  I admit, abject and utter failure.....

  i tried, i thought i could make it work, it seemed so easy, but alas, in my project to turn a used $3 cigar box into a functional humidor i failed miserably.

  i never could make the box airtight enough and allow enough air to circulate through to keep the cigars moist enough with a passive humidifier.

  the humidity kept falling too low, i kept have to try to seal more edges of the box and eventually i started losing cigars.. i broke down today and bought a $40 humidor and in the space of just a few hours it is already keeping the cigars more moist and humid.. i failed.

  Oh, I like corona sized maduros and oscuros, the more robust and dark cigars.

  Nickolas, that sucks dude. I can't even imagine inhaling them and I used to smoke cigarettes to. The One single time I tried it felt like I got kicked in the chest.

  Hint of Lime, I wasted $10 and then went and bought a $40 humidor that after a day is working great. I'll survive the death and failure of this one project :)

  Hitler and the JW's...

  i'm sure it's been asked before, but i'll ask it again.

  after watching a ww2 movie, my dad came out with a random line..."what's special is that a small group of people known as the jehovah's witnesses stood up to him.

  now, my dad is a strong jw and i have left, so this was a blatant taunt.

  Well, besides the Jews, gay people, deformed people, mentally retarded people, other Germans that didn't support him etc.

  They had a "with us or against us" mentality, almost like the JW's.

  Are we still talking about cigars?

  We were. Fortunately, I don't need to dip the end.

  Asked a co-worker to join Egg and me for my BD dinner...

  by White Dove in

  he's a guy and upon request, he gave me his e-mail address so he could give me a yes or a no to my invitation to join us tonight for dinner.. after i asked him if he'd like to join us, he snickered and said i don't know.

  give me a couple of hours to think about it.

  i asked him four hours later if he had decided, yet, but he hadn't even thought about it yet.. i said that it's not a test question, no right or wrong answer.. he asked where and i said it's a nice place uptown.. he said that he needed to think about it because of the dress up thing.. i said he didn't need to dress up, that just slacks and a nice shirt would do.. that was two days ago, and i haven't heard back from him, yet, although i did e-mail him so he could let me know.. i'm the wheels for the evening, so i needed to know so i could pick him up, or not.. does no answer (seems like avoidance) mean no, or is there some other excuse that might (wanna say rescue his ass but won't say it) be plausible?.

  Is Annihilation of the Unrepentant Wicked Justice?

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all understand the justice argument against hell: the idea that god might decide that a wicked person's sins merit everlasting conscious punishment offends our sense of justice.. do even hitler's sins merit never-ending conscious punishment for all eternity?.

  we know that the wtbts takes an annihilationist view of the "everlasting" punishment described by the bible.. they teach that there is no separate "soul" or "spirit" that survives physical death and that the ultimate fate of the unrepentant wicked is annihilation by jehovah.. let's assume for the sake of argument that they are right.. is this justice?.

  over the years, the wtbts has flip-flopped on whether or not these wicked people will be resurrected for purposes of judgment or whether they simply will remain dead with no hope of any sort of resurrection.. let's look at various possibilities.

  Taking young virgins and marrying them isn't rape....last time I checked. Are you suggesting these young virgins did not want to marry? If so, how do you know this? And please supply the passages that regulate rape in the Mosaic law.

  True, it's kidnapping first. THEN it's rape.

  And no, I am not suggesting it, I am saying it. History is filled with examples of women taken against their will....unless...unless of course you are suggesting the Israelite virgins captured by the Babylonians WANTED to go and the Hebrews WANTED to be enslaved by the Egyptians or the Africans WANTED to be enslaved and captured by the white man or the native american women WANTED to be captured and kept by the white men.

  And as for the Mosaic Law, check out Deuteronomy 22:28-29, " If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."

  Or Deuteronomy 22:23-24, "If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife."

  What if you invited JWs to celebrate Festivus?

  i guess even unknown holidays are out, but really can someone have a serious argument against this since it's not serious to begin with?

  besides it kind of makes fun of christmas, although i could see someone potentially complaining that the aluminum pole is like a phallus...

  do you believe that just because you start your posts with, may you have peace, that you are genuinely kind?

  when in actuality, when you greet people with that message, then follow it with sarcasm and snide remarks, you are really being cruel.

  when was cruelty ever synonymous with being faithful?

  Hey now, calling out Shelby is MY job and I don't need help. Shelby and I talk rather frequently and now joke about it sometimes.

  Leave her alone.

  RAPE IS NOT IN THE BIBLE

  Of course it is. Taking young virgins of conquered nations as wives, for instance. There are also regualations in the Mosaic Law regarding rape. It's there.
