	Why Not Join the Unitarians? - by Robin Alpern
		Friends convinced me to shun empty forms, to dedicate myself to living as close as possible to the quick of life.
		Many Friends are broken, because traditional beliefs don't speak to their hearts, and they feel alienated from the Society.
		One of the finest characteristics of Friends is that we are on a religious quest, not a religious path.

	Looking for the Roots of 'False Memories'
		To find out what makes a list likely to generate a false memory, he and his colleagues used multiple regression analysis to compare 55 lists, some of which they found elicited high rates of false memories and others they found elicited low rates of false memories.
		In addition, false memories--the word sleep in our example--appear to be activated by true experiences that are strongly associated with the false memory-as the words in the sleep list are associated with the word sleep.
		Participants who said all the words on a list aloud were able to reduce their false recognition of words by half, as compared with participants who heard and saw the words.

	Friends (Quakers) and Fragrances
		Encounters with other Friends may take place as part of a traveling ministry, a weekend trip to a Quaker retreat center or library, or simply a visit when passing through a town.
		It is of some help to ask already damaged Friends what products typically make them ill. But keep in mind that such an individual cannot predict all brands that may cause a severe reaction in herself or himself, let alone in another person.
		I'm hoping to discover Friends' meetinghouses, churches, libraries, campuses, retreat centers, and other Quaker facilities that have made themselves fragrance-free.

		Perhaps it would be better reserved for a special case of false friends: words which, in addition to being similar in two languages, have the same origin but different meaning, due to differences in changes of semantics.
		There are some word pairs which could be regarded as "false friends" in the sense that a Finnish word has more restricted meaning than its "friend" in English.
		I became convinced that false friends actually cause a lot of problems to Finns trying to learn and use English.

		All of the entries in the list are fabrications: a search for news stories about each of these cases failed to turn up anything, as did a search for each law case.
		This detail was included to give the mailing credibility in the eyes of those who received it: if a law firm had pulled this list together to build grassroots support for its tort reform program, then it went without saying a pack of lawyers had properly researched each item and were guaranteeing the information provided.
		Speaking about implied credibility, we note that the "outrageous lawsuits" list has made it into the newspapers at times, which only works to add to the perception that the information given in it is reliable.

	David Corn Corrects Victoria Toensing's False Testimony to Congress -- The ITT List
		Valerie Wilson was known to friends as an energy analyst for a private firm.

	Tobacco False Friends
		In March 1998, a coalition of more than 40 agricultural, grower, religious, and public health organizations (including the sponsors of this report) released the Core Principles, which outlined shared goals pertaining both to reducing smoking among youth and to assisting U.S. growers and their communities.
		Today, growers and public health organizations are actively working together in the tobacco states to direct tobacco settlement funds both to reduce tobacco use and to provide transitional aid to growers and tobacco-dependent communities.
		The difficulties facing U.S. tobacco growers are great, and their traditional allies, the U.S. cigarette companies, have gone from friend to virtual foe.

	List of False Dates Set by the JW's Watchtower
		The disappointment of 1844 is briefly recorded in the parable, by the statement that 'the Bridegroom tarried' - i.e., he seemed to the expectant ones to tarry.
		And the confusion and darkness experienced by all, and the many false and visionary views entered into by some who were there disappointed, are shown in the parable by the statement: 'While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.' Yea, and in their darkness and slumber many of them dreamed strange, unreasonable things.
		We have received numerous letters from the colored friends, some claiming that it is not right to make a difference, others indignantly and bitterly denouncing us as enemies of the colored people.
