  Message from Trey Bundy, investigative reporter for the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR)

  today we're launching disfellowshipped, a three-episode story about the jehovah's witnesses' practice of shunning, told in virtual reality.. we designed disfellowshipped to be an immersive experience, best viewed with a vr headset.

  (you can find several affordable models on amazon.

  ) but you can also watch it on most newer smartphones and desktops in 360-degree flat video, without a headset.

  About four pages in, there's a talking snake.

  Had I not been indoctrinated with this crap since I was 5 or 6, I would have been done right there.

  just wondering.

  for you scotch lovers, i've been partial to singles for a long time, but was recently given a bottle of johnnie walker green.

  i think i've fallen in love.

  Once upon a time. . . . I was given a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue as a gift. It was an outstanding blended whiskey.

  But as far as I'm concerned, nothing beats MacAllan 18. It is a remarkable scotch, and draws a remarkable price.

  22 fascinating maps that show how Americans speak English differently across the US

  everyone knows americans don't agree on pronunciations.. that's great, because regional accents and dialects are a major part of why american english is so interesting.. josh katz, a former ph.d. student of statistics at north carolina state university, published a group of awesome visualizations of professor bert vaux and scott golder's linguistic survey, which looked at differences in american dialects (via detsl on /r/linguistics).. his results were first published on the abstract, the nc state university research blog.

  the complete set of katz's maps, updated with the results from more than 350,000 new survey responses, are compiled in the new book "speaking american," publishing october 25 from houghton mifflin harcourt.. katz gave business insider permission to publish some of the coolest maps from his collection..

  Poor Philadelphia with their bizarre belief that a "sub" is a "hoagie."

  They're lock-step with Watchtower on that one (anyone remember the "hoagies" served at district conventions?)

  very interesting lecture and q&a session by professor eric smith of the santa fe institute.

  in his discussion of the primacy of energy there is a lot of overlap with the ideas of nick lane of university college london.

  if you still think abiogenesis had something to do with "primordial soup" you should invest half an hour to watch this.. ....

  when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

  for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

  i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

  How do we know JWs are wrong and how do we convince others JWs are wrong: logic versus persuasion

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we like to think we are logical and have good reasons for for our beliefs.

  no more so than when it comes to our reasons for rejecting the truth claims of jws.

  we reject their version of history, such as the date of the fall of jerusalem, because it doesn't agree with the historical evidence.

  I'm not a big fan of the terms "convince" or "persuade."
