Do you see an equivalency here between the Word of God and the word of the Anointed?
by I_love_Jeff inis this commandment, let us cover our territory four times in six months, really as binding as when jehovah said to the logos in gen.1:26 let us make man in our image?.
taken from the watchtower, july 1, 1943 page 204-206, righteous requirements:.
the lord breaks down our organization instructions further and makes them more practicable by further instructing us through his faithful and wise servant.

Sam Harris' $20,000 Challenge - The Moral Landscape
by cofty inin his book, "the moral landscape" sam harris argues that you can in fact get "an ought from an is".. the split between facts and values is an illusion.. he challenges the assumption that science has nothing to say about objective morality, which he defines as our thinking about the well-being of conscious creatures.. personally i found his book to be compelling; all the arguments against it that i have read so far are based on misunderstandings of his thesis.
i hve quoted harris a couple of times when he said to his critics that he didn't want to be wrong any longer than necessary.
in that spirit he has offered $10,000 to anybody who can refute the central argument of his book in 1000 words or less.

Last night the one cool elder calls me
by confusedandalone ini figured he was going to arrange the committee and try to get me kicked out after the whole "big pile of books" labelled "take this shit".. well his call made me realize that more and more people ... elders included no longer take this religion seriously.
after he told me he heard what happened he actually laughed and said i would never expect that.
he then told me that it is apparent that i no longer want to be connected to the organization.
