March 2018 Study Watchtower
by Listener inthe first study article is about getting bible studies and children baptized.
there is much more emphasis placed on parents to get their own children baptized rather than focusing on bible students.
they try to impress on others the need for urgency.

I looked for loopholes in our publications
This implies the publications are law. They are not, but the WT leadership wants you to believe they are.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

Dueling Guitars: Steve Vai and Ralph Macchio
by compound complex ingreetings, lovers of both the sacred and the profane!.
i posted on the gilead song thread, where a tune of unimpeachable wholesomeness was wafting through the fetid air of my chamber.
if you can get through the annoying vehicle ad, the famous scene from the film crossroads will turn you off forever to saccharine, gagacious music.. happy listening .

Very cool. Of course Ralph Macchio wasn't really playing but kudos for a pretty impressive mime job.
The parts were actually played by:
Arlen Roth, Ry Cooder, Steve Vai and Bill Kanegiser.
Here are links to articles with details about this famous scene:

KN: That's why I asked if besides research, have you ever actually tried anything to do with spiritism.
Actually, you didn't ask me that. (I just reread your post).
A time or two I played around with spiritism. What a complete waste of time.
Not interested.

Panpsychism - a philosophy with a future
by slimboyfat inat one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.
this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.
what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).

You're funny Sparky!
The phlogistion theory is of course now completely discredited, mostly due to the work of Antoine Lavosier, the father of modern chemistry, in the late 1700s.
It's a very interesting example of how science works. Even as more and more evidence was gathered to disprove the phlogiston theory, many people stubbornly continued to hang on to it rather than admit they had a wrong belief (sound familiar?).
Here is a brief excerpt from a WP article on the subject:
Phlogiston Theory - Challenge and demise: Phlogiston remained the dominant theory until the 1780s when Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier showed that combustion requires a gas that has mass (oxygen) and could be measured by means of weighing closed vessels. ...
Experienced chemists who supported Stahl's phlogiston theory attempted to respond to the challenges suggested by Lavoisier and the newer chemists. In doing so, phlogiston theory became more complicated and assumed too much, contributing to the overall demise of the theory. Many people tried to remodel their theories on phlogiston in order to have the theory work with what Lavoisier was doing in his experiments. Pierre Macquer reworded his theory many times, and even though he is said to have thought the theory of phlogiston was doomed, he stood by phlogiston and tried to make the theory work. [Emphasis added]

Ruby, because you decided to post a public reply to a private message, I will respond to your post in kind.
I do NOT object to your posting. I object to your personal comments directed to/at me.
Agree or disagree with a view. I don't care. Attacking beliefs or ideas you feel are incorrect is fine, but it is both poor form and against forum guidelines to engage in personal attacks.
As I have said to you privately on repeated occasions, and because you posted the above message on this thread, I will say to you again here:
"I have repeatedly tried to engage you in meaningful dialogue and discussion ... you repeatedly ... respond with condescending, patronizing language. Please stop. Just ignore my posts."
Please, in the future, do not direct any more posts to me on this or any other thread. Just don't.
