All three of the Bayformers sucked, and oh how I hate Michael Bay. - NRFG
Ditto! I watched the first 20mins of Transformers and refused to watch the rest of it and the sequels.
'Legends of the Fall' was a total waste of an evening. It goes ooooonnn and oooooooonnnnn and ooooonnn and oooooooonnnnn, then just when you think it can't possibly get any more depressingly miserable and you think it's going to end, it goes ooooonnn and oooooooonnnnn a bit longer.

Confirmation Bias
by allelsefails ini've read a lot of crap in my life (not just wts) and i have finally found the phrase to describe almost every religious wrting i've read.
"confirmation bias" affects how jws look at historical facts, how dems and repubs look at economic facts, or how all people look at information presented to them.
i still go to meetings every once in a while to make my wife and my boss feel better about me, but sometimes i can't believe how idiotic some things are.

There's an awful lot of it in the media...
UK newspaper, The Daily Mail, is notorious for sensationalising out-of-context findings from medical studies. However, earlier this year, the UK press caused a massive furore when they used confirmation bias to hype up a paper published in the British Medical Journal entitled, "Six months of exclusive breastfeeding: How good is the evidence?"
Relying purely on breastfeeding for the first six months might not be best for babies, experts in the UK have warned.
Now a new review says that breastfed babies should be weaned before they're six months old.
Scientists from University College London say children not introduced to solid food early enough could suffer from iron deficiency, or become prone to allergies. The research, however, contradicts government advice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12189183This was nicely deconstructed as misrepresentation on the part of the BMJ paper and further misrepresentation on the part of the Associated Press by infant feeding consultant Charlotte Thomas, aka The Analytical Armardillo, in her blog: http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2011/01/starting-solids-facts-behind-todays.html and widely refuted by authorities such as UNICEF and the UK Department of Health.
An article published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) is being reported in the media as questioning whether exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is appropriate for UK babies. This article is not based on new evidence but rather a re-analysis of older evidence, much of which is the same as that used as the basis for weaning recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UK’s Departments of Health (DH). http://www.unicef.org.uk/BabyFriendly/News-and-Research/News/UNICEF-UK-response-to-media-reports-questioning-the-recommendation-to-introduce-solid-food-to-babies-at-6-months/

Foreign language groups. OK to dress in a Saree Sisters?
by punkofnice inin the uk we have 'urdu' groups which are usually english people learning urdu and going to preach in mainly muslim areas.
(most who speak english perfectly).. some of the white/non asian sister dress in sarees.. is this disrespectful?.
downright idiotic?.

Awright geeezzaa! I love da cockney edishun ov da magazine. What a great phot ov a pearly king. Sorted mate! 'Ave a banaaaana!
Whilst sarees are beautiful, I would imagine that having a non-Muslim woman turn up at your door wearing one to preach about a Christian religion would be a tad patronising and disrespectful, but even more so if it is worn without a head covering seeing as they are mostly worn ceremoniously (to Mosque, weddings etc) in British Muslim culture.

I woke up in the night once to find myself feeling pinned down to the bed and incapable of moving. As I started to come to, I realised it wasn't sleep paralysis but something was literally pinning me down. My first thought was "Aaaaaarrrgghghhhhh!!!!! DEMONS!!!!!". I wanted to scream but my chest felt crushed. I was about to start a silent prayer when suddenly "the demon" started grunting and groaning. It got up off my chest and started batting at the light switch cord which hung above my bed. I grabbed the cord and yanked the light on only to find that "the demon" was in actual fact my little brother. He'd been sleepwalking again. He'd got up, walked to my bed and laid down on it (only he'd laid down on me). Him reaching for the light switch and missing was because he normally slept with a light on, whereas I always needed darkness. He woke up feeling and looking very disorientated when I'd turned on the light.
Twice in my entire life that I can recall, and for no discernable reason, I have woken up and my sight has been entirely black and white for nearly a minute until the part of my brain that dealt with seeing in colour, woke up.

Most memorable moment when a Dub?
by sinis inas a kid i enjoyed hanging out with friends, who have since disowned me.
i really enjoyed the assemblies and checking out sisters - in fact one year we invested (we were around 16-17 yo) in small transmit/receive devices - actually pretty cool....

I used to go visit my JW Grandparents during school holidays. I really enjoyed my stays as I got to associate with more cool, young JWs of my own age than I ever would have back home.
So this one Thursday night after the meeting, I ended up sneaking outside the back of the KH with a young bro who was only a few months older than me (I was 14, he was 15) and playing some tonsil hockey.
