Thank you rebel8. I remember James Randi from the 1980's and have his book Flim Flam. I'm surprised he's still around squashing fairies.
I also remember waiting in a long line with a hardcover 1st edition of Cosmos at a book signing with Carl Sagan. The line was so long-I couldn't even see him-that I was discouraged from waiting. I truly regret having made that decision.

Hmmm...,what's so special about James Randi? Is he also an Ex-JW?

No Scott77 but he and a small group of others like him have dedicated their lives towards exposing psychic prognosticaters, televangelists, faith healers, television "prophets" all sorts of flim flam con artists. The JWs fall into that broad category.
By the way welcome to the board.

He needs to trim his eyebrows though. They're scary.

I would like him to do an expose on the JWS , now that would be worth viewing.
