Of course, because, especially with The Internet and our manifestation of the Ansible, it is SUCH AN ORDEAL to find a spelling, like knee-walking on broken glass.

Bad_Wolf suggested, "With that said, I think all cultures/races, except ones that oppress and goal of world domination, should be preserved. World would be boring if everything was the same."
I do not agree. Cultures and races are a part of human evolution, and evolution teaches us that that are less useful will yield to those that are more useful. No one benefits from the cultural equivalent of a sixth toe.

Joe134cd, I urge you to continue experimenting with various English spellings for the Muslim house of worship. It is inevitable that given eternity, you will stumble on the correct English spelling. The question then becomes, "How many angels will herald your discovery? How will you know you've found it?"
Could I send you a paperback dictionary for your birthday? Please?

I'm thinkinging that >>I<< must be responsible.
The 28-yeat-old Australian man charged with murder in connection with terrorist shootings at two New Zealand mosqueswas a frequent traveler who spent time in Pakistan, Turkey and Bulgaria, among other countries in recent years.
To residents of his former hometown, the murderer seemed a "relatively normal" person.
He had no criminal history in New Zealand or Australia and had NOT drawn the attention of the intelligence community for extremist views.
He used to work at the Big River Squash & Fitness Centre in the northern New South Wales town of Grafton.
OK, so there's your first "Red Flag" he worked at a Fitness Center and may have known how to play Squash.
Fitness Centers are generally not recognized as the places that the intelligensia congregate at, and everyone knows that REAL men can't even spell squash,, let alone play yhe game.
So yeah, I'm thinkinging that >>I<< must be responsible for the actions of this pathetic waste of skin because I am proud of not having any Wakandan heritage.
Boo Hoo, I wish I were a wog!

Climate Change - True Believer or Skeptic?
by Simon inclimate change ... who doesn't believe it?
crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.
it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.

I believe the climate can change because paleontology shows us it has.
I do not believe that human activity can cause a climate change because Al Gore says it can.
Remember that Al and Tipper wanted to censor your rock n' roll records back in the day -- or have you already forgiven them since they invented the internet?

Short-sighted WT ?
by Tech49 init has always struck me that wt is so very short-sighted in many things.
often, they are very re-active, and not so much pro-active in their reasoning and the way they plan for the future.. just thinking today, and have kicked this one around for a while now.. is the watchtower organization truly sustainable?
is a new monetary structure on the horizon?

The WTB&TS can only see as far as the inside of their eyelids because that is how close Armageddon is.
They rely heavily on the wisdom of a sock-puppet so as to not be leaning on their own understanding. They haven't figured out that THEY are the voice of the sock-puppet.

Do You Take Any Special Vitamins or Meds That You Would Recommend?
by minimus inas we get older , we tend to feel the aches and pains or some tiredness like never before.. i have some friends who are in excellent condition and i’ve asked what their secret was.. some swear by cbd oil as a cure all for aches and localized pain.
greek yogurt is a natural food that can attack gut fat as does taking probiotics.
have you found anything that makes you more energized?

1. B vitamins
2. Vitamin C (because I have more confidence in Linus Pauling than I have in most of today's Pharmaco-dealers) but I don't take mega doses because I have even more confidence in myself.
3. Vitamin D
4. Fish or Krill (micro-shrimp) oil
5. Pizza, p. r. n.

Ending Bible Study
by Maria Nieves ini have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.
initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.
however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

Out4Good opined, "In fact, they don't have any authority over you if you do. They only have the authority over you that YOU give them. Being dipped in a batch of tap water doesn't change that."
That is true in a theological sense, of course, because contracts with imaginary beings are non-binding, (I am an atheist) but over time the Watchtower Baptism has become an induction ceremony into a human private club.
Consider:
In order to QUALIFY to be baptised, it was required that Watchtower acolytes answer 80 questions in front of an examination board of three elders. This was increased to 124 questions in 1983 and then reduced to 104 questions in 2005.
The Baptism Questions
Under Pastor C. T. Russell, baptism candidates consecrated themselves to the Lord only, and it was specifically noted that baptism was not to any particular sect.
"The questions usually put by Brother Russell when receiving candidates for water immersion took the form of:
(1) Have you repented of sin with such restitution as you are able, and are you trusting in the merit of Christ's sacrifice for the forgiveness of your sins and the basis of your justification?
(2) Have you made a full consecration of yourself with all the powers that you possess--talent, money, time, influence--all to the Lord, to be used faithfully in His service, even unto death?
After public admission of these confessions, we acknowledge you as a member of the Household of Faith, and give to you as such the right hand of fellowship, not in the name of any sect or party or creed, but in the name of the Redeemer, our glorified Lord, and His faithful followers." -- What Pastor Russell Said pp.35-36
Later, two questions developed containing reference to the God the Father, Jesus the son, and the holy spirit, and The Watchtower continued to clarify that baptism is not in the name of any organization:
"A Christian, therefore, cannot be baptized in the name of the one actually doing the immersing or in the name of any man, nor in the name of any organization, but in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit." -- Watchtower 1955 Jul 1 p.411
In 1966 emphasis of baptism shifted from Jesus to Jehovah:
"We do not dedicate ourselves to a religion, nor to a man, nor to an organization. No, we dedicate ourselves to the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe, our Creator, Jehovah God himself. This makes dedication a very personal relationship between us and Jehovah." -- Watchtower 1966 Oct 1 pp.603-604
In 1985 however, a very significant change was introduced:
"At the close of the convention baptism talk, the baptism candidates will be in position to answer with depth of understanding and heartfelt appreciation two simple questions that serve to confirm that they recognize the implications of following Christ's example.
The first question is:
On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
The second is:
Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism." -- Watchtower 1985 Jun 1 p.30
