On Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath: The Jehovah’s Witnesses, Remini led a panel of ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses as they explained some of the church’s most controversial positions and practices: its belief in Armageddon, disavowal of blood transfusions, disfellowships and subjugation of women. As Remini explained at the beginning, the special stemmed from letters and social-media messages the production received, asking it to look into the denomination. “I thought Jehovah’s Witnesses were just nice people knocking on doors,” Remini said. But “We have received many letters, [saying], ‘Please look into the Jehovah’s Witnesses'” and making the connection between Scientology and Jehovah’s Witnesses, she noted. “Take Scientology, add eight million members, and you’ve got Jehovah’s Witnesses,” Lloyd Evans, a former member of the church and author of a book called The Reluctant Apostate, told her…
Following recent trends in state-of-the-art developments, from cryptocurrencies and universal basic income to biohacking and the surveillance state, transhumanism has been moved into the limelight of political discourse to reshape humanity’s future. Its also moving high gear into policy making positions. Transhumanists such as Natasha Vita-More (featured in the award-winning documentary INHUMAN) and Gabriel Rothblatt ran in elections on a futurist platform, and one to two politicians such as Giuseppe Vatinno espoused Transhumanist views, in addition to US presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan, the first to develop and promote the Transhumanist Party idea…
America has never had as many citizens who doubt the existence of God as it does today. And yet at the same time that religious affiliation is on the decline, hate crimes based on religion — and against Jews in particular — are on the rise. According to the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents jumped 57 percent in the U.S. last year, the highest number since 1994 and the biggest one-year increase they’ve ever recorded.
The next generation of biotech food is headed for the grocery aisles, and first up may be salad dressings or granola bars made with soybean oil genetically tweaked to be good for your heart. By early next year, the first foods from plants or animals that had their DNA “edited” are expected to begin selling. It’s a different technology than today’s controversial “genetically modified” foods, more like faster breeding that promises to boost nutrition, spur crop growth, and make farm animals hardier and fruits and vegetables last longer.
The biggest pain point for many parents is—you guessed it—smartphones. Should our kids own them? If so, how do we keep them from owning our kids? A typical family with mom and dad and 2 kids will spend, between monthly contracts, hardware, and apps, around three to four thousand dollars a year on smartphones. And what do they get for this significant financial investment? According to David Eaton of Axis, most parents report feeling utterly defeated by them. They are causes of frustration and worry, and they get in the way of conversation and eye contact. And they are the cause of a yelling match, whenever a parent tries to bring them under control. Do we own our smartphones? Or do they own us? It doesn’t take a PhD in social science to realize that smartphones are one of the primary pain points for modern families…
Scientists have spotted strong evidence of a super-Earth orbiting the second-closest star system to the Sun, according to new research. The evidence consists of a slight repeating change to the light from Barnard’s star, a small star 5.9 light-years away. The data suggests the presence of a cold planet at least 3.2 times heavier than Earth, orbiting at a much farther distance than expected. But its relative closeness to Earth makes it an important world that scientists may soon be able to take a picture of directly.
Greek archaeologists discovered for the first time remnants of the long-lost ancient city of Tenea, Greece’s culture ministry said this week. Having been previously documented only in ancient texts, Tenea was excavated in the southern region of Peloponnese, and the dig uncovered “proof of the existence of the ancient city,” the ministry said in a statement Tuesday. Tenea is believed to have been a city settled by Trojan prisoners permitted to build their own city after the Trojan War.
A robot on a mission to Mars to search for signs of alien life, has after years of discussion, has had its landing site selected more than four years of discussion. Due to land in 2021, the ExoMars rover will drill into the surface of the red planet to search for evidence of ancient life buried underground. The team behind the joint European-Russian project has selected a spot called Oxia Planum, which scientists think was the site of a large body of water billions of years ago.
At some point after the release of the Watchers/Titans from the abyss, the armies of the world will gather for their date with destiny at Armageddon. When Satan/Baal, the dragon of Revelation, sends Gog/Antichrist to war, his army will be comprised of demonic “warriors of Baal,” the spirits of the Rephaim/Nephilim.
