  W. busy 'restoring dignity to the White House'

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a reminder to all those partisan politics folks that both republicans and democrats are dirty, lying thieves through and through.

  conservatives enjoyed piling on clinton and getting all frothy about how he dishonered the dignity of the white house.

  then george w. promised to 'restore dignity to the white house' and instead of viewing this as a typical political lie to get elected, conservatives bought it hook, line, and sinker.

  Post Resurection for the bored Fundies

  by unclebruce in

  2. friends

  the times in which jesus lived are well documented.

  we know a lot about the historical context of the world in which he lived.

  this knowledge is not a matter of personal belief but of historical fact.

  This post is resurected at the special request of Shelby, YK, Rex and several others.

  was this a request in writing? did they all sign it?

  or did you anticipate such a request?

  [:-)]

  awesome post unclebruce!

  I especially liked the part about the epistles not containing written testimony. Is this really true? I thought I recall Peter... I really don't remember... something like 'we preach Christ resurrected'... I guess it must have been Paul!

  Hey, do you ever read the apocryphal books? Those are quite interesting...

  Actually they are proof against the bible's inspiration, since it demonstrates a process of weeding out the bullshit. What's left is horseshit. he he he

  Jude alludes to something outside the bible in his 'Jesus disputing with Satan over Moses' body' comment. There is no such account ANYwhere in the bible. What do you know about this? I would like to find where in the Apocrypha this might be.

  Someone asked 'What is a vegetable?':

  A vegetable is the edible part of the plant EXCEPT for the fruit, which is the seed-pod, basically.

  By this definition, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, corn, eggplant, and even nuts fall into the FRUIT category (seed-bearing part of the plant; fruits originate from pollination of flowers).

  Hope I didn't confuse anyone, but not everything that tastes bland is a vegetable.

  Here's the definition of a fruit:
  Merriam Webster online Dictionary

  [quote]
  1. fruit
  Pronunciation: 'früt
  Function: noun
  Usage: often attributive
  Etymology: Middle English, from Old French, from Latin fructus fruit, use, from frui to enjoy, have the use of -- more at BROOK

  p.s.: does anyone know why squirrels can survive eating acorns? They would kill us pretty quickly if we ate enough.

  Regarding MAD APOSTATE

  by silentlambs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wish to make a comment on something that disturbs me deeply to the point i cannot let it pass or be ignored.

  a little over a year ago i resigned as an elder to protest wt policy and how it hurt children.

  the impetus that brought me to that conclusion was a child i knew personally that was in danger.

  Hey LB,

  let me join you in that HOT water!
  he he he

  About the first one: 'Sex is overrated'

  How many ladies really think that the man enjoys sex more than the woman?

  I mean, do men get more pleasure out of sex? (I know they tend to get excited more BEFORE sex)

  I am of the inclination that women stand to enjoy it much more; correct me if I am wrong.

  What if I don't agree with Jesus?

  by Eyebrow in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  let's say that one believes jesus was god's son, and that he was perfect, etc.. well, what about this: what if you don't agree with jesus, or god on many things.. i have never thought about that before.

  what is your take?

  Well, do you disagree because they are wrong (i.e. morality) or do you simply find their words incorrect (i.e. unscientific)?

  Or both?

  That's something to think about.

  Altruistic punishment ---- DISFELLOWSHIPPING?!

  this abstract of an article in the journal nature relates to the concept of disfellowshipping, or shunning, in my opinion.. now we know why witnesses tend to cooperate.

  Altruistic punishment in humans

  Human cooperation is an evolutionary puzzle. Unlike other creatures, people frequently cooperate with genetically unrelated strangers, often in large groups, with people they will never meet again, and when reputation gains are small or absent. These patterns of cooperation cannot be explained by the nepotistic motives associated with the evolutionary theory of kin selection and the selfish motives associated with signalling theory or the theory of reciprocal altruism. Here we show experimentally that the altruistic punishment of defectors is a key motive for the explanation of cooperation. Altruistic punishment means that individuals punish, although the punishment is costly for them and yields no material gain. We show that cooperation flourishes if altruistic punishment is possible, and breaks down if it is ruled out. The evidence indicates that negative emotions towards defectors are the proximate mechanism behind altruistic punishment. These results suggest that future study of the evolution of human cooperation should include a strong focus on explaining altruistic punishment.

  JW/WT Idolatry Test

  by Lee Elder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is a simple test for idolatry.

  tell a jw, particularly an elder, that you don't know if you believe in god anymore.

  a typical reaction would be for them to try an encourage you.
