has anyone ever pondered over the two scripture's at matthew 25: 31, 32 and daniel 12:1?
the first tells us that the son of man is "sitting down" ... and that then a "separating" work begins.
then in daniel 12:1 it tells us that when michael "stands up" a great time of trouble ensues.. do you think it's possible he is not yet "standing up?

the words: intellectual laziness.
recognize this trait?
ahhh,many who apostasies from the one truth, shall we say ,adopts this trait-and transforms into epitomies of intellectual laziness...they construct the premise there is no true god to mislead others...they proceed to construct arguments to support these prefabricated conclusions with the building blocks of false logic...they convince intellectually lazy individuals the odds of a creators existence are remote...a lie recognizable to any form of honest intelligence.. craig rusbult, ph.d. explains why god refuses to provide irrefutable proof in his existence on the web page http://www.asa3.org/asa/education/views/proof.htm - "although it isn't stated directly in the bible, god seems to prefer a balance of evidence: there is enough reason to believe if we want to believe, but not enough to intellectually force belief against our will.
I suggest that Elke and Erich should hang out in a place better suited for their talents: alt.usenet.kooks.

the watchtower depicted the world trade center as a tool of the devil.. http://www.thetruthhurts.freeservers.com/wtc.htm.
i'm working on some new pages of interesting cuts from the watchtower's book, revelation: its grand climax at hand!.
suggestions welcome.. exjws.net.
I've tried to find the WTC towers in the pics from page 127, but I don't see 'em.

below is a scanned article from the august 22, 1967 awake!
magazine that deals with women and why they don't hold positions of authority in the wachtower.
metatron brought this subject up a few months ago and someone was nice enough to give me the actual article.
The whole article is insulting, but the brain size thing just takes the cake. Anyone who deals with parrots or crows knows that brain size doesn't correspond directly with intelligence; "bird brain" is an unfair insult to birds. And lots of animals with huge brains aren't nearly as intelligent as humans.

how to make an atheist backslide .
there is no god .
Some people just enjoy breaking things, painting graffiti, poking caged animals with sticks, and pushing emotional buttons to see the results. These people are "trolls".
Trolling has an opportunity cost ... not to mention the "boy who cried wolf" effect. Personally, I know I won't take Rex as seriously as I might have.

teacher banned for spilling the beans on santa.
canberra (reuters) - an australian primary school banned a teacher after she told a class of six year olds that santa claus does not exist.. angry parents from the corowa public school demanded action when some children arrived home in tears after a reserve teacher, on her first day on the job, told them their parents brought their presents.. "santa claus has always visited our house at christmas," mother vanessa lohse told the daily telegraph newspaper.. "my three kids (aged five, six, and eight) don't believe santa is real now -- it's really put a damper on christmas.".
Truth is more dangerous than fiction.
"Of course there's a Santa Claus, Mom. You wouldn't lie to me!" -- my nephew, shortly before disillusionment

reason 1. jws use a cultic language that keeps them in a constant state of social hypnosis.
transformational grammar teaches that our language directly affects our subjective experience.
in working with some former jws i had to confiscate certain words and have them create substitutes for something that was more neutral.
NYTel: All-or-nothing fallacies won't cut it around here. Individuals remain individual, even while their invididuality and independence are subjugated via techniques of persuasion and control.
