNOWS he's going to look - but the lime juice could just be a friendly reminder that "Hey, buddy" but in a teasing kind of way. It's a form of flirting with some couples.
Other women actually ARE threatened and react a little extremely.
Others stare just as lasciviously...
