Unlikely Place For a JW Reference
by TD inprobably a useless piece of trivia, but then i have a trivial mind..... unless i'm color blind, two of the band members in rammstein's recent music video, deutschland, are depicted as bible students.. from left to right, oliver riedel wears a pink triangle, (homosexual) paul landers wears a yellow star of david, (jewish) till lindemann wears a yellow & purple star of david (jewish bible student) and christian lorenz wears a simple purple triangle (gentile bible student).

My Conversation With JW's Last Night
by TD inthe subject was how long humans have been on the earth.

Front Page of Imgur Last Night
by TD instumbled across this by accident and was mildly surprised:.

there's a "tipping point" phenomenon on the internet, where people and organizations that nobody knew about before, (like martin shkreli, for example) suddenly become the butt of every joke in the 30 and under crowd.

JW's and Violence
by TD inmy wife and i have recently gotten hooked on the history channel's series, vikings.
(my wife is full blooded norwegian....).
to be honest, the show is quite graphic in spots, but certainly no more so than a history book i own of the same time period.. anyhow, we made the mistake of mentioning the show if front of jw's last night and they were all thoroughly shocked that we watch it.. i tried pointing out that big chunks of the ot are not materially different and that even the confrontation between david and goliath would get an 'r' rating if it were visually portrayed in any detail at all.

This Year's Memorial
by TD inperhaps i'm just getting older and crankier, but it really seems to me that the jw faith is deteriorating at an accelerated rate.. case in point: this year's memorial talk.
it was one of the most incoherent messes i've ever heard.
(and i've heard a lot of memorial talks over the last 50 years....).

Stapelia
by TD instapelia is a genus of south american succulents that make unusual looking flowers:.
besides the appearance, these flowers are interesting because instead of being pollenated by bees, they are pollenated flies.. so instead of giving off a sweet scent to attract bees, all but one species gives off the smell of decaying flesh.. stapelia blooms are sometimes called carrion flowers for that reason.. (this one was blooming in my house this morning and i had to put it outside....).
this raises an interesting question regarding the jw faith:.
