I had my fill of diagrams when I left the Watchtower.
Screw Hegel and Dialectics.
Read Ayn Rand.
i will lead the reader to first observe a model of the hegelian dialectic which is a key psychological entrapment of the powers that be.
the dialectic takes this trilateral 'managed conflict' process one step further.
then the process starts all over again: thesis vs. antithesis results in synthesis.

a friend told me about the latest p.o.
talk.
he said that women seduce men into fornication 9 times out of 10 - they are jezebels he stated.. that pompous ass!!!!!!
Every time I ever got laid the woman knew it would happen from the start and I did not know until her clothes were coming off.
I think the PO was right on the mark.
Not that there is anything wrong with being a Jezebel.
It is one of the qualities I admire most in women.

hiya all.
i just wondered this becus i know lots of people have lost faith in god and the bible.. but if today something happened that proved 100 percent that god existed, would you go back to serving him?.
flyphisher:
Logic and reason from the human mind is all that I need.
I may make mistakes but I am responsible for my actions.
Gods can exist or not.
I would tell God, "I do not need you, please go away and leave me alone."

If it were proved to me that God existed I would still not worship Him, Her, It.
I am capable of deciding on my own what is good or bad and do not need help from any type of Supreme Being.
i know this might sound like a question from "la-la" land but as a black ex-jws most of the white jw's that i did have contact with were really nice.
i was talking to a hispanic ex-jws the other day and he was telling me of some of the racist experiences he had as a jw.
i did not contradict him but i never experienced racism from caucasian jw's.
In the fifteen years I was a Jehovah's Witness 1973-1988. I never saw or heard of any racism. My experience was that the Watchtower was the most color blind non racist group I have ever seen. I think the Watchtower is guilty of many evils, but not racism.
desiderata .
go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
National Lampoon did a spoof of this poem in the 60's. I cannot remmeber the whole thing but a few lines are,
You are a fluke of the Universe
You have no right to be here
Wether you can hear it or not, the Universe is laughing behind your back
Give up
1. was he the son of god and some kind of god himself?
2. was he an extremely intelligent man that manipulated people and made himself appear to be fullfilling the prophecies about the messiah?
3. was he a dellusional nutter?
He was a nice Jewish boy who became confused.
The biological son of Joseph or some other man.
Not God nor the Son of God.
When he died on the cross he stayed dead and was never resurrected.

just wondering if anyone was planning to watch this tomorrow?.
a lot of religious and right wing sites have already criticised it.
Too bad I live in the United States so I can not watch the program.
From my observation I think that the lack of money is the root of all evil.
I certainly agree that the delusion of religious faith is one of the prime causes of misery in human history.
my iq is 130 i have taken the test twice and both times it was 130. the detailed report said i am very high in math and logical thinking, but lower on language skills.
i believe this site has helped me with spelling and grammar.
i type rather fast now compared to when i started posting.
Mine is 130.
I have taken several IQ tests over the years. I do not think they prove anything except how well you do on IQ tests.
If someone is interested in a subject they will learn as much as possible about that subject and may have new insights that others have not seen regardless of IQ score.
you scored as judaism.
your views are closest to those of judaism.
if you are not a jew, do more research on judaism and possibly consider becoming one; however, realize that conversion to judaism is difficult.
