This makes me really sad. :(

I never thought I'd miss the Lutherans this much.

I can't believe they sold out like this. They're dead to me.

You know who else tried to kill off a whole religious group?

Actually, I don't know. I was hoping someone could tell me.

You have a year?

Hey now.


gp for TotP!

Aah, you work at NNSY. Cool! I work at NSWCCD in Philly.

SO Gary in case you did not notice it, I just did a Ghost post that brought up 10 previous posts and one that was post after I posted mine.

Have we broke it yet?


I believe.

Hey now.

Actually, there were several groups and individuals who were guilty of this.

Cool.

Things are a little stiff at NNSY because the commander just got relieved due to a loss in faith in his ability to command. :(

I was going to ask if there was any such thing as too much, but I've had ppl I thought were close friends dump off my FB page because my content was overwhelming or they realized how out there I can get and they had no idea once I actually spoke in a medium beyond their control.

Other then a few cults who ended themselves and an emperor or two who tried to kill off groups he did not agree with. I am ignorant of another group actually accomplishing it.

NNSY

Norfolk Naval Shipyard. However, it is not in Norfolk but is in Portsmouth, one of many cities in the Hampton Roads area. The definition of a road being something like a place where ships pulled into and is a term dating back hundreds of years.

NSWCCD

Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division

It is in Philly but you will have to ask AZ about it.

I don't think anyone ever actually accomplished it, per se. China and Japan have some (ancient) history of eradicating non-state religions. Again, to your emperor point...

It depends on which Portsmouth you are speaking of. However, I think they are all connected in some way such as through Hell. :)

Oh I think we accomplished it very well, at least once. Not to mention several smaller groups who died off, with the exception of neo revivals.

Firefly was awesome... Brown Coats Forever!

Dollhouse was quite interesting too.

It's sad that his later shows didn't really get the chance to come into their own. They were just done introducing everything and never really got to expand on their storylines. :(

I've watched none of those programs. Just Serenity, the movie. That's it.

When I first saw the PFC story, I thought it was just a mere amusing coincidence when I pointed it out to the Prof. Now that I know otherwise; that's not cool. I'm waiting for the Monkey's review.

Which reminds me, I need to throw that into my d/l's on here.

I liked Buffy more than Angel. Buffy started kinda, 'meh' and steadily got better (with a few stumbles). Angel started strong then started to bomb after a couple seasons, only getting REALLY good in the last 4 or 5 episodes.
