Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?
by KateWild ini do not think god is a'morphic.
god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.
there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

News from Wooville
by Hortensia inhad a nice long conversation with my "spiritual" neighbor, a little old lady who believes everything she hears.
she was telling me about emotional healing which you do with a chart that tells you what your emotions mean and how to heal them.
it wasn't very clear, i still don't understand what the treatment part of it is, and she couldn't explain it.

What Drew You To The Witnesses?
by minimus ini did believe for the first 30 years of my life that they had been picked by jehovah god to dispense the truth as best as imperfect humans could.
then, everything became questionable.
i had read anti jw books in the past but franz's books really got to me but not immediately.

An Alternative To Atheism and Theism?
by metatron inhttp://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-consciousness-universal.
i was stunned to see this article come from sciam.
i see it as largely consistent with my belief in pantheism.. i understand that some might quibble with my describing it as an alternative to atheism or theism, in regard to technical definitions of those terms but , at least, i see it as an alternative to what sort of thought is often associated with those words.. interesting stuff.

Do you think JWs know what apostates really are?
by KateWild inmy friend was slagging off one of my other friends saying they have been known to say apotate things.
she does apostate things herself without realising it.
she meant well because she fears the word apostate as i once did, but she openly says to me my jc was lacking in holy spirit.. she doesn't have a clue what apostacy really is she just wants me not to mix with ones who have been known said "apostate things".

TTATT family blow out
by redvip2000 infor those of you who have a minute to read this, here is a report from my family trip.. i was in florida for the holidays visiting my older sister and family, along with my parents which were also visiting.. although i've had conversations with my mother about the organization, my sister and her family had no idea of my position in regards to the (un)truth - perhaps because we live far away from each other.
i knew the day was coming.... on my second day there, the whole family was sitting around bs-ing about different stuff, and as usual my mother starts with the "world is getting worse by the day" conversation, followed by approving nods and smart remarks from the rest of the family.
i then politely told them that this was not true, that in fact the world has never been better.
