subcultures
by joelbear insociology is fascinating.. here at this board we have a subculture of a subculture, similar to bears (gay hairy men) who are also a subculture of a subculture.. i participate in boards for both groups and they are remarkably similar.
there are the people who post long drawn out posts pontificating about this or that.
there are snipers who do nothing but try to derail threads.

seat saving
by joelbear inif the society really wanted to make some dough, they would release a book covering the art of seat saving.. several times we had people move our stuff and just take our seats.
we had 9 in our extended family so we usually took up a good amt of space.
the men in the family went early to get seats so the girls could stay home and get ready.

funny bethel stories
by joelbear inthought i'd share some of the adventures.. one day we had roast beef at lunch which was one of the more delicious meals at bethel.
i used roast beef to make sandwiches for the evenings and weekends.. the rule was, you were allowed to go to any table after dismissal to take leftovers.
i was approaching a table with a full dish of roast beef when a sister rushed up and grabbed the dish and took off with it.

outcome of humanity
by joelbear ini posted this in another thread where is was out of place, but i wanted to get peoples thoughts.. i think there are 3 possible next steps to human evolution and therefore to human society as a whole.. 1. humanity is sublimated by technology.
that is, humanity programs themselves into electronic format or are replaced by very humanlike machines which can replicate themselves.
bill joy, chief scientist at sun microsystems and others point to this as a possibility so its not a far fetched as it sounds.. 2. humanity becomes extinct.

Life without God

confused as usual
by joelbear inyou know placed the following quote in one of his responses.. 'if now the godly man is being saved with difficulty, where will the sinner make a showing.
' what's the answer?
what happened to salvation being a free gift and "come and drink life's water free.
