Ridiculously overdone?
Oh yes.
Evil?
Only if you dislike calling thump-thump-thump with a half-naked chick prancing around "music" as much as I do.
today i got three seperate emails stating that lady gaga has sold her soul to the devil and is using her music and videos to further satan's goals.
they then go take the various symbology and wording in her music and videos and explain what they mean/represent.
she is rather wild and out there, and yes i'll admit she does use a lot of symbolism in her music videos.

without specifics being mentioned as to what it is......(to avoid tipping off certain lurkers).. how many people know about the upcoming summer long campaign?
please use this thread to confirm receipt of your campaign invitation.
take care.
I'd loooove to know what this's all about!
some of my favorite people are~.
after leaving the religion, my lesbian couple friends were the most compassionate people, and i will always love them!.
i am heterosexual, but find gays to be absolutely fabulous!!.
I might have asked this before, but what mandala is that?

Maybe it's just where I live, but a lot of them seem to have this whole. "I'm perfect and you're not, so I wouldn't even piss on you to put you out if you were on fire" thing going on.
this organization is truly international in scope.
at present there are bethels in the united states, canada, australia, the philippines and brazil with other countries expressing interest.. the international order of job's daughters is operated in a democratic manner, similar to masonic lodges as well as other masonic family organizations.
in bethels, adult co-workers known as the bethel guardian council (consisting of a bethel guardian, associate bethel guardian, and others) supervise each bethel and are appointed yearly - with special consideration given to recommendations from the members of the bethel.. .
To be ANYTHING like the Masons would be a major step up for the WTBTS. Granted, the Masons in America aren't really a mystery cult anymore, but just a social club. However, to get in, you still have to be an honorable, free, well-attested person.
oh al, we hardly knew ye!.

Man, there's a world of difference between villabolo and beks. One can formulate rational responses to opponents while apparently operating under the assumption that they are neither dishonest nor stupid and one, well, can't.

1 - The Air Temp Anomaly map also shows significantly lower temperatures over North America, Russia, and Northern Europe. It's only supportive evidence if one starts with the assumption that temps that are still well-below freezing matter, and that temperature anomalies are in some way related to increased CO2 levels.
2 - The UAH chart shows a minor anomaly, about one-fifth of a degree. That sort of change, much like the increase of one part per million that has occured in the pct of CO2 in the atmosphere, isn't anywhere near enough to effect anything. Further, as the chart itself shows, there have been significant anomalies that have nothing to do with human causes.
3 - Regressions in science have the same problem as regressions in the social sciences - they show past trends, but don't show anything about the future unless one operates with a supposition that the future will be like the past, which is frequently untrue.
Look at the very end of the graph. You'll notice a fairly precipitous drop in temperatures, about one-fifth of a degree in one year. If you compare that drop with the regression line, it took from 1989 to 2007 for the temperature to increase by the same amount.
4 - You rightfully mock skeptics for taking isolated portions of climate history and portraying it as the whole. Meanwhile, we seem to have to presume that there was no climate before 1979, as that's when our similiarly isolated data starts. ;-)
or what are the forces of inertia that keep jehovers witnesses from changing?.
acolytes.
Leavingwt,
With all due respect, I think you're dead wrong. There are plenty of vulnerable people now, but how many of them are converting? I know people are converting in developing nations, but I think that has a lot more to do with the fact that the Witnesses and other "evangelical" religions are a new phenomenon there, and also because of lack of information about them.
i remember when i was a witless, i spouted the words "it's the most accurate translation".... i'm sure you did too :).
i've been researching the topic of just how badly the nwt is mistranslated.
i keep finding more and more examples of blatant mutilation of scriptures in the nwt.. for the record, i love to know just where are they finding these "scholars" to prop up their assertions that their joke of a bible is the "most accurate"?
If he teaches greek at a university, as the site to which you linked asserts, then he does have training in a biblical language.

Villabolo, where is that image from? Is it a compilation of data from weather stations, or from satelites? Satelite data tends to be much more accurate because there aren't the extensive coverage problems that one finds with weather stations.
And what does any of what you said have to do with CO2 in the atmosphere? Are we to simultaneously assume that a) CO2 is unable to diffuse at some relatively even level throughout the entire atmosphere in the same way that any soluble compound will do in a fluid, and b) that even though it is unable to diffuse throughout the atmosphere, it somehow travels very, very far from its source of origin?
And even then, of what relevance is the fact that the arctic is "warmer than normal"? The artic temps are still WELL below the freezing point of water...
