  this will be only the 3rd time he's spoken from the oval office in his seven years so it's probably going to be something pretty big.

  combat troops being sent into syria?

  unilateral movement on gun control?.

  So today I just found out that aliens are real. Two people came by my house and shared the good news. The conversation went something like this:

  .

  Knock knock

  Me: Hello?

  Sally: Good morning, my name is Sally and this is my friend Jack.

  Me: Hello Sally and Jack, I'm CL.

  Sally: Hi CL, we're out talking to your neighbors about Aliens.

  Me: (pauses for a moment) Aliens?

  Sally: Yeah, you know, it seems like less and less people these days are putting faith in Aliens.

  Me: Wait . . . what?

  Sally: Well let me just ask you CL, what do you think of Aliens?

  Me: What Aliens?

  Sally: (looks at Jack it disbelief) CL, do you not believe in Aliens?

  Me: No, not really.

  Sally: Is it because you had a bad experience with Aliens? You know many people have had-

  Me: No, it's just because a lack of evidence for them.

  Sally: Pff (in disbelief) What about the pyramids? If aliens didn't build the pyramids then who did?

  Me: Well, for the simplification of our discussion, let's just assume we didn't know how the pyramids were built. All we could say then is we don't know how they were built. But we wouldn't be justified in just making something up. Positive claims require positive evidence.

  Sally: That's very true CL. Fortunately we have good evidence for aliens!

  Me: We do?

  Sally: (growing more and more excited) Yes we do!

  Me: Like what?

  Sally: (pulls something out of her purse) Well, fortunately, they wrote us this book.

  Me: Aliens wrote a book? What the fu-

  Sally: I should say they didn't exactly write it themselves. But they did inspired men to write it.

  Me: Oh lord. You've got to be kid-

  Sally: And in here it has knowledge that only Aliens could have known.

  Me: This should be good.

  Sally: For example, it talks about the earth being a circle!

  Me: Okay? So . . .

  Sally: Isn't that amazing?!

  Me: Um, not really. Didn't Eratosthenes figure that out over 2300 years ago? Not only that, he also calculated the -

  Sally: You see, we believe that the Aliens have a plan for us. And that - any day now - they're going to come down and destroy all the bad people and make the earth perfect. And everyone is going to get their very own panda.

  Me: But why would anyone believe that?

  Sally: Because it is written in the book.

  Me: But why do you think the book was actually inspired by aliens? I mean, is there some amazing mathematical proof that they left behind that can help us unlock the secrets of the Universe? Or did they leave behind the design plans to build FTL engines for a starship? Or perhaps they gave us some kind of code that we can use to program an AI construct?

  Sally: You know CL they did even better than that! Let me share something with you, here in Klingon 17 verse 4 it says, "And people will not be nice to each other and one group of people will try to kill another group of people. And in this time we will come back and set the world straight."

  Me: I'm not sure I -

  Sally: Doesn't that PERFECTLY describe the time we live in?

  Me: Um, not really. I think you could apply that to any -

  Sally: It is absolutely proof positive that the Aliens are coming back. Not only that. The Aliens have left us a means to communicate with them!

  Me: Wait, are you serious? O-M-G, why didn't you start with that! What is it? A subspace relay? Or even better yet - an ansible? That would be awesome if it was an ansible!

  Sally: To communicate with them all you have to do is close your eyes, put your hands together and speak your mind to them . . . and then at the end say, "through your son Ambassador Spock we pray. Amen."

  Me: That's it? But how do they communicate back?

  Sally: Oh, you know, lot's of different ways. Mostly through their book.

  Me: Well sign me up!

  Survey: How long were you in the cult vs what year you were baptized

  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  Keep in mind that your graph fails the Principle of Total Evidence. For example, the graph shows that people baptized in the year 2000 are only in for an average of 10 years. But this is operating off an incomplete data set. The people who were baptized in the year 2000 but leave in the year 2020 are not accounted for because they don't know they're going to leave yet.

  As best I can tell, a lot of what we are seeing in this graph as a "trend" is just the fact that many people who were baptized within the last two decades simply haven't left yet. As time goes on the average "time in" will only go up.

  I'm not sure any meaningful information can be extracted from the information you're gathering unless you're conducting a hundred year study.

  Ugh, I've read it before. If you thought the book of Deuteronomy was repetitive and BORING as **** then you'll be astounded to find out there's a book even WORSE!

  On the flip side, it's not really that long. And at least it has a somewhat consistent narrative.

  Newborn Loses Faith In The Jehovah’s Witnesses After Record 6 Days

  by Watchtower-Free in

  green bay, wiin a turn of events that has stunned the worldwide medical community, local infant nathan jameson, born just six days ago, has become the youngest person ever to permanently and irrevocably know jehovah's witnesses are a harmful cult..this shatters all previous records, university of chicago psychologist douglas mcallister said monday.

  in all of documented medical history, there is no case of a newborn taking less than four months to develop the mental faculties required to grasp the full extent of this nightmare called jehovahs witnesses.considering he already comprehends harsh realities that most jehovahs witnesses spend their entire fleeting, shallow existences attempting to deny, baby nathan is quite the little miracle!

  he added.though he has not yet developed the capacity for speech, extensive cognitive testing has definitively shown that the shockingly perceptive 6-day-old fully understands and accepts that jehovahs witnesses cannot be trusted, that they remain far too ignorant for their opinions to be reliable, that a lack of self-awareness about their own destructive cult pervades them as a whole, and that most are too ineffectual to successfully pursue facts evidence and reason.sources said the early-blooming newborn was putting two and two together about the real nature of the jehovahs witnesses cult even before leaving the hospital, where his first sensory experiences included the shouts of sick people arguing to get treatment they urgently needed, visitors staring vacantly at smartphones as they scanned jw.org for fear inspired motivation.local reports confirmed the babys disillusionment was only compounded by the fact that he spent his first days in the bleak and soulless company of jehovahs witness relatives , their empty cult non-culture allowing him to realize in record time that all jw pursuits are cold, joyless, and devoid of any substantive purpose or integrity.for a baby, he sure is an insightful little guy, nathans mother, melanie jameson, told reporters.

  Could trends and group think be evidence of a form of telepathy?

  by EndofMysteries in

  i was thinking the other day about trends.

  think back over the decades and how generally the majority of people will feel or like or dislike the same things.

  people comment how awful and ugly things that trended in the past were.

  I don't feel we should be surprised at all that similar brains processing similar information will arrive at similar conclusions.

  In any sufficiently complicated system emergent properties almost always arise. At every scale things are more than the sum of their parts. Atoms are not just quantitatively greater than the neutrons, protons and electrons of which they are made -but they're also qualitatively greater. That is to say, atoms have properties that its parts don't.

  As we scale up complex molecules have properties that the atoms of which they are composed simply don't - like metallic, ionic, and covalent bonds. Chains of these molecules - like RNA and DNA - also have emergent properties - like self replication. Put enough of these self replicating molecules together and suddenly you have something even greater - like cell. Put a whole bunch of cells together and you end up with something even greater - like an animal. Put enough of these animals together - like humans - and you get something even greater - like societies and cultures.

  And trends in culture shouldn't surprise us. To the contrary - they are to be expected. No telepathy required.
