  The scientific method; published, peer reviewed, and repeatable

  by jgnat in

  that's my definition of reliable, and i am sticking to it, lol.. back in january, scientists started making secret confessions on twitter using the hashtag #overlyhonestmethods.

  and now some kind soul (who probably should have been doing their research instead of playing around on the internet) combined a few of these tweets with lab photos for the rest of us to enjoy.... http://twentytwowords.com/2013/06/27/scientists-explain-their-processes-with-a-little-too-much-honesty-17-pictures/.

  THE LOGOS for Hipsters

  think of the ancient world as classical music.. .

  think of greek philosophy as rock n' roll.. .

  there is still classical music, but, rock and roll overtook and dominanted popular tastes and changed the marketplace.. .

  Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower

  yet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.

  bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.

  this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.

  On being constantly scrutinized by the invisble world of gods and demons

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a religious person carries with them a concern (reasonably should be concerned) that non-believers do not share.. for the religious believer there is a very real dimension of beings who are actively invasive in human affairs.. these beings are angels, demons, jinns, gods, spirits, ghosts---you name it--scrutinizing our every move, reading our minds (some say) and.

  greatly aroused by women in a sexual way!.

  indeed, the scriptures do not blush to inform us that angels lusted after women in times past and impregnated them successfully!.

  Is the Vatican able to move at the speed of sound?

  by Sol Reform in

  pretty close to it!.

  the vatican approved cardinal timothy dolan's request in five weeks.. .

  meanwhile the vatican slowly took years to allow dioceses to defrock embarrassing priests.. .

  while im not suprised, i doubt for one second that anyone would believe that the vatican is too broke for lawsuit money. id be like, "give me that big fountain in vatican square and the jesus walking stick that the pope carries. and a pair o' them red shoes for da boys."

  A new lesson from Caleb's mom...

  by cedars in

  ...totally freak out and drop something if your child fails to say "please.".

  http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/please-thank-you/.

  the woman is clearly a nervous wreck, and very easily offended.. if this is her reaction to caleb forgetting his manners, i shudder to think how she will cope if she ever finds him doing drugs.. .

  since some time i post here on this forum... i am always willing to help people or to express my opinion if it helps someone.... i have already posted something about myself but i haven't told much about my history.. i am married with a nice wife and i have three kids (two of my own and a stephdaughter).

  since a year i do not go to meetings and i unofficially stopped with the "truth".

  i had a meeting with some elders expressing my concerns with the teachings and with the slave.

  what if a television press conferance was being held and the man in charge said that god had given them the truth and the way to everlasting live,and that they have millions of members,he would go on totell explain their core doctrines,which would be exactly the same as jehovahs witness'es.but they have named themselves jehovahs proclaimers.what would be the wt response,would they denounce a religion with the same beliefs as them self?.

  "if" is the middle word in life. if i had married her or if i would have just stayed home that day. i have found solace in looking foreward and not backwards.

  but also, what "if" you can be a catalyst of change?
