New To Wine - Looking for Suggestions
by HintOfLime inusually, in the evenings i like to relax, watch a movie or a comple tv shows, and sip on some vodka.. lately, however, i've gotten into reading again - and vodka just isn't the right drink.
the characters in the books are often read of drinking this wine or that - which has given me a bit of a craving for a good red wine.
something relaxing, and easy enough that it doesn't get you buzzed after a few sips (inhibiting my ability to read, etc.).

"God is Love" vs. "Mentally Diseased" vs. Pink Lingerie
by HintOfLime inall this discussion about the 'mentally diseased' comment the wt made got me thinking.... is that not exactly how it starts?
the de-huminizing of other people?
when the protestants began to reform from the catholic church - where did it start?

New Holy Writings
by HintOfLime inhave the complete "holy writings of god" been discovered?.
is it possible that there are still "legit" holy writings - possibly with completely contradictory information - yet to be discovered?.
how does one determine what is 'holy' vs. 'the writings of man'?

What is there to hide? 100% Transparency.
by HintOfLime inwhy doesn't the wt provide 100% transparency?
what does "god" and his "faithful and discreet slave" have to hide from anyone?.
mind you - non-religious non-profit organizations are doing it.

Who is your hero?
by HintOfLime inpersonally, as a computer programmer, my hero is a bit odd perhaps - gordon ramsey.
i think gordon ramsey is awesome.
no nonsense - he tells boring, lazy, mediocre people that they are mediocre, and passionately tells them what they are doing wrong... because he wants them to do better.

"Charitable Giving" Brochure
by HintOfLime incan someone provide me with some information on the names and nature of a brochure by the wt with a name something along the lines of "charitable giving"?
upon learning that a close jw relative was diagnosed with cancer, and possibly on their deathbed, the "friendly neighborhood jw hopital group" showed up, had a lengthy closed-door discussion with him one-on-one (wife couldn't be present), and left a brocure and dvd in the room with a title along the lines of "charitable giving" - i'm sorry, i didn't read the full name before it disappeared.
the 'brothers' (*cough* moneyhounders in sheeps clothing *cough*) had already left this "information" and had "discussions" with him before even the family learned of the situation and had arrived.. am i right in thinking this is a "you're soon-to-be-widow doesn't really need that life insurance money" brochure?

Which Figured it out First - Your Right Brain or your Left Brain?
by HintOfLime inhi everyone, have a question:.
in your experience, which side figured out that the wt wasn't really "the truth" first?.
the right side of the brain is generally considered to be the "artistic, emotional, 'all at once', sub-conscious, dreaming" side of your brain, while the left being the "logical, procedural, step 1 then step 2" side of your brain.. for me it was clearly the right side - my left side had been well trained to ignore or weasel around the logical problems with the wt.
