I checked out the JW guy as he's my countryman, and guess what?! He "likes" porn models! LOLLEST. I only hope Bree Olson doesn't get destroyed with you apostates, it would be such a pity for Chijioke if she doesn't make Paradise!

Why Do Some People Still Disagree With Special Relativity?
by DT ini have to admit that i feel poorly equipped to address this subject.
i'm more interested in the feedback of others than in trying to persuade others of my opinions.
i should also point out that although this topic is specifically about special relativity, much of what is said could also apply to general relativity.. special relativity has had a profound effect on both science and modern culture.

Personally, I think a lot of persons do have problems grappling with the "spacetime" coordinates. They have been acclimatised mentally to the Cartesian coordinates with the time component an the independent variables which the space components depend on. They see time and space as different components and not as a fourvector. And the funny thing about most religious (especially Christian) scientists is, you have to believe in the theory of Special Relativity if you do wish to explain how God knows things ahead of time and other stuff like it. Yet they are hard-bent on not understanding it because to me they seem to think that part is the preserve of "God", at least according to one of my fundamentalist lecturers. I always joke that, since people could hardly think even at pace with a snail, how in the world would you expect them to think at the speed of light which is what is expected to understand the SRT?! Heck, a lot of people still grapple with GRT!

Jay's Wit: about guy named Jay who always try to outwit his elder brother named Elder.
The Witlesses: about a JW family who have a poor sense of humor. They do dumb things, and people laugh at them and they'd always end the scene with, "Persecution!(sighs)"
The Time is 19:14: a man always having comical apocalyptic dreams and always waking up at 19:14 am!

Who is easier to indoctrinate, men or women?
by kneehighmiah infrom purely anecdotal evidence, i believe women are more indoctrinated on average.
i can openly disagree with the governing body with men and it results in a discussion however, most women i've talked to have immediately shut me down by ending the conversation.
the only person currently shunning me is a woman.

Once, the branch office once wrote a letter to us to reach out to more men in the field ministry as there were more women than men in the congos and men should be the ones with the privileges. Well, our sisters here in Nigeria did try their best, and there was an explosion in the male intake, only they came as babies! LOL!! Well, my opinion is, in many societies, women are still more repressed and are less educated, thus more gullible. Also, many women have been dealing with cognitive dissonance almost all their lives especially being told that men are natural and scriptural heads when they can see otherwise as leadership qualities is not gender selective. So, coping with CD in religion comes easier for them, they are taught from birth to deny the obvious more than men.

Let the Sun shine in - March Awake
by jws inhas this been covered yet?.
i was looking to download the new nwt from jw.org and stumbled across an awake on creation - march 2014 edition.
and it always interests me to see the latest spins they'll try to make creation sound plausible.. seems now they are implying the sun, moon, and stars were created when god said "let there be light".

This is not the first time they've spun that yarn. When I a kid, I remember my dad at a Family Study telling us that the light became discernible from a human POV on the third day and more on the fourth day when the atmosphere clear up. I think we were discoursing the Creation book then. What I said that stumped my dad was that, "But Dad, there weren't any humans on the third or fourth day, why would they be reporting as eyewitnesses?!" He never was able to answer that one, and he was pretty good with answers back then!

Alien Nation by Scorpions always reminds me of the Governing Body And JWs. I'm thinking maybe it was written by an exJW, in fact!

Attempt to get your mind around this-The Universe is just a hologram
by fulltimestudent inhttp://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/physicists-discover-clearest-evidence-yet-that-the-universe-is-a-hologram-9000748.html.
physicists discover 'clearest evidence yet' that the universe is a hologram.
latest calculations chime with 1997 theory that reality is only perceived as 3d and is actually a 2d projection on the boundary of the universe.

Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders
by jw07 inhave any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?
as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".
ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.

I just got some "privileged info"!
Watch out for MOST important announcement at the Annual Meeting:
"The Governing Body has been so BUSY! So busy slim-fitting the FDS. So BUSY re-editing a new New World Translation (re-revised). So BUSY making truckloads of money from property sales and other forms of racketeering, so BUSY using said monies to built the most luxurious adult home in Warwick (note, we shall rename it Peacestrong) for our retirement. So BUSY defending all the pedophiles and all other sorts of criminals who have had the luck of being Watchtower's henchmen. So BUSY dictating your medical and health options and your bedroom manners and so so BUSY just sticking our long pinochio noses into every place they do not belong to... In short, we have been so BUSY that Jayhover has chosen a new name for us- a name in the likeness of that which Jacob after trying to hump a wild camel and gotten kicked in the groin resorted to having fought a fictitious angel and being called Isreal- yes, henceforth to show how BUSY we have been and will continue to be, we shall no longer be called The Governing Body (a name with Catholic, and hence pagan, origin), but we shall be called by the unique and ingenious name... The Governing BUSYBODY!!!"

Funny enough, as a kid I always felt my dad travelled too often because of all those Bethel volunteer works he was doing, and my mum had to work so hard because she basically had to feed the family, and also provide the finance for the huge budget of the annual district convo drama(s) my dad had to direct at the end of year! Now,
"What regrets might Brianne’s father experience later in life? By putting too much emphasis on material things, how is he affecting his relationship with his daughter? What does his family need from him more than money?" reads to me...
"What regrets might my father experience later in life? By putting too much emphasis on spiritual things, how is he affecting his relationship with his son? What does his family need from him more than appreciation letters from Bethel?" Anyways, the answer to that last question is... MONEY!
Yeah, money may not buy any of those three things they did mention, but absolutely cannot their "spirituality" either! Hypocrites!!
