How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?
by BucketShopBill inis there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?
with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.
does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

Mikado - Awesome! Thank you for helping out.. I messaged Terry, asking him for some details.
If any one wants to donate but does not want to specify the amount or the donation here in Public, please PM me.
We already have $95.00 raised!!! If you can just donate $1.00 that helps too.
I agree about dropping the Atheist / Theist label.. Regardless of our beliefs and viewpoints we are all True Friends on this site, so let's help a friend.

I'm not interested in the Atheist/Theist label on the fund - However I fully support a community fund raiser.
I volunteer to collect the funds (Or help collect funds)
To get it started I Donate $75.00

Ill message Terry and coordinate. I hope this works out, it would be really nice.

Update to Linguistics Publications Software Build
by objectivetruth ina few weeks ago, i mentioned a new tool that i started building which will track wording changes and find trends highlighting propoganda techniques in the wt publications... this is an update.. 1. a fellow jwn member has joined the project, (more like he recruited me to join his already existing project).. 2. we have made some great progress.
the most exciting news is that we now have a complete text catalog of all watchtower publications from the 1870's to 2014.. 3. we are building an online tool which will be "invite only" (the site will be free, but certain areas will only be accessible to approved individuals) .
this tool will be similar to wol.jw.org , with 1 main difference.. there will be no "newspeak" tactics employed on this site.

They are not playing around.. I've been creating a scraper for the site for a new project that I'm working on, and my IP has now officially been banned as of this morning. It's not a big deal as I'll just use a VPN now but, some thing is indeed changing.

I HAD MY BICYCLE STOLEN!
by Terry inthree months ago i had to stop driving my car.
it wouldn't pass inspection and it would cost about $3k to get it up to par.. well, it's a 98 honda accord with about 179 thousand miles on it, what did i expect?.
.. i decided i would switch to riding a bicycle instead.. it has worked out fairly well.. i put about 10 miles a day on it.

I just got done looking at some statistics on very trustworthy sites.. Here are a few interesting conclusions..
1. 7% of Atheists do not believe in God but do believe in a god.
2. 36% of Agnostics are actually Atheists, however they have spent so much time researching science books and stuff like that they neglected to do a simple google search on "Difference between Atheist and Agnostic"
3. 83% of Theists in North America secretly wish they were Atheist, so they could follow their God Given conscience instead of a Religous Creed.
4. .05% of Atheists are also Asexual.
5. 15% of arguments between Theists begin, simply because of the Mis Pronouncement of 2 Words , A and Theist.. It turns out if you do not use proper pausing and modulation it sounds like you are calling a Theist an Atheist.
Statistics Do not Lie - Only People Do.

" Similarly, unrepentant apostates go, at death, not to Sheol, or Hades, but to Gehenna. (Hebrews 6:4-8; 2 Peter 2:1) The same is true of dedicated Christians who persist in willful sin or those who shrink back. (Hebrews 10:26-31, 38,39) These are merely examples to show that some, even in this system of things, have committed the sin for which there is no forgiveness, not even in the system of things to come." WT 1982-4-1
This is a Form of Propoganda that (Sad to Say) Hitler utilized fully :
By creating a Hated and Feared enemy, groups of People can be controlled in many ways.
1. They all share a common goal - Us (JW's) vs. Them (Apostates) - This goal is Exclusion and Hatred of any one classified as an Apostate.
2. They all fear the Enemy, and for this reason they draw closer to the Central Leadership of the Group.
3. They are made vulnerable to additional mind control and mass manipulation, since they are ruled by Hate & Fear as opposed to Love & Reason.
" One crucial factor in creating a cohesive group is to define who is excluded from membership. Nazi propagandists contributed to the regime's policies by publicly identifying groups for exclusion, inciting hatred or cultivating indifference, and justifying their pariah status to the populace. Nazi propaganda played a crucial role in selling the myth of the “national community” to Germans who longed for unity, national pride and greatness, and a break with the rigid social stratification of the past. But a second, more sinister aspect of the Nazi myth was that not all Germans were welcome in the new community."
