How do I make my scrambled eggs moist but well cooked? I dunno, how many guesses do I get?

My recommendation (after a great deal of experimentation with various Tax Filer DVD's and web sites over a decade, and more), is to download the paper copies from IRS.GOV. , and the instructions, and go through it line by line. Make copies, and send the originals by certified mail, return receipt requested.

As much as I am amazed, entertained, and chagrined by TPT's (Tight Pants Tony's) thinking processes, sometimes I think of it a "Creepygate", I think "Bottlegate" is a tempest in a teapot ... that is to say .. much ado about NOTHING ! Absolutely NOTHING! WDS (Watchtower Derangement Syndrome) is a phenomenon that cuts BOTH ways ... from the inside, looking out ... and from the outside, looking in ... and in this case, the AGENDA DRIVEN THINKING from the outside looking in has severely clouded the thinking and reasoning abilities of the complainers. Agenda driven thinking is ALWAYS faulty. HOWEVER, that being said ... the video above is well worth watching.

I would of course be suspicious if the "special instructions" involved drinking grape kool-aid while witnessing in the jungle, and I might just pat my stomach, smile, and lie that I had just drank a half gallon of water. Thankyouveryverymuchbutno. Some things would be harmless to do if they made no sense, whatsoever .... others might get me killed ... and still others might cause harm to someone else, mentally, physically, or emotionally. Some thigs are just useless "busy work" to keep the troops occupied. I did not write any of the 64 MILLION letters to the Russian Federation, because I understood 1.) It was political activism, and 2.) It was a completely useless gesture, considering that NO ONE can, or would, or would even TRY to read 64 million letters, and it would just consolidate the Russkies being irritated, and have them think we are complete, total and and absolute fools, and 3.) I understood the Universal Postal Union Rules of Terminal Duty ... that they got 70% of the face value of the postage to deliver those millions of letters ... my estimate was $56,000,000, to supply them with 11 train boxcar loads of thin sliced firewood. ... Winter was coming, and it was "fuel at the proper time". It was a complete waste of time and resources .... and about 90 million dollars of the Brotherhood's money in postage ... 56 MILLION DOLLARS put into the Russian Federation Treasury .... and it was in actual fact an attempt to politically influence the Russian Court System. Complete with perhaps a ton of plausible deniability bribe money. The reason we HAVE a conscience is to serve as a guide for us when we run across new ideas and experiences. All that being said .... if they want me to put my hands under my armpits, and flap my elbows like chicken wings, and make rooster noises, I have no problem with that. ... that's just the way I am wired!

You can always tell those who successfully wage war against sin and criminal activity. They never die.

I have driven in traffic, in Lima Peru. It is like a hive of bees flying combat. They have traffic lights only because other countries have them. This sprinting accomplishment reminds me of the Texan who once bragged "It takes THREE DAYS to drive across Texas." The other guy said " Yeah .... I used to have a car like that".

As a practical matter in the real world, I do not care if his father was born on Mars.

Collateral damage is a fact of life .... in everything we do. It should not be ... but it is. It looks different when you have been interrogated in the back "ROOM 101". eleven times about things Jehovah cares NOTHING about. and threatened with censure or disfellowshipping.by people who can, and do destroy peoples' lives. With the finest of intentions, and full confidence of the righteousness of their reasoning. This is why the Watchtower is continually "pushing" that we forgive each other freely. So that we might forgive those Elders, and Governing Body. and not exact vengeance.

The most methane produced on Earth is by Volcanoes, which seem to not to want to cooperate with the people brokering and selling Carbon Credits, to promote Socialism through equalizing money throughout the Earth ... minus their 15% commissions, of course, like the companies Al Gore created to do exactly that .... and the second highest methane producers are Chinese rice paddies. None of which matters, because we live in an atmosphere that is about 21% Oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, and 1% other gasses, which are totally irrelevant ... including methane. The ONLY real "greenhouse gas" is plain old WATER VAPOR .... big mile deep clouds ... shiny on the top ... dark on the bottom .... like a giant floating space age blanket. The more clouds you have in the daytime the cooler it is. The more clouds you have in the night time, the warmer it is. Between belching and farting that's how cows tell jokes, in Stereo. Then ... I close my bathroom window.

What? Me Worry?

Although I personally would not care, one of your created multiple personalities might in fact come after you. It HAS been known to happen ... usually while someone is sleeping. May I suggest you start sleeping with a razor sharp hatchet under your pillow?

Alfred E. Neuman?

I am inclined to adopt the philosophy of Tarzan of the Apes, on vigilante justice. One night Tarzan was perched in a tree, watching a tribe below, and one man was awake, tending a giant stew pot that was cooking the bodies of a neighboring tribe that had lost a battle, and Tarzan drops silently to the ground, and from behind lifts the cook by his ankles and sticks his head in the boiling stew, and pushes him in. Although Jehovah God has never expressed any prohibition against cannibalism, Tarzan reasoned that even Great Apes (his family) did not eat each other, and neither should men. He obeyed the dictates of his NATURAL conscience, as created by author Edgar Rice Burroughs. The idea of taking someone back to "white man's justice". was totally foreign to Tarzan. Perhaps that is why the Society discourages education and reading anything other than it's own publications. Yet, on reflection, many, many dozens of times I have refrained from killing someone who SERIOUSLY needed killin'. I wonder if that makes me "more theocratic" ... or just a wimp.

I remember that interview.

My contribution to "Global Warming" is limited to accidentally leaving my bathroom window open. REMEMBER ! Every home, office, factory and other building that is heated ... every single one ..... without exception ... eventually loses that heat from the inside, to the outside. Think of 5 BILLION hot spots on the Earth, sucking up natural gas, oil, electricity, propane, coal and uranium, and turning it into HEAT! Even in the summer, air conditioners pump HEAT to the outside air. Now that you are excited, and hyper-ventilating in an ecological save the planet or we are all doomed panic .... what does that mean as a practical, real life matter? Absolutely NOTHING!

I saw the movie with my wife, and I could have done without those scenes ... but it helped to show what a scumbag pervert Freddie Mercury had become, even with, and in spite of his INCREDIBLE musical talent when combined with the OTHER musical talents of the rest of the Band. His perversions and excesses destroyed him and this incredible music, his Band, and eventually killed him, from AIDS. There were certain things about that movie I found repulsive, but I think to tell the story of the rise and fall of the band "Queen" it was important, and the truth enhanced the intellectual integrity of the movie. I personally would have NOT edited out those truly awful scenes. One thing I did learn from the movie was that each of the four Band members CONSTANTLY disagreed with each other about EVERYTHING, and that synergy is what made their music so profoundly GREAT! When Freddie Mercury went solo, and had people that agreed with everything he told them to do, and they did it ... his talent died as if snuffed out with a rag. It confirmed what I already knew .... that when everyone is speaking in agreement, it is clear evidence that NO ONE is thinking. In this case ... the Chinese censors.

It would have to be a small star sized chunk of iron .... probably not something you could get at an automobile scrap yard. Further, when a star collapses, it can go Nova, or Supernova, which is how we get elements heavier than iron. This is the natural life cycles of Stars, and there is NOTHING we can to to speed it up, slow it down, or ANYTHING ... except watch. I suspect in the New System, with perfect people, and 10,000 years of scientific advancement, this will STILL be true. Same with "Climate Change", AKA "Global Warming. There is nothing we can do except watch ..... and perhaps move to the mountains, or buy a boat.

Billy ... climate change may contribute to accelerated erosion ..... but accelerated erosion DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. "Everybody says" that because the CO2 levels are rising, the earth is getting warmer. THEY ARE WRONG The Earth is getting warmer because it is a natural cycle, due to orbital mechanics of our planet, and the variability of our Star, the Sun. BECAUSE it is getting warmer, bacteria is flourishing more than when it is cooler. Bacteria exhale CO2, just as we do. Then the trees use CO2, strip off the carbon to make wood, and exhale oxygen. You are fixated on erosion. There is an expression for this phenomena of perspective. "When you are a hammer ... EVERYTHING looks like a nail."

Coincidence is not causality. That's the thing about WDS ... it makes you see things that are not there .... a theocratic hallucination. A mirage. The remembrance of a favorite cartoon that was never actually made.

The hokey pokey, That's what it's all about.

Got it all covered! I don't believe anybody about anything. Works for me! ...... and a LOT less work!

I lived in Hollywood, California, up in the hills, on Pacific View Trail, for several years, and SAW several famous people, but had no interest in meeting them. I did have a race with Paul Newman, on Pacific Coast Highway, me on a Honda 350 motorcycle and him driving a Limo, circa 1969. We pulled up at a stoplight in Malibu, grinned at each other. I revved up my motorcycle ... he revved up his Limo, and when the light turned green we both roared North. I got up to 45mph, and dropped back ... he disappeared into the distance.. But technically .... I did race against Paul Newman.

Billy ..... you are the best I have ever seen at misapplying whatever anyone says. You take someone's key words and misapply them to fit your own agenda. ("Something missing from that fantasy of 283 million years of evolution....") In this case, the word "erosion", which you have mentioned several times, and has NOTHING to do with this conversation. This is a COMMON problem of ALL agenda driven thinking processes I said the piece of petrified wood I have is 283 million years old ... NOT that mankind was 283 million years old. When your ENTIRE thinking processes are controlled, governed, and shaped by AGENDA ... you can ignore a billion and more tons of HARD EVIDENCE. Agenda driven thinking ALWAYS results in theocratic hallucinations. Add that to negligible reading comprehension, and you live in a cartoon world, untouched by tawdry or magnificent reality.

All things change ... get used to it ! What used to be the sea bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, with all the fishes, large and small ... is now Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, and States North. With glaciers, what used to be the plains of what we now call Illinois and surrounding States is now the Great Lakes . The mighty Mississippi River was relocated when the land tilted by Earthquakes. At one time, the ENTIRE planet Earth was covered with two MILES of ice. Before that, molten lava 4,000 miles deep. The Earth is slowing down its rotation about 2 milliseconds every hundred years, as the Moon gets further and further away, at about 1-1/2 inches per year. I have in a bookcase here at home, a pie shaped section of a tree cut from a slice of a petrified tree that I bought in Arizona, where millions of trees lie on the ground, exposed by erosion, and it still has the rings and bark on the outside arc, replaced molecule by molecule, as the wood was replaced by minerals, and became stone. This tree fell to Earth in Nicaragua 283 MILLION years ago and at a small fraction of an inch per year was carried, with a whole forest of similar trees, by continental drift to what is now Arizona ..... where someone picked it up, cut it, and I bought it. The Earth is changing. Always has .... always will. What used to be jungles, are now deserts. What used to be deserts are now jungles. What used to be flat plains are now mountains. Mankind does not possess the ability to affect climate change ... one way or another. Not to cause it. Not to change it. Not to stop it. The only REAL greenhouse gas is water vapor ... a multi trillion ton collection of floating WATER. Clouds that circle the Earth, and float above your head ... shiny on the top ... dark on the bottom ... covering continents, nations and oceans. And of course, that ever present fusion reactor in the sky, 93,000,000 miles away, our variable star called The Sun. If we had a spasm total global thermonuclear war, setting the entire Earth on fire ... we would have a global nuclear winter for about four years, devastation almost beyond imagination. And then ... rain would wash the pollutants out of the air and it would fall to Earth as acid rain ... and in about ten years, the climate would return to what it was ... as determined by our Star, the Sun, and orbital mechanics .... whatever it is. Even with total global thermonuclear war, we cannot change the climate ... only the weather for about a decade. All things change ... get used to it ! If the sea levels rise ...... buy a boat! ... or move !

It may be as a practical matter almost impossible to "catch-up", Billy, but you need to spend a year researching what a bunch of fraudsters and fakers the IPCC is. There have been many documentations of their internal "bad science" ... BECAUSE ... they faked data to fit the fake models. If you spend now until about mid-2020 you might... MIGHT ... catch up. The key words to start with is "IPCC emails". https://www.foxnews.com/science/fastest-thinning-greenland-glacier-threw-nasa-scientists-for-a-loop-its-actually-growing?cmpid=NL_SciTech
