  I figured it out right away, he used different cards than the one he showed you. You could have picked any card and it wouldn't have been there. The trick works on the premise that most people will focus on the card they picked and have only a vague idea of which ones are left. He uses face cards for a reason: they look the most alike. When he reveals the cards, he uses the face cards of different suits. He also threw in a couple number cards in the original selection, thinking that most people would focus on the cars that are unlike the rest. I picked the Queen of Clubs, but noticed there were two 3's. When he revealed the cards at the end, I noticed the 3's were missing.

  Usually the same uninformed mumbo-jumbo about carbon dating being flawed and so-on and so-forth.

  oh, the beautiful irony.. .

  opponents of evolution are adopting new strategyby laura beilpublished: june 4, 2008dallas opponents of teaching evolution, in a natural selection of sorts, have gradually shed those strategies that have not survived the courts.

  over the last decade, creationism has given rise to creation science, which became intelligent design, which in 2005 was banned from the public school curriculum in pennsylvania by a federal judge.

  "The way I see it evolution from an amoeba is as far fetched as the bible being the word of God."
  
  That's because you haven't bothered to study evolution and that it doesn't say an amoeba gave birth to a human. Incidently, it takes 5 times the amount of DNA to make an amoeba as it does a human.

  "(Depicts attitudes and situations that likely existed at the end of the 1st century as the great apostasy was setting in.)"
  
  I love how the society can use the word likely and the Jehorobots will nod their heads until they come off, accepting it as undeniable fact. First drama I've heard of where the entire story was MADE UP!

  This elder likely got disfellowshipped for "fits of anger." It's rare, but people have been disfellowshipped for it.

  i have never posted my personal story about my years as a jw, and my departure from the organization.

  i thought that my personal story might be of interest.

  it is my hope that some of my experiences and observations might be of help to some of you who have recently left the organization.

  so, i keep hearing reference to this.

  was this just taking place in really small congregations?

  i mean, i know the philosophy behind it; my mom would put a hat on to pray in front on my "unbelieving" dad.

  Having to sit during the pledge of allegiance and hear the kids doing a terrible job of whispering quietly enough about me so that I don't hear. Also, having to go to the library during sex ed and the evolution parts of biology class.
