1874, 1914 and 1943
by TD ina persistent meme that floats around on jw related internet forums holds that christ's second coming was moved forward 40 years (i.e.
from 1874 to 1914) in the year 1943.
(this appears to be based primarily on a statment in the book god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached on page 209 and to a lesser degree, a footnote at the bottom of page 133 of the publication jehovah's witnesses - proclaimers of god's kingdom.).

Aspartame apparently makes my guts ache...
by TD ini was experiencing mild abdominal pain in the evenings and just on a whim, tried eliminating diet soda and other drinks sweetened with aspartame.. i don't drink a lot of soda, but when i do, i tried mexican coca-cola sweetened with old fashioned cane sugar instead.
--no more pain.
but now i'm climbing the wall with cravings.

On Human Evolution
by TD init's a subject that comes up fairly often here (understandably) and very strong opinions are expressed.
much of the discussion seems to be counterproductive.. i'd like to propose a different approach.
we all know what each other's conclusions are (or at least we should by now).

You too can live like the Judge
by TD infor only $2.99 you can own a yellow 1930's cadillac cabriolet, the envy of every rich playboy in hollywood at the time:.
of course at 1/64 scale, this one's a little small.
if you want something with a little more substance, i guess you're going to have to wrangle control of an entire religion and convince people to throw money at you....

To My Fellow Skeptics
