How would YOU like to die - At home with your family, or in Hospital with Strangers
by fulltimestudent ina big decision no one wants to make, but would you have a preference?.
and, i guess it may depend on what kind of relationship you have with your family.. .

Here's another good article on the difference of additive vs. subtractive colors:
DID YOU KNOW...
Approximately seven million different colors can be perceived by the human eye? -

Gobble, gooble!
I just got a text from a friend, a former elder and JWN member, that woke up to the TTATT and successfully got his entire family out. It's a real success story.
Today he, his wife and kids are celebrating Their First Thanksgiving with family!
Thought you guys might like to know.

If you look under the religious section on roku, every decent sized religion has a channel.
This religion is becoming more and more mainstream by the day!
Un-fucking-believable.
It's embarrassing to think that I actually used to believe this was "the one true religion"!

At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?
by minimus ini certainly wouldn't.
and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.
if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

No.
Why do you say you would "respectfully decline"? What is there to respect about the JW "judicial process"?

Sister trying to convince me and herself
by NoMoreFear4Tracy inlong story short i was raised in this cult (but was never baptized) my mother is die hard jdub, i didnt take this "faith" seriously until i was 26, but i had always gone to meeting, was enrolled in the theocratic school and was mediocre in service.
at 26 i made the conscious decision to make this religion my own.
i red the bible cover to cover and used cross reference from the watchtower and other religious sites,with the end goal to get baptized.

Cherry picked "proofs" with hand-selected answers directed to carefully coached conclusions.
That being said, the first 9 are demonstrably false. #10 maybe too, but I'm not sure.
Many other religions could easily make a similar list of "No other religion ...."
All it proves is this, let's review: It's a cult!

OC: Very few qualified advisors in the field that we are discussing would accept the way that I am cited in your post based upon the legal terms of copyright
I disagree.
I have written dozens of graduate level papers vetted by a half-dozen different PhD level professors. My cites in reference to your previous comment would totally be acceptable because that is what you provided when you wrote it. It is all there is from the available information and it is also sufficient for anyone that wants to verify it.
I admit, I do not know what the academic requirements are for an Art History major; my field is education and I'm totally up on my APA.
That being said, I cannot "cite" what is not available. If you want me to include your credentials in my citations, then you will need to put them in your post. Alternatively, if the statements of yours which I have quoted are indeed from some other published source, then you were remiss in failing to provide that information.
Personally, I would never cite an anonymous quote from an online blog in any kind of academic paper, but that really wasn't the point and you know it.
Let's be honest, you're just being snarky. This is most decidedly NOT an academic forum.
But we digress ...

DD: Alright, I'm crazy and see a goat where there isn't one.
You may be crazy, I don't know. But seeing things that aren't there is in fact a very human thing. It is not necessarily an indicator of mental illness. It's just being human.
DD: Are you saying that hidden images do not exist in advertising?
To whom are you intending this question. You didn't specify.
I certainly never said that, nor did I imply it, not even subliminally.
DD: Do you really believe those types of pictures do not exist? What kind of proof do you want?
Personally, I do believe adverstisers and other unscrupulous people use and have used subliminal messages. It would actually be surprising for them to NOT take advantage of what is known about human psychology in order to manipulate people, particularly for a profit motive.
But the fact that others have done this, or even that the WTBTS has done this, in the past, does not prove that the goathead you see in this picture was placed their intentionally.
The very notion of "subliminal" is tricky. If it's too obvious, then in fails; if it's too subtle, then the effect is lost. Either way, it would have to be intentionally placed. You can't know that, so by definition your OP is mere conjecture.
I have to agree with Apognophos on this one. The fact that many of us did not see what you did, and then when you said you saw a "goat," yet others saw even that differently, tends to suggest that this is not in fact an example of a deliberately placed subliminal message.
I think a very important lesson that all of us that were "captives of the concept" of JW indoctrination have to learn is this: Differentiate between what we can know and what we think we know. Also, learn to distinguish between what a thing is and what we think it means.

In a response to Apognophos, JWN Poster, OrphanCrow, wrote, "If you, or anyone else who reads the posts that I contributed to on this thread, and feels [sic] so inclined to quote me, please pm me for permission and for the proper reference information required for academic citations. (Crow, 2014, p. 5) .
This is not entirely true. Under well established "Fair Use" guidelines in US copyright law, one does not ordinarily need permission to quote as long as their quote is properly quoted and cited (Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D.) International copyright laws are similar in the application of this legal principal.
