3 European Climbers and sherpa's have fist-i-cuffs high up on the mountain at Camp 3.
lol norty boys.
Camp 3 is way above 25,000 feet, well into the "Death Zone" where the body begins to die from oxygen shortage, which happens even when one uses bottled oxygen. Chances are the climbers became hypoxic, which causes personality change, poor judgment, and high-altitude sickness. If the climbers were sent back down, it was to save their lives.
Everest is not a walk in the park, even though it's not a "technically" difficult mountain to climb (you don't need a lot of rock-climbing experience). But the high altitude can be, and often is, deadly.
Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" relates just how wrong things can go high up on Everest, where even experienced mountaineers can and do die very easily.
Anyone read the book
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson
A great book.
Coincidentally, Jon Krakauer also wrote a book about Greg Mortenson, called "Three Cups of Deceit." Good read.

The Filthy Critic's review of "The Exorcist" (one of the funniest movie reviews I ever read):
http://www.filthycritic.com/index.php/old-reviews/horror/item/159-the-exorcist
Over the years, I've watched the movie maybe four times -- it loses its scare the second time. But still an interesting story.
Demons? Believe the movie? I've got some real estate in the Everglades for sale. A real bargain.

new july 2013 awake says this on page 3:.

"there is a 14 percent greater probability that a person over 60 years of age will die on his birthday rather than on other days.".

wow, they have now proven that birthdays are pagan and not fit for christians!.

I wonder what the percentage is of dubs who die at the Memorial.
It's gotta be pretty high, considering all the great food, celebration, and music that accompany that joyous holiday.
Or maybe they just die of boredom.

Is It Wrong to Change Your Religion?

no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.

(from the article, is it wrong to change your religion?

july 2009 awake!, page 28) .

Perhaps the WTS should consider the idea that it's wrong for religion to change.

has anybody here experienced a bonafide, real, true incident in whicy 'demons' actually interacted with you or did something 'supernatural' that left you convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that satan and his demons exist??.

Yesterday, a small red being with horns, a bifurcated tongue, and a tail came to visit me. It berated me for leaving the WTS. From what it said, it seems that demons like having those who believe in them in one easy-to-identify group. It saves the demons traveling expenses and wasted time to find those that are amusing enough to scare silly.
I thanked the demon for visiting, although I had to refuse its suggestion that I go back to the dubs.
Then we had coffee and doughnuts.

"So statistically true but I reckon driving your car is much more dangerous than celebrating your birthday"
The WTS should outlaw cars with the threat of disfellowshipping if dubs disobey. Cars are not found in the Bible -- that makes them evil.
Dubs should use only chariots and horses to go anywhere.
WTS, pay attention! What an attention-grabber chariots and horses would be! Dubs would be in the news the world over. What a great way to call attention to the Truth! Another gem of an idea from JWN. You're welcome.
Re: birthdays. I think it's the sugar and rich, cholesterol-laden icing on the cake that nudges birthday celebrators into that just-waiting-to-happen heart attack. Bad cake! Bad bad cake!

Did the Romans use crosses or stakes??
by Monsieur in

the cross is so prevalent, i would be inclined to believe that this is for a reason.

can anybody provide references for either one?

What difference does it make? Either one will do a nice job of killing.

me whom they have pierced .

blood flowed from our saviors' side when he was pierced:.

"but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out...for these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled...and again another scripture says, 'they shall look on him whom they pierced.

Which Bible translation are you using, Perry? And what is the context of the Zechariah verses?

If it weren't for the dismal unifying experience of having been a dub, how many of us here would even talk to each other?

Saw that film a long time ago. Don't remember much about the plot, but I do remember that scene!
