  one of the boxes contains keys to the star prize, a car and the other two are empty .

  You are asked to pick a door
  you pick the prize door		you pick wrong door a		you pick wrong door b
  Wrong door b is removed		Wrong door b is removed		Wrong door a is removed
  you swap	you stick	you swap	you stick	you swap	you stick
  you lose	you win	you win	you lose	you win	you lose

  
  
  out of the 3 options from swapping 2 of them will win, so the probability is 2/3 chance of winning. Out of the 3 options for sticking 1 will win so the probability is 1/3. So you are twice as likely to win if you swap.

  This will be my last point on this.
  
  
  In one of his articles he says :
  
  
  "He is fastidious about his appearance, his home and his possessions. He wants as much sex as possible and chooses sexual partners mostly on the basis of appearance. He is self-absorbed and doesn't want emotional involvement or commitment. He thinks a woman would stifle him and children would be a burden.
  
  
  Does this sound like many gays? It is also the masculine ideal purveyed by Playboy magazine to men since the 1950's."
  
  Personally I find this insulting and extremly stereotypical. I am gay, am in a monogamous relationship and am very happy. The majority of my friends are either in the same position as me, or would like to be.
  
  
  True, I know a few people who do sleep around, but they are the minority.

  This guy is insane, surely this is a joke ?
  
  
  As Freemasons, they worship Lucifer and intend to establish a world government and religion based on the occult.
  
  
  They are planning to rebuild Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem and sacrifice millions of Israelis and Moslems to their evil deity in a nuclear war scheduled for about 2012. This human sacrifice is extremely important in occult terms because the souls of the dead somehow will consecrate the temple.
  
  
  The "Crown" wants Kerry to be elected because Bush's plan to attack Iran next year would derail this master plan. (See "The Countdown to World War Three" )
  
  
  "Bush will set the occult plan back 200 years because the temple hasn't been rebuilt yet," Rifat says. "It has to be constructed in order to receive the sacrifice."
  
  
  I know this is extremely bizarre and distasteful but unfortunately there is solid evidence, which I will present later."

  Click on the link at the bottom of the article marked - A long way to go for a date. It shows the wife of the author. He is 48, she looks about 18, and he had to go to the fillipeans to find her.

  Everlasting Life--The Carrot Put Before the Public

  by blondie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was looking over the article just before next sunday's study article.. taking in knowledge now and forever.

  the attraction is living forever.. a few statements show the trend of the article.. a compelling reason to be selective about knowledge is that our present life span is so shrt.. you realize that you will simply not live long enough to do so.. could a field of knowledge be available that will prolong life significantly, even forever?.

  please read the next article, which will offer you the prospect of taking in knowledge forever.. still, he does not promise his readers that they could literally live forever.. however, there is one kind of knowledge that does promise everlasting life.. conversely, if you did live forever, you could take in useful knowledge forever.. john 17:3. let us first define the term "everlasting life.".

  are they assigned?

  are they in any way related to status?

  if you usually park in the same space every meeting, then one day you arrive to find someone else there...... .

  If the WT were to "reform" would you stay or go back?

  2. beliefs

  this thought has sprung from recent threads and speculation over the new book.

  i know many who post here are still active jw's or ones who were df'd, but may have not totally left the belief system.

  many have trouble with the methods and policies of the wt concerning dfing, restrictions, blood, local elders etc.

  My Brother in law has just got reinstated, I know he doesnt believe and will only go to the meetings 2 or 3 times a month. If I could go back and dtill be Gay I think I would probably do the same thing if only to get my family back.
  
  But I would still know its BS and would only do the bare minimum.
