  skeptics of the world, unite!.

  as i slowly and deliberately nursed a nonalcoholic cup of coca-cola tonight, something motivated me to pull out my notes on infinitism and share them with you good folks here.

  infinitism is a philosophical school of thought that advocates the epistemological "suspension of judgment.

  Heidegger's Dasein

  for those who have trouble understanding basic existential concepts, may i suggest william barrett's work _irrational man_.

  on pp.

  218-219 of this monograph, barrett succinctly explains the significance of dasein in heideggerian thought.

  continued from last post:.

  : james 3:17 says that the wisdom from above is, among other things, epieikhs.

  thucydides utilizes the greek word epieikhs to describe men who listen to reason.

  :: he didn't merely suspend it -- he substituted another for it.

  in our case here, therefore, god's telling abraham to kill isaac was by definition not murder.

  : first, i am not sure what i believe in this case.

  Monomaniacal Ex-JWs?

  1. jw

  its been a while since i read stephen r. covey's _the 7 habits of highly effective people_ and i do not feel like looking up the section i am getting ready to mention.

  but i think i recall covey talking about the unhealthy habit of becoming overly engrossed in one activity or pursuit.. it seems that there are individuals using this medium of communication whose life's aim is to "help" jws out of the "borg" or 'bring down the tower.

  if it tricks your trigger, i guess there is nothing anyone can do to prevent you from "helping" jws out of the "borg.
