I really think women that large should be assigned their own postal code. I have seen women SO FAT ( How fat were they?) that they had lesser fat women on orbit around them. I once got a traffic ticket for injuring an extremely fat woman crossing the street, but was found "not guilty" in court, after I explained I did not have enough gas to go around her. In English, the acronym for "Circuit Overseer's Wife" ...... is COW.

It's really quite simple ... when they sit down to a chicken dinner they eat entire "overlapping generations".

Of course, reality changes when you enter Wal-Mart .........

I guess the wives carried the camping gear .....

If you have a picture of it, and an article about it ... the village is NOT hidden.

A multi-billionaire can stay in a $20,000 a night hotel, and not even notice the expenditure.

Apparently the student surveys reflecting as a general rule their complete satisfaction with the course, after it was completed, counted for NOTHING. Having tried Real Estate Myself, I keep up, and 90% of everyone who tries it fails, as did I. Boooo friggin' Whoooo ... and alas ... I have no one to blame .... except myself. Not even Hildabeast Clinton, who is guilty of EVERYTHING .... ... except that.

There is an old American Indian saying .... "Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins". Apparently the picture depicts the shoe thief guy ....... also took his clothes.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ... headline news from the Babylon Bee Religious Newsletter .... In Response To Growing Number Of Fistfights, London Mayor Bans Hands Movement That Demands Forceful Silencing Of All Opposing Viewpoints Unsure Why Nation So Divided Toddler Brandishing Play-Doh Pocketknife Apprehended By UK Police ‘The Bachelor: Christian Edition’ To Follow Man Through 20 Seasons Wallowing In Singles’ Ministry Facebook Staffers Coach Mark Zuckerberg On Humanlike Behavior Ahead Of Congressional Testimony Introvert Fires Off Smoke Bomb To Escape Church Greeting Time Perfectly Good Bonfire Ruined By Worship Leader Who Just Happened To Have His Guitar Mall Shoppers Suddenly Realize They’re Actually At Megachurch Landscaper Accidentally Trims Church’s Hedge Of Protection Pastor Firing Self Out Of Cannon Suddenly Realizes He Is Going To Have To Top This Next Week

As my wife and I are preparing to adopt five children, and knowing historically how many elders' children have abandoned the Truth, for whatever reasons there might be, common to mankind ... the thought occurred to me ... Were all of the Apostles Single? If any were married, how did they balance their responsibilities to their families, with the field ministry? If they were in the Ministry, were they supported by the congregations from the Apostles money box ... and were their families also supported as they rove about ministering about the Good News? If so, that would indicate a paid clergy ! I suppose it all hinges on he first question. WERE ALL OF THE APOSTLES SINGLE ?

California is progressing well, with all those "progressives" now in control, and the State being a TRILLION dollars in debt, human waste littereing the streets, and needles everywhere. I lived in Los Angeles ... Hollywood, actually, during the late 60's, and once went 90 days without food ... lost a hundred pounds, learned about Pawn shops and having 5 room mates, and sleeping on floors. Rather than have social workers ride the subways ....... Â Â

I remember just after he died, I was working in Atlanta, Georgia in a "Cube Farm" (Engineering Office), and while working, the office got deathly quiet ... and I looked up over the fabric partitions, and no one was there! Everyone had mysteriously disappeared. I started walking around to see what was happening, and met someone in the hallway coming my way. I asked him "Where IS everybody? My end of the Office is empty!" He said "Oh, they have all taken off for a Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial, in the park ...." It was then I realized he was a fine excuse for a gentleman, even though he ran around on his wife and had a mistress, as was discovered many years later. Not being politically astute at the time, I then realized the value of the man .... went out in the sunshine, and had some hot dogs from a street vendor in the park. I had a dream too ... of a Kosher Polish Sausage, with sauerkraut, and all the fixin's, and a tan. Sometimes you can't always get what you want ... but you get what you need.

I sure hope I don't get credit for some of the stuff I did when I was younger, with the very best of motives at the time ..... that screwed up peoples' lives. Perhaps there is a "Theocratic Statute of Limitations"? I hope so. Did you know that in the Military, there is a "Cannon Fodder Crisis? People are not signing up like they used to to catch bullets.

“ Gigantic dinosaurs frolicked and splashed some 170 million years ago in the lagoons of what is now Scotland. That’s what a team of paleontologists has determined after discovering dozens of jumbo-sized footprints belonging to long-necked sauropods on the Isle of Skye. ....... We’re actually seeing these dinosaurs interacting with each other and interacting with their environment,” he said. The team reported their findings Monday in the Scottish Journal of Geology. "

... a guy that has lived in Brooklyn his whole life ... and cannot comprehend the enormous damage this bill will cause. It SOUNDS good, but is just another brick in the wall turning Civilization into a zombie mausoleum. ... probably "for the children".

The only way that one person can keep a secret ... is if the others are dead. Assume EVERYTHING is compromised, all the time. I grew up in the 60's and jealously guarded everything about myself ... then I filled out a Mortgage application. "They" know EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY. Now... I just like to waste their time.

Nothing like sitting down after a big meat meal, with a big jar of mustard, and a straw.

Amen to THAT! It's called "caving to peer pressure" !

I enjoy my testosterone ! what little I have left, I use to grow ear and back hair, like the bald artist at the bottom left of the picture ! That goes to show you, even guys named Firpo, get a good punch in ... once-in-awhile.

AllenSmith: Ever heard of the concept of an "emotional bank account"? It goes something like this: You cannot just walk up to someone in a casual setting and say "Who are you? You might go up and say " Hi!, My name is Allen Smith, and I am from such-and-such congregation, and I am in town visiting relatives ... That is the deposit in the "emotional bank account". You now have something you can withdraw from that "emotional Bank account". Now, you can ask someone's name, because they have information on you that is meaningful. "May I ask you name?" (That is the "withdrawal".) Try it sometime. They are not going to use that information to target North Korean missiles to your house, or send the Mafia by to kneecap you. I go by my real full name, and tell many tales on myself, many disparaging and personal ... No. 1, because it doesn't really matter ... I will be quite dead too soon, the Universe will not even notice, and No. 2, sans actual missile attack, anywhere around me is a "safe space". This is not hand to hand combat with bayonets ... this is conversation via photons on a monitor ... NO MORE. We can battle to the death in the Arena of Ideas ... sigh if we win or lose ... get up from our chairs, and go have dinner. Lighten up. You will live a lot longer, and be a LOT happier.  Â

AllenSmith: I bet you are a LOT of fun at parties! ... sorta like a bipolar clown with Tourette's syndrome.

It must have been quite clear, as Lassie ran off to get a rope, for Timmy, trapped in the well.

My guess is he is a Lawyer, working for the WTB&TS ... who would view valor and courage, and integrity as spiritually immature, as it does save money by denying Justice, and not preserve your life at any cost. I have asked him about that, on the last page, before, but he so far has declined to answer. It would be interesting to see if he will answer BOTH of your questions, and my suppositions.

The reason Superman's cape is so different from Jesus' cape is that when Jesus ascends, its fairly slowly, but when Superman takes off at hyper-sonic speeds, if he did not have the cape he has, the wind blast would rip his red "tighties" off. ( But he does have a nice shave ! In the old Superman comics he had to cut his beard growth in a mirror with his X-RAY vision. When he looked his best, about a 150 people in the neighborhood behind Clark Kent's Apartment, at 344 Clinton Street, in Metropolis, would get acute cancer.)

Actually Allen ... what was going on in the movie clip you posted, IN CONTEXT ... was magnificent, and is much to be admired by honest men of integrity and courage...... not spiritually immature children at all. You have never to my knowledge indicated what you do for a living ... where you work, or what you do .... may I assume from all your posts that you are somehow on the staff of the WTB&TS? My guess is that you are a Lawyer, working for them. That would explain a LOT!
