Young People Ask...
by Markfromcali inthe genetic manipulation thread got me thinking about this: as the times change, there will no doubt be more and more things the wts frowns upon, and these might be phrased in the ypa format similar to a list such as "you might be a redneck jedi if ..." so how about it?
i can't think of much now, but one elder once expressed that he didn't want his daughter to have a cd player.
it doesn't have to be technological, there's the social stuff... i know some of this has been done before so lets put it all in one thread!

Dr Who ... revenge of the BBC !
by Simon in.
the latest episode of dr who really made me laugh - the bbc script writers made some quite subtle but pointed digs at the government wo had previously 'won' (unfairly) after appointing their own judge as to whether the bbc or the government lied about iraq.. the pm got killed.. downing street got destroyed because of aliens with .... weapons of mass destruction that could be launched in 45 minutes seconds (which in the end turned out not to exist).
brilliant.

"I prayed for you"
by Scully inif you aren't a "believer", does it bother you when someone says "i'll pray for you" or "i prayed for you"?.
one of my colleagues is an incredibly kind and sweet person, and i know she says it because she believes she's doing something good on my behalf.
i always say "thank you for thinking of me", because i know that's the spirit she's intending to convey and that she cares about the situation i'm in vis-a-vis my jw relatives, but she knows i no longer believe in god (at least not in the sense that she does) - i wonder does she think that a few prayers are going to change my mind?

calling all young single men
by SixofNine in.
my divorce has been final for 5 years... and i have alot to offer.. namely: beer and pizza for anyone who will help me move or take a load of trash to the dump.
i don't really care if you're a liar or a cheat or even a hottie for that matter, and if you're an alcoholic, maybe you'll work harder for beer?

Irish Poteen - Anyone tried it?
by New Worldly Translation ini'm quite into spirits & liqueurs at the moment and always like to try a new tipple.
this irish poteen 90% stuff has piqued my interest but i was wondering if anyone had ever tried it and what was it like?
the strongest spirit i've had before was an austrian drink called stroh which wasn't that nice really and traded taste in favour of strength imo.
