Satan is interesting and everything, but what about Lucifer? And why do so many people confuse the two?

the Books were for your initial survival capabilities. Thats all all very normal in a country that has strict guidelines.
Did they ask how much $$$$ you have with you? That sets them off also
Oh yes, and I had about $100 with me, about right for a day or two. I knew not to show up broke, but also not to have lots of cash. Canada is much stricter about who gets let in to visit and to stay than the US is, and the difference shows.

JW's disdain for the Papacy, and their new light
by zed is dead ini love how the witnesses have contempt for all other religions, especially the catholic church.
their big gripe is about the pope being the spoksman of god.
they pride themselves in not having a clergy.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a hierarchical religion? And does it matter?
by cedars inthis is the title of my latest article, which is available on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/are-jehovahs-witnesses-a-hierarchical-religion-and-does-it-matter.
inspired by the illustration in the april 15th watchtower (above), i thought it would be worthwhile to further explore this facet of the society for two reasons.... because the society has spent decades criticizing the catholic church for being hierarchical, andbecause the society has recently become more open about its hierarchical nature than ever before.below is a diagram i have prepared which shows the organizational similarities that watch tower society now shares with the catholic church.... .
until recently, the governing body could place the "faithful slave" above it at the top of the pyramid, but as of october 5th this fuzzy doctrine was scrapped - thus removing the final distinguishing factor between the governing body and popedom.. as always, i would be interested in your thoughts.... .

They very obviously have a pyramid scheme going, as shown in one of their older illustrations.
There is even an illuminated capstone on their pyramid with the All Seeing Eye.
It is identical to the Roman Catholic organization chart. So I must ask this: Which is the original, and which is the counterfeit?

Just Breaking: Hard Evidence Of ET Life?
by metatron ingo to the disclosetv site.
it is claimed that on jan. 10 the journal of cosmology published a paper by 4 scientists stating that hard evidence of fossilized single cell life was found in a sri lanka meterorite.. .
i've got some reading to do.. i just stumbled on to this and it appears to be real..... metatron.

Those kinds of meteorites are known to have organic compounds in them. That does not mean it is the same as evidence of life. Also, a witnessed fresh fall, like the Murchison, is less likely to be contaminated by terrestrial organisms than one that is found way after its fall.

Anybody else kinda intrigued about Oprah interviewing Lance Armstrong?
by Theocratic Sedition ini'm a bit excited about this to be honest with you.
i'm not even remotely a cycling fan, but all this controversy made it a bit difficult to simply ignore.
i'm curious to see how he does when those questions come at him full force.

I really don't care.
The sports industry could have ended all this nonsense years ago by adopting enhanced events, and keeping legacy events, with two sets of records. Then the public could decide which sports they preferred to watch. But out of greed, they allowed the illusion of events being all legacy events while there were all sorts of enhancements being secretly done. Perhaps we will never know the actual unenhanced world records for many kinds of sports. It is all very shameful.
Enhanced Olympics for Superior Athletes
The International Olympic Committee has announced that beginning in the 2008 games there will be two separate classes of competition.Committee spokesman Kane Neuman explained the new development in the international games with an ancient history.
"We have been fooling ourself for too long, trying to catch athletes who use technology to cheat the games," Neuman said. "We were wrong. We should embrace it and put those people together on a level playing field to compete against each other, while also recognizing athletes who wish to use natural training methods."
"The Natural Olympic Games will be for athletes who do not use drugs, hormones, surgery or genetic alteration to improve their performance. It is the Olympic Games of your grandfather, his father and all those going back to classical times."
"Recognizing modern trends, the Enhanced Olympic Games will allow for any technological advance, and even encourage its promotion. We expect competitors to be genetically enhanced, perhaps use pharmaceutical products and even bring cybernetic augmentation into the competition to show us the best that technology can provide us."
Each class of Olympic competition will maintain its own separate records and issue separate medals and awards.
It is expected that this trend in athletics will expand in the sports world. The Tour de France organizers have also expressed interest in two similar classes of competition.

Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar
by cedars inmy mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .

Cedars, you are just too freaky today.
I will repost that disturbing image, with some keywords to help interested ones find it more easily.
