Frank Zappa on the coming 'Fascist Theocracy'. (1986)

by hillary_step in

apart from the comic value of this interview in which frank zappa presents his views on censorship, i found it interesting that he was mocked for suggesting that the us was set on a course that was leading to a 'fascist theocracy'.

this was recorded in 1986 so the quality is a little ragged, but the spirit shows through!.

Bizzare fixation with dates.

by blueviceroy in

Sorry about the premature epostulation

Why do proponents of a religion become fixated on a date ?

What meaning can one obtain from information that is beyond an individuals experience?

How does an uncertain belief like unprovable dates bring a satisfying and fullfilling answer?

If you have an answer founded on ideals outside your own experience , you will still have questions , if you buy someone elses answer , it will be ill fitting and you will still have questions.

Starting at the point where we all have a common experience and completely understanding what is real about this existence, is a really good starting point in a life that is worth living .

Running after the belief your neighbor sold you and doing your best to put it on and own it , meh , that sucks ass!

how is the WT a "literature selling scam"?

by inkling in

i have heard several people refer to the society as publishing company in the business.

of selling books and magazines.. i just don't see how this view can be valid considering that i almost never see.

any "voluntary contributions" come in from the door-to-door work.

The books are paid for by members and distributed by free labor

Quote From This Weeks Revelation Climax Study-Any Comments?

by Justitia Themis in

18 what john sees foreshadows remarkably the experience of the john class at the beginning of the lords day.

their understanding of jehovahs purposes, including the implication of the seven thunders, was then incomplete.

chill a big glass or mug in the freezer.

drop in two scoops of good vanilla ice cream and pour in a well chilled, quality brand of root beer and fill to the top.

drop in a straw and grab an ice teaspoon and escape for a few minutes into pure sensory pleasure.

Take two on a lazy weekend day with your children , lay on the couch and discuss the motivation of Mr. Crabs and whether or not sSponge Bob is mental or just really naive, and call me in the morning if you don't feel better ,

bear with me, i promice you'll be happy you read this, .

here at uga, i studied in the micro-biology department for the first three years of college-organic chem 3 pretty much ended my career.

i think evolution is pretty sound sans the fact that they haven't answered the question of how life began.

The force of creation is not a servant , it is not a personality upon whom we may impose ourselves , or ask a favor or expect a moral point of view ,

The force of creation gave us life ,this life , very simple . We are here , Ergo a force caused us to be . That force is God ,whatever that is.

The truth isn't about feeling good or being asured, it's about being liberated and experiencing personal responsibility for our actions and not being given a purpose other than the one the creator put in us

The people who convince us that God answers a prayer are the ones who sold us out and took God from us in the first place.

A prayer heard by the force of creation?

A desire to improve oneself into a more altruistic state with the aid of this creative force might get you somewhere , but to pray for an end to suffering?

Our greatest blessing is the suffering which directs us to change.
