Um, SYN, I'm a big fan of your work, but...
Shouldn't you be a little more alert to the signs of a scam artist at work? ie. vague threats, lofty promises, impossible standards, appeals for money?

Interstellar Lifeboat for Humanity
by SYN inthese guys are trying to build an interstellar "lifeboat" to "save" humanity from singularity.
they also say it might come in handy in case of the worst happening, for instance, "the infinite gray goo incident" is a good example of a catastrophe that would neccessitate the production of an interstellar lifeboat, as the entire earth would be converted into a giant gray blob of pico and femtomachines.. do you think this is feasible within our lifetime?
surely some chance of surviving the infinite gray goo incident is a good thing, and considering humanity's excellent record at being able to contain accidents (chernobyl), it's probably not a bad idea.. but, escaping singularity?

a real reliable German? He's a German so he can't lie?
Gawd, this is the funniest thread I've ever seen.
GB: Hey, Jesus.
JC: Ah, shoot. You again. What?
GB: I've got this talk coming up about donations and why we need more.
JC: So? What does that have to do with me?
GB: Can we have a couple squirts? For our suits?
JC: Ah, shoot, man, I'm getting dizzy! Can't you conserve or something? What are you, washing your cars in the stuff?
GB: Um.
JC: You're washing your cars in the stuff, aren't you. I come down there and spill my blood for all mankind and you use it to wash your Olds. Very unkosher. Very, very unkosher.
GB: Well you let us down in 1914...
JC: Don't YOU try to guilt trip ME!

What do you fear the most about the WT cult?
by Claudia Kittel inwhen i was a jw, i think what i was most afraid of was being hurt.
i did everything to keep myself from getting hurt.
i banged on doors with the best of the pioneers.

America/US government...a lying contradiction.
by pomegranate inthose who already walk submissively will say there is no cause for alarm.
but submissiveness is not our heritage.
the first amendment was designed to allow rebellion to remain as our heritage.

Speaking as the chosen spokesperson of the class of anointed bohemians who are of draftable age, I'd rather not start any civil wars, thank you kindly.
However, pour that energy into health care reform, and I'll work with you.

The People and the Dream
by joelbear ini miss my friends.
i love them.
i have attachments to them.

I too have had the pain of losing the dream. I share that agony with many.
But I think they fed us that dream, hooking onto something that we have built into us, and using it to stroke their own egos. Oh well. Better people have wasted better lives for worse causes than ours.
The Tower's version of future history will happen immediately after the porcine aviators wing their way out of the frozen depths of Hell, so to speak
They'd better not go flying, since I'll be grilling 'em!

To add one point:
Watch, in any order, these rated-R movies that will alter your mind and open the gateways to free self-expression:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Hellraiser
Braveheart / Saving Private Ryan (same night)
Dead Alive (if you can find the unrated version, its better for you)

To my dismay, it is a lot harder to get laid in the world than the WT makes it seem. Not all women are panting, drooling Temptresses fresh from Satan's Brothel.

Governing Body! Worshiped like Kings!
by Alligator Wisdom ini can't get over the fact the the gb of the wt society are treated like kings.
aren't they supposed to be "one of the brethren"?
the wt always accuses others of being guilty of "idol" worship when it comes to people of fame (i.e.

Hm,
Well, of course, undue veneration is out of order, as Peter told Cornelius. But Paul also said that some are worhty of some honor. So, to be fair, I haven't seen any of the excesses of man worship that, for instance, the Catholics give their popes.
Humans do have a tendency to worship what they can see. Its just symptomatic of the organization. As soon as a human starts to "organize" the earthly Christian ministry, they lose faith in Christ's direction and start to apply it to the man-made apparatus.
So the GB, and the other anointed, are the subjects of natural curiosity and excitement and a kind of "rub-off" celebrity. It sounds like your guy just wanted some attention.
I did see the alleged pedophile Ted Jarascz give a public talk once. He either didn't speak English very well, or was suffering from severe jet lag, or something. He wasn't a good speaker for someone who gives so many talks a year [although I bear Paul's words in mind about those who criticized him for being weak in speech.] I don't know, I was younger and couldn't follow his train of thought.

Hey man,
I too have a little sister that I love dearly. If they give you any shit, let's get together, rent a very fast car with no top, buy four double barrelled shotguns, two cases of whiskey, and go on a Texas Turkey Hunt in Brooklyn!
