That's a helluva way to "get ahead," Shirley. I would never, ever be able to pull something like that off. -

It might just be my tablet, but I can't hear any audio.
Would be interested in watching this.

I'm my favorite type of JW - Double Life
by thedepressedsoul inthe borg's tactics on most jw work.
they put fear into their mind, they guilt trip them and basically make them scared to do anything when they are away from the kingdom hall.
it allows them to control every aspect of their life.

Conversation with my mother-in-law this morning
by StarTrekAngel ini am skipping the details on how we got to this point.
conversation was calmed and pleasant and while i know she is not the most educated person (she can hardly read), its hard to justify it by saying is a matter of ignorance.
it is definitely something inside her that triggers on that very moment.. me: i don't know where all the money is going.

It's like you were having two separate conversations!
Sometimes people with trouble in logical/mathematical thinking truly can't follow a line of thought in an argument. They get stuck on extraneous details.
She just couldn't focus on the per diem cost and then compare it in a rent vs. own scenario.
But, she sure did home in on the Society's message: donate, donate, donate!

How to Choose a Wife!
by snugglebunny inback in the day, when my family moved to a new congregation, i fell head over heels with a young sister who was an elder's daughter.
it wasn't long before we were talking about marriage and i was contemplating buying her an engagement ring.
my parents were not happy at all.

Me too, truthseeker, me too. And I think the "not a witness" part is key. -

Disowning the God of the OT is not an Option
by cofty init's to their credit that many modern christians prefer the jesus of the gospels to the god of the old testament.. ot god is an embarrassment.
i am not going to list his multitude of moral crimes here but my personal favourite is his brilliant idea that a girl who is raped must marry her rapist.
it's not his biggest crime but it demonstrates a disregard for human feelings that is beyond the comprehension of every moral person.

I can't tell whether you believe that the god of the OT is the same as the god of the NT or not? Is Jesus a part of that godhead or is he just the son of the OT god Yahweh? When Jesus speaks of his father, is this the same as Yahweh, the OT god? I'm just not clear on your position. -

My coment was meant for Hold Me. He's going off on a tangeant equating the nature of god with the morality of society. Not the same thing at all. -

Strawman. Nobody was talking about society. The discussion is about the nature of God. -

How the human mind processes facts and faith differently
by EdenOne ini found this very interesting article by t. m. luhrmann in todays edition of the new york times (i've highlighted a few parts i 've found most interesting):.
it seems weird to deny them.. and yet a broad group of scholars is beginning to demonstrate that religious belief and factual belief are indeed different kinds of mental creatures.
people process evidence differently when they think with a factual mind-set rather than with a religious mind-set.

Eden, I looked at the study regarding supernatual reasoning increasing with age.
I wonder, though, if this might be a cohort effect wherein these beliefs are more common among those of an earlier generation?
In that case, it might represent a way of thinking that has since become "modernized," which would explain why younger people were less likely to ascribe supernatual explanations to natural phenomena.
This, in contrast to the idea that age represents longer and thus more mature reasoning.
