LOL
I'm glad someone's liking it.
I've gotten to level 14. But usually it's 12 am by the time I get that far and I'm too tired to see where the ball is going LOL
That website has a gem game as well. It's easy but fun. Basically get 3 or more gems of the same color in a row horizontal or vertical.

i have tried to be an atheist- honestly, i have really tried.

i have most of dawkins books and many others.

i completely agree there has to be some evolution and obviously the fossil record in the grand canyon plus erosion shows it must be at least 600 million years old.

Sooooo if it claims to be from God and you DON'T like what it says it must not be from God? Whatever floats your boat.
?? Huh??
And I said that where?
Assume nothing.

YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER BOOK THAT TELLS US ALL WE NEED TO KNOW TO LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE AND PEACE WITH ALL, THAT ALSO CLAIMS TO BE FROM GOD!

i was just curious---.

i assume that there are active jws that visit here.. any idea on the percent that the board has?

does it just seem to be a very few or is it a substantial number?.

WHY ARE ROSALEE AND RENIAA HERE?????!!!!!
Who are we to say they shouldn't be?
Isn't one of the reasons we left the borg was to be out of an environment where we had no freedom to talk about what was on our mind? Haven't some been kicked out for speaking their minds?
Do we really want to foster that kind of environment here? One where only one opinion is acceptable and all others should be silenced?
I have had people here tell me before it's better that they're here. Because the conversations that develop between them and the people here can often speak more than what we do alone.
Perhaps they do at times dance around the issue. So what? I see it. You see it. And Allllll the other people in net world who are looking for information can see it too
And if they are willing to stay.....heh, perhaps Simon~~Peter~~'s board will plant a little seed

Reni: I'm in a really bad mood tonight and your response really just perked me up.
I have a few other things to say, but honestly, I'm tired right now. It's been a long day and my brain is sort of wired for er not niceness :)
But I will say this:
I am GLAD you are here.
I am glad because we live in a world where we build walls. I would rather have you and Rosalee here discussing whatever.
I hope that for the time that JWD is online, you remain, as does Rosalee.
have a great night :)

Belief in God means there is belief in the Bible.
Does it?
I have to disagree.
Belief in God does not equal belief in the bible. It depends on Which God you believe in, worship etc. A person who believes in say Zeus isn't going to believe in the Bible, and therefore would not believe in the Devil.

I don't think it's a matter of trying to be an atheist.
It's more of a gradual letting go of God, until one day someone makes mention of God and there is simple reaction of "Nope, I don't believe that." And in the same way that you at one time felt with every fiber of your being that Jehovah was real, you now feel, believe that the opposite is true.
That sense of struggle has come to pass and life is just good without belief.
So perhaps you don't need to try. Just continue doing what you are doing and things will take something of a natural course.
