Why are atheists so intent on scorning "believers"?
by Chariklo inuntil recently, i had never encountered this word "believers" used as it is being used on this board, to describe pejoratively a group of people.
it's not clear to me whether they scorn all who have a faith of some sort.
do they include buddhists, hindus, followers of the baha'i faith, followers of the cargo cult, native americans along with christians, or is it just christians who are honoured with this epithet?.

Christ's 'silence' on slavery.
by tec inone of the accusations against christ that some people make to me from time to time is that christ never spoke out against slavery, and so he must condone it.. i would submit that slavery (the forcible enslaving of your fellow man)... is not the root problem.
it is merely a symptom of the root problem.
christ came to deal with the root.

HOW to get Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth, etc.
by EndofMysteries inokay i thought i'd make an official thread on this since it's being talked about a lot lately.
this is the truth taught in the bible about getting holy spirit and about if there are really human leaders or not.
i'll quote all from the nwt for the benefit for jw lurkers, the message is not lost and everyone can check their own translations.

"My sheep hear my voice."
by tec inpeace to you!.
lately there have been some accusations, allegations, concerns, and questions regarding how i hear our lord.
so i thought i would take a moment to nip this one in the bud, rather than have my words twisted further than what they have been.

Look who's coming to dinner...
by mrsjones5 insince i have recently received all of my cooking stuff out of storage from indiana i decided i wanted to do something i haven't done in a long while: cook a big thanksgiving feast and invite family and dear friends.
the friends won't be a problem, it's the family that mostlikely won't show.
i've asked my brother who lives fairly close and he said he didn't know because he and his wife would be coming home for a trip two days before.

Recovery
by wha happened? insome time ago, i was finally sick and tired of being sick and tired, so i quit drinking.
i have 27 months without a drop and things are much much better.
i started to slack off on the meetings and my excuse was always, i'm better so the gap between meetings isn't as big a deal.
