What is the Original Religion?
by Satanus inseems to me that the primordial religion, if it could be called that, is a form of paganism that has pantheism, animism and shamanism.
also, it may contain sun worship.
in this 'religion', they felt a connection w the land, had respect for nature and the animals.

Y'all are building a good case for evolution of the mind here.
It sounds like we were an experiment all along.
Maybe we are headed "Back to the Beginning"
"Now, yet another example of the Environmental Religion comes to the forefront. It now appears that the writings of the chief prophet of the United Church of Environmentalism are now being placed in a hotel in place of the Gideon bible, long a staple in American hotel rooms. Gaia Nappa Valley Hotel and Spa will find an edition of the prophet’s writings, “An Inconvenient Truth.” "

I had to dig for this: TULA
Luta - an industrial conurbation in northeastern China on the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula; it now includes the cities of Dalian and Lushun
As of 2001 India census GRIndia , Atul had a population of 5356. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. Atul has an average literacy rate of 84%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with 55% of the males and 45% of females literate. 9% of the population is under 6 years of age.
UTLA is not available in the Wikipedia encyclopedia
UTAL is not available in the Wikipedia encyclopedia
and then, there is altu often we look for things that are not there.

What Dreams Have you Had, and have you Talked in Your Sleep ?
by flipper innow here is a little different subject we haven't discussed much.
i read a book a while back about dreams called, gestalt therapy verbatim , by frederick perls, a well known psychologist .
his take on dreams, without getting too deep, was we dream about unfinished situations in our lives which are troubling us still .

I have a few things to say about it myself. This has not been covered because a certain distraction has prevented this thread from evolving into constructive commentary. Let me take care of it for you, and then, we'll carry on.
Many years ago a JW mother and her little boy came to my door. The kid opened up with "bad things going on in the world" and I said something like "you shouldn't be worrying about things like that. And besides, haven't you been told that children should be seen and not heard?"
I am sure he didn't know what the heck I meant. His mother did not seem too bright comprehending it either. But I went on to say something to her about it being improper for a child to usurp authority over an adult.
Since the JWs believe that a woman is not to teach or instruct, how much more ludicrous is it to send a child to prostelitize to adult strangers? They don't even know what they are doing! This kid was probably about 7 years old.
Perhaps if when we encountered such situations we could say something to put the parents in their place. And also something to the child to make him realize something is not right...like "why aren't you watching cartoons this morning? or building a tree-house? Or at the playground with the other children?" Maybe just maybe those words will ring to him and come to mind later when he is thinking about life.

so who would you see as giving a fair shake to telling the other side of the story?
JWism has really only affected a section of society that most people just don't feel needs help.
There are other cults as well. I wonder what percent of US population is involved in cults (all inclusive). It may be bigger than you think.
Dr. Phil would be a good choice, I think.
Oprah would stay away from that much controversy.

I was down near the swamp picking some mushrooms and then I saw Bigdreux and his twin buddy-reux. They were going for craw-daddies.
They stopped and well, we kinda got into the mushrooms. Anyway, we found a lot of craw-daddies and one special one. He talks.
We went on down into the swamp and buddy-reux showed us how to catch a turtle. He found us an alligator snapping turtle to make some soup. Craw-dayy here is gonna give us the recipe.
You know how them boys catch turtles? They get in the swamp barefoot and scoot along the bottom. When the feel a turtle they rub their feet on his back to see which way the spines are going...so that way they can reach down and pick up the turtle at the back end and not get bit. Did you know that?

do you have a social worker who can recommend child psychologist to attest to childrens damage? ( i.e. ostracism of classmates, and psychological harm inflicted by cults, discipline by a judicial committee rather than parent)

Hi. I came early to help decorate. I brought some chickens with me. They lay green eggs.
I have to tell you, this city slicker came up the other day and asked me where was the rooster. I said I don't have one. He looked at me so funny...and then he said...well then how come your chickens lay eggs without a rooster.
I tried hard not to laugh because he was perfectly serious. I said "well, honey, chickens don't need a rooster to lay eggs." He looked at his friends to confirm this. They just shrugged.
He says to me, "well then, what's a rooster for?"
I replied..."in case they have to move a sofa, I guess."
I'll be back with a song later. I think one of your guests will be bringing a few bales of hay and I heard someone mention a tractor pull.
I think it someone might even be bringing over a couple of monster trucks for a mud ride at the creek. I hear the road is washed out pretty bad. Great for some mud wrestling drives.
