an acquaintance reported that the brother giving the baptismal talk at a regional assembly recently punted red bull a few times.
he never mentioned red bull by name, but he referred to the drink that "gives you wings" more than once.
this sounds like subliminal advertising.
Lol i appreciate the tendancy to see it as all about money but im 100% sure it was not advertising for red bull. If nothing else red bull wouldnt be interested in paying to market its energy drink to such a small audience and do so subliminally at that. They sponsor huge events, race cars and traditional 30 second television comercials, among other forms of advertising . The about to be baptised cult crowd isnt their demographic.
Nothng to see here :)
it is often said that our retinas are are an example of sub-optimal design.. a few years ago i was intrigued by a passing comment in one of nick lane's to the effect that this is not a good argument but he didn't go into much detail.. researchers at leipzig have revealed the role of glial cells in transmitting light from the surface of the retina to the cones, acting like fiber-optic cables.. erex ribak has built a model of the eye and demonstrated some fascinating details.... so, the question is - does this reflect good "design" or a retro-fitted repair like the hubble telescope's glasses?.
Here is the differance: my car radiator wasnt supposed to be designed by an all knowing creator who should have been able to do better.
Furthur it isnt a design flaw that causes radiator leaks but normal wear and tear since rubber hoses dont self repair like our bodies.
guys,.

i am sure that president obama's saying today that mandatory voting in the usa would be a good thing is going to get the witnesses all excited as they look forward to being persecuted for not voting.
just another sign showing how deep we are into the times of the end and how close they are to burying billions of people who don't read the watchtower.. sour grapes .
