Cofty: The ethics of the OT are no better than ISIS.
I'd put it this way: the ethics of ISIS is based on the Old Testament and the alleged dictates of the God of the Bible.
im sure to use this the next time i accidentally get sucked into an argument with someone.
im not ever understanding the idea behind any christian religion picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow, then have the nerve to claim they are right, when clearly this is obviously done.
here is a site that shows not only how bloodthirsty and evil the god of the hebrew bible was, but how more ridiculous it is for jws to follow one twisted 'commandment' about eating blood, not only reading it wrong, but then not to do all the other commandments, willingly , do they think they are ancient israelites ?

my spies tell me that they are getting shown videos very regularly at the 2 day convention(tm).. i figured it may be because the wbt$ wants mass indoctrination using their tried and tested propaganda techniques.. the average elder won't be aware that the wbt$ uses these thought reform techniques so will be incapable of using them himself.
also, the elder might not put the money grabbing, 1984 ministry of truth spin on things and actually say something good instead.
we know the wbt$ don't like 'good'!
JWD: They were not any truer in 1984.
I believe Punk was making a reference to George Orwell's seminal novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Newspeak concept of using propaganda to control the masses.

personally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.
millie: That is part of what caused such a split among our family. I would simply not turn my back on this one relative and my other siblings were more than willing to do so.
Thanks for being an example of doing the right thing!
i think he would definitely diagnose him with a extremely violent form of narcissism, lugging around a huge shadow of denial, which makes him petty and homophobic, and those 100,000 animal sacrifice orgies he so very much enjoys are a sign of a serious greedy glutton.
no doubt this voracious hunger for burnt flesh of lowly animals stems from the energy need after he experiences a uncontrollable bursts of anger creating a vicious cycle he can not break free of so that the only thing that can save him and turn him less violent is a human sacrifice from his heavenly son incarnate to quell his terrible anger.. maybe some form of oedipus complex too?.

This is a great reasoning point, but one doesn't have to be highly trained to do this kind of assessment. Indeed, what would the average person think of any individual that acted exactly like Jehovah?
every second our watch ticks, thats frequency of our current time.
the frequency will hit our reality every 1 second.. same method for rainbow frequency.. this is where i need your scientists.
need confirmation of change on fact of time.. and this... is truth of jehovah.... under sugar water, blue light will appear on left side.. under salt water, red light will appear on right side.. this concept is same for our heart.

Now that was a timely remark!

JK: Ya light is frequency as well
Light is not frequency any more than your foot is centimeters.
JK: i dont understand purpose of showing me this. ??
I know. This is why I said, "You might want to read up on the electromagnetic spectrum."
You obviously have not done this.
JK: Gamma ray would be example?
No. Gamma rays are not light. Although they are high frequency electromagnetic waves (EM), they are not light. They are gamma rays. Light is a very narrow part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Radiowaves are low frequency EM.
i really enjoy hearing about other people's lives.
feeling a little lonely this evening so please tell me if you have plans for the summer months.
i may go to some outdoor theatre with my daughter who's home from uni; with a picnic and a bottle of wine.
Xanthippe: Oubliette I hope the conference was interesting. Enjoy your time with relatives at the end of July.
Thanks, it's been really interesting and very informative. Today was Day 5 of 10. I've got one more week to go.
We are learning some really mind-opening ways to teach the fundamental concepts of chemistry in a way that make these obscure, abstract concepts more readily accessible to high school students. This is done by conducting a well thought out, progressive series of experiments carefully designed to help the average high schooler construct in their own minds a clear, understandable model of the fundamental particles of matter which comprise all things.
In one short week we've learned how to teach students to design and conduct laboratory experiments from which they can infer the size of particle, how density is discerned and measured in the various states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. We have spent considerable time developing this model so that students will understand all of the relationships between volume, pressure, temperature and the amount of a substance in a gas. Today we concluded by measuring two different substances as they underwent changes of phase. One was water changing from solid (ice) to liquid water to gaseous water vapor. The other was lauric acid changing from a liquid to a solid. By measuring with temperatures probes and charting it over time we could infer the energy transfer involved in both temperature changes and phase changes.
The really amazing thing is that by teaching these concepts this way students understand both WHAT is happening and HOW this applies in the real world. All the formulas are merely descriptions of how reality works.
It's pretty amazing actually!
I'll keep you posted about our East Coast trip!

i tried posting a picture and link from woodstock harley davidson but it is not working the way i would like.
it is a picture of about 7or 8 men and women standing next to harleys ready to ride.
the caption reads jw.org crew ready to ride.
Ok, the guy on the right put his helmet on the ground, upside down!
Somebody should bitch-slap him and take his bike away from his, stat!

the last article in this new wt, shows me that the organization is dealing with much information that is damaging them.
i am sure that the many recent lawsuits are being noticed by the r&f.. here are some gems from that article, titled the naive person believes every word.
we must be very selective about what we consider worthy of our attention.
