Any thought behind your " Avatar"
by The Rebel ini think that's the correct phrase?
anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.
now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

TheRebel, nice OP. You are one of the better posters on the site. Thanks. Millie, Beautiful Mind et al, interesting stories behind the stories. Thanks.
My avatar is me. This is the first on-line blog I've ever joined (other than an ex-dub site about 19 years ago for 3 months), so I didn't realize that my User Name when I signed in would be my user name that showed up when I posted. Duh. So I just used my initials. David James at your service. Pleased to meet you; hope you guessed my name. But what's troubling you is . . .

http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/right.html - All states allow drivers to use the left lane (when there is more than one in the same direction) to pass. Most states restrict use of the left lane by slow-moving traffic that is not passing. Some states require drivers to move right if they are blocking traffic in the left lane. Most states follow the Uniform Vehicle Code and require drivers to keep right if they are going slower than the normal speed of traffic (regardless of the speed limit). A few states either do not require vehicles to keep right ("no"), or permit vehicles moving at the speed limit to drive in the left lane regardless of traffic conditions.
At least 38 states have laws in place to fine for lingering in the left lane. In five states, fines can reach $1000 and 22 states classify the violation as a misdemeanor. This number is increasing each year.Several studies in the US and UK have shown that slow drivers are among the most dangerous on roads and are the second leading cause of road rage (since tailgating is no. 1 and is often directly tied to slow drivers who won't move over slow drivers may be the single most direct cause of road rage) and a leading contributor to traffic accidents and deaths.Driving consistent with interstate speeds is not one of the top causes of traffic wrecks and deaths. Speeding and driving slower than the normal traffic flow are both contributing factors.Slower traffic keep right. Or stay on the traffic controlled (red lights) roads and off the Interstates. -

JM,
Then you are doing it right. I drove home today on the interstate for several hundred miles and time after time someone got in the fast lane and blocked the flow of traffic for several miles. They were too stupid or arrogant to get in the right lane or speed up, and the right lane was such that the faster traffic couldn't use it to pass.
THEY were the problem. Middle fingers don't suffice for people like that. There's a special place in hell for them.
Slower traffic keep right. Simple, really.

JM,
If you are in the far right lane it is very difficult for me to believe anyone is riding your ass. If you aren't in the far right lane and someone is riding your ass and you refuse to get over, you are breaking the law in many states and you are the problem in all of them. Not the people riding your ass.
And yes those are my middle fingers you saw in the SL500 or the BMW. Get used to seeing them.

In nearly every state the following signs or ones similar are posted on every interstate: Slower Traffic Keep Right.
If you see a BMW 328i on your bumper and you aren't in the far right lane, get the eff out of my way. That will solve 98% of your problems.
And if driving on the Interstate is more than you can manage, stay off of it.

I have tried really hard to be worldly, for ten years, tried to get worldly friends, and get back with family.
by Sledracer ini am so bad at being worldly, it's not like i gave it a good try, we are just not good at it my husband and i, i see him light up as he has started to read the bible again.
i'm good at being a witness, i am accepted, and hold the same beliefs, i have tried to find somewhere else, if there is a place, why hav'n't jehovah and the angels directed me to it?
thank you for all the loving posts, some of them have been just what i needed.

OK class, let’s recap.
Ms SledRacer states that she can’t make friends, even after 10 years, with people she views, treats and speaks of using the following descriptor that she views in the pejorative manner described:
“Wordly” – People she should avoid developing close friendships and relationships with. People who will be judged, condemned and justifiably destroyed at Armageddon, with no chance of life again.
So class, what do we call this? I will give you a hint. It’s a 4 letter word starting with “C”, ending with “E” and with an “LU” in the middle.
That’s right Ms. SparrowDown. We call it a CLUE.
It’s also likely the reason Ms. SledRader can’t make friends amongst the Queers, Faggots, Wetbacks, Chinks, Pollocks and Negroes.
Now class, I will be taking a few minutes break to go to the bathroom. And projectile vomit.

Worldly? WTF? You are still using this meaningless high control language descriptor ten years after exiting the cult? The Dark Lords may not have invented this type of linguistic control mechanism, but they damned sure have perfected it.
You never left it or them. Lose the cult language and stick around. Or go back and surround yourself with like minded simpletons who won't or can't develop the emotional, psychological, social and mental skills to thrive in the 'world,' all of whom are waiting for an event that is never coming and a savior that doesn't exist. That is clearly preferable to you rather than trying to make it in the mean ole world.
Just don't screw up too badly when you go back; you will see very quickly how loving those 'friends' are. But you should have known that already. It's amazing what you miss when your head is stuck squarely up your A***.
But the biggest question concerning this OP is WTF am I doing here? Now I have to go projectile vomit. And sign on at Reddit. This OP has to be the low point of my brief stay on this site.

Krasnovs case concerns me. Thanks Barbara. As for the Dark Tower I wonder how much the Dubs are a US entity factors into this. -

Blondie,
As I mentioned, this is a systematic strategy Vlad is employing. In 2012 the NGO (non-government org) law was passed that was aimed at foreign funded/sources NGOs involved in political actions. That law was capable of being viewed broadly by the courts and could have included the Dark Tower, Islam, etc.
In 2015 Russia passed an update to the 2012 NGO law that very broadly could be applied to any organization deemed to be undesirable. As written and applied, the new law can apply to anyone the courts - or Vlad - finds undesirable, and the parameters by which they are deemed undesirable are also very broad and interpretive. As intended.
I don't know for certain, but I doubt the Dark Tower rates even a passing thought to Vlad.
