Religion is the by product of FEAR.
Of DEATH.
lucius annaeus seneca, roman statesman, 4bc - 65ad: "religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.".
this comes to mind as trump has been throwing the word "god" around.
there are a lot of outwardly religious people in this government.. benjamin franklin: "the way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason.".

i copied the following two items from jw dot orgs site entitled “dates of prophetic significance” at site below:.

As we saw in Chapter 2, he did an inspection and a cleansing work from 1914 to early 1919. (Mal. 3:1-4) Then, in 1919, he appointed the faithful slave to take the lead among his followers. (Matt. 24:45) Especially from that time onward, that slave began dispensing spiritual food—by means of convention discourses and printed "

" ...denounce all sorts of religious extremism..."
Are these guys for real. Effing deluded bastards practice a religion that gets most of its fanaticism from desert dwellers who perished more than 4000 years ago, predict fantasies that never materialize, deal in lies ,half truths and fabricated interpretations of a book that is full of contradictions, practice negative reinforcement to keep their slaves in line and have the kahunas to claim they don't practice religious extremism.
Effing disease_brained idiots !
i was working today and my brain was working in circles like it often does and i started wondering about what i was always told about people like methuselah in bible times, and their incredibly claims of longevity.
i've tried researching things but have a hard time getting through all of the bible thumpers to some real evidence, and figured that some here may be more informed or have done the research previously.
so, did people really live longer way back when?
Meth_use_lah
That's how the writer got the name. Hallucegenically speaking!!!
With lah standing for "laughing _ my_ ass_ high" .
While he COOKS up the yarn!!!!
first of all, sorry if i cannot correctly express the original expression used in my native language to ask for the "spiritual condition".. a few years ago some member of the family asks my wife directly how is her "spiritual health" (for me it's one of the many strange vocabulary used by jw like "the slave says...").
she was catched by surprise with the direct question and says that everything is ok... and luckily someone call them for lunch.. my question is: do you have any good answers for that question?
you can be ironic/use some humor because the question is a little bit anecdotical .
Oh!I'm drinking regularly. Liver seems good. Feel clean and hygenic.Awash with alchohol can't keep me more purified bro. I feel wonderfully spiritualized. Spiritual! Spirit annointed!! Spirited for another drink. Sorry yu can't join me. I don't drink with leeches and parasitic bacteria. Go take your disease somewhere else germ!!!
jehovah’s witnesses will seek to overturn the apex court’s order .
"Our patriotism can never be in doubt."
These bastards do nothing for the poor in that country. They won't fight in wars to defend their country. They won't respect the countries laws if it clashes with their I'll founded cultic doctrines . They won't respect the national flag or show patriotic pride by singing the National Anthem.How the fcuk do they come up with being "patriotic"? Are they trying to brainwash the judicial system of that country too? Hell Indian Judiciary! Wake up to the fact that these are parasites in every country they exist in. Throw their concocted doctrines out of court and let them do follow the laws of the country like everyone else.!!!
romans 13 : 1-7 "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities" etc,"the existing authourities stand placed in their relative positions by god" 2".therefore he who opposers the authourity has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ,those who have taken a stand against it will recieve judgement to themselves "etc,etc,.."..to him who calls for honour such honour.".
isnt this plainly stating that christians should be supporting and playing along with the governments of this sytem of things ?
that it is in fact an arrangement of god ?
Eve sinned and got a few hundred years to live. Adam did the same and got 800 odd. The perpetrator gets to carry on living AND is given the rulership of the world. Logic: "We cannot understand The Hobos logic we haven't yet been able to understand the functioning of our own bodies ...in his own time he will make all things clear""..
Delusional comfort for a deluded mass hypnotized by a deluded cult of self righteous deluded leaders!
i am agnostic.
i will count how many agnostics, atheists and christians that are reading this forum regularly.
please answer my question.
I is who I is...
N don yu bloody well forget it!
Fucj this philosophical search for identities. Gee Wiz. Got me a bottle of Rye !

continual rain, at long last, has ended another typically hot and dry summer, one that gave every appearance of extending far into a protracted indian summer.
yet, october was unusually wet.
this thanksgiving week promises daily rain.. an unforeseen sadness is creeping gradually, insidiously into the fabric of my life.
Into each life
A little rain must fall...
Weaving it's tapestry
On a parched sky
Melodious threads of wet
Garnish the green
Moisten the brown
And brush the earth
With an impressionist's touch
Till colors run from every pore
Banishing the decadence
that threatened to engulf
Our very soul
Gladdening the happiness
With soft hues of green violet and burgundy
Amidst tassels of gold and crimson...
Your sadness will pass
When she waves her rainbow...
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Sorrow, pain,confusion or Trump......
Not even
Cold November rain....
