You have stated: "One may note that light exists more in darkness than the narrow perceptible band in the spectrum that we are able to see." My point is that you are referring to "darkness" and "spectrum" in a synonymous manner. That's semantically inaccurate. It makes the analogy invalid. That, in itself, has nothing to do with proving or disproving the Bible.

BUMP! http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.ph...l=jim%20mullins

Philosophical and theological considerations aside, this really doesn't represent "light". It represents energy, the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation. Light is only a part of the spectrum. Visible light represents roughly the area between 380nm and 750nm. One certainly does not think of radio waves as being "light" yet they are part of this same spectrum. The spectrum is not a measure of light (or darkness), but, rather, a way to understand the relationship of various wavelengths with one another.

Some of us did, Pond. Some of did. (Except for the part about having "special answers".)

This describes Fellow Laborers to a tee. While it was a requirement of the program to have a "9-5" secular job, we were instructed to use those jobs as a vehicle to witness, use our breaks and lunch to sign people up for PLAF (The Wonder Class) and turn our leads over to local leadership for "undershepharding" purposes. If the job was such that it didn't allow for that, we were to find another job. Outside of that 8 hour time slot time in the outside world, every other moment of our lives was focused on the "program" from 5am until midnight, every day. All 50 of us lived in a block of 8 rented townhouses 30 minutes away from limb HQ. We were on the outskirts of town. There were no phones (except the very public phone at The Wayside Truck Stop) Almost any call being made was subject to long distance charges that none of us could afford. We didn't have T.V.s. There was no time to read periodicals. We were forbidden to date outside the program. It was hard to witness to people at work when you didn't even know what was on T.V. or happening in the outside world. Our existence was, indeed, isolated. We knew precious little of what was going on in other areas of TWI or anywhere else, for that matter. We really didn't have any way to know what "normal" was anymore.

Happy happy and a Merry merry!

Don't be fooled. There's a female counterpart as well. Their called "gold diggers". They shower men with attention and affection, compliment their good points and offer a feigned sympathy for their misfortunes. All the while they have an ulterior motive of gaining material abundance and financial security for themselves, their children or both. And, unlike women, men are much more reluctant to reveal their naivete to anyone. They feel foolish to have been duped and even more foolish admitting it. Are these women sociopaths? I don't know. Maybe manipulator or opportunist would be a more fitting title. Gold digger seems to describe it well, though.

Thanks

The phenomenon is not gender specific, that's for sure.

Thank you all for your responses. I already put a $4-5 fan in it after my son gave me the computer. Heck, there wasn't even a shipping charge. :) What I don't understand is, why, after this fan made a clamor for 2 or 3 weeks, it is now suddenly quiet as a mouse. There is no overheating either.

Around here it's been reduced to just finding a job------ANY job!

Nobody knows this one??? I'm amazed. (And a bit embarrassed since the whole idea is that the song will be instantly known by the first line.) It's Heart Of Stone by The Rolling Stones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL7vh74bx7c I guess somebody gets a free post since I failed to deliver.

It's never "officially" the holiday season until you hear Back Door Santa at least once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4d4bprC568

O.J.T. (On The Job Training) Not much opportunity for gaining any using the The Way System of Theology. If someone has a serious problem, blame it on their believing or their walk. Get rid of them and look for someone who'll sign "The Green Card". Sure, there were people in The Way who ministered in a genuine sense. They risked reprimand to do so. I don't fault those people for a second. It was the TWI system itself that was corrupted and discouraged helping people in a real sense. The system was at fault.

My son bought a Dell Dimension 4700 a few years ago. About a month after he got it the fan started making an ungodly racket but didn't seem to be overheating. Technician came right to the house and fixed it, no charge. About a year later, he got a laptop and gave me the Dimension. A week later it did the same thing. I bought a replacement fan on-line for 4 or 5 dollars, put it in and the problem was solved. Fast forward another 10 or 11 months. The same thing happens again so, after listening to it for 2 or 3 weeks, I bought another fan. The very day it arrived, the fan stopped making noise though it was running. That was 3 weeks ago and still no noise or overheating. Almost like it healed itself. Any thoughts?

What are the "therapists" credentials? "Therapist" is Scientology jargon that is synonymous with "auditor", which is their equivalent of a minister. Here's a little bit on what one might expect a Scientology "therapist" to do. http://www.e-meter.org.uk/page02.htm

Hey there, Smokey75 I don't work for the CIA. I just happened to notice your birthday at the bottom of the page under your old handle.

There's been so many girls that I've known

Rock on!

And if you do manage to get an interview, they ask you something crazy like, "Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?" At almost 60, you would think the answer would be obvious.

You say yes--I say no
