Joe's bookshelf..

[Joe]

Yes, I now have a huge bookshelf in my room. On it is many books, most of which I haven't read. I'll post about them as soon as I quit being lazy and actually open one up.

PS: Angels and Demons is still a good book.

[rabbit]

Lies.

[deadly7]

..And here I was expecting to see pictures.
Well, moved to your forum (aka off-topic).

[trust]

You should buy more such as: The Old Man And The Sea, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, The Lord of the Flies...

(from me I mean..)

[MyndFyre]

And Girls Gone Wild.

[Warrior]

And Girls Gone Wild.

Withought pictures, just your vivid imagination

plz /joke here.

[Joe]

Some books:


Jesus-related books: (Ironically, none of those are unabridged bibles. One is still in my backpack from when I brought it home from school, and one is on my nightstand along with Angels and Demons.)

[Warrior]

No programming books..that explains it all!

[Joe]

The programming books are in my other room, along with my hardware shelf. I'll go take some pictures of that, brb.

By the way, I took four pictures of my bookshelf so there's still two more to upload. I just didn't want to kill my bandwidth THAT much.

[deadly7]

...Artemis Fowl isn't a Jesus-related book.  You suck @ organizing books by the way.

[Joe]

Tiny Tots Library, Beginners Bible, and the three precious moments books are, though. Now added, NIV bible and precious moments "baby edition" NKJV bible. I hate NKJV. I can't understand it, let alone little kids..

[iago]

So wait, Curious George was religious?

[Joe]

Very. That's why he killed himself with a bottle of Ether.

Your school doesn't loan you the books?  That sucks, we never had to buy in highschool.  Although there are a lot of books that I read that I wouldn't mind owning now..

[d&q]

Our school loans us the books, but the teachers say it would be better to buy your own, because you can highlight important passages, takes notes, etc.

*sigh* Joe and his Jesus loving...

[Sidoh]

*sigh* Joe and his Jesus loving...

He didn't do anything to try to force his beliefs on you, so why do you have to ridicule him?  Totally uncalled for.

[Joe]

Hehe, Furious is cool about it, I'm nearly positive he's poking fun, not ridiculing. But hey, thanks for sticking up anyhow. <3 teh Sidoh. (Yes.. I am indeed sucking up).

It's just something I mess around with Joe about, I don't mean any harm and he knows it.  It's like you guys and your myspace hating. ;[

MYSPACE IS FOR NOOBS.
And Joe, I guess.

Humper sounds funnier!

[Joe]

I have enough bibles to go around. Would anyone like to thump the NKJV? It's hard to understand anyhow.

EDIT -
And deadly, by saying that myspace is for noobs and Joe, you are stating that I am not included in the noobs group. Thank you.

[Warrior]

He might be stating that calling you a newb might be a compliment. It is also evident that your level of loser-ness can only be achieved by Joe. Sort of an exclusive lamer group. *claps*

[Joe]

Ok.

EDIT -

Cleaning my room is fun, actually. Organized tons of books. Top shelf contains bible, bible, bible, mormon bible, kids bible (basically the bible in a way they can understand it. Jesus came and gave people food and they thanked him. etc). Children's bible stories, more children's bible stores, another book I can't tell from here, a religious sci-fi, and Holy Blood Holy Grail, which I have no intention of reading anytime soon.

The second shelf includes several general compsci reference books, including Windows 95 for Dummies and DOS for Dummies. I also have the original manuals for Windows 95 and DOS 6.21 Upgrade. On the opposite side I have the language reference for MS FoxPro and MS VB3, the programmer's guide for MSVB3, a MS book about QuickBASIC, a book about basic (basic, not BASIC) programming, VB5 for Dummies, and "The Mac X-Code Book" (on infinite loan from Tory).

Next shelf is two diablo strategy guides (one for each version) and several cases and spindles of CD's.

The next shelf is even more fiction books, notably the Harry Potter series, plus Quidditch Through the Ages and JK Rowling, the wizard behing the magic.

[iago]

Holy Blood Holy Grail, which I have no intention of reading anytime soon.

Why not?

[MyndFyre]

Eww, dump the mormon bible!

(says the guy who has like, two of them).

[Joe]

Holy Blood Holy Grail, which I have no intention of reading anytime soon.

Why not?

Because it's laid out as a book of fact, when truely it's misinformed. If it were a fictional story like The DaVinci Code I'd (maybe) read it, but this one I'd rather not.

Eww, dump the mormon bible!

(says the guy who has like, two of them).

My pastor told me to burn it. Personally I think he's being an extremist right there. I'm not planning on reading that either. Personally I think the dude was an attention whore, but if I get really bored I may open it up and see how insane the guy was. I just read the preface and it's clearly bull.

[dark_drake]

I watched the South Park episode on how the Mormon religion came to be.  It was hilarious. 

[MyndFyre]

I've used the Book of Mormon for research and apologetics (it's one of my study/interest areas).  I also have the D&C/PGP (Doctrine & Covenants and Pearl of Great Price), which are also fun reads.  One has to be careful reading them, though, that you don't confuse them for actual scripture. 

[Joe]

I realize what you mean in the be careful part. I often mix up Harry Potter fanficts with the actual book. =p

Yes, but the moral of that episode and the christian one were pretty good.

Signed.

I remember the part when they had that high-pitched angelic chorus, and they'd say something after each part of the story, and when they said, " Lies, lies, lies.. " or something along those lines I crapped my pants.

"Dum dum dum dum" (sounded like "Dumb dumb dumb dumb")

It's South Park... it doesn't have any sort of moral.

[Joe]

Sure it does. Everyone hates Kenny.

Do you watch South Park? 

More so in the recenter episodes, they have a very strong moral.  Most of the episodes are centered around some problem or belief in the US. 

[Sidoh]

Sorry: they don't have a reasonable or justifed moral.  If they do, the proposed solution is stupid or unreasoned.  Take, for example, their multitues of insults on religion.  They can make fun of them all they want, but they're not proving anything by doing so.

Let me explain Satire to you.  The creators of South Park take an issue to the extreme, even ridiculing it.  By ridiculing it, they force people to think about it.  The point of most episodes is to get people to think of issues. 

For example, the "Me and my future self" episode takes parents' unwillingness to talk to their children about drugs/alcohol to the extreme by showing the parents hiring somebody to pretend to have come back for the past.  The moral isn't "You shouldn't hire an actor to pretend to go back in time", it's "be direct with your children". 

[CrAz3D]

..I too believe South Park does try to get across a message sometimes ...its weird.

[Blaze]

I couldn't have said it better.

[MyndFyre]

It does.  The creators of South Park are very Libertarian.

[Joe]

Back to discussing my bookshelf..

During the year they do. That was assigned Summer reading.

We were even given our summer-reading books on loan. 

[Furious]

Although it is very crude humor ( most of the time ), the episodes usually do have some moral, they aren't there to entertain idiots.

[d&q]

Are you sure? 

[Nate]

Why do you have a framed baptismal certificate on your wall...It is meaningless in all instances unless you are catholic where the Church certifies it as authentic and it can be used for legal proof of identity.

[iago]

Perhaps he's proud of it?  Why else do you frame something and put it on the wall?

(note: I'm moving this thread to Joe's forum)

[Joe]

Hehe, I was wondering where this thread came from. Thanks iago.

To Nate, my pastor framed it. I didn't feel like putting it into storage and getting it crushed, plus I hate my wall color. I think I'm officially Catholic, but that's not a Catholic baptism certificate, and I don't go to a Catholic church (thats where I agree with you all, church being lame).

Isn't that like saying a Jew going to a Budist Temple to pray/whatever them guys have been up to (I'm thinking world domination, =-o)?

Hell man, I'd live in a monestary for a few months just for the fun of it. Buddhist's are really accepting of other religions in their monestaries / temples as long as you don't wack cockroaches with your shoe, don't call them names, and wear cool dresses.

but I don't have enough time on my hands to upload it on dialup. ^_^

Liar.

Told you.

[Joe]

That's a good one! . I'm just saying that I think if I went to a monestary for a month or so I'd mature spiritually or something like that, but if I gave him some Hilary Duff music I'd be comitting a crime.

oooh, burnination

[Joe]

Hm, in saying I'd be comitting a crime, that had nothing to do with piracy either. It was more a refence to the fact that it should be a crime to listen to said music.
