Teach a squirrel to chainsaw and you'll run forever
by gubberningbody inyou know that old adage, "give a squirrel a chainsaw and you'll run for a day.
teach a squirrel to chainsaw and you'll run forever."?.
chainsaw wielding squirrels might raze all the nut-bearing trees to the ground, but it might also change the tactics of squirrels when they feel the need to defend themselves.

Have you ever noticed how similar the Society is to a Multi-Level Marketing Business?
by SAHARA inmaybe this discussion has already taken place on this forum, or maybe some of you may scoff at this observation as just stating the obvious, but i think it may be worth while to post this for those of you who have yet to discover this paralell.
i was involved in a mlm business in the insurance industry from 1993 - 2000. this life insurance agency was started in 1977 by just a few individuals and had grown by recruiting average working class people to become part-time sales agents and sold them the american dream.
in just a few years time, this agency entered every state and grew into a sales force of roughly 200,000 people, part time and full timers, and by 1984 had become the #1 seller of life insurance in the country for approximately 15 years straight.

Fascinating Article About The Psycology of JW's and Apostasy
by PublishingCult indysfunctional beliefs of a jehovahs witness apostatethe jehovahs witness organization is a cult in that it:.
censors all of its members reading material through the watchtower society.prohibits its members to refer to any other media (including internet) or alternative scriptures for answers to important questions in life even gain a better understanding of the witness scriptures.
this means no individual interpretation allowed.prohibits member dissent from the orders of each kingdom halls network of elders, which is why child abuse has been kept hush hush and has been rampant within the organization.prohibits its members from interacting with non-witnesses, beyond the extent of trying to convert them.threatens its members with disavowment should they consort with non-witnesses beyond the extent of trying to convert them (that includes any family members who have left are not a part of the organization).threatens its members with hell-sentences should they invoke disavowment (which is explained below) and this is some serious brainwashing.read more .

Anyone watch USA vs Czech Republic game last night?
by lepermessiah ini am so tired of usa soccer.. i keep waiting for this giant step forward, but the national team has been stuck in neutral for years now.. ever since the excitement of 1994, i have been expecting a gradual improvement on the world stage.. everytime they play a quality opponent, they get exposed as a 2nd rate team.
it has been that way for years.the defense last night was horrific, and even though they scored twice against petr cech, both goals were from sloppy set-pieces.. the commentators last night even suggested before the match that the usa has a golden opportunity vs england in the first round of the world cup.....yeah right.
i remember the same chatter in 1998 against germany, and germany annihilated them (score was not indicative of the domination) you can throw the rankings out the window - the usa is still not a player on the big stage.. (now watch them come out blazing in the wc2010 - lol).

Did You Know Any Jehovah's Witnesses That "Did" Drugs?
by minimus inmy teenage daughter suggested to me that certain kids in well connected families were regular pot smokers.
it was always hush hush because of their connections but evidently it was common knowledge within the "in" crowd.. i knew some adults that were on prescription pills but they had legitimate excuses for being "happy".
of course, most jws i know of, medicate themselves on booze..
