Do you hold any ''responsibility'' for the believing the WTS?
by RULES & REGULATIONS injehovah's witnesses are the only people that will inherit life on paradise earth.
only jehovah's witnesses have the ''truth''.
the wts is the only ''channel' 'to jehovah.

Is Richard Dawkins an ostentatious acrimonious supercilious pusillanimous calumnious censorious vituperative querulous embittered obsessive and bombastic bully?
by slimboyfat inrichard dawkins closes down his free-thinking/free-thought site (www.richarddawkins.net) for 30 days to reconfigure it 'because too many morons were contributing drivel' (he doesn't put it quite like that!
) he is then surprised because those self-same contributors call him everything under the sun (i won't repeat the names flung at him on our ultra -refined boards).
he now wants the site more or less 'peer-reviewed' (by analogy with papers to learned/scientific journals having to be vetted by vips).

I tend to run roughshod over superstitious ignorant people myself. Life is too short and painful not to have some fun at the expense of ones inferiors.

The Prosperity Gospel---Your Opinion?
by minimus inbenny hinn is one of those preachers that tell you if you give $$$ to their ministry, you will get 10 fold!.
i never understood why people do give $$$ and these preachers live the high life and encourage their listeners to do the same.
the watchower's kingdumb halls can't even pay their electric bills and you see these other "ministries"making hand over fist.

Seriously, what does this have to do with the NT? Nothing.
Prosperity, however, beats the heck out of poverty!Two thumbs WAY up for prosperity!

Jehovah's Witnesses and Amway
by paul from cleveland inmaybe you're all familiar with this subject already but i just came across it tonight.
it's an article about whether or not amway is a cult.
the similarities between jehovah's witnesses and amway are incredible.. http://www.cocs.com/jhoagland/amcult.html.

Very "timely" WT information for my research of Hebrew and Greek Scriptures...
by EndofMysteries inthe nov 1st, 2009 page 20. .
in summary, it's not needed to understand or compare the ancient hebrew and greek to our translations.
it can be "a very difficult task", "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing", i suppose so, if finding the mistakes in the nwt.

DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD! HITLER BELIEVED IN GOD!
DON'T WATCH 'WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?" BECAUSE RAMTHA SPONORED IT!
The fact is, the facts are factual in the video. Whoever this Ramtha is had enough sense to recruit heavy hitters, scientifically speaking.
Cut out the "guilt by association" crapola.
I just remembered...
My fathers extinct
and my mothers extinct
My sisters extinct
and my brothers extinct
my aunts and my uncles
they all are extinct..
In fact I do think my whole families extinct! -

I understand the epistemological and ontological implications of modern physics. You are correct that nothing exists in the manner once thought it does in the Newtonian Clockwork Universe. Atoms are not solid little balls of indestructible matter, time is not a Universal Constant but rather a function of the speed of an observer on a moving body relative to another observer on another moving body, and space is not simply "nothing." To the contrary, modern physics has demonstrated that matter is actually a complex series of vibrational patterns within vibrational patterns within vibrational patterns of the space-time continuum. The universe is vibrating in a seemingly limitless number of patterns which we call "particles" for convenience sake, and for the sake of not confusing laypeople who are unable to grasp modern physics.
There is nothing solid in the universe. The fact that like charges repel is one of the main reasons we simply do not pass through each other. The universe has no more solidity and substance than a dream. Yet, here we are trapped within it. We ARE it!
Space can be bent by massive objects, and this has been observed many times. I'll not reinvent the wheel here.
I cannot give everyone here a pablumized version of physics. You will have to discover for yourself, or continue to revel in your ignorance just as the JWs do when confronted with the evidence for evolution. Revel in your ignorance.
Few peoplw today read anything but mindless fiction and the funny papers, so I recommend a painless way to understand modern physics. Rent the DVD What the Bleep Do We Know? Some of the greatest modern physicists assisted with its production.
Until philosophers have the intelligence and sense to take modern physics into consideration in forming their epistemological and ontological ideas, philosophy is a stupid endeavor. It is much like studying medicine when disease was still attributed to "humours" in the human body.
Don't let the ignorant dissaude you from the liberating power of understanding the REAL Mystery of existence to be found in that discipline that deals with the universe at its most fundamentl level: physics.

The point of the film is that Obama, like every prez before him, lied thru his teeth. The film exposes what he said he would do versus what he actually did and is doing. As the filmmaker URGED the viewer: Check it out for yourselves. So I have been doing so by asking the assistants of The Prez as to what he has actually signed into law.
Some of you need to take a chill pill.
As to conspiracies, we know that they never really happen. Our founding fathers never really conspired against the British. The Communists never conspired against the Czar, or the emperor of China. In the real world, conspiracies NEVER happen. So, give them a high giggle factor and write them all off automatically.
My personal point of this post was that Obama managed to get a 56 year old man, jaded pessimistic and cynical, to open up, just a little, again. Why? Obama seemed genuine.
SO NOW I'M BACK IN OLD S.O.B. MODE WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE PUPPET-IN-CHIEF WILL DO NEXT.
