  i work at a major airline in the in-flight training department.

  i was sitting at the desk on the computer, i kid you not... writing the security (hijacking) curriculum for 2002, when someone came in and told me a plane flew into the wtc.

  we all thought it was one of our planes.

  Interesting series on YouTube by AnonDude2

  i came across a series of youtube videos presented by an ex jw and thought the story he has to tell and the videos he presents are amazing.. the young man is only 19 years old, he was baptized at the age of 14. he has made over 150 videos.

  many of his initial videos takes the viewer step by step through his judicial committees.

  there is over 4 hours of taped video of the proceedings and he provides his own commentary after each 15 minute taping.. ethan was eventually disfellowhipped for three reasons.

  I listened to the JC recordings and they must really like this kid or have a lot of pity for his situation because they are bending over backwards to get him to recant his stand. He on the other hand wants to have a session on doctrine even though he's made up his mind. He wants to expose the lies and they just want him to get back in step with the other drones. You can see its going nowhere.

  Bush and all the other politicians sold out this country to line their pockets. I think Obama is status quo. This has been the downfall of the U.S. empire and will lead to a collapse of its influence, though the nukes tend to lend a certain level of influence regardless of economic prowess. It will be a rocky road for awhile but when the dust clears we'll still have our breakbasket to carry us through.

  Mine was a 1986 K-car. The best airconditioning I've ever had, it blew snowballs. I bought it for 200.00 and drove it till it blew up. Loved that little box of fun. Putfile seems to be dead so I can't post a photo of one, sorry.

  i was reading this story on cnn.com this morning about pastor youcef nadarkhani spending 1000 days on death row in an iranian prison for having converted to christianity and refusing to deny his faith.. .

  Our survival instinct is very strong. We don't need Holy Spirit to want to survive. He obviously had motivation to survive great enough to do so. He didn't need any magic juju to do it.

  After the cauldron it became a big bore. The whole music section with the black girl and boy were so out of place. We gave up.

  last month i heard a talk from a c.o.

  he mentioned that the door to door service will come to an end.

  he said that jehovah will tell us to stop it, eventually.

  It died for many after 1995 when they stopped seperating the sheep from the goats. It sort of took the wind out of their sails. When the the generation thing went kablooy most have been going through the motions. When they lose 1914 it will become the work of hardcore zombies only.

  Penn State pays for covering up Sandusky crimes, BIG TIME

  this sends a clear message to other universities who may be harboring child molesters.. excerpt:.

  the sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport.

  but the ncaa hit penn state with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years.. other sanctions five years' probation, and the ncaa also said that any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.. ncaa president mark emmert announced the staggering sanctions at a news conference in indianapolis.

  Really?

  “It definitely hurts,” former quarterback Michael Robinson told ESPN.

  “We all worked hard, especially the time that we were there and I’m sure other football players that played under Joe during that time worked for those wins," Robinson said. "Joe worked hard for those wins. The coaching staff, the fans, the alumni who stayed supporting us definitely worked hard during that time to put a good product on the field, to really work hard at playing football.”

  I guess Michael Robinson wouldn't agree with you.

  How many hundreds of innocent young men played football without the knowledge that there was any wrongdoing by Sandusky or his gang of thieves? How many won championiships after playing their hearts out? How many of these young men would have turned in Sandusky had they known or any of these enablers for what they did? They didn't get a chance to do anything and yet they have been stripped of what they earned. Isn't there some sort of abuse there? Its the baby with the bathwater self righteous over kill happening here. Take the bastards to court but don't make more kids, albeit older ones, suffer for the sins of others.
