13Subliminal Messages
by Lost in the fog ini was watching a fascinating ted-ex video on hypnosis and hypnotism with a friend.
my friend wondered if the jws new music might have a hypnotic suggestion buried somewhere in it which gets everyone in attendance to listen and absorb stuff that is totally irrational for the entire program.
ending with a second subliminal message in the final song along the lines of "you will snap out of this state when you next hear the word amen.

Lost in the fog - I think your screen name is fitting.
Hanged Man - I think the oxygen deprived state has affected your brain. Yes, grimoire is the root of grammar. Scawyy stuff, Elmer. And Amen is said to be derived from Amen Ra, an Egyptian god and for which the use has mythic qualities when used. And, and, .. the days of the week are named after pagan gods. And, and, and ... the months are named after pagan gods..... And, and, and, and, ... it all means ....
absolutely fukking nothing other than words have various origins.
But hey, Hollywood loves this stuff. I suggest you write a screen play incorporating all of this and make yourself rich and famous. There is a market for it. That you really believe that this stuff has any relevance makes we want to suggest that you find a grip somewhere. Because you need one. Or two.

Gorb,
You ususlly make sense, but this OP??? You been drinking or smoking something, or are you just so full of righteous anger at the evil DarkLords that it has affected your rational thoughts?
The DarkLords think of themselves as god's chosen who will sit at god's right hand and rule along with jesus for a thousand years and then forever. They will make life and death decisions about every human who has ever lived or who will ever live.
There is no board of directors to vote them out and no share holders to pressure them to step down. And at nearly every meeting they beat the rank and file with the Miriam Murmuring against Moses stick to keep them quiet. They will double down on the vile shunning practice and baptizing 8 year olds to artificially swell the numbers, making their profit statement look good to the shareholders, caring not that the 8 year olds are setting themselves up for a life of shunning and pain.
And based on what I read, they are killing the competition, just like any power mad dictator, by claiming only the 8 in charge are the FDS. I predict that in the future they will stop counting those partaking of the emblems, effectively killing the rest of the 'anointed' and leaving only them.
Like greedy corporate CEOs, all they care about is themselves and the next quarter income statement. They can and will do whatever is required to maintain their status quo. They even alerted the rank and file, from what I read, about the strategy and tactics.
They own the tactics, the strategy and now apparently the KHs and all the valuable things. They are impervious to the actions you describe. So unless you can come up with something rational I suggest you re-think this or avoid the chemicals.

Stephanie,
None of what I wrote was my opinion - and not my words. It's the law. A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far, away), I worked in HR and had a lot of corporate legal training. I am by no means an expert (I was at that time) and my experience is not recent, but the laws haven't changed much if any since that time.
If you are worried about exposure, you may consider letting HR know anonymously. Does your company have a hotline? The only problem with this is, to prove a hostile workplace, you have to show yourself.
Still, companies try to avoid messy situations like this and if you handle it correctly the Dub will likely receive the same general warning everyone else receives after your information is received. They might speak with the Dub directly as well, as they should, but sometimes companies take the chicken way out and just send out an APB.
Good luck. And never follow anyone's opinions regarding corporate law.

If you deface or destroy the magazines, or even leave notes on them, you could risk violating federal guidelines and get yourself in trouble at work. While acceptable to do this to mags in public places, it is not acceptable in work environments. The Jdub is likely violating federal rules in that they are creating a hostile work environment by leaving the mags there.
Speak to HR about it.
http://work.chron.com/legally-considered-religious-harassment-workplace-11817.html
Preaching one's faith to other employees or trying to convert them can also fall under the umbrella of religious harassment, especially if it interferes with job performance or if employers fail to address employee complaints. Also called proselytizing, it's one of the more complicated aspects of religious harassment, notes the Anti-Defamation League. That's because if you order an employee to stop proselytizing, this could be construed as hindering religious freedom. If one employee complains about a co-worker's proselytizing, employers should attempt to accommodate both parties by moving them to different departments, for example.

Flat earth vs round earth
by Jrjw inmy brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.
what are people's thoughts on this?.

Mr. Robot,
I suggest you publish your findings in a reputable scientific journal. If you are so certain of yourself, if proven true your findings will make you world famous and rich.
Or perhaps you can submit your findings and bona fides to an upcoming scientific symposium to be a presenter. Again, if you are right you have untold fame and riches ahead of you.
Why are you wasting your valuable research and findings on us? I mean, we could steal your stuff. Bad form
FummDukk.

Nothing screams "living in my mom's basement, using her utilities, eating her food, surfing her Internet, spending a big chunk of my disposable income on comic books and building robots, having no post secondary education, no ambition, no achievement 30ish white boy" than the following screen names:
MrRoboto and Atom Ant.
You clowns remind me of the NerdHerd on Big Bang Theory, minus of course the education, achievement, IQ and the ability to occasionally get laid.

The Greatest Conspiracy Theory of All Time Quick and easy responses to moon landing hoax claims, Jul 10, 2016
"Make a short list of important and spectacular historical events, and it’s clear that the Apollo Moon missions were unique in the way they were documented. There were no cameras at the Battle of Marathon. No NPR reporters at the French Revolution. The Mongol invasions came and went without a single press conference. Nor was their extensive print or web news coverage of the invention of the first stone tool or the first time a human created fire. Even most of World War II took place off camera.
By contrast, every step of NASA’s effort to get to the Moon was meticulously documented from within and without. This thoroughness left behind many thousands of documents, photographs, and audio/video recordings, as well as millions of typed and handwritten words. Artifacts, the tangible hardware, from lunar mission are currently on display in numerous museums around the world. And there is the Moon itself. Astronauts returned with more than 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of Moon rocks that have been shared and studied by scientists in many countries for decades. None of these experts have expressed doubts of the rocks’ origin.
Maybe NASA could have produced convincing video on a terrestrial sound stage that was good enough to fool non-experts. But why do it so many times? There were nine missions to the Moon, six of which landed. The Apollo 16 and 17 crews each spent three days there. Why? If this was all a daring PR stunt, why increase the risk of discovery with multiple missions? Why make it necessary for so many astronauts and ground personnel to lie and maintain the cover up? If this were a hoax, doesn’t it seem more likely that NASA would have faked one landing, had a big parade, and then promptly shut down the operation?"

CTs are trolls of the worst kind. If Simon won't ban them we should all do what we do with trolls: Ignore them.
"People who believe in conspiracy theories can feel “special,” in a positive sense, because they may feel that they are more informed than others about important social and political events. […]
Our findings can also be connected to recent research demonstrating that individual narcissism, or a grandiose idea of the self, is positively related to belief in conspiracy theories. Interestingly, Cichocka et al. (2016) found that paranoid thought mediates the relationship between individual narcissism and conspiracy belief.
It has been noted that individuals who endorse conspiracy theories are likely to be higher in powerlessness, social isolation and anomia, which is broadly defined as a subjective disengagement from social norms.
Individuals who feel alienated may consequently reject conventional explanations of events, as they reject the legitimacy of the source of these explanations. Due to these individuals feeling alienated from their peers, they may also turn to conspiracist groups for a sense of belonging and community, or to marginalised subcultures in which conspiracy theories are potentially more rife.
People who feel powerless may also endorse conspiracy theories as they also help the individual avoid blame for their predicament. In this sense, conspiracy theories give a sense of meaning, security and control over an unpredictable and dangerous world. Finally, and most simply, conspiracy beliefs — which imply a level of Machiavellianism and power enacted by those without fixed morality — are most likely to resonate with people who feel powerless and believe that society lacks norms.
The Internet has amplified the abilities of these like-minded people to come together to share and expand on their conspiracy theories. It took only hours after the Las Vegas massacre for a conspiracy Facebook group to appear with more than 5,000 members.
You can’t really argue with people who believe in conspiracy theories, because their beliefs aren’t rational. Instead, they are often fear- or paranoia-based beliefs that, when confronted with contrarian factual evidence, will dismiss both the evidence and the messenger who brings it.2 That’s because conspiracy theories are driven by the people who believe and spread them and their own psychological makeup — not on the factual support or logical reasoning of the theory itself."
