Belief and experience in religion
by Markfromcali inhave you ever noticed how you have belief and experience in different proportions when it comes to religion?
on the one hand you might have the fundy that just crams every experience into the interpretation of a static belief system, and on the other you have the typical new age kind of mindset where every kind of belief is conjured up to support your experience.
for those who have seen the movie office space, remember the game "jump to conclusions"?

Abraham's Sacrifice
by Aalena ini'm taking this philosophy class(oh no worldy wisdom) and the instructer mentioned how it always bothered him how abraham's god(yaweh or jehovah to us) had put him through the ordeal of even asking him to sacrifice his son.
i identified with this because it's something that always bothered me as well.
i know it was supposedly just a "test" but to me it doesn't seem like something jehovah would ever do when taking into consideration his characteristics outlined in the bible.

Continuum, Consciousness, Being
by onacruse in.
matter exists.. matter does not disappear from the universe; it transforms, at times, but in some form or other (energy) it continues to exist.. so what is "consciousness"?
it also exists (and we are individually proof of that fact).. can our personal "consciousness" cease to exist?

Speaking of Shunning
by North Girl infor those who don't know me i've never been jw but am interesting in understanding.
anyways, i was wondering when you were a practicing jw and you had to shun people, deep down how did you feel?

by Agent 1 of 1 inhow does the society view software or media that seems to be from the devil?
if i'm watching a satanic ritual file downloaded from a web site, is that file demonized?
