  your presence never mattered ,--- unless you were a heavy contributor , but then, with billions in real estate equity? does even that matter?

  Was Adam "born" Circumsized ?

  by RubaDub in

  2. beliefs

  i guess we have to assume that jesus was circumcised on the 8th day but what about adam?

  he was "perfect", so did he have the weenie cut or not?.

  i would like to bring this question up at a "get-together".. rub a dub .

  It was just a question of time. Adam was in cahoots with the talking snake, and as we know, snakes shed their skin too.

  Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.

  i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.

  i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.

  Only the "Phil" here, : Equality between the distinct male and female interest and power will always require an interesting balancing. It would be in the mother's interest to have children from selective fathers, that give her offspring the brains of an Einstein and the athletic acumen of a Jesse Owens. A patriarch would be more interested to expand his energies exclusively for his line of genes instead. That explains perhaps Mutti Merkel's desire to expand her family, whether the males in her country like it or not.

  stan livedeath: "So..the creator got it wrong with the foreskin then? No he could not (playing along) but due to the effect of the talking snake, imperfection set in, and the males of the Abrahamic branch developed Phimosis , balanitis and Paraphimosis. for the uninitiated, their penis developed larger than their foreskin.; preventing washing, smells and complaints by the dainty ladies, and the impression by the men, that their social partners always remained virgins, (it always felt too tight!). to forestall all this, the ~2000 BC elders decreed preventative measures, remove the potentially tightened penis noose by using the developing knife, scissor technology. and bsw: pleasure will not be lost with the most sensitive parts removed!. heard of the amputees complaining about pain in their extremities? so:

  Size matters, Penis too big, foreskin too small,? remove the small, not all.

  He probably did not need a foreskin to prevent sunburn ( perfect sticking out of the shadow) with the water canopy absorbing all the ultraviolet spectrum. Eve probably appreciate the "events"with less sensitivity resulting in delaying, prolonging the climax though. The snake was right: she discovered good.

  The 144000 are sealed, not anointed. Rev 7. out of the 12 tribes, they are not the totality of the tribes.

  romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".

  matt.

  4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

  For at least one Concentration Camp survivor, That was a live and death question, not just theoretical theology. Of course, wt had simplified, or complicated that problem by declaring the "superior authorities" to be the Big J and the smaller Jesus. Creator and created in one piece. making the worldly government non-entities, a mindset that the likes of Himmler would not ignore.

  Is a piano inevitable?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. social
  2. current

  i was at a concert last night and the presence and stature of the piano struck me.

  and i thought: if the piano wasn't invented when it was, would it have been invented by someone else instead?

  or if there was a world the same as our, except with a different history, would it have pianos now too or would it be modern world, similar in many respects, only without pianos?

  Perhaps the intent of the OP was to show the similarity between instrument makers tinkering with different sound generating techniques, and then public acceptance, approval and most important funding having the enterprise flourish, and the process of mutation first, discovering niche later (or variety thereof) evolution scenario. the gist is: --nothing happens in this world without a creative impetus.

  BSW there is a big difference to have music generated by a piece of cardboard (a speaker) and the sound of a real Grand.
