To dark clouds:
Like I told Suzi, you're so far out that you're not even wrong.
No sense trying to reply to such stuff.
As for my relationship with women, those who know me know that I have the utmost respect for them, as long as they think clearly most of the time. Many of the women on this board, and the old H2O board, have my respect because of their clear thinking.
You do not.
AlanF
Poor, poor emyrose.
It has become clear that you're a fairly nice, but simpleminded girl who would like to become more than she is.
Reach for the stars, girl, but keep your feet on the ground! One day you'll arrive.
Perhaps trying to emulate the intelligent ladies on this forum will help.
AlanF
Yes, your're right AlanF, I'm a simple-minded girl who
wishes to be more. Goals me thinks is good. Being much younger,
I'm currently in college and have a simple
magna cum laude GPA and come from a simple-non-educated parents.
I lived in a simple-minded community most of my life and haven't
associated with learned, high and mighty persons like you. But
regardless of all this inferiority I got the concept of
non-absolute truth.
BTW, have you ever heard the famous quote, "Some people are
educated beyond their intelligience?"

Make sure you get those toilets really clean, then.

Hi AF,
It is always good to read your posts. It took me about one to two full months of my life to absorb all of your essays on this cult. Eventhough I am not a JW or ex-JW, I know that you are one of the few who has helped a lot of people understand exactly what this is about - innocent people dying and others being manipulated so that a few people get power. Thanks for taking the time out of your life for doing it.
Are you any good at the law?

you ever hear of beer muscles?
it's a condition where you become all tough and bully like after a few drinks,
when in reality you are a wimp and the alcohol gives you a sense of courage.
well, you've been diagnosed with a case of cyber muscles.
let me explain,
it's a parallel phenomenon that exists in cyberspace,
it is a very similar condition to beer muscles.
instead of the muscles being induced by alcohol,
the courage stems from the ability to sit behind a keyboard and monitor and spew from the mouth.
name calling and hurling insults with totalitarian wisdom,
at anyone who dare oppose your train of thought,
or at anyone who may have insight to a life experience other than your own,
behind your monitor you are the king divinely inspired and you know all. . .
this is the reality inside your head
thus it is true, at least to you. . .
this is so very dub-like, kind of judgemental even,
but what do i know?
i am a low level of existence from your point of view. . .
my own personal observation.
the WT still has you by the nads,
you have not broken away from their black and white mentality.
not that this will matter to you,
because you have no respect for my thoughts,
but then again, if i was really concerned with your perception of me or of anyone elses for that matter,
i would still be influenced by the borg mentality, and perhaps even still attending their meetings. . .
CHUCK
emyrose you say beautiful things. goo.
Well....seeing that I cheated my way through Algebra & Geometry to get out of there, I just enjoy highbrowing it with you guys.
As a great physicist once told a colleague, "your idea isn't even wrong."
But I always enjoy good quotes. Thanks.

an ass by any other name is still an ass
free at last:
thanks for initiating this one, much appreciated, there are some of us here that are open to possibility,
for without such a notion the earth might still be flat, and the moon might still be made of cheese, and some of us here would still be assimilated.
to all the geniuses out there who dared to step away from the mainstream, and challenge the norm, these are the men to whom i would tip my hat if i was wearing one,
those are the souls who i admire and respect, and they have my gratitude for opening the doors of perception, through their courage and persistence they showed society that the mainstream view is not always correct, it is only popular.
for the amusement of those that can read and understand and have a grasp for language and possibility, let's play a bit. . .
Clearly, if v > c, the factor sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2) is imaginary. This means that the transformed quantities of distance, time, mass and length are imaginary.Do you have any idea what an imaginary distance is? Or an imaginary time? Or an imaginary mass? Or an imaginary length? Of course not, and neither does anyone else.
Therefore, plugging velocities greater than c into the various relativistic equations gives meaningless results.---alan
keep that quote in the back burner. . .
kurt vonnegut explains his time theory in Slaughterhouse 5
so for those familiar with this story you will understand where i am coming from,
for those who don't know it
in a nutshell, he explains that all moments,
past, present, future,
always have existed, always will exist
its just a matter of time before we get to it
it is an illusion that we have on earth where one moment follows another
like beads on a string
thus the reason we see time as linear
his tralfamadorians(aliens)
can look at different moments
the same way we would look at a skyline,
they choose to look at whatever interests them at the moment
and when bored move on to the next.
so when someone dies
they see the person in a bad situation at that particular moment
but the same person is still fine in plenty of other ones
(kinda like the way jesus saw lazarus when he ressurected him)
thus time explained in his context. . .
with this in mind
picture this,
what if our perception as humans,
is understood by the universe to be 'imaginary'
in the mathematical sense
our time, distance, length and mass
to us seems real because it is all we know at the moment,
and that is the way we se things,
you know like the earth being flat,
relatively, that thought permeated the masses not that long ago.
because we have mass we will never accelerate past it
we are limited by c, the speed of light
so all these physical laws that govern our realm have limited us to traveling accross time,
because it is beyond our physical attainment
c and mass are the reasons we percieve time to be linear
now a being from a higher dimension,
that has no mass can exceed this speed that we call 'imaginary'
because 'he/she' understands this concept and is not limited by it,
thus 'he/she' can cross it, alter it, do whatever they choose with it,
because 'he/she' can,
there is a function for imaginary numbers and these do explain real concepts as stated by alan.
who is to say that these functions can't be applied to that which we are yet to understand
and that these may be explained by science in the future. . .
Note that for v larger than c the Lorentz transformation equations are meaningless, in that real coordinates and times are transformed into imaginary ones. Thus c appears to play the role of a limiting velocity for all physical phenomena.
again c appears to play the role of a limiting velocity for all physical phenomena
seems like the scientist who wrote this is somewhat open minded from his use of the word 'seems'
CHUCK
'so it goes'
edited to add a space
Very postmodern, dark clouds. Like Osarsif, I am reminded of the nonsense Sokal disclosed coming from postmodern "scholars" of various flavors.
(In case you wonder: "postmodernist" is one of my stronger insults)
