  You Know's Spiritual Mad Cow Disease

  by AlanF in

  2. friends

  it's evident to all readers besides fredhall that our beloved you know is suffering from spiritual mad cow disease.

  parallel to the disease after which it is named, it is contracted by eating spiritual food infected with an unusual pathogen which gets deep into the brain and gradually destroys it.

  symptoms include instability, uttering loud noises and falling on one's face.. spiritual mad cow disease is propagated in an interesting way.

  For Uncle_Onion

  been away for a few days, but i noticed that you posted a number of questions about c14 dating.. i strongly recommend that you read all the material you can find concerning c14 on the talk.origins website.

  so far as i know, every one of your questions has been answered there, since you're pulling them off a yec website that merely repeats standard and long-debunked yec claims.

  you really need to do your own research in this area if you want to understand it, and the talk.origins site will give you far better and more detailed information that will point you in directions where you can do your own research in primary source materials than anyone i know of on our discussion board is willing to provide.

  Question for Kismet from AlanF

  2. friends

  i've been away for a few days, so haven't kept up with postings.. kismet, last week you complained to me in my "greenlees sources" thread that i had not taken into account certain information you had provided me in past posts/emails/whatever.

  i asked you to provide some kind of pointers to that information so that i could take it into account, or for you to tell me about it again.

  i saw no response from you.

  Suzi Mayhem Outdoes John Cleese

  by AlanF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a critique of suzi mayhem's theory of god .

  i thought, when suzi first posted this, that it was a joke something like john cleese's classic "brontosaurus theory" skit in a monty python episode.

  but mr. "dark clouds" has sort of asked me to critique it as if it were a serious theory, so here goes.. i'll address this to suzi, but suzi dear, don't take this too seriously.

  today's remarks about the wts's 1985 baptismal vows reminded me of.

  an incident an elder recently told me about.

  seems a man was still.

  1975 New Info

  by AlanF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".

  the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.

  the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

  a bozo calling itself "shiningone" recently posted on the h2o board some typically bad arguments supposedly defending the bible.

  i posted a rebuttal to a number of specific points, which is reproduced below.

  guess what the response was.. those familiar with jw teaching will recognize some of the bad defensive arguments.. <hr>.

  Confirming WTS Scholastic Dishonesty

  by AlanF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some information i just received solidly nails the watchtower society's coffin shut in the intellectual honesty department.. since the society published the brochure should you believe in the trinity?

  in english in 1989, a number of people have complained that many of the citations were misrepresentations of the intent of the authors, or simply did not show what the society's writer claimed.

  this is in keeping with many other wts publications, such as the infamous 1985 creation book, which i have demonstrated contains at least a hundred misrepresentations, misinterpretations and assorted scholastic inaccuracies.. the society, as usual, gives incomplete citations for its source references in the trinity brochure.
