  bettany hughes is producing a program on atlantis for the bbc.. here's some of her claims.

  is a volcanic explosion that destroyed thera, the basis of plato's story?.

  around 1620bc the greek island of thera (now known as santorini) blew sky high.

  thank you, simon!.

  having collected my message this morning, (having logged myself out and then in again because i clicked in the wrong place, see another thread) i opened and read it, and then realised i no longer had to refresh the page!

  actually, now that i think about it, i think that's been so for several recent messages.

  Rewriting the dictionary

  i got a really lengthy pm from a poster i don't know, scolding me for saying there is a difference between rape and religious abuse.

  i recently had a conversation with someone who says eating oysters is vegetarian.

  when i pointed out it isn't, the person said we all have different definitions of vegetarian.

  Bertrand russell on sceptisism (the philosophy)

  by bohm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am currently reading bertrand russells "a history of western philosophy" and this passage struck me as true:.

  scepticism naturally made an appeal to many unphilosophic minds.

  people observed the diversity of schools and the acerbity of their disputes, and decided that all alike were pretending to knowledge which was in fact unattainable.

  Please help. I am losing the plot.

  by wordyword in

  2. experiences

  after being a witness for 40 years, i now find myself disfellowshipped.. i have had a number of doubts for a few years now, but still feel as if i'm living my life in the "t minus " to armageddon spector.. my parents are in their 80's and my dear mother is in very bad health.

  i was allowed to pop through - about once a month to make sure my parents were ok and for them to see their grandchildren.

  this all ended after the july watchtower article and especially since the district convention - with all the "counsel" on associating with disfellowshipped family members.. around 6 weeks ago, my dad asked me point blank why i wasn't trying to get reinstated.
