Hubble Unveils a Galaxy in Living Color
by teejay inin this view of the center of the magnificent barred spiral galaxy ngc 1512, nasa hubble space telescopes broad spectral vision reveals the galaxy at all wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared.
the colors (which indicate differences in light intensity) map where newly born star clusters exist in both "dusty" and "clean" regions of the galaxy.. this color-composite image was created from seven images taken with three different hubble cameras: the faint object camera (foc), the wide field and planetary camera 2 (wfpc2), and the near infrared camera and multi-object spectrometer (nicmos).. ngc 1512 is a barred spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of horologium.
located 30 million light-years away, relatively "nearby" as galaxies go, it is bright enough to be seen with amateur telescopes.

Should People Be Disfellowshipped?
by Frenchy ina reply i made on another thread prompted me to post this.
i was going to do so on the other thread but that was really not the topic and i didn't want to corrupt it by flying off on another tangent.. i have no problems with disfellowshipping from an organization such as jehovah's witnesses.
i don't think a person should be allowed to remain within an organization while practicing things that are condemned by that org., things which they, themselves profess not to believe in.. my objection is to the shunning.

MAD AS A HATTER - C. T. RUSSELL ?
by freeman inim kind of new here so please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but has anyone given serious thought to the fact that poor old charlie, resting we hope in peace under his pyramid, was a victim of mercury poisoning; a victim as we are now victims of his religious delusions?
if true, this sure would explain a lot.. just a few quotes about the effects of mercury poisoning upon haberdashers, i.e.
hat makers such as c. t. russell was:.

35 Years Ago At Work
by Undecided ini was looking through some old pictures and ran across this one of me at work.. .
notice the old ibm model 40 mainframe computer.
you had to load the programs from a deck of cards which had an object deck(a source deck compiled) and the control cards, which assigned the tape drives and disk drives(also the tracks you were using on the hard drive).

Holy S*** visit tomorrow from the PO
by freeman inif you folks recall, a while back i went ballistic when my boys told me they were going to now shun both their newly dis-fellowshipped friends because that is what the society said is the loving thing to do.
sick!
anyway, i informed the father of the two boys, an elder, that my younger unbaptized son (12) will no longer be studying or going to the meetings because i dont want him to participate in or have his young mind twisted by such unscriptural teachings.
