  for those who are interested in learning more about the real duns:.

  hannah arendt has a section in her book _the life of the mind_, in particular, arendt's comments on duns appear in part two of her one volume edition (they appear in the part on willing) and runs from pages 125-146.. one quote from scotus is this one:.

  "in potestate voluntaris nostrae est habere nolle et velle, quae sunt contraria, respectu unius obiecti.".

  dear wonderful folks of j-w.com,.

  the other day, one of my distinguished interlocutors contended that if joelbear says he is innately gay, then he is innately gay.

  it seems that my interlocutor is saying the following.. 1) s verbally claims that his sexual orientation is innate.

  Jean Paul Sartre and St. Genet: A Theory of Crimin

  what is a criminal?

  is one who commits a crime necessarily a criminal?

  put another way, is it possible for a person to steal a bag of bread without becoming a thief?

  i'll be back later to take care of brother larc and others.

  for now, i want to share a brief quote taken from albert einstein.

  if the doctor fouls up the quote, he takes full responsibility for any legal ramifications that may append thereto.

  Silentlambs and Signifiers that Signify Nothing

  by dunsscot in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  call me a neopositivist, a semi-verificationist or semi-falsificationist, but the claims made by "silentlambs" reminds me of the shakespearean line that was quoted in the creator book published by the wtbts.

  that is, the contentions of silentlambs seem like much "sound and fury" that in truth signify nothing.

  i am of course referring to the supposed dateline show and the claims made about some members of the gb of jehovah's witnesses.

  Kierkegaard on Abraham and Isaac: Blood

  by dunsscot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to whom it may concern,.

  the witnesses are often condemned for refusing blood transfusions and "permitting" their children to die.

  such a religious position is untenable, opponents of jws will argue.

  Freedom of Thought and JW Opposers

  by dunsscot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does freedom of thought really obtain in this forum?

  are those who have left god's organization and jehovah god himself actually now more open-minded and unbiased?

  if those who espouse atheistic thoughts or those who believe every vile utterance spoken against jehovah's people think they are now speaking from some olympian perspective, i beg to differ.
