  Out-of-body experiences recreated in a lab

  wonder what paranormal believers will make of this.

  british and swiss researchers have succeeded in deliberately inducing out-of-body sensations.

  once upon a time a female brain cell, by mistake, ended up in a man's head...... she looked around nervously, because it was so empty and quiet..

  ", she cried, but there was no answer...... "is anyone here?

  " still no answer....... now the female brain cell started to feel really scared,.

  Interesting comment by wife of branch committee member:

  i know this couple, and their good jw friend here at work just related it to me.

  she was talking about one of the faithful old "brothers" who had recently passed away.

  "sister husband's-high-up-in-the-organization mentioned that if armageddon doesn't come soon, the great crowd won't be "great" any longer, it'll be little, 'cause the older generation is all dying off.".

  Notes from the Wallkill Printery Dedication - May 16, 2005

  by acsot in

  2. friends

  you will all no doubt want to upchuk your lunch be pleased to find out how jehovah has blessed the brothers and sisters at the expanded, updated printery at wallkill.

  i have several pages of notes from that momentous occasion, but haven't a clue how to get them to post here.

  one of the snippets that will make you want to vomit highlights mentioned how, in reference to one job out-sourced to a "worldly" company for the concrete floors, the foreman of said company told the dubs that "what he learned in his few months at watchtower was comparable to five years of college".

  Dub at work said that the Knowledge book was too difficult for new ones

  by acsot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to understand so that's why the wts published the new book being released at this year's district conventions.. the new book gets "straight to the point".

  according to her "and many others", the knowledge book was too difficult for those just beginning a bible study.

  i said, "you're kidding!

  Darwin Awards

  by acsot in

  2. humour

  hard to believe, but another year has passed.

  once again, it's time for the darwin award nominees.

  the darwins are awarded every year to the persons who died in the most stupid manner, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool.

  Can we help Utopian Reformist?

  by acsot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all the tragedy ur's been through, i was wondering if we could pull together and help him out a bit, sort of like what was done for vicki boer some time ago.

  i am hoping to send him a "christmas gift" of a bit of money, by way of international money order and if others could do so also then maybe he'll have a few pleasant memories for this season.

  his address is on his post where he updates us with what's been happening.. of course, i could be way behind on this and many of you may have already sent him something, but i was just thinking that a group effort would lift his spirits a tiny bit.. thoughts?
