  recently ive posted on fb a meme where a two pairs of hands held open a bible and the quram side by side.

  then i wrote on it:.

  (faith + fundamentalism) x (hate + propaganda) = legitimation of intolerance and violence.

  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  Book Review: The Hunt for Vulcan: . . . And How Albert Einstein Destroyed a Planet, Discovered Relativity, and Deciphered the Universe

  i recently read this book and found it to be excellent.

  it's the story of how we never stop knowing, how science works (even when it doesn't), how gracefully math can describe the world we live in and more.

  the story begins with how sir isaac newton, author of pricipia mathematica and holder of the lucasian chair at cambridge, developed math to describe the gravity and the motion of the planets with no need god holding them in place.

  Of course God doesn't need to hold them in place. All he has to do is will it to be so. Silly, Viv. Don't you know?

  Humans are not wired to want the truth

  that's what i suspect.. perhaps some of us retrained our brains to not surrender to a natural urge to believe the simplest, most drama-laden spins on facts.. examples (at least i think this is the truth!):.

  the clock.

  the son of muslim activists makes a device that, on purpose, looks like a bomb.

  people have varied and strong feelings about politics and wars, but you can't deny the courage a sacrifice of our veterans.

  too often they do not get the honor they deserve.

  in this country once they come home their sacrifice and heroism is too quickly forgotten.

  I also did not know that pointing out a bit of hypocrisy made me an argumentative prick.

  I don't think you need to do much of anything to make you a prick. Just breathe.

  Thank you, Simon. It was really hard for me to hold back and not break the forum rules when I saw what he posted.

  What did you say that caused this guy to go ballistic?

  I have no idea. Maybe it was my videos making fun of Lett. Maybe the video showing the famous 1969 Awake article about not ever fulfilling a career in this system was too much CD for him to handle.

  Who knows.

  Watchtower-Free: are you Christian Sparlock on there? If so, I just replied to your message.

  Tenacious: thanks for subscribing! Wifibandit and I are working on something big. Working on it in our spare time, so production may take a couple of months.

  There was this one Uber Pioneer sister that I couldn't stand and after repeatedly being counseled by the elders for her long, 2 minute+ comments, she kept on pulling that sh!t.

  So, one day, while running the sound mixer, I decided to cut the sound on her comments after 30 seconds. I pretended to scramble around, trying to figure out what went wrong with the sound...scratched my head and shrug my shoulders. Then, the next comment she gave, she was going long again, and I did the same thing.

  My dad talked to me afterwards, while stifling a laugh.

  Dude, if you haven't seen Restrepo, you owe it to yourself. Probably the best and grittiest war documentary from the soldier's point of view I've ever seen.
