i just signed a petition to put a stop to phony "gay cures" happening right now in france - and touring to another 9 countries.

with sessions planned in 9 more countries, france must lead the way.

Introducing Mrs Cedars...

i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.

she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.

she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

Welcome, Mrs. Cedars. I hope you post some recipes for those of us who are "challenged" in the kitchen, something for us simple folk.

It's Time to Pull the Plug on the Watchtower Cult: Are YOU Willing To Do YOUR Part?

by headisspinning in

to all of my friends on jwn:.

as you know, very big things are happening in regards to the watchtower on a weekly and even daily basis.

they have stepped up their hatred towards those who have left, strengthened their stranglehold on those still stuck in and continued with their harmful policies that damage families, protect pedophiles and sacrifice children.

Thanks for the chuckle, 00DAD.

For NFL fans

by jamesmahon in

so i got into the nfl in the early/mid 90s.

back then there were some great running backs - happening onto a lions game late on sunday night over here and seeing barry sanders was what got me into it.

but it seems the running game is dead.

I think I can see teams using lateral/backward passing as in rugby at some point.

You see it at the very end of a game as a desperation move, and it almost always fails. Coaches are aware of the riskiness of backward passing, and that's why it's so rarely used.

By the way, I know I will be hated for this but I am a Patriots fan.

No hatred from me, a lifelong Packers fan.

Consciousness an Epiphenomena of Matter?

by frankiespeakin in

in philosophy of the mind this is much debated and not understood,, modern experimentational evidence seem to be pointing towards this as true.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/epiphenomenalism.

arguments fora large body of neurophysiological data seems to support epiphenomenalism.

some of the oldest such data is thebereitschaftspotential or "readiness potential" in which electrical activity related to voluntary actions can be recorded up to two seconds before the subject is aware of making a decision to perform the action.
