IF YOU COULD BE GOD FOR A DAY.......what would you do?
by Terry inokay, here is your chance to straighten out the entire universe!
just like in the jim carrey movie, bruce almighty, you will be given god's job for a day.
you can control everything, though, unlike him; there is no limit to your power.

Why Preaching From House to House Is a WASTE and a SCAM!
by minimus inlogic tells us that the "preaching work" is alot to do about nothing.
knocking on doors when no one is home is a stupid waste of time!
the odds of finding a bible study that gets baptized after leaving a person a tract or magazine has got to be ridiculously low.

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).

LIGHTNING BOLT from Gawd! Paul's turnaround?
by Terry inlast night in bed listening to the terrible electric storm that raged outside i was thinking of a local football player who had been struck by lightning while jogging on the school track.
i then had what they call an epiphany.. it became clear to me that, perhaps, paul had been struck by lightning on the road to damascus and partially blinded and perhaps sustained a permanent infirmity.. further, being struck by lightning would be taken as a sign from god that he needed to reassess his course in life.
he was a thug doing enforcement for the high priest against the upstart christian sect.

One Devastating Bible Passage
by Farkel ini used the following quote from mark 9:38-40 in another thread, but thought it might be worthy to have people comment about it in its own thread: .
"john said to him: "teacher, we saw a certain man expeling demons by the use of your name and we tried to prevent him, because he was not accompanying us.
but jesus said: "do not try to prevent him, for there is no one that will do a powerful work on the basis of my name that will quickly be able to revile me, for he that is not against us is for us.

Only possible things happen. Is free choice an illusion?
by Terry inthings are what they are.. everything acts according to its nature.. nothing escapes its own nature.. we cannot be other than what we are and our "choices" follow our nature.. consequently, can we not say correctly that free choice is merely our ignorance of the fact that all our actions and choices are predetermined by our nature?.
example: if i offer you dog piss or a dove bar is that really a choice?.
only possible things happen.
