  Entertainment: What's everybody reading or into right now?

  by schnell in

  2. entertainment

  i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.

  historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.

  i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

  If you're into historical fiction, Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth is a great read. Set in the 12th century, it sets a fictional family and village into historical events such as the Thomas Becket murder. He also wrote a follow up called World without End, set 100 odd years later.

  How successful are others at getting ex-dubs together?

  by dubstepped in

  2. friends

  for my first shunniversary i reached out to the local ex-dubs that i know.

  i invited 11 total to join me in a little get together at a local restaurant, then back to my house to hang out.

  one friend asked if he could invite others, and i encouraged him, and all, to do so.

  Once you have exhausted the ex dub stories and the usual "do you know bro or sister such and such", you'll realise that you don't actually have that much in common.

  Better to seek out old friends from pre dub years maybe? Or make new ones. At least they will help you forget about the cult.

  Isn't that the goal? To forget all about the cult years?

  "I'm so over just doing what most scientist do"... what? You're actually fed up of scientists trying to find the answer to life's biggest questions? Really?

  So you get lazy and fall into the "god of the gaps" trap.

  Intellectually dishonest and lazy.

  What The Org Teaches: #2 THE GREAT TRIBULATION

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every single bible student/jehovah's witness who has ever lived, has been indoctrinated to believe that a catastrophic great tribulation would very soon engulf the entire earth, causing untold death & destruction.

  this spurious teaching is drummed into every j.w.

  's head and used by them as a major recruitment tool.
