My wonderful fiancée and I met shortly after I began my fade and it turned out she was also a fader. We met by pure coincidence on eharmony five years ago.
Needle in a haystack, maybe, but they are out there.

One of the hardest things I must do while in...
by OneDayillBeFree inive had many single sisters (even the hot ones that horny brothers like to circle around during intermissions at assemblies/conventions) come to me recently asking if im single, what my spiritual goals are and how high in the ranks i am.
i just tell them that im not interested in relationships at the moment and that my focus is on other things.
they usually get the message and leave me alone.. but i lie.. .

mP, would you care to elaborate on why he is a "fraud" and doesn't know anything? I read and appreciated the book and thought he was very even-handed, giving equal voice to the opposition.
Or maybe my sarcasm meter is broken.

Askduane, you realize that none of those events actually happened, right? There is no historical or archaeological evidence for any of it. Or were you being facetious?

Bethelite sent to India for heart surgery.
by marmot inan uncle of mine is a lifer at the brooklyn bethel and he was recently sent to india for open heart surgery.
it's so much cheaper compared to getting the procedure done in the us it's ridiculous.
does anybody know if it's the society that pays for all this or if it's up to each bethelite's own health insurance?

Psuedoscientific Things JWs Say
by LostGeneration ini distinctly remember more than 30 years ago asking my grandfather how all of the races came about after the flood.. "well, noahs three sons were black, white, and oriental, and thats how all of the races came to be".
wtf, i thought to myself, even as a 9 year old kid.
a few years later i remember sitting in the kh listening to the sunday talk when the speaker went over the old "water canopy" theory, but of course presented it as fact.

One that always bugged me was this notion that the Israelites were somehow super advanced in terms of medicine and sanitation because God purportedly told them to shit outside the camp. This is coming from the same bunch of superstitious ancient nitwits that believed buildings could catch leprosy and said buildings could be cured with bird's blood.

Why Won't They Carbon Date This?
by Perry in"for the first time in human history a dinosaur fossil is presenting us with the opportunity to see what a living dinosaur looked like.
in 2001 a field research team unearthed the worlds most complete dinosaur fossil, a brachylophosaurus nicknamed leonardo.
this incredible dinosaur has all of its skin covering its body, missing only a bit on the head and tail.

For one thing, carbon dating is only effective up to about 50 thousand years, this find is over 70 million years old. The actual soft tissue has long since disappeared and has been replaced by minerals that have preserved the shape.
Here is some more info from National Geographic on the subject: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/10/1010_021010_dinomummy.html

GLOBAL FLOOD . . . Did it Really Happen?
by sizemik inthis question became an off-topic sidetrack in another thread.
i thought it might be worth some debate so posted here .
the debate is basically between mainstream geological understanding of the earth's history and "young earth creationism" in particular with how the evidence relates to the occurrence of a global flood in the recent past.. a couple of points from the yec website www.icr.org are raised as examples in order to kick things off .

The "local flood" apologists continually trot out the false theory that all mankind lived in a localized area in the middle east some 5000 years ago, which is patently ridiculous. Ask any archaeologist worth his/her salt about this or just do some basic research about human activity in North America or China or even Egypt during this time period. One of the big turning points to my rejection of the literal interpretation of the bible was one day in class where we examined photos of a stone spear tip embedded in the rib cage of an ice age North American bison and butcher marks on the bones of a wooly mammoth. No flood came and wiped these people out, I descended from them. Unless you subscribe to the Mormon's viewpoint that I actually descended from a lost tribe of Israel who wiped out the Nephites.
