It's actually quite passable although I always preferred aftershock (so called because it continues fermenting inside your stomach after you've drunk it!)

However 2 2 friends went to the cinema and drank a whole bottle between them, one woke up in hospital the other woke up in a field having his face licked by a horse, neither had any idea what had happened!

I thought it was the wormwood that made it halucanagenic and the absinthe that you buy in the UK and most of western europe IIRC does not contain it.

A Star Falls From Heaven

28 “And the third angel blew his trumpet. And a great star burning as a lamp fell from heaven, and it fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters. And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third of the waters turned into wormwood, and many of the men died from the waters, because these had been made bitter.” (Revelation 8:10, 11) Once again, other parts of the Bible help us to see how this scripture applies in the Lord’s day.

29 We have already met the symbolism of a star in Jesus’ messages to the seven congregations, in which the seven stars symbolize the elders in the congregations. (Revelation 1:20) Anointed “stars,” along with all others of the anointed, inhabit heavenly places in a spiritual sense from the time that they are sealed with the holy spirit as a token of their heavenly inheritance. (Ephesians 2:6, 7) However, the apostle Paul warned that from among such starlike ones would come apostates, sectarians, who would mislead the flock. (Acts 20:29, 30) Such unfaithfulness would result in a great apostasy, and these fallen elders would come to make up a composite man of lawlessness that would elevate himself to a godlike position among mankind. (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4) Paul’s warnings were fulfilled when the clergy of Christendom appeared on the world scene. This group is well represented by the symbol of “a great star burning as a lamp.”

30 John sees this particular star falling from heaven. How? The experiences of an ancient king help us to understand. Speaking to the king of Babylon, Isaiah said: “O how you have fallen from heaven, you shining one, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth, you who were disabling the nations!” (Isaiah 14:12) This prophecy was fulfilled when Babylon was overthrown by the armies of Cyrus, and its king made an abrupt descent from world rulership to shameful defeat. Thus, a fall from heaven can refer to losing a high position and falling into ignominy.

31 When the clergy of Christendom apostatized from true Christianity, they fell from the lofty “heavenly” position described by Paul at Ephesians 2:6, 7. Instead of offering fresh waters of truth, they served up “wormwood,” bitter lies such as hellfire, purgatory, the Trinity, and predestination; also, they led the nations into war, failing to build them up as moral servants of God. The result? Spiritual poisoning of those who believed the lies. Their case was similar to that of the unfaithful Israelites of Jeremiah’s day, to whom Jehovah said: “Here I am making them eat wormwood, and I will give them poisoned water to drink. For from the prophets of Jerusalem apostasy has gone forth to all the land.”—Jeremiah 9:15; 23:15.

32 This fall from the spiritual heavens became apparent in the year 1919 when, rather than Christendom’s clergy, the small remnant of anointed Christians was appointed over the Kingdom interests. (Matthew 24:45-47) And from 1922 that fall was dramatized when this group of Christians renewed their campaign of frankly exposing the failings of the clergy of Christendom.

33 Outstanding in this connection was the proclamation made at what The Golden Age magazine described as “the greatest convention of Bible Students held during the ages.” This convention assembled in Columbus, Ohio, July 20-27, 1924. No doubt at the direction of the angel that sounded the third trumpet, a forceful resolution was there adopted and later 50 million copies were distributed as a tract. It was published under the title Ecclesiastics Indicted. A subheading presented the issue: “The Seed of Promise Versus the Seed of the Serpent.” The Indictment itself roundly exposed Christendom’s clergy on matters such as their taking of high-sounding religious titles, their making commercial giants and professional politicians the principal ones of their flocks, their desiring to shine before men, and their refusing to preach to the people the message of Messiah’s Kingdom. It emphasized that every dedicated Christian is commissioned by God to proclaim “the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.”—Isaiah 61:2, KJ.

34 Since the third angel started to blow his trumpet, the clergy’s position of dominance among mankind has been slipping until, in this day and age, very few of them retain the godlike powers they enjoyed in former centuries. Because of the preaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses, great numbers of people have come to realize that many doctrines taught by the clergy are spiritual poison—“wormwood.” Furthermore, the clergy’s power in northern Europe is almost spent, while in most Eastern European lands, as well as in China, the government strictly curtails their influence. In Catholic parts of Europe and in the Americas, the clergy’s scandalous behavior in financial, political, and moral affairs has sullied their reputation. From now on, their position can only get worse, since soon they will suffer the same fate as all other false religionists.—Revelation 18:21; 19:2.

35 Jehovah’s plaguing of Christendom is not yet finished. Consider what happens after the fourth trumpet blast.

This is false. In reality, the fastest passenger airliner was the russian built Tupolev 144, it was quite a bit faster than the concorde, and slightly less reliable.

speaking of Russian aircraft, did you know that the Soviet Union had a space shuttle program? It was cancelled around 1990 due to funding problems. They had only made a few radio controlled laps in orbit, so no one ever got to fly that beuty either .

Whoa, I'm in Sydney and I havn't seen it anywhere. Perhaps it was just a temporary display at a museum? Where did you see it? I'd be interested in a look if it's still here.

When we were in Sydney, back in Sept 2001, the exhibit was near Darling Harbor and Star City. It was really cool because you could climb inside the crew compartment and sit in the cockpit. Sadly, it sounds as if the exhibit is closed and perhaps the shuttle is stranded there by the harbor.

Did you know that in the '90s Amtrak was looking for a new kind of train for their "northeast corridor" CappnZ might know what this is, but iThink it's actually south of JT.

They tested the German InterCityExpress (ICE) train....

It wasn't as fast as what is today known as "Acela" and on a tour of the country, they had to use the ONLY 2 GM F-69PH-AC diesels to pull it all around...

BOY that looked silly one of those dualheaded (one on each end) electric trains being pulled around by these 2 huge diesels...

The Northeast Corridor is between Washington, DC and Boston (NYC to Boston electrified just a couple of years ago).

I've never seen those F69-PH ACs, nor any F59s either--they were used on the West Coast.

/Mr Lynn

The F59-Ps are really nice... they are the same level as the bi-level coaches in the west, and the Talgo trainsets in the Pacific NorthWest.

Fun fact: even as UP started running trains with diesel engines to pull them, the Big Boys were used to replace up to four (!) diesels.

Warning beware of the Jehovah's wittiness cult. I was brought up in this cult as a child and it has done nothing but destroyed my family. If you know anyone who is studying with them please do your best to get them away before there brain washed by them. Here are some of the brain washing tactics they use.

1) Bad association spoils useful habits.

They use this scripture a lot. Basically when you start studying with them and going to there church, they drill this into your head. What they mean by this is that anyone not in there religion is considered bad association or another one of there terms "worldly". Slowly they get you to break ties with friends who are not of there religion and replace them with people going to there church. Now if you ever decide to leave there religion you then become bad association and they all turn there backs on you. You can't imagine what it feels like to loose all your friends in one day.

2) There bible

When you start studying with them they will try subtly to get you to use there version of the bible. There version of the bible is called "The new world TRANSLATION" When you start going to there church you will find that they refer to the bible of king James as the "King James VERSION". This is a brain washing technique. Think about it would you rather use there TRANSLATION or the King james VERSION.

3) "The truth"

They often refer to there religion as "The truth". So what there basically saying is that everything else is a lie. Need I say more.

4) Walking around with there eyes closed

They use this term to refer to people not within there religion. What they mean by this is that every chance you get you should try and get people to open there eyes and see "The Truth". The thing about this is, is that they are the ones who are close minded about other religions. In fact it is greatly discouraged to read anything that contradicts there beliefs.

I'm not going to bore everyone here with a long drawn out post nor do I want to turn this thread into a religious one. If you want to learn more about the evils of this cult there is plenty of web pages you can find by doing a search. Please understand this is not a personal attack on anyone here it's just a general warning. I will not be responding to this thread again nor will I ever talk about religion again on this board.

A personal note to The Lightning Stalker
I wish you the best of luck in your life but I hope you will one day use the internet to find out the real truth about the organization you affiliate yourself with. If your beliefs are as strong as you think they are then you should have no problem with testing your beliefs. According to the JW's I have just committed the only sin that will never be forgiven, talking against the JW's. I hope you find the courage one day to free yourself just as I have.
SM

I try to keep myself just living by my own standards.

I've been to a church before, it wasn't even one of the 'cults' or anything... really singy people... its just that it's really scary to hear some of the things that 'god cured' 'god let happen' 'god gave me this'

and even weirder.... I wonder why only in the multi-god religions (i know there's a technical term for it) is there female gods....

I say! we must start a new religion call it Glayvenism and have lara croft be our god...

Or not,.....
