  This guy had a history of making "mistakes." The expert witness has performed 5,000 such procedures without making such a "mistake." This guys privileges were suspended because he made too many "mistakes." Don't be such a bigot.

  Proskuneo is accurately translated as "do obeisance" while translating it as "worship" is based on interpretation that worship is 'implied' by the term which is much less satisfactory.
  

  1. to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence
  
  2. among the Orientals, esp. the Persians, to fall upon the knees and touch the ground with the forehead as an expression of profound reverence
  
  3. in the NT by kneeling or prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance, whether in order to express respect or to make supplication
  
  used of homage shown to men and beings of superior rank
  
  a. to the Jewish high priests
  
  b. to God
  
  c. to Christ
  
  d. to heavenly beings
  
  e. to demons

  Where did they get their brainwashing tecniques?

  by cyber-sista in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what is really the most disturbing thing to me is that i really do feel that i was brainwashed in those 20 + years in the org--i mean seriously brainwashed.

  i am not an idiot, but there were times that i look back on now where i was a radical jw, though this is not really my personality to be such.

  i remember after assemblies (while greatly relieved it was over with aching back and all) i would feel different--sometimes i would start donating more money to the wt and at one point i seriously thought of puttingthe wt in my will.

  I'm not trying to be offensive but this whole brain washing thing is nonsense. Repeated investigations have shown that no such thing really exists. Those that exit high control groups and are antagonistic to them typically start talking about brain washing because they don't want to face up to their personal responsibility. It's just another way of saying, "It's not my fault!"

  Why Hasnt America Been Attacked Again??

  what is your opinion of this?

  the us recently released a report stating that airport screeners are not doing their jobs correctly, and outlined which airports were the weakest.. .

  do think the reason we have not had any new terrorist attacks since 2001 is because the government has beefed up homeland security?

  You are so right blacksheep. Security in the US was amazingly lax before 9/11, it was nothing compared to most other countries I've traveled in. Building security is still pretty bad most places. I was in a government office last week and just walked right through the entry, try that in Egypt, or China, or the UK for that matter.

  Mulan you shouldn't be on the list permanently. I hit the jack-pot once and was strip searched in three different air ports but it hasn't happened since.

  Question on jw scenario

  by A Paduan in

  considering the said jw pacifist stance

  a jw passes by a woman being raped and says to the perp, "hey you shoudn't do that", and the perp says, "[edit] off", and continues - other help is quite some time away.

  what does the jw do ?

  Witnesses have never claimed to be pacifists. And, neutrality applies to politics, not some individual being attacked.

  The US hasn't been attacked because Al Quada has been disrupted, some are dead, some are in custody, some are running, the money is not flowing freely and they don't have open government protection in any country.

  yeru trying to reason with someone like realist is a complete waste of time, black will allways be white for these guys because they don't care about facts, only the anti-US agenda.

  Why I think Bush is scary

  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4767542/ in woodward's portrait, president bush is single-minded, and possibly simple-minded, in his resolve.

  he seems to have relied more on divine guidance than the considered opinions of his top advisers.

  bush told woodward that as he approached the final decision to go to war, "i was praying for strength to do the lord's will ... i'm surely not going to justify war based on god.

  Yep, two disgruntled ex-employees, both of whom have been thoroughly discredited, and an elitest political gadly and love object of the left. I'd say you've got some real objectivity there.

  when you go out to eat or for a walk do active jw's shout insults or attack

  by topanga in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a regular thing now, whenever i go into an upscale restaurant a bunch of jw's start shouting insults and bring up things about my past.. recently i went in to a restaurant i've been dying to try on 14th street and someone on the restaurant staff was telling the other staff members all of my business from the brroklyn heights congregation.. he obviously thought i would give a damn about anything they said.

  i just relaxed and ignored them.. when i got up to use the ladies room a bunch of the sisters followed me in fortunately the bathroom was way too small for even two people.

  they are some sorry souls, i guess it was like i thought we killed her whats she doing in here?

  Yeah, but did they yell at you, or throw the odd double dipped in your direction, maybe wack you over the head with a steak sandwich or I guess a gallon of milk would be appropriate since it was Braums.

  I understand Judah Schroeder is going to law school. That's how they get the educated people they need, two sets of standards.

  Ah yes, the noble red man. They were having such a good time massacreing and eating each other before the dastardly white man got here.
