Jehovah's Witnesses claim no one is disfellowshipped for pursuing Higher Education. Somehow it seems there must be some halfwit sorry excuse for an elder somewhere who personally felt threatened by over educated young whippersnappers and decided to mark every nerd he could point his sweaty little finger with.

Perhaps Eve was really a Neanderthal!
by skeeter1 inheard this researcher on dr. radio, and wanted to share the story.
science keeps blowing away the pre-biblical notion of adam and eve.. skeeter.
the dna from the 45,000-year-old bone of a man from siberia is helping to pinpoint when modern humans and neanderthals first interbred, researchers say.. although modern humans are the only surviving human lineage, others once lived on earth.

Moments of Lucidity/What do I put in her coffee to keep her this way?
by SonoftheTrinity inhow should you react when all of a sudden, a loved one has a moment of lucidity.
within the space of a couple of hours, my wife talked about politics, race relations, and gave the kids a passionate lecture about how life sucks without a college degree which is why they should study.

My wife's paranoid moments are such that magic mushrooms would not be good. She has said our Jack Russell Chihuahua is controlled by demons and obsesses about the risks of firewood being stolen if left on the front porch. I guess with magic mushrooms I could introduce her to the gnomes who are going to be protecting our firewood from now on. I know about Catholicism on psychedelics, just google Santo Daime, but I wonder about JW on psychedelics. A lot of staring at bad magazine art?

Religious nuttery alerts
by Simon init seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.
it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!
) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.

I wrote somewhere praises to Jah He made me a Rastaman and not a Dub. The oppressed too often unknowingly becomes an oppressor, and if my chauvinism was anywhere hurtful or oppressive I am sorry. But I don't think I'm a religious nut. I'm with the Episcopals, the Secular Humanists, and the Buddhists and I say with no apology that skepticism is a virtue, as great a virtue as faith, perhaps greater, but not as great as Love. So where Jah is Love I am a believer, where Jah is not love I am an atheist. I certainly don't believe in the Jehovah of parents who sacrifice their children at the hospital like They are Abraham, or the Jehovah of disfellowshipping. My Jah is a loving daddy who likes to tell stories and some of his slower children interpret them literally and use as some kind of cure-all science book. And as far as Aspergers like posters, I have Aspergers Yayyy! I should make Special Ed my logo!

They aren't particularly media savvy. The smug earnestness with which he said the homosexuals love seeing you in tight pants, instead of incorporating it into a joke to make a serious point, has him coming across as a repressed homosexual.

why we do not have to read the bible daily,
by sowhatnow inor for that matter at all, from my perspective ,.
the only place in the bible that there is a mentioning of reading something [in an undertone day and night] [that i can find].
is in the hebrew scritures.

Reading the Bible Daily is great. Its reading it with the JW spin job that'll turn your brain into Guacamole.

I have Aspergers and I am married to a JW woman. Thank God I was born with Aspergers and I found Rastafari before i met my wife. Otherwise I might actually fit into their spiritual straight-jacket.

Have you investigated Gnostic Christianity?
by Gnostic Bishop inhave you investigated gnostic christianity?.
the gnostic wing of christianity, if it can even be called that today, has quite a few differences to christianity and catholicism.
if the old gnostic christians were here, they would hardly recognize what has happened to the original orthodox catholic church or its various offshoots in protestantism and islam.

Are you in contact with the Mandaean refugees of Iraq? Preserving the only unbroken ancient community of Gnostics must be of importance to Gnostics today.
