Hey, another fan of the Model M! I got mine at a thrift store a couple months back for $3.
I've got a friend who's also a fan. She says "It's not a real keyboard unless you can kill someone with it." For those of you who don't know, the Model M weighs a good 5 lbs.

website lets you send a post-rapture e-mail to friends 'left behind'by kevin poulsenjune 03, 2008 | 3:42:43 pm if millions of christians suddenly disappear from the face of the earth as the opening act for armageddon, threat level thinks most nonbelievers will be too busy freaking the hell out to check their e-mail.
but if they do log in, now they can be treated to some post-rapture needling from their missing friends and loved ones, courtesy of web startup youvebeenleftbehind.com.

That's a pretty good scam. Wish I would've thought of that.

Glad to hear she's back. She probably won't say it, but I'll bet she's glad to be back too.
Don't try to make things too awkward for her with her return. Maybe let things go back into their routine schedule and then bring it up (perhaps a week later). It'll give the both of you some time for your thoughts and emotions to settle down a bit. -

I WANT surgery on mine.
I went to the doc and they sent me to Physiotherapy. What a crock of shit that stuff is. I should become a Physiotherapist making big bucks on quack medicine. I was lifting 5 lb weights on my leg like a little girl.
Doc: How do you feel after your workout?
Me: The same as BEFORE my workout.
Doc: Okay, we'll get you to do it some more!
Eventually, I figured "screw this" and just started to deal with the pain. I tolerate it and bike to work. I REALLY don't think my muscles are the problem. -

Pimping the Divine Name
by Farkel inobviously, a unique aspect of the wt religion is the name it has chosen, "jehovah's witnesses.
jehovah this.
jehovah that.

The thing I hated most about the name "Jehovah" is how my mother pronounced it. It was always different from everyone else.
Everyone else said "Juh-ho-vuh"
My mother said "Jeeeeehovaaah"
My mother seems to have an accent of unknown origin though. Another example is the word "garbage"
Everyone else says "Gar-buj"
My mother says "Gar-beeej"
In effect, removing the vowels would work well for my mother. JHVH S GRBG. -

I think I just figured out what's wrong with the statement "Jesus Saves". It's a typo. It's supposed to say "Jesus Slaves".

What did you think in -95?
by Samuel Thorsen inwhen i first read about wts having "new ligth" on the 1914-generation issue in the newspaper i was shocked.
(some evil apostates had been helpful and informed the paper weeks before i got my november issues of the wt.).
my thoughts was.

I was mad. I was pissed right off.
The thing is, I didn't find out until 2002. I still had the fear that I was going to get killed off at Armageddon. I knew it was right around the corner because how long could the Gen of 1914 live now? When I found out they changed it (Thanks to Randy's site), I was furiously mad.
It's like being taught the color Red was Yellow. Then you find out the truth years later and realize that you've been lied to all your life. But that change in doctrine completely freed me of the fear of Armageddon and instead of being afraid of what my future held, it made me look forward to my future. It was an essential step in me becoming a more positive person. -

Wow, you've sure had the shit kicked out of you over the past while. Sorry to hear things are still going to hell. You could use a vacation.
Teenagers do some really stupid shit. I know because I was one once. Sparky, you were once one too. I'll bet you did some stupid-ass shit.
Seems pretty typical for kids to have a brief run away from home when they're in their mid teens. She'll probably come back with some lessons under her belt. It'll likely make her a bit wiser and smarter.
You may find this a bit weird, but I look back on my teen years and wished I had run away. Probably would've done me a lot of good. Just a good ol' vacation from my parents, living off of what god gave me: my ability to hunt down my own food. Of course, I probably would've been too stupid at that point in my life to know how to do it :)
When she comes back, you book your ass on a plane and goto Hawaii or something. You need a break.
