  Tea Partiers Say They Would Absolutely Abolish Social Security

  by sammielee24 in

  please, please, please let the libertarians, republicans and their offshoot the tea party, run on this issue.

  oh my heavens what a joy it would be to line up all the runners and tell half of the americans - the vast majority of those who actually live on their social security, that they want to take it away.

  abolish it.

  Amazing... Tea Baggers can't see past the nose on their face.

  Very short sighted. Lacking in retrospection.

  JW Science Quote (1-15)

  2. friends

  almost anyone who has ever attended the jw annual commemoration of the "lord's evening meal" (memorial) has heard the term "equinox" at least once.

  the term is important to jws because they use the vernal equinox in attempting to set the correct date for this event.

  despite how important it seems to be though, when jw literature explains the term, it is usually wrong.

  To give you an idea of just how stupid JWs are:

  When I was in high school I took an Astronomy class. (Studying the planets, stars and galaxies with telescopes)

  The elders were alerted because many in the congregation did not know the difference between Astronomy and Astrology.

  > equinoxes; that is, the days and nights are of equal length in every place on the earth ."

  They say things like this because JWs are uneducated morons.

  they had better wine glasses at this hall, but otherwise everything was the same.

  we had one at our hall last year.

  so the people in the side rows get to hold the wine glass twice.

  > So when the greeters spotted me at the door, I was pegged: either a visiting Witness (rare) or an apostate (scare). I casually mentioned the name of my congregation, plus I had the new song book. At least I relieved their tension.

  And THAT is how you know it's a cult. You can't even walk in the door without being interrogated regarding who you are and why you are there.

  I challenge you to find the same thing happen at a normal church. Everyone is welcome in all of the other normal churches... even for Mass and Christmas Midnight Mass. Anyone can walk in without anyone giving it a second thought.

  last time i went to cvs pharmacy, they had a big a sale sign for this haircolor for men.. do men really care if the are getting grey hair?

  for women, the pressure is to do every thing you can to hide it, if your hair starts.

  to turn grey.

  I've put it on my beard a few times because my beard is turning grey.

  I was not very impressed with the results. I still looked gray.

  Do you believe in reincarnation?

  by TastingFreedom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", is the belief that the soul, after death of the body, comes back to earth in another body.

  according to one belief, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but the soul remains constant throughout the successive lives.[1].

  belief in reincarnation has ancient roots.

  Yes. I have had "past life memories".

  In my last life I was a house fly.

  I recall being a larva, squirming around eating the rotting remains of my yet previous life self (before I was a fly I was a platypus). As a platypus I was a stowaway on a ship that happened to be floating past Washington DC. I was found out and stomped to death by a Korean sailor.

  I finished being a fly larva and flew off the ship and headed inland.

  As an adult fly I flew around someone's house and was swatted dead by President Nixon.

  All my life I have suspected I will die a sudden, violent and unexpected death.
