since coming out of the witnesses, i have gone through a transformation in thought and in mind.
i started with the usual: i thought that jesus was god.
then i investigated more about the bible and thought that the bible was not true, given the many contradictions, failed prophecies, etc.. then i investigated evolution and read lots and now i accept evolution and natural selection as things that are true.. now, i need to make my dad rethink everything.
Also the totally useless body organ that is called the appendix did have a purpose at one time.
I read a recent study that scientists think that the appendix is meant as a digestive bacterial culture reboot system for when you get sick with something like dysentery and the bowels purge.
Edit: apparently, it's just a theory that it's a reboot system.
WebMD: "One theory is that the appendix acts as a storehouse for good bacteria, “rebooting” the digestive system after diarrheal illnesses."

i guess this article will be appreciated within the jw community, being on the positive side when discussing blood transfusion.
it is the first of three articles to be published in that prestigious magazine.. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-jehovahs-witnesses-are-changing-medicine.
Look at this ridiculous quote:
"Everything about us is carried in our blood," said Ortiz. "Our personality, our sickness, all the good things about us. It's who we are. It's our soul."
WTF? Do they even hear themselves? Our personality?
so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

re: discount on roku devices.

They do get kickbacks. It works something like this: A hotel books a certain number of rooms, say 50, and they give 2 comp rooms to the rooming department.
The comp rooms are first used for visiting bethel speakers and traveling overseers. But, there are usually so many comp rooms to go around, that they end up getting used by the Rank & File that are in the know.
In order to get a comp room as a Rank & File, you have to agree to a "suggested" donation for the hotel rate.
So, if you get the comp room, you are "suggested" to donate, say, $80/night (if that was the hotel's rate).

I really REALLY like my Roku. I've been a Roku customer since the first version.
The kids could use a Roku 3 in their room.

Here's why I'm going to use the code, regardless of whether 5% goes to Watchtower:
I need a new Roku, and I sure as hell could use the 20% discount.

You know, setting up a site eerily similar to JW-dot-org that has this sort of thing might be an idea (maybe have its server in another country to avoid legal)...
I've thought about designing a PirateBox landing page to look just like JW-dot-org, but have TTATT articles instead of the actual website.
It's pretty devious to do that.
There are pros and cons.
wifibandit knows what I'm talking about.
