at the very moment i signed oni saw the quote related to demonic experiences next to the $600 question about the stones.. given my desire to increase efficiency i thought it might be good to combine the topics.. i am very dissapointed that i have never had a demonic experience.
the fact that i don't believe in demons may have impacted my lack of experience.
however, i would never spend $600 to seen any group or person - even if they were naked.. so, how about you?.
Satan's already got us, so he sends his minions to persecute li'l old ladies who stand on the corner holding magazines in the air.
But think about THIS; have you ever heard of ANY member of the GB having a demonic experience?
The reason why is given above.
the stock market has had a big run-up over the last few years.
i believe this is in large part because the federal reserve and treasury dept.
have been pumping it up with fake money--you may disagree.
I think you may be picking the wrong time to get into stocks. The correct time to buy is when everyone is selling. We are approaching a top and the market will "correct" (fall) before the DJIA hits 17,000.
It is always good to learn the rules of any game before you play it.

the university of new mexico cannot explain this one.
but here is a short youtube video that will blow your mind.
I'm with AnnOMaly; it's probably a Mormon hoax. Anyone unfamiliar with this subject (Mormon hoaxes) should get a copy of the video "The Lost Book of Abraham."

i read some reviews, some of them said it stopped working after it has been washed.
i do not know if the reviews are planted negatively.
I knew a fellow who worked in IT. Long before "washable" keyboards came to the market, he wondered if a keyboard could survive a ride in a dishwasher.
It did!
The key factors were:
The keyboard he used was a Sun Microsystems type 5 ketboard, which was one of the first to use the "blister" style switches on the keyboard.

I'm an advocate of "intentional apostacy" which means I intentionally seek ways to break Watchtower rules that I believe are based on "dub-thunk" rather than REASON.
Study chess and the martial atrs, eat a blood sausage, learn to sing your national anthem (with feeling!), collect devices of divination (you get BONUS POINTS if you buy them at a garage sale) decorate your home with Xmas lights and statues of Kwan-Yin and Cthulhu, tour various churches, join the YMCA, donate blood and THANK A SOLDIER FOR HIS (or HER) SERVICE.
It's all good, and in the day of thy doing it, thou shalt not die.
new july 2013 awake says this on page 3:.
"there is a 14 percent greater probability that a person over 60 years of age will die on his birthday rather than on other days.".
wow, they have now proven that birthdays are pagan and not fit for christians!.
I haven't met a man yet who can handle his weight in birthdays.
So Cedars mighty chariot-like organization is mounting a campaign for righteousness one finger at a time?
Once these guys get wheels the might be UNSTOPPABLE!
really the whole thing is ludicrious but it is hilarious and sad at the same time to see grown people arguing about weather there will be cars, planes, eat meat, what about fish, etc in a place as imaginary as oz, yet to them it is reality.. the teaching of a paradise earth was so illogical it really was the first thing that started me on the path to waking up.
just the thought that someone could greet their beloved spouse who had died only to come to the realization that they could never be together again struck me as so cruel, i didnt want to live there even if it was all true.. i have heard jws say they think we might be able to fly, read minds since we will be able to use 100% and some seem to think life would be an endless vacation, with modern conveniences with no thought to all the processes and work that goes into something simple like a pencil.
i love the article jwfacts has on the flaws of any theory or teaching of paradise earth.. what are some things you have heard discussed/argued in car groups, gatherings etc when you were in?.
To me, the craziest idea was that anyone was really going to live there.

WOW, what a load of baloney!
The device shown had a diameter of about 4 inches. For the sake of argument, let's pretend that that 4 inches are ALL solar cell. The area of a 4 inch circle is 12.5664 sq ins., which is 8.75% of one square foot.
The estimated maximum energy delivered to the surface of the earth by the sun is 600 watts per square meter. One square meter equals 10.764 square feet, so one square foot would receive 55.741 watts, and therefore this device would receive a maximum of 4.87 watts of energy per day. The best commercially available photovoltaic panels can achieve an effiiency of 21%. So under THE BEST conditions with THE BEST materials, this little window sticker could output 1.0227 watts per day.
Such a device would be nearly useless and is probably a scam aimed at the innumerate.
