Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. All dogs WILL suffer.

The despicable thing about all this was that not only were you required to "lovingly" kiss their rear ends, conditions were attached to be even qualified to do so. Lets see- you had to be out of debt- any form of debt. You were required to jump at the mere suggestions of leadership,and never, ever question their logic or fallibility. You had to roll like a dog in their rehashed teachings that would offend the intellect of an eighth grader. That's just for starters. Add to that requirments to schedule family, friends and even work out of your life to go to the newest and the bestest events.. Do all this, and they MAY consider if you are spiritual enough to kiss their royal arses. And don't forget to brush, floss and use mouthwash before doing so.

Be careful.. the "lefties" (and righties for that matter) might take that kind of statement as a compliment, heh heh.

Well, she may be a self-serving, coniving, riches seeking, ultra-controlling rugmuncher with delusions of godhood, with serious need of attention from the "reflections" department, but at least she, well, um... good grief. Can't think of anything positive to say, heh heh.

I normally refrain from posting about political stuff but- heh heh. While I was in TWI, lessee- I voted for Reagan, I voted for George Sr. I voted for George Jr once. You could have described me as a dyed in the wool conservative and been pretty close to reality. So much of my political opinion was definitely religion, or more specifically TWI driven. After leaving, I started to THINK. Iraq besides, Bush and administration is strong-arming anybody they can to implement a fifty year old technology, touting it as the answer to the broadband "dilemma"- it is called BPL, or broadband over power lines. His own scientists and technicians warned of its disasterous interference with radio services, almost ALL radio services. This includes emergency, hobby, aircraft, police fire and rescue, almost all radio services. Despite the evidence, he chose to strong-arm his own scientists into modifying their statements, and turned the FCC into a puppet to rubber stamp the deal for the power companies. To me, this says a heck of a lot more about his character than any self-confessed religious belief. He's in bed with somebody, and not the American people, in my opinion.. I did not vote for him. God help me, I think I'm turning into a Liberal, heh heh.

But the same thing could be said of Loy: he may have been a swastika kissing, high goose-stepping, unfaithful, overbearing, abusive, lily livered and hateful bag of dung, but at least he was not a slovenly housekeeper.

Now now, don't give him too many compliments, heh heh.

Now you've gone and done it Satori- 269 views of this thing, and we've got 269 more possessed from the pit wascals in the world, sheesh. Heh heh.

"Foul breathed ***** cat action" ha ha ha ha ha...

I don't know who to congratulate more, you or son. Congratulations to both. You both did a fine job. Just curious, what's next? Does he have any plans (yet)?

Tell us how you really feel, Catcup, heh heh.

Just got thinking of another little principle- out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. They were so filled with that junk, they couldn't help themselves. I think what the bast**ds blurted out was just the tip of the iceberg.

Typical. Just parroting his "daddy" in da verd.. I have heard similar statements out of the mouth of several "leaders"- almost all limb guys here with the exception of Ralph D. I heard similar statements out of the mouth of branch leadership. One thing you can say, "that kind" of belief was PERVASIVE. Most of my observations were before Loy came to power. Who was in charge of that show? You may merely accuse them of being over-zealous or something, but to me it is obvious that they learned it somewhere. If it looks like Nazi, smells like Nazi, I would venture to say that it IS Nazi. Maybe not in membership, but as Catcup said, definitely in ideology.

Yep. Who knows, maybe one of the "followers" accidently dropped a quarter in one of the bins at Wal-Mart or somthing..

Not modern alkaline types. They are usually good on the shelf for five to seven years. Television may be nice, but a radio will do the job. They may be costly, but if you want to keep frozen food frozen, and cold food cold, generators are a must. The price for a generator that is rated just enough to run a refrigerator is not too exhorbitant. Why have one big enough to run everything, including washer and dryer? With widespread power outages, you may not have running water anyway. Though it may not muster enough effort to run central air, a smaller generator could probably handle a window air conditioner when its not busy keeping food frozen. Since you will be running the generator outdoors, unless you have something REAL fancy, you may consider security. Other people will not have generators, yet they will greatly desire them, heh heh. Large chains that can't be cut with a common hacksaw seem to do the trick.. With a generator you must also consider fuel storage. Most gasoline will turn into goo in your carberator if stored untreated for over a year or so. There are additives- one brand name is Stabil, that makes gasoline usable for a very long time. Fifty or so gallons of gas will last a long long time keeping frozen food frozen, if used wisely (don't let the darn thing run all day and night, just enough to keep the freezer cold). Distilled water is a good thing to have around, despite the expiration date on the jug, the water really does not expire. This is much better than treating unknown water with the little pills. The pills may kill bacteria, but I think they do little to remove contaminants from the water. Another thing to consider: buy a television and/or radios capable of being hooked up to the lighter plug in your vehicle. The vehicle itself can be used for a source of emergency power when the little batteries in the TV run down. Or buy an inverter. This can be used to run 120 Volt AC appliances from the battery in your vehicle. Just be careful not to run the battery down so far that it cannot start the car..

Well, if they did, it proves one thing. A leopard may not change spots, but it sure tries to bleach em..

David, I have actually been following a lot of the thread.. and it is interesting. Sorry, insightful and serious is kinda tough for me to cough up very often, heh heh.

Thanks for the contributions so far.. Abigail, that's priceless, heh heh, But at this point I think Oenphile's site rates the highest.

For me, I think indulging in insanity is often pretty good therapy.. Here are a few of my favorites. Favorite #1 favorite #2 favorite #3

Absolutely Steve, I think it about as saturated with oxygen as its gonna get..

Happy birthday. Hope it is a good one.

Funny you mention that Trefor- I had to write a paper about DHMO for my first college level chemistry class. More info here

"Geeze, let the d@mn thread die already!" Not likely Belle- they have been arguing about water for centuries, heh heh.

Maybe they should just let it die with some dignity, heh heh.

"Can I cough up the canary now?"
