i watched an episode of "lie to me" on netflix that piqued my curiosity.. .

in the episode truth or consequences, a cult leader is investigated by the irs to determine if his cult has tax exemption or not.. one of the criteria that has to be met in order to be a legitimate 'church' or 'religion' in the eyes of the irs is that the members have to display "genuine belief'.. here is the portion of the script that speaks of this:.

Did CT Russell use the term "Light" in his ministry?
by FFtruther144 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i mean it in the sense of: "light" = "truth" = "knowledge".

as the wtbts uses it in "we have received 'new light'...".

if anyone knows of one or two specific instances, and maybe where they can be found, i would appreciate it.. blondie?

measuring the great pyramid of egypt reveals exact prophetic dates.. _______________.

that was the crackpot theory of so-called pyramidologists.. among the men who promoted this silly idea was the founder of the watchtower publishing corporation, pastor c.t.russell.. he did not originate pyramidology, but he copied the work of the astronomer royal of scotland, professor charles piazzi smyth.

as well as another fellow named john taylor (the great pyramid (1859) and built a grand bit of humbug theology.

Can a slingshot hit harder than a handgun? (Self-defense research oddities)

as you've probably guessed, i'm interested in almost everything.. whether that is good or bad, i dunno.. but, recently i started researching ways of defending myself against bad actors.

(no, not keanu reeves.).

even though i live in texas--i just have no comfort at all about the conceal carry handgun scenario for myself.. i've explored alternate scenarios.. i purchased a rather wicked folding pocket knife, but--i kept thinking to myself how i didn't really want to bleed somebody.

i know this is a long post, but it seems to me that the watchtower society has pretty much got every single item covered.. bite = behavior, information, thought, emotion.
