when i was replying to nicolas' question in another thread, i used the following scripture to show why jws are always so tired:"the scribes and the pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of moses.
therefore all the things they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform.
they bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger.
You used book bags?
How weak in the truth you all were.
I used a golf cart, you know, the electric 4-wheel drive type?
Made door to door a blast, as I had a little catapult rigged up... I could get a sample copy through a letterbox at fifty yeards with that baby...
... I love the smell of newsprint in the morning ...
... it smells of service ...
yes this has been done before... but there are lots of new posters soooooo... what's your sign?
do you know your whole chart?
i do astrology stuff and tarot yada yada, so if ya want i can do your whole chart for you and stuff, or compatibility charts too, but i need exact time of birth.
Of course, everyone knows astrology is rubbish...
.. the fact I am a SUCH a cliched Sagitarius with Leo rising, a Cancer Moon, and mostly Mercury in the planets is a source of great annoyance to me ...
... as of course, everyone knows Astrology is rubbish, and there is no possible way that stars billions of miles away can influence my behaviour ...
However, despite this, whenever I swap the Star Charts of colleauges around when I read them out to them when I'm flicking through a newspaper, they carry on agreeing with the observations in them, even though I'm reading (say) a Cancer horoscope to a Aries person.
Whatever. Sagitarians are coolest, so there.
i must confess that her ladyship and i lived together for 6 months before we got married, so that must be, er...say 200?.
then we used to spend 3 nights a week gambling in tiberiuss casino, even after we got married, so.....umm, say another 250?.
i must have eaten black pudding, say, 100 times?.
Well, I don't keep count as it's a load of bull, but it's amusing to write it all down I suppose...

EMan; you said "IMO, only the emotionally crippled need guidance from Brooklyn."
I agree, and think that the Borg are set up in such a way that peope ARE emotionally crippled if they get involved, or especially if they grow up in the Borg.
hehe, all my best threads usually have all-caps in the titles.
this one's a doozy!.
i went out to this nightclub near my work last night (saturday night), and i was having a good old time, when i decided to sit down on a big, flat futon couch near the entrance to one of the dancefloors for a while (it's an outdoors club!).
SYN; Run. I have experienece with psycho women. She's one. Don't let silly little things like brick walls, plate glass, or drops from the 2nd dloor get in your way. Run. Don't let the fact that she is a woman, not a girl, and therefore has a mind exponentially more dirty than most girls stop you. If you hang around you will find a world of pain!!
Which, might be your thang!
;-)
And, Preston, do you mean Darling Nikki, off Purple Rain...? It's not that rude, or am I a little too liberal? Great guitar riff though, but not as good as the one on 'Bambi'.
I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess U could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine
She said, “How'd U like 2 waste some time”
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grindShe took me 2 her castle and I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices, everything that money could buy
She said, “Sign your name on the dotted line”
The lights went out and Nikki started 2 grindOw, Nikki!
The castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell U what she did 2 me, but me body will never be the same
Her lovin' will kick your behind, oh, she'll show U no mercy
But she'll sho'nuff, sho'nuff show U how 2 grindDarlin' Nikki, oh!
I woke up the next morning, Nikki wasn't there
I looked all over, all I found was a phone number on the stairs
It said, “Thank U 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever U wanna grind”Yeah, Nikki, oh!
Oh, come back Nikki, come back!
Your dirty little Prince wanna grind, grind, grind, ...!
... on the news yesterday they announced that president bush had made a statement regarding the elections in zimbabwe, that they were 'severely flawed' or something, and that the result shouldn't stand.
this caused her much amusement.
i know there's not that much of a comparison, but it's funny how people forget, isn't it?.
Sorry Hmmm, but sleepy and avengers are right, that's hilarious; I can't wait for my girlfriend to get home, she'll love it...
{... hopefully laughing with you, not at you}
i know the word, "organization" has a bad taste.
but it is a fact of life that to get anything done on a grand scale in this world, good leadership and organization are a must.. we lack organization, much of what is said and done is a hit and miss thing except for the u.n. problem.
thanks to those who took a lead and the others who followed their lead some damn good work got done!
I think trying to organise xJW's is like trying to herd cats.
It's a great idea, but a little difficult in practise, as, well, you know cats.
the contradiction below is just one among a great many which show that the bible cannot be trusted to give an accurate account of jesus life.. mark believes that jesus cursed the fig tree before he drove the merchants from the temple:.
the next day as they were leaving bethany, jesus..said to the tree, "may no one ever eat fruit from you again.
" (mark 11:12-14).
stocwach;
All you seem to do is try to find fault with the Bible and expect that the Bible should simply be perfectly easy to interpret and understand.And what is wrong with that? Why is god playing games?
Don't you realize your persona was foretold in the Bible?No, the writers of the Bible (who knew they were making it up) put in lines of text that would critisize people who said anything against their illogical writings, as a form of defence against people unreasonable enough to require logic, justice, and proof.
And don't you also realize that the Bible you envision would require no faith whatsoever?Faith with out works is dead. When god shows us the works, and proves that they're his, then we'll have faith. Until then, faith is dead, and god is buried with him. What is the problem with god being as provable constant and unarguable as gravity? People LIVES are. allegedly on the line here, and you think it is reasonable to just 'have faith'? SOd that! Proof is what my allegedy god-given human nature demands, and it's not what I get as far as god is concerned.
The bible in twelve words;
Old Testament; Don't piss-off god.
New Testament; Be nice to people.
in the beginning there was the computer.
and god said.
c:\let there be light.. enter user id.. c:\god.
Thank you, this is great!
funny how things can change:.
cannabis is given health all clear.
by david taylor home affairs correspondent .
Being a Brit who smokes pot in Holland, I find the British looking at re-classifying cannabis quite funny.
I think I'm right in saying it's been this way in Holland for twenty years.
In research I did at University I found that British teenager were MORE likely to smoke pot on a regular basis than Dutch teenagers. More Dutch teenagers have experimented with pot, but it's not 'cool, illegal, edgey' or whatever; their DAD might smoke it, which is death to ALL conceptions of coolness, so it's just not as popular here.
Also, coffee shops allow a 'sanitised' environment for obtaining drugs. People can make good money running a coffee shop, and few are stupid enough to muck it up by stocking hard drugs.
This means your casual pot smokers don't get hit on by their dealer whose got some 'really nice speed' or whatever in stock, which is a typical method of progression from one drug to another.
Statistics show, for example, that Heroin users as a group in Holland are getting older, i.e. the AVERAGE age of heroin users is rising, as few new users join the ranks. This is probably in part due to the sanitisation of supply.
Now Britain, along with Belgium and Portugal, are joining Holland in NOT a more liberal attitude toward drugs, but a more pragmatic attitude toward drugs. You can't stop it; the USA's dumb War on Drugs (result, more drugs and cheaper drugs; let's hope the War on Terrorism is better fated) is proof of this as is the Prohibition period of the 20's and 30's. Of course, they make it sound lie they're inventing the wheel!!
I smoke pot regulary, have a life, have been promoted a few times in the past year or so. There are many people like me, both here in Holland, the UK, and the USA.
As with any drug, ABUSE (as distinct from USE) is a combination of internal factors and the nature of the drug. Most people abuse drugs because they need to abuse drugs; they already were a 'loser', or a 'wife beater' beforehand, and are using the drugs as pleasure instead of for pleasure. Alcohol is notorious for increasing aggresion, cannabis for inducing relaxation.
Just as a guy can go to the bar and have a few brews each day without ever abusing alcohol, so can a drug user USE their drugs without abusing them.
I've known one guy who got aggressive on pot, and I turn into a big cuddly kitten when I drink a lot of booze, but these individual experiences don't change the 'normal' results of taking certain substances.
Essentailly though, it's human rights. If I'm not harming another, I can do as I will.

She also figured out why the American's always back Israel, despite the fact Israel act like a nasty little oppresive state a lot of the time. Apparently, American's think they're god's chosen people, but back Israel just in case.
