samuel l jackson ftw
by cptkirk inif you are sensitive to language probably don't want to watch this.
i haven't laughed like this in a while, "this is a tassty burger", "i do love the taste of a good burger".
even as well known as jackson is, he is still underrated.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xowyb7zby1s.

Dr. Daniel Amen, Studies in mental health and brain trauma
by designs inhave you followed dr. amen's research.
very interesting approach to the diagnosis and treatment for all manner of brain functions.
see his gallery of brain scans- spect on the amenclinic site.. one of his 'warnings' to young women is- avoid soccer, women's intellingence is concentrated in the frontal lobe, exactly where the head butting occurs.. check out two of his web sites: www.amenclinics.com www.dr-amen.com .

Markan priority and the synoptic gospels
by 88JM inthis might be a question for leolaia, but i noticed in researching the gospel of mark this week that the dates the wtbts gives for the writing of the other synoptic gospels does not seem to agree with most new testament scholars.. the all scripture book gives the following dates:.
matthew: writing completed: c. 41 c.e.mark: writing completed: c. 6065 c.e.luke: writing completed: c. 5658 c.e.this would put mark as the last of the three synoptic gospels to be written, and therefore the wtbts does not adhere to the markan priority hypothesis.. wikipedia states that: "the theory of markan priority is today accepted by the majority of new testament scholars".. .
is there a good reason why the wtbts dates the synoptic gospels in that order?how can they date matthew and luke so early?is it merely because the wtbts rejects the possibility of a "q" source, and possibly even the idea of collusion between the writers altogether?or is it because many scholars put the writings of luke and matthew after the destruction of jerusalem, meaning the "prophecies" of destruction became historical accounts of past events by the time they were written?

You or I see a minority stance--the GB sees an opportunity to feign
exclusiveness. Besides the Insight books, a NWT study Bible might have the
details. -

Daniel was confused.
by transhuman68 ini did some research after reading this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/246165/1/using-microsoft-excel-to-disprove-watchtower-theology-authority.
and realized there have been some flip-flops in the watchtower's interpretation of daniel's prophecy.
here is the interpretation from 'pay attention to daniel's prophecy' (1999) pg.301:.

You're all wrong. Some can recite the Bible forward or backward, but you get
a special prediction if you interpret it backward (it's like backmasking excdpt
with the Bible):In the beginning, there was fire poured from above and a lake of fire--that
was the creation of the Earth.
God ejected everyone from Heaven.
Then they created religion as law of the land, such as in Israel, then Rome,
then Iran.
God disassociated Himself from the people on Earth.
Around the time they tried reaching for the heavens with towering spacecraft,
God saw them cover the Earth with pollution, even above the tops of the
mountains.
Now God even felt cruel about people and their waves of climate change
destroying the Earth and all life on it and saw he needed to preserve His
reputation with the rest of the cosmos.
(Notice: in my version you get a literal ark is--by this time, there are so
few animals they can all fit on a boat.)
People believed in snakes who misrepresented the tree of knowledge till no
one knew there was one or where their own sex parts were.
Then all the people were dead, then the animals were all dead, then the
plants were all dead, then the Earth was destroyed.
Then God and all the angelic people on the exoplanets in the heavens lived
happily ever after.
The end.Granted, it's grim for people at the end, but a lot of reviewers don't like it
when you tie everything up with a happy ending. This is a critically acclaimed,
well-reviewed prediction that has at least a much a chance of coming true as any
I've heard. -

Is there a 'third' way to leave?
by Splash inonce baptised, apart from death there are really just two ways to leave the congregation: df or da.. but notice this quote:.
"does he really desire to disassociate himself, or does he simply no longer want to associate actively with the congregation?".
- shepherd the flock of god (2010) p. 111. .

Scientists say they may be able to determine the eventual fate of the cosmos
as they probe the properties of the Higgs boson.A concept known as vacuum instability could result, billions of years from
now, in a new universe opening up in the present one and replacing it.It all depends on some precise numbers related to the Higgs that researchers
are currently trying to pin down.Hints of the particle were first seen at the Large Hadron Collider last year.
Associated with an energy field that pervades all space, the boson helps
explain the existence of mass in the cosmos. In other words, it underpins the
workings of all the matter we see around us.Since detecting the particle in their accelerator experiments, researchers at
the Geneva lab and at related institutions around the world have begun to
theorise on the Higgs' implications for physics.One idea that it throws up is the possibility of a cyclical universe, in which
every so often all of space is renewed."It turns out there's a calculation you can do in our Standard Model of
particle physics, once you know the mass of the Higgs boson," explained Dr
Joseph Lykken.“This bubble will then expand, basically at the speed of light, and sweep
everything before it” Dr Joseph Lykken
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
"If you use all the physics we know now, and you do this straightforward
calculation - it's bad news."What happens is you get just a quantum fluctuation that makes a tiny bubble
of the vacuum the Universe really wants to be in. And because it's a lower-
energy state, this bubble will then expand, basically at the speed of light, and
sweep everything before it," the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
theoretician told BBC News.It was not something we need worry about, he said. The Sun and the Earth will
be long gone by this time.

Shadow Morton passes.......Remember, Leader Of The Pack
by designs inshadow morton may not be a familar name to many but his songs were influencial in the 60s rock and roll r&b scene.
he could neither read or write music and he played no instrument, all of his songs came to him simply in his head.. 'remember (walking in the sands)' was a breakaway sound that part operatic, part spoken, chanting, sound effects (sea gulls are heard in the background track).
performed by high school friends the shangri-las and 'written' by shadow in just 22 minutes when he pulled his car over by the side of the road, it became an international hit and influenced many other artists and song-writers.

if possible, care for restroom needs before the start of the session.
turn off your cell phone so that you will not be distracted by calls or texts or be tempted to text others during the program.
