King was full of Krap!

I think he felt some of his prophesies would have come true by now.

It's so easy to start believing in your own garbage. It's called the "transcendental seduction"

Some people need what JW's have to offer. They may need the illusion of security for a confusing time in their life.

Give it two years. People usually take a couple years to work through personal turmoil. If he doesn't start moving back toward you

in two years - then you have to respect his decision.

Adolesence is all about establishing your pesonal identity "in opposition to one or both parents."

The real self is found later.

Is your son more like your side of the family or your wifes side of the family. There is usually a strong hereditary component to the direction they take.

Just go bankrupt. Do it yourself. It will keep you busy until your check comes. There is nothing wrong with bankruptcy. You never asked to play the game. It just means a bunch of overpaid doctors lose 1% of their income.

Message me. I can walk you through the process.

The Rise Of America's Lunatic Fringe

every once in a while, you read an article that really puts it all together (or spot on, as some would say).

ever on the fringe,.

I consider myself both open minded and skeptical. Let me explain how I got fooled lately.

I don't like Obama. He is not a leader. He's a law professor. Professors like to profess ie. sound authorative. He knows he's good looking. He knows white people are still under the spell of the perfect Huxtable (Cosby) family image. He's not liberal or progressive. He only wanted to get elected to two terms because that seals his legitimacy.

So I pick up a book about Obama knowing it was written by a conservative with an ax to grind. I like reading things by people I don't agree with.

Then I read this juicy morsel that fit into my personal contempt for Obama. The book says Obama brazenly gave the Queen of England an Ipod loaded with his speeches.

Perfect. This is the Obama I like to hate. So I pass it by my liberal friends who all know that I'm a communist by temperament. I want to show them what the "bougie" liberals are like.

Woe is me. I forgot to fact check the book. I searched on Obama/Ipod/Gift/Queen and found out that she requested an Ipod as a gift because even though she had one already she didn't have one with video capabilities. So the Obama crew gave her an Ipod with movies of her visit to the United States and also a video of her favorite Musical - Oklahoma. Also he installed numerous show tunes. .... and YES he included some of his speeches.

Now I had to call all my liberal friends and tell them I made a mistake. Now I look like a fool. Of course I am a fool. I was fooled. I could have let all this go and not tell my friends. They probably wouldn't even do the research I did to try to verify my statments. But I felt obligated to myself to set this straight for my own self respect.

This is a case where a half truth is worse than a bald face lie. Intuition can usually detect a lie. But a half truth sneaks right in there. I swallowed it down because it confirmed my feelings about Obama.

And that's what goes on with the Lunatics and religionists. They simply want to believe what they already believe because ambiguity is so hard to deal with.

It Appears The Elderly Are More Taken Care Of Then Ever Before By The Elders

i usually find fault with the religion but i must give credit when due.

in the hall my mom is in, they regularly check on her and assign different ones to visit and check on the elderly.. if there's a storm or an extremely cold day, they come by to make sure the elderly have everything they need..

scotoma

So what. They get an eagle badge. Why is eveyone so interested in helping elderly people who are sitting on a pile of cash and live in a 4 bedroom house while their children pay high social security taxes and can't even pull together a down payment for a house.
