second time around i could go back as one of the anointed.. i failed dismally the first time as a rank-and-file-member and i put it down to the fact that i was underachieving.
my father always said that you should set your goals high.. so, give me a chance with that heavenly hope and i'll show you what can be done to get that wts show on the straight and narrow.
i'll even put in a good word for all the misfits here.
I''ll go back for one of four things:
1: The Funeral service of some relative (if held in the hall)
2: The Funeral service of some friend inside who still talks to me (if held in the hall)
3: My kid's wedding, if one of them decides at some point to be a witnes and get married. (God forbid!)
4: If I get really wealthy and buy an old kinddumb hall to gut out and turn into a night club.
just about everybody has a car and a story they can share.
does your car give you trouble, or would you recommend it to others?.
so, how would you rate your car?.
... i would say that we have seen chemical weapons tests in syria over the past 12, 15 months, rumsfeld said, without giving details.
we have intelligence that shows that syria has allowed syrians and others to come across the border into iraq, people armed and people carrying leaflets indicating that theyll be rewarded if they kill americans and members of the coalition.. syria has long been on a u.s. list of states suspected of supporting terrorism...... you can find more here:.

I've thought about how absurd it was going door to door. I always hated going door to door anyway, but I did learn the neighboorhoods in town better.
now that it's dispensed with its annual ``don't you dare partake" in advance of their spring travesty of a communion, the faithful and discreet slave shifts its focus to another seasonal perennial: the km's recurrent exhortation to ``mind your manners at this summer's district conventions.
by ``connecting the dots" between the leadership's admonition to mind one's manners at the hotel, to tip approriately, to avoid ``double-dipping'' by eating and then loading up on unapproved takeaways for lunch at hotels that prvide complimentary breakfast, to refrain from losing all inhibitions in after-hour socializing and to forego the donning of outlandish skin-tight (or conversely loose fitting ``hip-hop" outfits) forte duration of the assembly, a picture quite different from the idealized notion of jws being a worldwide fraternity of solidly mature, temperate ministers who lives find fulfilment only in the service of god and their fellow man.. what sort of adults need to be lectured in such terms, let alone a group that boasts of its aloofness from satan's world?
what does it suggest about leadership's awareness of how far removed from reality the rank and file is from their literature's stylized imagery?
bunch of mindless micromanaged automatons and autocratic neanderthals. and to think WE BELONGED TO THIS SHIT!
you are the president of the united states.
a meteor has been discovered that is headed toward earth.
they have calculated that it will strike france in 2 days, at approximately: 1:00 am.
as a species we are lucky that the Tunguska event happened where it did, when it did. In the ocean it might have caused devastating sea surges. If it had happened during the cold-war, it might have been viewed as a preemptive ICBM hit, and sparked a global thermonuclear exchange.

So Dubla,
Are you admitting you are yet another mindless kneejerk fascist who sees war not as a final option to an unsolvable problem, but rather as the first choice in lieu of Bush's Preemptive Strike Defence policy? Do you like to see people killed, Dubla? Hate them ragheads, eh?
The American blitzkrieg continues, and those who have sided with the murderous regime must now bury the morals and go along mindlessly.
the below message was e-mailed to a friend of mine who then sent it to me.

on the subject of jehovah's witnesses: they don't visit us anymore, they used to come by regularly.
agreed, guest77. Arguing over dead languages is pointless. actions over words, deeds over thoughts.
modern dub meetings follow the format of the first century christian meetings, or is that vice versa?
subliminal messages reinforce the message found in the watchtower of november 15, 2002. page six shows a picture of st paul's basilica in rome with the message that this is not the place for "spiritual refreshment".
the facing page (p7) shows an illustration of what is purported to be a meeting of first century christians.
Clearly the society is wrong. Christians of this time did not have magick markers to mark their answers on the scrolls the night before the meeting.

In one of his last books, Carl Sagan predicted that no civilization would be able to persist for a trully "long" time unless it develops space travel. Like Larry Niven said, "The dinosaurs became extinct because they had no space programme."
With an adequate space program you have options such as deflecting the asteroid, or, in the case of some huge doomsday scenario, at least you have more then one biosphere for the species to live on.
