  I'm a cynical, sarcastic and curmudgeonly old bastard most of the time.

  but as i move into my early 50's i find i'm more and more comfortable in my thick, leathery hide.. please get it into your thick skull's that i don't insult or make snarky comments with the intent of hurting anyone's feelings.

  that being said, if your precious feelings are hurt it's probably your fault for being a prissy, over sensitive drama queen who can't defend his argument.. i do actually love you all, it's just that most of the time you spineless pussies really get on my nerves!.

  good god i feel better for that!

  Make your predictions!

  the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

  i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

  I predict that when round 2 of the 'Great Recession' kicks in (you ain't seen nothing yet folks) donations will totally dry up out of necessity. The troops will muddle on with encouragement to be well fed and warm, while the GB lives comfortably in Beth Sarim II and continues to spew out occasional new light via the web.

  Maybe they want to be all moved and comfy before the AGM because they are going to have to announce some 'bad-news' that might discourage the free-help and donation flow.

  Raining before the Flood?

  i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

  instead there was this mist that you have.

  never before or after this have i heard something like this.

  I wasn't there, but I am pretty sure it rained a couple of times on the earth before 2370 BC.

  ok, specifically he was talking about hitler.

  apparently he was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would kill him when he was a baby.. and he said "hell yeah !".

  but still wtf?

  Even if the question is ridiculous, why can't they just respond as dignified, serious adults?

  My wife has already mentioned (we are in Poland) that she had to wear her coat recently at the meetings. I'll ask her when she gets back (CO visit this week - should be normal temps) and also ask if they had any 'interesting' letters read from the platform about world wide rifs.

  Holy Grail of Free Energy Might be Possible

  by cofty in

  every chloroplast in every green leaf on planet earth is wonderfully efficient at absorbing energy from the sun.

  in combination with a complex protein enzyme h2o molecules are gently eased apart and combined with co2 to produce energy and oxygen.. a synthetic version of this process would make unlimited, clean cheap energy possible but it has so-far eluded chemical engineers.

  until now..... researchers at florida state university have discovered a method of using manganese oxide also known as birnessite to capture sunlight and then use that solar energy to create an oxidation reaction read more....

  so, i'll go first.. i dreamt last night that i was still at uni, i said goodbye to one of my lecturers.

  then ulrika jonsson (former weather girl, shooting stars captain, and swedish nymphomaniac) gave me a lift home in her car - wtf?!

  she kept trying to change the cd whilst trying to drive (reaching on the floor, looking for a cd).

  I seem to have very lucid wandering/lost dreams. Could be in an airport/super mall or even small town. No matter how hard I try, I can't get back to where I was. I just get further away or end up going in circles.

  The strange thing is that I recognize the dream and try to change the channel, but I can't.
