The bottom is falling out of the Ponzi scheme - and nutjobs like e-watchman are siphoning off the hardcore believers by giving them what they want: the apocalyptic fever and the sense of "being in the know". the ones who were never really into that but just hung out and tried to serve God are getting beaten and driven out by thefeverishly increased pace.

I predict a major split - with ewatchman types going one, very small way and the rest spreading out into the world they've hated for so long. Or if there is a leader with the balls to change the religion, then maybe they'll follow him.

He was a Jehovah's Witness - a fulltime pioneer. That's why it took him 120 years to build the ark.

What Is Your Favorite Drink or Cocktail???

by minimus in

jw
friends

i enjoy armagnac, lately.

cognac is quite nice around the fall and winter, too.

Alcohol aside, the drink that really rocks my boat is a triple cappucino, light foam, from Bohemian Coffehouse-10,000 times better than that swill those teenagers at Starbucks serve.

HEY! I'm the last of the Great Baristas... and they're losing me in a couple of weeks (they don't know it yet.)

I'm with Flyin' - a White russian with really good vodka is the perfect relaxer. My partying drink is a tanqueray and tonic.

It was quite a shock to me to get to college and realize that ellipsis are not a valid quotation. I mean, how many times have you read an article and found those damned dots in the middle of some quote - EVEN FROM THE BIBLE - the missing words often directly contradicting the point being made!

They just announced the 2nd USA hostage has been executed

by Brummie in

they are taking the reports off aljezzera but say they need more evidence.. it appears the uk hostage has no chance and will be the 3rd, his family have just been on the tv condemning the prime minister for the iraq war and asking for his resignation.

but what can a prime minister do?

surrender to the sicko's commands?

For the record, I'm silent, not because I have stopped thinking, writing, or supporting this, it's just that I'm tired of the same old defeatist rhetoric being slung around like panacaea when it's just more hippie hemp-based hoopla. I think that the positions have hardened enough, we all know where we stand, and that's the end of it. I'm just posting my sympathies to the families, and that's it.
