  I try not to get my hopes up.

  Shades of gray, including becoming even more irrelevant than they already are.

  Having said that, there are many cults that have imploded so I still have hope in my soul.

  "The JW on the far left looks like a Muslim."

  That was my first thought also, mum. But on closer look I think it is her white/blond hairdo rather than a scarf.

  All these people have been outed as cult members!

  the letters reveal how einstein lost most of his nobel prize money in bad bond investments on wall street, and provide details of how he was showered with affection and gifts by his many mistresses.... he became involved with elsa, a cousin, in 1912 when he was still married to his first wife mileva, a fellow scientist with whom he had two boys, hans albert and eduard.

  Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.

  there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.

  'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

  During Your IN Years If You Had Anointed At Your Hall, What Were They Like?

  the scoop of humanity at one khall, the anointed ones" were a mixed group.. one bro, h. had been in for eons.

  he was df for adultery, back in the day when they would announce your sin openly from the platform to everyone.

  he just kept on coming and partaking until he was reinstated.

  "A fourth was a middle aged sister who became “anointed” at the same time as her husband. They were a very close couple & he died a few years later. She then quietly stopped partaking and admitted that when her husband confided to her that he was anointed she felt that she had been emotionally committed to it as she wanted to be with him in heaven."

  The entire "anointed", "other sheep" thing is just comic book religion. When it was distinguished as two classes in 1935 my family was there at the convention. They told stories of how everyone was looking at each other and making proclamations of their "other sheep" "earthly hopes" or a few who had a shit eating grin would declare that they were of the 'heavenly' class. Don't recall any stories about people saying "What a croc of baloney!" and walking away, but I'll bet there were a few.

  Oh, yeah, they also now had a new cool name, Jehovah's Witnesses !

  Yes, wind and solar are only useful when there is wind or sunshine. The Bonneville hydroelectric facility in Oregon has produced uninterrupted power for decades by harnessing the flow of the giant Columbia river. Now that wind farms are sprouting all over eastern Oregon when wind meets a certain output for a certain amount of time, Bonneville must interrupt the power from clean flowing water and bring the wind power into the grid. It is terribly inefficient and expensive. Solar and wind are heavily subsidized through investment tax credits and the manufacturers of the pinwheels are cleaning up. They kill millions of birds and produce sound pollution for anyone unfortunate enough to live within their "humming" zone.

  Storage of power is the problem. The battery solution is pie in the sky and will never happen on a scale to satisfy power needs to equal existing hydro, fossil fuel sources.

  Over the last couple of decades the average auto costs twice as much, is smaller, and gets double mileage.

  So gasoline costs more than twice as much.

  China is a false equivolent. The Kyoto Protocol never fooled anyone.

  Yes, Lisa. That law about runoff from one's property has been around for awhile. Catching water from your house gutters and using it for irrigation of landscape, etc. is illegal and can subject the owner to fines.

  The entire global warming scam is nothing more than a glorified version of this kind of manipulation that comes down to money to feed bureaucracies.
