  Scott: fortunately I never been in situation to really need a car (I live in a relatively small town, and walking is healthy, taxis are cheap when in need), so I only drove small carts in my youth. I often wondered whether the careless driving in games would affect me in real life, were I to actually drive. GT5 on the other hand is a simulator, so I'm guessing there will be a realism setting, that when you set all the way up, the car will get as much damage as in real life, so no reckless driving there. Still you will probably drive over 100-150 mph most of the time.

  The first video made some points, but they were blurred by the blatant appeal to flattery fallacy. Come on, every intelligent person should see the problem with that video

  As others said before me: inner peace is the undeniable result of prayer, and that was not part of the scientific study.

  I watched the Gran Turismo 5 trailer in hi-def, and I had to collect my jaws from the floor. It can easily pass as a movie. I played the contest version of GT5 (it was a free contest in March, one lap, best time wins a trip to F1 in South Africa I think), and I was quite impressed. Have to look for this one.

  The 'you don't look happy' theory, the anorexic masturbator, and other crazy cunundrums(?)

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so it was that we were having another emotionally charged conversation, my parents and i. in the course of it, they condescendingly told me i wasnt happy, because i just dont look like it to them (they don't even know me anymore, as we have no real relationship-- the never-ending assumptions they make of others infuriates me to no end!!).

  my theory~~~ of course df'd family and ex-friends don't look happy to them!

  what they see (if they ever encounter us) is someone who is dead to them, has been publicly flogged emotionally and mentally~~~why would we fake a smile and pretend everything is normal and ok when we see them?

  'masturbation' is arousing you sexually (no duh!) and that it could tempt you to fornication

  Yep, the old slippery slope fallacy. They love that. Don't hold hands, because that leads to kissing, that leads to fondling, that leads to sex. Don't say hello to a DFd, because that leads to more indepth talk, that leads to regular chattings, that leads to close friendship (oh I wish it was that easy...).

  Why are jw children so parent depended?

  by XPeterX in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have seen many jw teens who can't behave properly in the outside world or won't go out alone unless they give detailed report to their families.in addition,they give the impression that they can't be on their own unless dad or mom is near them.correct me if i'm wrong but that's what i think.....

  and if the children actually go out and do something by themselves and they succeed, nothing is said

  That's the better case. I ofter heard JWs say about such ones, that Satan is helping them to convince them to stay out in the world. You can't win against a cult, anything happens it can be twisted to support their beliefs.

  Go to the KH with a phallos on a chain in your neck, and when an elder confronts you about it, say "You have a phallic symbol in your neck, why can't I?" - while pointing to his tie.

  Go to the assembly, ignore parking attendants and park where you think best.

  Dress up nicely, stand in the entrance of the KH and light a smoke.

  When given a magazine, ask "Could I have fries with that?"

  or

  Live a good life. That will offend many JWs.

  Can a Jehovah's Witness nurse/doctor administer a blood transfusion?

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  have the watchtower society said/printed that witnesses who are medical staff are not allowed to participate in the blood transfusion process?

  .

  surely they would not showing proper respect for blood and would that be a disfellowshipping offence?.

  It's a conscience matter. I can't give you the exact quote, I just read it a couple of hours ago in "In Search of Christian Freedom", there was a WT article referenced too, but I don't have the book with me right now.

  JW Pejorative Use of Words to Belittle Others

  by maputo95 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a comment to my jw friend on the definition of doctrine and how the wtbts uses the term 'doctrine' pejoratively and mockingly to describe ideas of the people of 'christiandom,' another derogatory word.

  can anybody think of other words the jws use to attack people of other persuasions?.

  "you have a misunderstood word on 'doctrines' as the bible is full of doctrine written by the men who authored the bible.. see definition of doctrine: a doctrine is a body of teaching and the bible contains a body of teaching.

  It's a funny story, but I don't think the other guy was a JW, the blogger only mentioned JWs in connection to how you can't get rid of them by simply saying you don't speak their language.

  Are you talking about the logo thing on page 23? I can't swear on it, but I think my wife's hungarian paper version doesn't have the tower either. But I just checked both the hungarian and the italian WT online (http://www.jw.org/index.html?option=QrYQCsVrGZNT) and they both have the logo.
