Just like JWs always describe the last convention as "the best one ever", i think it has become a bit of a cliche that we always think the cult bit is worse than ever every year. However they do seem to have outdone themselves with this program, it is certainly the most cultist I can remember..

93Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program
by thedepressedsoul inwow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

In the country where I live, most of those who go to Syria goes to the same fundie musques often partially funded by Arabic oil money. The Imams of course treat it like it's a mystery why this is the case (it has be documented they have been involved in sending young people away for "Quran schools" which act as a halfway houses to Syria) all the while they preach the medieval interpretation of Islam and do their level best to for instance ensure the women do not get jobs but live on the dole.
Part of recognizing not all Muslims are terrorists is to recognize Muslims don't turn into terrorists because they catch a cold but there are specific environments which breed terrorists.

I don't get why they can go to Syria and fight for Morons International and not get charged with treason when they get home; it should be an instant ticket to 10 years in the shade and a potential extradition to Iraq or Kurdistan for additional charges. -

Waves in Gravity detected, another lucky hit?
by prologos ingravity waves sound like a special kind of sound, so is this another lucky hit in the otherwise discredited bible?
gen i: 3,6,9,"said" like in acoustics?
note the subject area, and be objective.

kaik: actually i have not insulted you but just pointed out that you either misunderstood or misremember whatever you might have read in 2006. If you consider that trolling so be it and for my sake you are free to believe gravity waves were observed in 2006; i just find it facinating you seem to assume you remember correctly and all other scientists have forgotten thats all. -

Kaik: well, when you find the post, do inform the Nobel prize committee before they hand out the prize to the wrong team :-). -

Kaik: i am not arguing, i am just puzzled that you seems to believe gravity waves were first observed ten years ago and nobody paid any attention, including the only people working on experiments that could potentially observe gravity waves.

kaik: I remember that one of my class in undergrad, we were discussing the observation of the gravity wave, which suppose to happen for the first time ever. That was around 2006. I know it, because I still have a post on the internet from that year.
There seems to be two options:
- Gravity waves were directly observed ca. 2006 but everyone forgot OR
- you remember wrong (you might be remembering observations of radio emisions from pulsars which match what can be expected if gravity waves did exist)

kaik:
What I remember, the gravity moves in waves were discovered years ago. I remember we had discussed when I did my undergrad on this specific topic that the gravity waves moves with the speed of light. This was ten years ago or so.
Einstein postulated gravity waves about 100 years ago as a consequence of general relativity, however they were certainly not discovered 10 years ago in the sense of being observed.

A step in the right direction: Denmark banning circumcision as a cruel, barbaric and archaic ritual not fit for modern civilised lands
by Gilbeath Haaraloth inas you may know, this makes me very happy.
ban on religious circumcision.
relate to a ban in all probability will not stop the millennium old core tradition in many parts of islam and especially judaism.

- The article is in a tabloid
- The article is in the idiot-section of the tabloid
- The article discuss what some people would do if circumcision was banned
- circumcision is not banned in Denmark and likely will not be for a long time
