Does God Really Care?
by Undecided ini'm wondering about god lately.
is he really in touch with the earth at all?
how much trouble would it be for him to bring a rain in colorado to stop the fires and save the houses of those people?

Your View On Capital Punishment
by Dutchie inwe all know the bible's view on capital punishment.
in fact, in the 1969 edition of aid to bible understanding, the author notes the following: .
"the value of life is considered so sacred by god that the blood of a murdered person is viewed by him as defiling the earth and such defilement can be cleansed only by shedding the blood of the murdered.

More Buddhists than baptists (and Jws)
by singsongboi inthe results of australia's last census were released yesterday:.
the figures indicated a continuing decline in bible based religions, especially the anglicans and the uniting church.. and most spectacular was the growth of those who said they were buddhists.
at the last census (1996) just under 200,000 identified as buddhists.. now, 360,000 say they follow buddha compared to 310,000 who claim to be baptists.. and interestingly, there were 83,993 jews, which contrasts with 95,473 hindus.. islam had 281,578 followers.. the jws- well!

Clearing Things Up
by mindfield inno, this isn't another childish photoshop prank.. in the past day(s), probably many of you have noticed the facility that i had to lash out unnecessarily at other people.
i've insulted people who came to support me, i've embarassed myself, gone into arguments that i couldn't win, made a pretty flagrant face-about, and generally, made an ass of myself.
and for that i'm sorry.. to tell the truth, the last day (s) has/ve been a nightmare of sorts.

A DARK DAY INDEED
by Incense_and_Peppermints inwhen we put the fellings and whims of a few disgruntled "active" jehovah's witnesses who come to these boards before the intense feelings, thoughtful commentary or adult playfulness of the majority of posters here - ex witnesses, so-called apostates, etc.
don't call me jaded or an advocate of anarchy or harm to my fellow man just because i believe in freedom of expression.
i am a good kind loving person!
