A Poll that is close to YOUR HEART
by philo inafter some scandalous chat rooming about this, i thought i'd open the floor to nominations for jwd high priestess before mr.moe runs off with our prisca over his shoulder .
as much as i would like to vote, i have to remain impartial in this important constitutional matter.
please vote now for high priestess........ .

Anybody else had visions?
by philo inwhen i was separating from my wife and leaving the jws, i had some visions.
for some strange reason, i decided not to eat for a day, then when i found my thinking clearer and my emotions mellower, i fasted for another two days.
so after the third day, i was walking down our street and i saw the houses burning after me, i felt this was an affirmation that marriage was decay and destruction, or wasteage.

Innocent Blood - comment
by philo in"six things that jehovah hates, yes seven... hands that are shedding innocent blood.
jehovah made this rule, but seems never to have kept it.
babies killed at the flood were innocent but god killed them, the firstborn sons of egypt were innocent but he killed them, jesus was innocent, but god required his death too.

Parasites
by philo ini have just listened to a radio programme on the bbc about parasites, which it made my flesh crawl.. imagine a parasite that invades an ant, but which does more than feed from its bodily nutrients, it interferes the ants nervous system.
it does this to cripple the ant.
it must infect a bigger animal, a grazing herbivore, and for this, it must disable its host above ground during the warmth of the day.

Embarrassed? You could say that.
by philo ini wanted to put this on the 'most embarrassing moments' thread, but sorry dorky...i couldn't find it.. when i was earnestly 'studying' to be a dub, i went with a friend, who was also my study conductor, for a game of squash.
on the way, by car i suddenly realised i had forgotten my trainers - but much worse, i got a terrible sinking feeling as i recalled where i had left them.
i had left them in the only place in our shared 'batchelor' house, where they could quickly dry out: oh my god, in the oven!

Androgenous names
by philo ini'm only stirring here, and i hardly ever do that - go easy on me.. what do you fellas think about being carried down a ladder from a burning building by a woman called dave (shortened from davina)?
or you girls going on a blind date and finding that 'brian' is a girl who shortened her name from brianni for personal reasons?.
do you like the way most names convey the gender, or is it superfluous?.
