“Jesus. Apply directly to the forehead" “Buddha. Apply directly to the forehead" “Allah. Apply directly to the forehead"
No matter how many times you say it or how many times you apply it to your forehead. It’s still just a stick of wax with 1 part ingredient to 1,000,000,000,000 parts of hype.
The latest major medical swindle being offered the American public is a raucously-cracked-up product we’ve now been introduced to through a massive TV advertising campaign. It’s named, “Head On,” a small waxy stick that one rubs directly on the forehead to relieve headaches. It sells for $8. Looking into it, I found it was – great surprise! – a homeopathic “remedy.” Each .2-ounce (<6 grams!) stick contains a “12X” concentration (?) of White Bryony – a type of vine – as one of the two active ingredients. That means that the whole damn stick contains 1 part of ingredient in 1,000,000,000,000 parts of wax, or a stick contains .000,000,000,005,67 grams of "ingredient!" Since there are some 100 applications in a stick, divide that quantity by 100… An additional ingredient is potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) at a dilution of one part to a million parts of wax. Though this chemical is intensely red-orange in color, and is used as a disinfectant and as a stain for furniture, the 1:1,000,000 dilution makes the Head On product quite colorless – as well as without ingredients.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult and here's why I think so
by B_Deserter inwhen most people think of "cult" they think of the people's temple, the branch davidians, or heaven's gate.
many also want to put jehovah's witnesses, mormons, and scientologists into this group.
i don't agree with that because there is one main difference between true cults and high-control groups like jws:.

Dawg,
I have read some of your posts before. You come off as a half way intelligent person and quite the smart ass. I for one hold smart assness in somewhat high regard. I am a long time member and past president of The Smart Asses of America Club.
But, there is a time and place. Your timing for this “joke” was way off. You attempted to mask over that timing mistake (which I think you understood a while back) just makes you look stupid. I don’t think you are stupid.
But, trying to cover up your “stupid joke made at the wrong time” by calling people who may have taken offence to it, an “ass”, is making you look like an ass. I don’t think you are an ass either.
Shelby is one hell of a good person. Like Farkel, I don’t agree with her spiritual politics and think she is a nut sometimes but that doesn’t change who she is as a good person or beloved poster. Occasionally promoting her god product aside, that lady has one hell of a great heart! She loves to be a slave to that Jesus guy. So what, she’s not hurting anyone. That’s her choice. Just like not being a slave to anyone is mine and I’m guessing yours.
She, or anyone else is not an ass for possibly taking offence to your lame joke if they indeed did (and it was lame). I didn’t but that’s just me, I understand where both of you are coming from and do not take offence easily about anything.
Using your words “give me a break”. Be a man. Be nice. Think about it a while and then make a comment. Or don’t.
If you do, you are welcome to use my best excuse for saying or doing something stupid. “It’s not my fault damn it!….I was raised in a cult”!
Take care,

Shelby,
No you don’t. You have been posting on is board way to long and you are way too intelligent to “wonder” about your or anyone else’s salutation that may come off as a little different.
Most people here still hear any greeting besides hi, hello, or hey as “good morning my name is so and so and I’m out with a group of other Christians” yadda yadda yadda, would you like to buy our god products?
Come on sweetheart, you know that, do you really wonder?
Big hug and good luck with your exams,

To all,
I now remember why I didn’t start very many threads before. I felt bad if I didn’t respond to each and every person who made a comment to me. I know because of the many ramifications of the disfellowshipping issue many here have ended up with abandonment, lack of attention, and validation issues.
This is why I make my life a lot easer by prefacing the fact that I’m an asshole form the onset. That’s way if someone thinks I have ignored them and I don’t think “I feel” they are important enough to respond to, they can just say to themselves, no big deal, “he’s just an asshole” and feel better about me and themselves.
I’m going to respond to each and every one of you with JUST answers and brief comments. You will all have to go back and match up my responses to your response. My doctor told me to try and stay away from any stress and excess typing. Excess typing can kill people with MS. Honest. Look it up.
1. No I didn’t.
2. You should see me type when I’m standing up then.
3. Me too. I mean about he movie, not the MS drug. The only shots I take are in the little glass kind.
4. Yes and thanks.
5. Thanks and thanks.
6. Nice boobs sweetheart, say hi to the hubby for me.
7. I’m hang’en. Thanks.
8. Nut.
9. Left nut
10. No, that’s the other Seven006
11. Thanks and good for you
12. Good to read from you to. You are one of my favorite posters here and I also love your fries.
13. Thanks old friend, no it isn’t. Be nice to the mountain man next time you see him. He’s delicate.
14. Thanks and sometimes I just want a thick juicy steak. With A1 sauce…no some tai food ….no a fricken pizza, shit, I always do this to myself. Thanks pal.
15. Quit teasing ya tree hugging social outcast moutainman.
16. What? Aaaaaaaa what?
17. Lake Oswego.
18. I see you are still perverted. Don’t ever change.
19. Thanks, glad you liked it. It changed my life.
20. Hell ya back at’ca finger guy
21. OK
22. That one and Analyze This are two of my favorites. Fricken Greeks!
23. I though you were dead?
24. Bite me
25. Thanks ya nut. Quit serving all the time and sit down and eat something sometime.
26. Thanks. One of these days I’ll put it all in a book and sell it to you crazy people. Here is the link to the artwork. http://www.maloneillustration.com/
27. Bummer and now I can’t get away with any “oh I’m so sick” bullshit. Go away and quit stealing my sympathy! Damn sick people anyway.
28. There are always ways around that. Manly hug back at’ch.
29. Thanks….last one. Any that come after this one, pick a response, any response. Copy it and paste it with your name on it like I wrote it to you. I’m going to go watch two and a half men now.

As Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) said about Westly in the movie The Princess Bride, “He’s only mostly dead” (I love that movie). I have gotten a few inquiries over the last few months about why I am posting a little more recently. “Wasn’t I… ill, sick”? No, I’m not ill. I’m just a little health challenged. It all depends on ones perspective on whether I’m sick or not.
Some of you know I have multiple sclerosis. More specifically I have the remitting relapsing brand of multiple sclerosis. Which is a neurological disorder I got from my mommy and daddy’s mommy and daddy’s mommy and daddy and so on. It makes me feel (for free) stoned or completely drunk at times, gives me double vision (which I find both incredibly interesting and annoying at the same time). It has taken away most of the sense of touch in all my finders (which has taken away my ability to flip trough flimsy bible pages (got damn it!)) and can turn itself on and off like a 13-year-old alter boy (that’s a version of a microphone on a stick handler for the JW’s).
I thought I would post this explanation before Minimus started another VH1 channel like “where are they now” post. Even though the thread and comments made on it were thoughtful and nice, I felt like Wally and the fricken Beev 40 years later.
When I posted my “this “may be” my last post” thread over a year ago, I had just recently learned of my diagnosis and was going through one of my first “serious, and not fun at all” relapsing MS episodes. Not fully understanding my condition at the time all I knew was I felt really icky, my vision was completely flucked up, I couldn’t feel my fingers anymore (I had to type with my tongue), there was no cure for my condition, it was going to progressively get worse, and I thought I was going to die. I learned the MS would continue to destroy the myelin coating on my nerves (kind’a like a condom for my nerve endings). Thus, the kind of good-bye, explanation of my upcoming and prolonged absence post.
Since then, I have learned the advantages of a proper diet (I know, I know, ABOUT TIME, dip-shit!). I am feeling better during my “remitting” stages and they are coming less often. I tend to read this board (as well as other god product and ex-cult member boards (very interesting stuff as far as similarities in cult mind programming and the psychological dynamics after leaving their cult goes).
This board has grown so much since I quit being active a year ago, I don’t seem to know anybody anymore. A lot of old posters have moved on or out, gotten married or are getting married died and were resurrected already and some me just blew a fuse. Some seemed to have almost completely changed their views on the whole god product issue or have bought into a whole new product line hook, line, and sinker.
I have noticed some of the old lurkers, now, new posters, seem to get the training wheels taken off of their thinking caps a little quicker then before and have reached the “holy shit” factor of total realization a lot sooner. All in all it looks like there has not been much that has really changed in the last year.
The one thing that has not (and will never) change is the Pavlovian responses and comments given and made by the current JW’s who come here. It’s a good thing they don’t really post on apostate message boards, rationalize everything they do and think or recognize they are living any kind of double life. The sun would just stop revolving around the earth if they changed. After all, the last person to realize someone is in a cult, is … someone who is in a cult.
I think I just might post a little more when I’m in remission like this. Hell, I’m not dead yet, only just mostly dead. I might even start a topic or two down the road. This could be a little fun.
Take care,
Dave
PS: I have been told, heard, and read about ALL the miracle cures for MS from bee sting therapy to Himalayan Gogi Juice. So, even though I appreciate peoples concern and caring comments, remember, I am one hell of a researcher and reader so save me from looking like an asshole by my not responding to anyone’s magical cure suggestions. Just please except that I “all ready know” I’m an asshole and the stupid fruits and vegetable thing seem to make me feel a lot better. Like Armageddon, the cure for MS is right around the corner. They have been saying that for years and I believe it god damn it! -

“Blue Ax, but then everyone knows I'm a freak!”
Doug, “define everyone.” I for one never tough you were a freak. Just a lot more in tuned to the average ex-cult member’s psyche and having an incredible ability to have them all “apply you directly to their forehead”. And…maybe just a little bit insecure, at times. But who in the hell isn’t, at times?
This little game is just another example of people using a more in-depth understanding how the human mind works and using that understanding to their advantage to amaze and impress the masses with mind tricks. It’s kind of like religion, smoke and mirrors for the minds of good hearted people.
You are not the elephant man so stop thinking you are. You are “the Farker” superhero to all the children, act like it!

Like the JW’s not everything is as simple and Disneylandish as it seems from the outwardly impression.
Their whole highly programmed grasp on spirituality, religion, and reality is based on the writings of the fairly illiterate con man and pedophile Joseph Smith. Just because he “married” girls who were 14 and 16 years old doesn’t make his lust for pubescent sex anymore acceptable. The Mormon leaders just manipulate the minds of their followers by defining and redefining what “acceptable” is, so what ever their leaders want or lust for, automatically becomes acceptable (just like the JW’s). They make up the rules as they go along just like the JW’s do and for the same reason “profits for their prophets”.
Their belief of the large celestial family sure comes in handy during their 10% tithing collection time. The larger the family, the larger amount of god tax is collected in the church coffers. Mormons have to pay government taxes as well as church taxes. If they don’t give a little of it back in the form of community welfare and “fun for the whole family” entertainment and recreation, then the rank and file Mormons get a little suspicious and pissy.
It’s more of a “look at all our happy members “big Osmond brothers smiles” approach but it’s still a mind control programming technique. The JW’s approach is telling their members “you are the happiest people on the earth” and then they all repeat “We are the happiest people on earth”. Not that they all believe it but because they were programmed to believe it, and then programmed to repeat it and then convince themselves they are.
The JW’s take a little more “scared straight” and just “shut up and do what you are told” approach. The JW programming has death at Armageddon without the possibility of parole / resurrection scare if you don ‘t believe us. Where the Mormons are programmed to believe that life is an never ending ride on the “it’s a small world after all” ride at Disneyland.
Either way they are both great examples of cult mind control used on the good hearted botched and bungled. The ones being controlled simply have the option of a happy “looking” deception by Barney he purple dinosaur or the scared straight fearful deception by Attila the Hun.
