The concept of sin?
by El blanko inok, here is one that jabs into my mind occasionally.
the concept of 'sin' and the fallen state of man is rather profound and used to blow my mind, especially when paul broke down the concept when writing about the struggle with the fleshly state.
i could relate to those words and it was originally one of the main reasons i moved towards the scriptures (that, and the carrot of living forever of course

Fault in human DNA strand?
by El blanko inhi there - i'm sorry if this is off topic slightly, but i need information.. i am not learned in this area of science and wondered if it is true that there is a fault within human dna that science assumes is the reason we break down and die and are unable to explain.. forgive my ignorance here.
this question spins off from a conversation i had this afternoon with an ex-jw who wishes to get back to the kingdom hall and was using this argument to present his ideas to me.
i told him that i was not aware of this particular area of study but would look into it for him.. i am assuming that he read this in an awake article maybe?.

Into the mystic (an experience).
by El blanko inthe following i wrote to a friend this morning and doctored slightly for this forum.
can any of you relate to this kind of mystical experience and if you would be kind enough, would you mind me quoting any experiences listed to my friend?
please be aware that the letter uses language to detach me away from the watchtower (thus church, instead of congregation etc).

The Tuning Fork
by El blanko inrobert and ben were raised in a fundamental christian environment and held a firm belief in the existence of satan.
any supernatural occurrence outside of their understanding would be placed at satan?s door, as a manifestation of evil.
the cynic may say that satan formed the archetype of their ignorance, yet to these friends he was the spiritual architect creating the fabric of this, our reality.

How great the wind ..!
by El blanko ini sat yesterday with two friends having a drink on the banks of the river severn.
it was a grey overcast day, a slight breeze, but beautiful all the same.
one of my drinking buddies pointed out that the trees were moving, the grass was moving and the water was rippling and he observed how his mind was enriched by the simply gesture of nature in all it's animated glory.
