Dear sspo: I am shocked that your wife turned you in! What a lovely "Christian" group the JWs are. It's enough to make me want to scream at what a Totolitarian group this is, turning it's members into spies who turn each other in. The behavior is as bad as Communist behavior at the height of the Cold War, or the McCarthy era ugliness. I gasp at the aptitude of the human mind for self delusion and morel-ethical blindness. Almost incredible.
My sympathies that you are married to a woman who would do such a thing.
Namaste,
Skoshi

It makes much more sense that the Romans killed Jesus for sedition, because crucifixion, in my understanding, was reserved for very heinous crimes such as sedition. The Jews of the time did have the right to execute--by stoning--malefactors of a lesser kind, such as blasphemers. However, as the Evangel went forth into the Roman world, a Roman world in which Jerusalem was no more and the Jews had been all but annihilated, it would not have made sense to blame the real culprits, the Romans. So, Pilate was placed in a sympathetic light as reluctant to crucify Jesus and the Jews taking the blame upon themselves and upon their children. This made the Evangel much more palatable to the Romanized world. "Judas" is simply the word for "Jew." he is not an actual person, but is a single embodiment of the Jewish race.

A True Scholar In Our Midst, Leolaia
by Skoshi inher posts for a very long time were overflowing with an obvious scholarship.
i have avidly read her posts and have tucked away as much as my much smaller brain could be forced to take in.
i'm sure others have openly expressed their admiration and appreciation for her, but i would like to do so here.

Indeed, Narkissos and AlanF are also grand and insightful scholars. Narkissos has even helped translate the Bible with a well-known Bible Society (Not WTS). I admire him as well. I would be honored to meet Leolaia, Narkissos, AlanF and Blondie. However, I dedicated this thread to Leolaia so let me reinterate, LEOLAIA WE ALL ADMIRE AND RESPECT YOU! Many blessings os all kinds to you Leo.

Thank you Arthur! Yes, I did see them and I literally laughed out loud. I especially loved the one with the brother holding a gun behind his back as he addresses the friends at a KH! They were all very clever and funny. Very. She is brilliant.

Greetings. Perhaps you would care to indulge an old man? Anagrams are a hobby of mine, and I have discovered some surprising anagrams through the years, such as Clint Eastwood = Old West Action, etc. Can anyone come up with further enlightening and revealing anagrams of Tao Te Ching?
Here are a few:
Get to China
Go anti-tech
No ethic tag
Your prize of course is knowing that you have bested me at my own hobby! If you have interesting and/or funny anagrams to share, please feel free to do so. Namaste,

"Nobody actually changes the lightbulb..WBTS just tells them it`s a "NewLight" bulb..Jehovah`s Witness`s accept the story,and continue to walk around in the dark...OUTLAW."
Indeed, this is the most "spot-on" answer of all!

God's richest blessings be upon you, Leolaia.

I've been a lucid dreamer since childhood. The first time I took conscious control of a dream was sometime around age sixteen. I dreamt I was running down a dark corridor and something huge and breathing heavily was chasing me. I came to the end of the corridor with nowhere to go, turned around and saw something huge moving toward me in the semi-darkness. I realized it was just a dream, and I said so in the dream. "This is just a dream and I don't have to put up with this crap!" So I changed the dream to a very placid lakeside tableau, with an very sexy young woman, nude of course, for my pleasure. I became so excited I woke up!
My lucid dreaming has slacked off now that I'm in my fifties. On the other hand, I seldom have bad dreams. I have no idea how one would teach another to lucid dream, but you should give it a try. It's a lot of fun to create entire worlds in your mind, to fly, to summon forth dinosaurs, to walk on the Moon or Mars, whatever strikes your fancy when you realize you're dreaming.
Lucid dreaming, I'm convinced, si the most likely explanation for the OBE and "Astral Travel." These folks are simply accessing the ability to lucid dream.
Namaste,

The producer of this program is asking for extremely negative publicity and an ugly backlash. This is not a smooth move.
