Belle, I hit their back button, pressed "agree" for terms, then it let me in the next time I accessed it from Gspot.

Hey Cowgirl, I do that all the time. Just walk out of the room, back in again.. sometimes jars the memory.

Diazabro, I think there is somebody working on just that! I thought this little thread would keep folks busy with what it should have been..

I don't know. I think it is more that REALITY changed "us". For me anyway. Not fear. You MAY think the horse is dead, but.. looky HERE . This is pretty recent- how about 2004? And THE SAME bunch keeps trying to sell their devilish "ware".. They would LOVE to sweep this thing under the rug. This is not a twenty or thirty year old case, of someone not treating me nice or something. It seems to be a common habit of excusing evil: something der vey would rather you did not read, or even threaten you'd get "possessed" by doing so: This is the short version: I think things are far more serious than a few doctrinal "issues" or people just being a little mean.. I could live with that, go my separate way and say "so what".

Where is the rascal? Hope he didn't retire with the !'s. But that wouldn't be such a bad life either.. could really help the Mrs. with her Master's program.. Raf, do you know what's going on with the little "angel"?

Yep. Some of the "best" I've heard.. well, I've heard almost everything.. people walking down the streets talking in the darn things, like there is nobody else listening. I've heard stuff from talk about their current STD to arguments with almost ex spouse who withdrew all the money out of the accounts.. all this stuff right out on the street.. Cripe. I think THEY are giving us ten or more things we REALLY don't want to know..

From the other thread: So, "Mr." Ch***r, not so "valiant for the truth" anymore, are we. Or think that maybe it just didn't happen, that it somehow will all go away? I hope you didn't let this maggot babysit YOUR kid.. I used to have respect for you, you gutless bastard.

Lindy, that's a very, very good point. What WOULD you ask for indeed.. I think they'd be embarrassed or worse with some of the stuff I was told I could pray for. The PFAL thing was "and he was pointing to a literal mountain over there.." My opinion, private interpretation.

MJ, I was thinking more along the lines of the double standards of TWI. Makes sense with courts to some degree.. tough job to begin with. But TWI? What gives with that? They'd gladly execute homos, but seem to gladly support this character.. despicable. And THEIR kids- at least followers kids- are involved. They couldn't detect evil if it spit in their face. I think in this circumstance, its done more than that..

Good grief. Should've saved that one for four H's, but I think it counts.. I know somebody that named their dog Hashhish.

"Hashhish"

I dunno.. I know there are folks that have a genuine soul filled with love and devotion, but.. The thing that bothers me sometimes, is that some people claim the first half of this, and FEIGN the second half. They feign the devotion, the commitment- but may never have experienced the loss, the heartbreak, the FAILURE at times, that others have. Some are wonderful, others I think- don't have a clue. I dunno.. I think life taught me to take a couple of things seriously. Glad its not too many things though..

Well, maybe Moggy should be happy to occupy the center ring. "Hya, hya mog. (snap, crack..) up, up, stay". "Fred, you stick your head in this one's mouth, OK? I'm still recovering from the last one..."

Yep. Plus look at the double standard.. There are those among them who would "gladly execute" homosexuals, the bad unfaithful people, and others. I wonder why they draw the line at this distinct point. Oh well, I guess. Its just kids.. Just "no big deal", sure, they'll just "get over it".. Right. Makes perfect sense. Bastards.

Wowser. Maybe they are reading some of the stuff here..

Yep. Anybody as special as Belle, anyway..

Sorry, Cool One. OK fellas, roll in the kegs.. Bud goes here, Coors goes there..

True, true, I think either one would work though! Just when I thought I ran out of ideas.. Hawkers shall be allowed to work the audience, selling popcorn, peanuts, soft drinks and cotton candy.

Perhaps not. At least I hope not.. My ex probably thinks that I hate and resent.. I don't think I ever could.

Too bad we can't do the same thing to those idiots..

Reminds me of some of the old Twilight Zone episodes, or the old movie "It Came from Outer Space".. Despite serious beatings, "It" refuses to die, and just keeps coming back again, and again, and again.. Sucker LOOKS dead, just lying there.. playing dead.. barely cracking an eyelid once in a while, just waiting for somebody to put down the club, and look the other way... Probably will play dead for ANOTHER decade or so.. :)-->

Well, if the poor, tired, dead (?) thing doesn't want any more of the beatings of a lifetime, perhaps it should quit running itself against my stick. Really- da*n thing keeps coming back, for more and more. "See? I'm a kinder and gentler horse now.." "You just oughta forgive me for stinking so bad.." "If you just leave me alone, I PROMISE not to run anybody ELSE over.." Good grief- the darn horse is BEGGING for it. Cripe- DIE already, sucker..

The old PFAL definition: "WHATSOEVER, means WHATSOEVER" doesn't really do much for me. "All without distinction of what is 'promised' in the word" doesn't quite do much for me either. Too many guarantees. You could justify "whatsoever" to be, at least according to scripture: The "right" to become stinking rich. Worked for Abraham, did it not? The "right" to exercise power over the "God rejectors" and those who hate you.. (probably just annoyed..) Supposedly worked for Mordecai, Daniel, and others.. The "right" to buy anything your little heart desires- apparently worked for Solomon. I tend to not consider any of these in the category of "whatsoever", and "guaranteed" nowadays. I think Jesus set the record straight. "Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." Not that "things" are inherently bad.. or that secular fulfillment is devilish or anything.. I still think God would have us to carry out our calling, whatever it is, with joy.. But when he said "whatsoever", I don't think he had "abundance of things to possess" exactly in mind.

Who knows.. could it be coincidence? Or "divine design"? Heh heh.

Please read the above post with a smile. I was laughing my rear off.. just thought of some of this this morning..
