James, stop sulking. You have your thread I have mine.

Are the desert wastelands of biblical lands due to man or a curse?
by EndofMysteries ini was looking on google earth the other day, take a look at it, the entire world.
notice how all of the countries and lands which were involved in all the biblical events are desert wastelands.
i thought to myself, did they destroy the soil and nothing will grow, well lets see how much rain they get a year.

I have found almost everything linked though, like a family tree, all beliefs and religions, mythology, even ones which seem unrelated, appear to all link together
Any exceptions at all- just curious

The American Southwest is also a large desert. Native American tradition says they chose it that way so they would keep their spiritual knowledge alive- they have to do rituals for the rain.
EOM, you seem to do a lot of magical thinking. I dont mind- I do it to. All it means is you attribute magical (or supernatural whatever) causes to regular phenomena.
Now and then you might like to argue with yourself to find the most logical answer, just for fun.

Cagey:
I am not dealing with your rejection very well.
(trying the guilt angle)
I did nothing wrong! Im out!
What about me!
whos to say Wannaexit isnt doing the best thing for her, and what does that have to do with you.
I COULD NEVER DO THAT MYSELF. Those people whos DNA I inhertied are not worth lying and dying inside. But thats me.

Who (not what) is your guilty pleasure? (Controversial favorites)
by Terry inwe all have somebody we are crazy about that almost everybody can't stand.. if you mention their name your companions give you that "look" (ya know the one, like you just got caught picking your nose!).
i was thinking about this the other day.
i was truly curious if i'm mental or if everybody has a guilty pleasure list like i do.. i'm just going to assume we all do until you set me straight.. if you attach a photo and short explanation about why you like these pariahs it will be more meaningful.. .

Disgusting
by Vegas Girl ini was reading the find whitney heichel page of fb and the moderator has posted info about another missing girl in oregon (non-jw) well, apparantley this missing girl has some sort of a past or something and people are getting on the site (mostly jw's) and making rude remarks about this girl has a bad past and that it's prob her fault.
i can't fathom how they can get on there after the horrible tragedy of whitney and yet because this other missing girl is not jw somehow now they attach fault to her going missing.
this is exactly why i can't deal with jw's.

Eek- hard to imagine what anyone might do in that situation- like if he has a gun to her head- maybe she still has a hope he might let her live- Anyway she was on a mountain. Biting it off would take some ferocity- which a girl that sweet may have trouble mustering even in the life or death situation.

What do you think of drawings like these?
by DeWandelaar ina long time ago the jw's published a book called "humans in search of god" (translation of the dutch version so i am sorry if the title is not totally correct).
i always remembered one sick drawing in it and it always made me wonder how this drawing could be used in one of their books.. .
warning: can be shocking to people who never saw it before!.

What bothers me is that it seems to anatomically incorrect- I am pretty sure you would have to make the incision below the ribcage and then reach up- those ribs are protective of the heart and lungs. Also, the handlers are awkwardly positioned.
Wait- didnt those desert gods demand human sacrifice as well-
