Best "wake-up-call"-arguments?!

by Mr Fool in

hi everyone .

it was not my intention to write here anymore, but i found things that caught my interest, things that i feel to share in the hope of someone finds it interesting.. the core is that the wt surprisingly admits that what "we" believe in, is after all, only opinions (awake 2000 june 22 page9-11 "do not be a victim of propaganda).. anyone with a scan of thiese pages would make my day ;-) the questions/arguments below are built around this:.

feel free to find better arguments ;-).

Yes and not too far from the places you mention. Was house jazz guitarist in one venue for about 4 years running.

Will soon be using this amazing and cheap service (link below). You can jam in real time, rehearse and even record at 24bit digital quality with musicians anywhere on the planet without leaving your living room. My jazz quartet will be using this to rehearse.

The day the music died

i commented about how the 2008 yearbook gives the story of a girl who is on estonia idol and gives up an opportunity to progress to further rounds because she has a talk on the theocratic ministry school.

when jws started to study with her, that is the day the music died.. .

while watching the grammys, though most was trash the music from the 70s was great, i thought, what if paul mccartney's parents studied with jws and paul didn't become a musician.

No one puts it better than Steve Hassaan.

Hassan’s Criteria for Mind Control

Steven Hassan is a leading American Exit Counsellor who authored Combatting Cult Mind Control (1990); now a standard text for understanding the tactics and influences of the cults (Hassan & Das, n.d.). He believes that cults try to suppress people’s distinct individual freedom by suppressing their free will, talents, creativity and ability to think for themselves. The ultimate goal of indoctrination and gradual dissociation is to make unique individuals into ‘clones’ that fit the cult’s mould or, theologically speaking, to re-mould people bearing God’s image to people reflecting the image of the cult leader/s.

More brilliant and essential reading over on Freeminds for those who seek to liberate themselves from these cloning techniques. The best discussion and analysis of the subject that I have ever read anywhere.

Cosmetics are poisoning your body...Antiperspirants are listed as a DRUG!

by Witness 007 in

when you buy anti-bacterial products they contain triclosan which in one test was found in the blood of 70% of american patients tested.

it is a carcinogen and banned in some places.

anti perspirants are listed by the fda as "a drug" not a cosmetic.

Dis-member, we have heard enough of your homophobic statements, you know nothing about gay people. I suggest you find another discussion forum to pollute.

I'm sorry but that is such an idiotic statement I won't even respond to it. You have just proved my point. Hateful as usual. Forgive me for not agreeing with or accepting your viewpoint. Your attitude and ignorance is far more offensive than your lifestyle. It's a gross weakness on your part to see even a discussion of the subject as an attack. It's not.

I shot a civil partnership ceremony for a very high ranking member of a certain Royal family. My 3rd in fact. Is that gay enough for you?

Yep, and not just music. No musicians, no painters, no designers, no inventors, no writers, no dancers, no sculptors, no explorers, no mountain climbers, no artists, no developing talents or natural gifts of any kind to any significant level.

Imagine a whole world full of people like this. A lifeless, colourless, artless, creativeless black and white existence where one size fits all. Same clothes, same suits, same haircuts, same bags, same speech, same severely limited life experience, same views, same stock phrase vocabulary and expression from reading all the same brain numbing books and having the same non-education.

Awful society.

I can think of far better examples than the Beatles to represent musical talent but hey..
