Ya know, there's plenty of legends about the Buddha being omniscent as well. I highly doubt it, enlightened men may be incredibly wise, but they aren't omniscent. Knowing everything is impossible.

in pokemon: mewtwo strikes back, there is a great line that applies to a lot of people, especially jws.
here's a quick summary: mewtwo was created by scientists to become the most powerful pokemon ever.

I'm not particularily interested in pokemon, but I do like anime. Some of my favorite ficitonal sotires have been anime.
I've witnessed the dubs silly terror of pokemon as well. Back when the witnesses.net site was still up, there was a long thread where several dubs said they thought pikachu was demonic. I can even remember a post where someone named LilBarb (married to BigRay, who I believe has been mentioned on here several times), compared pokemon to the telletubbies, and said that some girl at work told her the telletubies were actually chanting african spells.

One aspect of this series I find particularily fascinating is how all these different worlds overlap.

I can remember literally dozens of experiences and parts in meetings and assemblies designed to discourage young ones from going to college and becoming full time pioneers instead. What really makes me angry was that it infected my thinking for a while as well, I felt like going to college and getting a good career would be somehow wrong. Not only that, it left me feeling lost and directionless, since I wasn't exactly MS quality either due to my liberal outlook.

I'm angry for not having made more 'wordly' friends in high school, for not having been able to devout myself to education earlier, for having to feel like my hobbies and interests were wrong, and for believing I was somehow better than everyone who wasn't a dub.

Now this is what I call a miracle
by WildHorses intoddler thought dead makes recovery
fullerton, calif. (nov. 8) - a 20-month-old girl was pronounced dead at a hospital after being found face-down in a swimming pool, but a police investigator later noticed her breathing and she was revived.. the toddler's mother discovered her in the family pool friday morning and she was taken to anaheim memorial medical center, where she was pronounced dead about an hour later, said fullerton police sgt.
ron gillett.. a police investigator alone in the hospital room taking photographs of the girl's body saw some movement and noticed her breathing, gillett said.

If this little girl came back, it makes you wonder how long people can be pronounced clinically dead, and there still be a chance of resuscitating them.

Christians can act like dubs sometimes by their shock that you have "turned"......or backslid, against god and his word. Some will even shy away from you after you tell them.
I've noticed this as well, dubs aren't the only ones skilled at shunning. I worry over it frequently, my mother is only just starting to come to terms with what she knows about what the society has done, while trying to reconcile her Christian faith. Breaking away from the WTS will be hard as it is for her. I try to keep my new beliefs and opinions to myself now, as I don't want to her to completely lose hope. I'm especially careful around my friends from the hall. If they learned what I think of the society they would become antagonistic as it is, but if they knew that I believe in evolution, reincarnation, have rejected traditional christianity and am now considering experimenting with magic, they would probably think I had become Satan's avatar. Which would, incidentally, destroy any chance I might have of helping them escape from dubdom.
