  After coming around to critical thinking in the last couple years, my belief in a lot of fringe stuff has greatly decreased.

  Bigfoot, Loch Ness monster, Roswell, Area 51, health quackery, the less nutty alien theories, etc. etc.

  There are definately 'secret' societies; groups like Bilderberg, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, which are pretty documented at this point. The question is, what are the real purposes of these groups? Reading about them from non-fringe/conspiracy sources is interesting. I recommend the writeups/podcasts done by Skeptoid on these.

  It is quite possible the members of some of these groups have fringe/alien/satanism/whatever beliefs themselves, or that there are secret groups within these societies that practice things not known to the general members.

  i was recently in the company of a jw.

  this is a long time devout jw and i served them a meal.

  i was surprised by their reaction, they simply sat down, grabbed a fork and began shoveling???

  You could never go on a picnic or a camping trip with JW's without someone having to do a public prayer or where a watchtower study would spontaneously break out.

  Ahh! The spontaneous Saturday Watchtower studies. Camping at the state park, visiting other jws on vacation, if a number of those present hadn't 'studied their lesson,' you were at risk for the vacation Watchtower pre-study! It was like having another meeting! Praise Jah!

  Active Bethelites, former Bethelites, is it true that brothers are not allowed to have their head fully shaved?

  by La Falta Habitacion Por Sr Hor-Hey!! in

  i just heard this directly from a circuit heavyweight i had the displeasure of conversing with recently.

  he and i got into a little bit of a heated conversation about following the direction of the slave as related to education, and he used the example of bethelites being prohibited from having fully shaved heads.

  he was taken aback when i expressed how utterly ridiculous such a policy was/is.

  Shaved heads make householders think you are involved in student revolt.

  hi guys,.

  i call myself a lurker, but it's really been a short time since i've known about this site...it's only been five days.

  i discovered this site while doing personal research on the topics of porneia, oral sex, and mutual masturbation, and found a thread on this site about it.

  The use of seperate iPods/music players (as well as the trend away from keeping music as files on your own device and more toward simply listening to such music from the 'cloud' or internet radio services), digital cameras, and gps have fallen off dramatically since their usage has been integrated into smartphones.

  The better current smartphones contain a more than adequate point and shoot digital camera.

  A smartphone allows you to immediately share/post an image with anyone online or with a similar device.

  It also allows access to a world of apps, or applications, that perform specific functions. Popular apps include those for music, social networking, sharing your location with others, checking the weather, scanning barcodes in stores for price comparison, reading books, ordering lunch, allowing an individual to accept credit card payments, and of course, games.

  the rest of that song is completely trash, but you have to admit that part where the beat changes and it gets all thunderous.....is serious business.

  i mean it goes from yellow canaries to godzilla in a flash and you can't help but to get into it.

  leave it to the wt to not capitalize on the part that's actually good.
