Scary Books
by Jim_TX inthis past saturday, my wife and i went shopping in san marcos at the factory outlet mall.
we had a very pleasant day there, and afterwards went for a late lunch.. after lunch, we went to a local half-price books store where she went looking for novels by authors that she likes to read.
i went looking through the books too, for some book that might catch my eye.. in one section of books, way up high - in fact, it was on the very top shelf which was about seven or eight feet up, i spotted about 6 bound volumes of the wts watchtower & awake.

The Watchtower Corporation's Early Business Model
by frankiespeakin in"dupe their readers with scary stories about a vengeful deity, then enlist them into service of selling corporation's printed material for free under the threats of thier own destruction if they neglect selling oportunity of a lifetime, rewards enclude everlasting life sitting on thrones in heaven perhaps even a ringside seat next to mister faithful and discreet himself chucky russell".
sound about right don't it.
hook the reader into thinking he's got to give it his all and go out and sell these magazine in a whole souled fashion or else he will loose god's favor for being a slacker, as caleb's mom told her son:" god loves you(conditionally) if you obey him; and get rid of that plastic magic toy that makes jehovah get all sad and stuff".. russell was a self-righteous religious fanatic business man who went from the haberdashery business, to printing sermons and such, that hooked the poor and ignorant into serving him as the faithful slave/steward and selling his books and magazines, and everything he printed had a biased slant which would keep the business going even after he died.. kind of but not exactly a pyramind scheme;.

Judge to rule on whether yoga tied to religion
by skeeter1 injudge to rule on whether yoga tied to religion julie watson 4 hours agoeducationsocietysan diego (ap) a judge is expected to issue a ruling monday on whether yoga is a religious practice that shouldn't be allowed to be taught in public schools.an attorney representing a family bent out of shape over the public school program in the beach city of encinitas filed a lawsuit in february to stop the district-wide classes.
in the lawsuit filed in san diego superior court, attorney dean broyles argued that the twice weekly, 30-minute classes are inherently religious, in violation of the separation between church and state.. judge john s. meyer is expected to issue his ruling in the case that went to trial.. the encinitas union school district is believed to be the first in the country to have full-time yoga teachers at every one of its schools.
the lessons are funded by a $533,000, three-year grant from the jois foundation, a nonprofit group that promotes asthanga yoga.. the plaintiffs are stephen and jennifer sedlock and their children, who are students in the district.. superintendent timothy b. baird said since the district started the classes at its nine schools in january, teachers and parents have noticed students are calmer, using the breathing practices to release stress before tests.. "we're not teaching religion," he told the associated press.

Bait and switch at baptism
by Narcissistic Supply inbait and switch at baptism may be appalling to some but its the ticket to prosperity for the publishing company.it blows my mind that people will fall victim to a corporation that doesnt even exist in most states.. they can drag you in to superior court for breach of contract if you dont abide by their bait and switch at baptism????
did you promise to pay them any money when they put your head under water and tricked you????.
no i dont think so!!!
