  I think it's a scam because it showed up for me and I don't have a facebook account.

  Ignore it

  The Guardian hints strongly at why cults like Watchtower get off so lightly with the UK press...

  this article explained a great deal.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/shortcuts/2013/jan/14/cant-read-scientology-book-uk.

  now i know a main reason why it is so difficult to get uk newspapers to pick up a good jw-related story.. it's not just because jws are a tiny religion.

  after all, scientology is arguably even smaller than jws, and they get more media exposure than we do.. it seems the extreme libel laws may be predominantly to blame for the watchtower's successful evasion of newpaper and television reports in the uk.. .

  That's too bad the org always gets to say whatever they want about other religions, governments or whatever and nobody sues them.

  Interesting Genetic Research Published on Dog Evolution

  by cantleave in

  some interesting work has been published this month in nature and reported in various blogs and journals.

  it is work that gives more evidence to support the fact of evolution.

  a team of swedish scientists led by evolutionary geneticist erik axelsson from uppsala university have identified genetic changes that could have been responsible for the transformation of wild wolves, into the ancestors of our beloved pet dogs.

  One day some humans baked some bread

  On some fire so they said

  a wolf stopped by and licked a log

  and then he turned into a dog

  the grains were better than the meat

  besides it made him very sweet

  it all began just like a flash

  when humans started eating grass

  What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?

  by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique in

  i once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.

  due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.

  isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

  One time we had the circuit overseer and the district at the same time. i dont remember who the co was but the do was a nasty guy named Manera i think. He was the proverbial sob for meanness. we went to lunch with both guys and manera treated the waiter so bad it was embarrassing. I think he was in the habit of ordering around young men like a tyrant.

  Feelings about what life should be or what we think it should be can drive us for many years. when your young your time bank account is full and dreams seem possible but as you age and you fully pursue the avenues of your dreams and it's one disappointment after another you sit down and make up a new plan. From now on i will recognize the difference between what I know and what I think I know. It 's really hard to live without a narrative to be truly a free spirit and to say it out loud. I don't know what we are or whose in charge if anyone is or do we exist after we die or not. Living in freefall without anything to hold on to is strange but it is a true place and i always said I wanted truth whatever it turned out to be. So yea some days are better than others sometimes it bothers me to live this answerless life and other times it makes me angry that i bit onto dreams and they turned out to be wrong. However the future goes i don't know but i will not buy into anything that I can't prove but spend the rest of my time rumageing through what evidence I can find, trying to enjoy what I can out of life and especially reveling in the knowledge that i am living as Thoreau coined deliberately, to front only the essential facts of llfe and not when i came to die discover that I had not lived.

  Jack and Buster ran for the woods

  holding fast their treasured goods

  On their heels the magpie flew

  No one knew what she would do

  Running with their hair on fire

  Wishing that old bird would tire

  Deep in the woods a secret spot

  Where they hid to smoke some pot

  I believe there are many unsolved mysteries on this planet. We often read books and the authors just say primitive humans decided one day to grab a handful of grass and agriculture was born and wolves showed up eating leftovers and turned onto dogs. It's not that simple the real question is where do the grains come from? I can't imagine a primitive human imagining that grasses could turn into wheat or corn if they started planting the tastier pieces. I'm leaning towards the anunnaki theory. All the indigenous people in the americas said the gods gave them corn. So who are the gods? I'm thinking this planet has had some genetic manipulation an it's not from jehovah, jesus or angels .

  No matter how prepared one is for the inevitable the moment is always intense.
