Why can't my friends be apostates?
by Paralipomenon inwell on the weekend i get a mistake msn message from an old jw friend that was trying to message someone else so we chat for a bit and she mentions that she has some pictures up on facebook.
so i register up and find a few other friends and in a short order i've reestablished contact with most of my friends from congregations growing up.
each and every one of them is still a loyal witness.

Mormon "apostates" more reasonable?
by Paralipomenon inhttp://www.pbs.org/mormons/talk/ .
looking at the feedback from both current and ex-mormons, while there isn't an open dialog, there seems to be a fairly sane overtone to all the comments.
contrast that to the knocking forum that they had to shut down due to the endless arguments from both sides.

Looking for research assistance: Child Abuse in Christendom
by Paralipomenon ini tossed most of my wts stuff and cd a long time ago so i lack the ability to check this.
does anyone have a list of the articles in which the wts discussed the issue of child abuse in other religions?
i seem to recall it being the main feature of an awake in the late 80's.

Snow day update
by Paralipomenon inwell i'm caught in the middle of a blizzard right now so i'm stuck at work.
i left a few hours ago, but it took me a full hour to go 3 kilometers so i went back to work.
i've had a rather interesting week and now i have alot of spare time so i might as well make a post about it.

Never piss off the internet
by Paralipomenon inthere is a very funny webcomic named the oatmeal.
i like to check on it and it makes me laugh.. about a year ago the author of the comic discovered that another website was ripping off his material and hosting it on their site complete with heavy advertisments.. true to the form of his site, he created a comic about it that embarassed the website into actually enforcing their copyright protection.. fast forward a year later, the website that was stealing the property hires a lawyer to sue the company it was ripping off content from.. the legal demand is taken, and broken down by the comic's artist here.

Why is it so cold this winter? Science, not hype.
by Paralipomenon inwith this being a hot topic on the board right now (bad pun sorry) i discovered an interesting article offering an explanation from real scientists.. http://www2.ucar.edu/magazine/currents/brrr-ao-way-low.
the article does a nice generic explanation, then gets alot more technical if you are so inclined.
if you follow the climate change debate and have heard one side saying this is the result of the artic warming up from global warming, or another side saying the cold is evidence of a lack of warming, you'll be interested in hearing what they have to say on the topic specifically:.

Jesus: Substitute ruler?
by Paralipomenon indredging into the dark memories of indoctrination i was curious about one particular teaching that i remember.
after armageddon jesus would sit on the throne of power for 1000 years.
after his millennial reign satan would be let lose to tempt god's servants once more.
