CERN admits that experiment did NOT exceed the speed of light...
by james_woods inthe cern scientists who had made the very interesting (and contraversial) claim that they had beamed neutrino particles to a reciever at a speed faster than the speed of light have retracted the claim.... it turns out that there was an error in the experiment due to a faulty connector.. the original announcement was met with a great deal of noise from the scientific community as it would potentially have overturned a large foundation of basic physics..

Where did this "God lives in the Pleiades" notion come from?
by james_woods inthe other thread with this name in the title made me think of it again.. i know the witnesses used to say this - and for sure, there are other religions that think this as well.. the fundy-baptist preacher that my sister got to do my fathers funeral made a big deal of it during the service - (why, i cannot fathom...).. so, can some kind scholar here give us a short course in why this particular star formation is so most holy?.

Watchtower doctrines failed or discredited in the past 20 years -
by james_woods inthe several threads on the literal 144,000 got me to thinking about this: it is getting pretty obvious that the literal 144,000 is at least getting very questionable and likely will not be able to stand long without a serious remodeling.
what else has fallen by the wayside?
i thought of these -.

Comments on the Rapture in P & R on Ferrari Site:
by james_woods ina thread came up discussing the "rapture".
the notion was roundly dismissed as being ridiculous - except one guy posted essentially this:.
wouldn't it be better to just do what the religionists tell you in case they were right - then you would be saved.. i posted this in response:.

Should Joe Paterno resign over the Penn State child sex abuse scandal?
by james_woods infirst, i don't know if we have had a thread on this yet - so if this is a repost, ignore appropriately.. but i am thoroughly disgusted by this developing scandal - an assistant coach at pen state is accused of multiple, repeated, child sexual offenses.
a member of the football staff exewitnesses and incident reported it to paterno (years ago, it is reported) - and paterno reported it to the athletic director.
nothing was done, nothing was reported to the authorities.. finally, the scandal broke over the weekend.. i am deeply dissapointed with paterno - this guy was one of my football heros.

?JW guy and Taser attack during Cowboys - Jets game?
by james_woods ini just saw this on the morning tv news - and did not get to hear enough of it to make sense:.
but, they were saying something about a patron sneaking a taser into the sunday game and using it on another fan.. they also said that one of the guys (i assumed the victim) was "a devout jehovah's witness who does not believe in saluting the flag or standing for the national anthem".. anybody know what happened here?.
