hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.
i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".
the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.

You have to consider that the average household is 3-5 people. So maybe the best case is an exposure of close to a billion.
But which billion? Its Europe (Eastern & Western) North and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Rich Rim of the Pacific Asian countries.
That's where JW's are already. The Moslem countries, India and China must be doomed.
JW's are the beneficiaries of the mass conversions (often violent conversions) of the Dark Ages.
Some cognitive scientists see our brains as a committee - a group of simpleton agents assembling themselves into factions.
We are not really "one".
Or you can go the Budhist route. There is only "one". We are all UNI-verse.
has this documentary been discussed anywhere in this forum?.
Thanks. I guess it didn't get much treatment the first time.
It makes a convincing case that Al Quaeda is NOT a huge Mafia type organization with tentacles reaching everywhere.
There is one interesting scene where Donald Rumsfeld is being interviewed by Tim Russert. Russert has a big chart showing these deep underground bunkers with elevators, complex ventilation, electronic communication devices all out of a Austin Powers spy movie. All the while Rumsfeld is nodding yes and adding that there are numerous such facilities in Afghanistan. Remember Tora Bora. Nothing. They've looked everywhere and they haven't found anything more than ordinary caves.
Osama didn't call his group Al Quaeda until it became popular in the western press.
It appears terrorists are a threat, obviously the NYC skyline is evidence of that. But they are not this huge network that is capable of completely devestating western civilization.

one of the proofs the witnesses (and others) use as proof of the bible's divinely inspired nature is its supposed candor in exposing israel's and others' flaws.
if it were written by men, the argument goes, they would have hidden their failures, inadequacies, and weaknesses.
so, we see moses taking credit for producing water from the crag; we see all of the israelite kings who "did what was bad in the eyes of yahweh.
The premise is that telling the truth is something impossible for humans to do. The idea that humans tell the truth only 99% of the time still leaves a gaping hole in the candor theory.
This is one of those arguments that are bundled together with other half baked arguments. But a bunch of weak arguments don't make a good argument.
for those of us who still read the bible, and believe it, it should be noted that paul did not write hebrews.
there is a clear statement in the bible that proves this rather easily.... hebrews 2:3 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?
which having at the first been spoken through the lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;.
Are you speaking about the Holy Bible?
my daughter told me about her first hbo routine on 10/14/06.. i didn't see it and had never heard of her before.
my daughter is going to tape the show for me.. she said it was very funny!.
juni - who loves to have fun and laugh!
I've always liked Wanda. Especially on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
i don't know if this was already posted, but i have gotten it a couple of times now from friends who are still active jws.
clearly it is ring the bell time, as you can tell by the notes taken.
enjoy.
I'm not saying the notes are inaccurate. How would I know. I wasn't there. But the simultaneous blanketing of the JW audience with the exact same summary is suspicious.
I'm pretty sure it sure it was an "approved" E-Mail.
JW's feel privileged to receive such a report and are eager to circulate it.

This report is clearly a PR piece sent out by the Watchtower. It simultaneously has shown up everywhere. Who wrote it? Nobody knows.
I've gotten three copies of it from different JW's in different parts of the country.
Why aren't there other reports circulating out there?
This is a very carefully contrived campaign.
i mean, what's to stop this psycho from north korea from sending nukes over here and blowing us all away?

The one time I got afraid was when the Russians placed missiles in Cuba. I was 16. And it turned out I had reason to be afraid. We came close to a nuclear war.
By the way Democrats (the old War Party) were in charge and they confronted Castro and Krushchev.
You have more reason to be afraid of Avian Flu - and people have quit talking about that already.
