  genuine english guy seeking jw lady

  by english_gentleman in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  hi, i believe that a lady is put on earth to satisfy the needs of her partner and respect his views in all matters.. i realize some here may consider that old fashioned and not based on sexual equality.. yet a lady and man are not created equal because the lady gives birth and the man must sire many children.

  if you are a lady under 30 and keen to meet me, willing to cook and breed, then please message me here.

  please do not contact me if you disagree with my views, we can agree to differ.

  Mind Body Dualism

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've never found dualism - the idea that the mind and the brain are two different substances with the mind being "immaterial" or "non-material" - a valid manner in which to address consciousness or any mysteries relating to it.

  to show the reasons why i think it's bad metaphysics i'll use analogous reasoning to make a case for my newly made up "mystic essence".. for hundreds of years scientists have studied plants and animals all across the world.

  but they still can't explain where ecosystems come from.

  Materialism claims that nothing exist except matter.
  The idea that "nothing exists except matter" does not itself consist of matter.
  Therefore materialism is self-refuting.

  Satanic Temple’s Seven Tenets - Makes 10 Commandments Sound Facile

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the so-called 10 commandments are a post-biblical construct.... there is an elohist list at exodus 20 and a yahwist one at exodus 34 that contains such gems as "you shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.".

  any intelligent adult could create a more useful list of ethical precepts before the end of a coffee break.. it is interesting to compare the satanic temple's seven tenets.

  i think you might agree that it makes yahweh's rules look like they were written by a bronze age power-hungry, misogynistic priest.

  I switched to Win10 over Christmas and haven't had any issues. In fact, I rather like the new GUI; seems they kept the best elements of Win7 and 8.1. Microsoft's browser, Edge, still blows though

  Since i use Gmail, Outlook and Office365 web mail, local email client issues are no thing. As mentioned, a local email client is almost unnecessary nowadays and more a risk for viruses than anything it would seem

  I installed full version onto a new SSD so upgrade issues weren't a problem; I've got everything backed up to externals anyways. I usually take the thing apart for cleaning and reformat system drive once a year anyways. Just cos ima nerd, yo

  abu bakr al-baghdadi put out an audio recording on saturday calling on muslims to join the fight.

  it is his first public pronouncement in over 7 months.. a number of muslims have taken to twitter to mock the self-styled caliph of the islamic state with comments like "i've got star wars on sunday, maybe later" and "would do but there's engineering work on the trains around london bridge.

  soz".

  The moderates need to be encouraged to keep speaking out.

  Agreed. The best path to change is from the inside IMO.
