  this is and odd topic but there is a part of me that really misses feeling that i knew more about the world than 99.9% of the people.

  i spent so many years in school being the odd person because of religion.

  i embraced it to some extent.

  i just thought i would share this.

  it looks like it is from a slam poetry competition.

  if you dont know about slam it could be compared to spoken word or hip-hop without lyrics.

  i never cease to be amazed by the sacrifice that the wts foolishly requires.

  one of the larger sacrifices is that of personal freedom that has been demanded of young men and women around the globe.

  many are sent to prison for several years and have a felony on their record for life.

  anger as iran bans women from universitiesfemale students in iran have been barred from more than 70 university degree courses in an officially-approved act of sex-discrimination which critics say is aimed at defeating the fight for equal women's rights.in a move that has prompted a demand for a un investigation by iran'smost celebrated human rights campaigner, the nobel laureate shirin ebadi, 36 universities have announced that 77 ba and bsc courses in the coming academic year will be "single gender" and effectively exclusive to men.. .

  it follows years in which iranian women students have outperformed men, a trend at odds with the traditional male-dominated outlook of the country's religious leaders.

  Be Thankful You Weren't in this Underground Cult! Literally Under-Ground

  moscow (reuters) - seventy members of an islamist sect who have been living in an underground bunker without heat or sunlight for nearly a decade have been discovered living on the outskirts of the city of kazan in russia, local media reported.. the sect members included 20 children, the youngest of whom had just turned 18 months.

  many of them were born underground and had never seen daylight until the prosecutors discovered their dwelling on august 1 and sent them for health checks.. a 17-year-old girl turned out to be pregnant.. religion was suppressed in the soviet union which collapsed in 1991, prompting various cults and sects to flourish in the vacuum that opened up.. the group - known as the "fayzarahmanist" sect - was named after its 83-year-old organiser fayzrahman satarov, who declared himself a prophet and his house an independent islamic state, according to a report by state tv channel vesti.. satarov was described as a former deputy to a sunni islamic cleric in the 1970s.

  his followers were encouraged to read his manuscripts and most were banned from leaving their eight-storey underground bunker which had been dug in the basement of a building, vesti said.. prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into the sect and have said it will be disbanded if it continues its illegal activities, such as stopping its members from seeking medical assistance or education.. no arrests have been made although police are likely to look into suspicions that some of the children were being abused.

  Pascal's Wager, Best Answer I Have Heard

  2. friends

  many of us have heard of pascal's wager.

  basically that you can bet on god and receive an infinite reward, or you can bet against him and live an easier life for 80 years.

  this guy proves that the wager is really misstated.. .

  A petition that really works! Change the law to bring the WTS to its knees!

  i know that most people on here dislike the idea of a petition, but i think i finally realized a petition that could really work.

  in the candice conti case she was allowed to start a civil lawsuit that was way past the statute of limitations.

  because california has changed the their civil statute of limitations in sexual abuse cases.. so how do petitions come in?
