  John Oliver's show is my favorite right now. Ok, Game of Thrones is, but his show is a real close second.

  Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

  2. beliefs

  the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

  whatever begins to exist had a cause.

  therefore the universe had a cause.

  Yo Perry,

  I don't know where the singularity came from, I don't know what caused it to expand. It would be awesome to find out. You got anything better than magic? Obviously not.

  Evolution is a Fact #36 - Mass Extinctions

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  250 million years ago a plume of molten basalt gushed up from the earth's core.

  it erupted in an area now known as the siberian traps - back then it was part of the supercontinent pangaea.

  a curtain of lava a mile high and hundreds of miles long lit up the sky.

  I was so hoping to see a decent counterpoint to ANYTHING in Cofty's OP here. Nada.

  Hey Cofty, I know the last mass extinction shows to be caused by an asteroid off the Yucatan peninsula. It would be nice to see the causes listed in the BBC summary.

  Article Re/Recruiting Pool for the MLM Industries

  by LV101 in

  my lds, long-time, friend sent me article at www.pinktruth.com -- adult children of dysfunctional families: the perfect recruiting pool for the mlm industries.

  it's a good read how people are automatic victims to mary kay cosmetics -- makes perfect sense.

  makes more sense they're easy prey to cults thus the success of watchtower and mormonism.

  Yep CyberJesus, there is a such thing as bad businesses.

  MLMs, if you support them, you still have a lot to learn and have more waking up to do in life.

  Evolution: The Deal Breaker

  by Hadriel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

  i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

  there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

  cofty -

  It's more concrete than that.

  It's like the murderer is caught murdering by the police, it's on HD video, and confesses, but his defense lawyer says "since there is no evidence for how he arrived at the murder scene, all the evidence and his confession about the murdering is irrelevant".

  Socialism

  by Perry in

  1. social
  2. current

  socialists think that money will solve all man's problems.

  everything is obsessively related to money in the socialist ideology.. they have an almost supernatural ability to blame others with more money.

  god calls this greed and envy.

  Let me illustrate it this way: "There's two scoops of raisins in every box of Kellogg's raisin bran."

  The Governing Body need the "generation of 1914" to still be alive. So ... they put their heads together and by means of having an old fart Fred Franz's life overlap with some young wines sippers, booyah, it's still ALIVE!

  The hybrid generation of 1914, using Franz as the basis for it, makes that generation 122 years old now.

  Taking care of old SFSs is monumentally expensive. They boys at the top are seeing that now with every financial report they see.

  I'm sure the medical bills and maintenance of all the aged Bethelites, COs, DOs, missionaries, and special pioneers are huge, huge, huge.

  Ferris Bueller, and life after the JWS

  by talesin in

  2. relationships

  ferris bueller's day off was an huge flick when i was young, and it's a many-layered story.

  i was watching this vid, and realized that one reason i love this movie, is that it could be one metaphor for my life.

  i took the lead, did it my way, and have had one helluva lot of fun on the journey.
