  Are You a Photic Sneezer?

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i am, and my wife never believed me that a sudden bright light can make me sneeze.

  apparently a third of humans are photic sneezers.

  although the exact mechanism isn't fully understood it may be that a strong signal in the optic nerve can stimulte a nearby branch of the trigeminal nerve.. its time to come out the closet and be proud of your crossed wires.. ....

  @skeeter1 " Where's the exact waiver that the person signs?"

  difficult to sign a waiver when you are minutes away from bleeding out - this is in the first few sentences of the article.

  this technique will be used without advance permission on patients who are almost certainly dead with current conventional therapies.

  people in the area are being offered an opt-out bracelet.

  what a nasty scumbag - organised religions of this type allow these control freak psychos to do their worst to vulnerable children and adults

  the sooner the Charity Commission sees through their bullshit the better

  so glad me and my immediate family are out.

  fusion with god natural .

  all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

  Matthew Powner- Advanced research on the Origin of life. How credible is he?

  by KateWild in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have come to the conclusion that science cannot prove or disprove the existence of god.

  however the scientific evidence available is compelling enough for me to believe that a creator is responsible for life on earth.. i have read much about powner and understand the work he is doing.

  i am interested in your views as to his credibility.

  come on people - this is really simple

  believers believe because they want to - and then torture selected facts to appear rational

  a-believers haven't seen evidence to support any god or god-type concept

  One of my beliefs (without evidence) is that its a futile discussion.

  JW refuses to provide wedding stationery to Gay couple

  by KateWild in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.

  i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.

  i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

  "marvin", who i understand is a pseudonym, has an excellent blog whose most recent post was last september.

  his most recent contribution to wikipedia, where he made very valuable contributions, was march 2013.. i have emailed him wondering if he's ok, but haven't had a response.

  anyone know if he's ok or what the deal is?.

  I felt he didn't really understand how to make forums like this work for him.
