  Cars that run on charcoal?

  by darkuncle29 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey people, haven't been around for a while but i had a question i wanted to pose.

  does anyone else remember from some really old jw yearbooks -i'm thinking 1920's to 1940's- stories from the australian outback of the full time traveling pioneers using trucks and cars that ran off of charcoal or wood chips?

  i know that the idea of burning the gasses from "destructive distillation" can work, either as a flame or to power an engine.

  Question about Pantheism or panentheism.

  by darkuncle29 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these are not the same thing right?

  is the difference just a nuance of language?

  i may be getting them mutually confused.. just for the sake of conversational understanding, could i oversimplify and say that "pantheism is 'all things are god', 'the universe is god'?

  What Homophobia REALLY means.

  by darkuncle29 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know from my own life experience, that repressed sexual expression leads to externalizing that repression and projecting it upon others.

  fear, anger, and self loathing is the bottom line.

  when i finially was freed of the jw beliefs, and then later came out to friends (actually, i was outed), i had a new awareness dawn on me one day.

  Apostate Bible studies?

  by darkuncle29 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've had this idea for a few days, just mulling how to flesh it out if you will.

  it may not be a new idea, but i'll try to get it out coherently.. lets say there is a guy, he's a jw but has been surfing the net and knows now that the wts is bogus.

  he can't just leave, he has family-wife and young children who are in the borg.

  hi peoples, .

  do any of you have experience with your parents or grandparents getting hooked on money making scams, publisher's clearing house, or other "schemes" where people call and use high pressure sales tactics and manipulation to get you to buy there program?.

  i know this is not jw stuff, but to me, it pushes alot of the same buttons.
