Watchtower using MK Ultra/Monarch programming?
by NoStonecutters ini have always wondered if the watchtower, being a major player in the brainwashing industry, is part of or incorporates mk ultra programming.. for those not familiar with it, project mk ultra was an illegal cia mind control program that apparently still exists unofficially through monarch butterfly programming.
childern are often the victims of this program, as social engineers and psychological operators found that sexually and physically abusing children produced traits beneficial to the intelligence community, like photographic memory and amnesia (good for carriers of secrets and sensitive information).
monarch programming also produces candidates for manchurian operations.. anyways, it seems that the cia could definitely benefit by using the watchtower to carry out some of this programming, as the structure of the watchtower kingdom halls makes it easy for predators to abuse kids with impunity.. i did a search on this forum and found at least one person who claims to have been a victim of this, if i am reading correctly.

So ARE Mormons a cult?
by Found Sheep inhad a short, cuz i cut it off, conversation about mormons today.

I dislike the use of the term "cult" because everybody's definition of a cult is something other than what they belong to. You end up arguing about the meaning of the word. I prefer calling such organizations toxic social groups. Randy published on one of my articles on freeminds.org.
In my thinking, ANY group can be toxic to a person who is willing to erase his sense of self for the group. The difference is that some groups don't tolerate any other kind of person.

I just googled the salary issue. The only thing I could find from what I would consider a reliable source (all the others were commentary and blogs) was a report in the WSJ that some of the creditors are alleging that some of the executive compensation was changed from performance incentives to salary.
Two things to note:
This is an allegation, not a fact.
If true it was an attempt to sidestep the bankruptcy regulations and they will have to pay it back.

Taking alcohol into the veins (WBT$ illo) - can someone deconstruct this for me?
by punkofnice inok. so i've heard that the wbt$ say that having alcohol into the body intraveniously (how do you spell it?
), when the doctor says you shouldn't have alcohol is baaaadddd!
so you wouldn't have a blood transfusion because invisible sky friend jar hoover says it's baaaaaddddddd.. no doubt the illustration is beyond crazy but how is the best way to deconstruct it?.

A blood transfusion is a medical procedure ordered by a doctor. Drinking alcohol is not.

Fakesmile, I agree about "The Postman" I thought it was better than the book. It suffered from having been Costner's next movie following "Waterworld," which was awful. It got you to wondering how many movies he could make about loners.
Frank Darabont - Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile
Robert Aldrich - the original Flight of the Phoenix, The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Yard, The Frisco Kid, Twilight's Last Gleaming, Hush Hush Sweet Charlote, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, and a bunch more.

Harry Turtledove
by sooner7nc indoes anyone like harry turtledove's alternative history novels?
i'm currently reading the great war series..

I read "Guns of the South" and found it mildly entertaining, I've looked at some of the others. Alternate History interests me, but I think his stuff is too dependent on invading aliens and the like.
