Did Jesus sacrifice really mean anything?

by highdose in

suspending for a minute the realisation that it never happened and instead looking at it as a beliver would.... jesus had to endure a painful death, yes.

but he knew that he would only be dead for three days and that afterwards he would get reserected and be able to mind f**k around with those who had put him to death.

and then he would live for ever in a brand new body!

I think if he comes out of his tomb and sees his shadow we get another month of winter, something like that.

Gave 5 JW's Something to Think About at a Starbucks Today

i was having coffee at a starbucks located in a supermarket chain in one of the towns i work in my business .

while sitting there doing paperwork , what looked like 3 elders on their field service break sat at a table no more than 4 feet from me .

after eavesdropping it was obvious they were elders as they were talking about the c.o.

You never know. Many know in their hearts that shunning is inhuman but can't make the disconnect. Perhaps the simple attempt to draw attention to how wrong the "go to your room" analogy is may have a chisel effect on the ediface of ignorance. Keep it up.

I don't see Jesus. I see some slow motion hip hop preacher. If there's a man between you and God speaking for God you have religion. He doesn't see that by opening his mouth he's a de facto religion. For this reason I don't care to hear preaching from anyone who has a "personal relationship" with Jesus. Just more fundy poop.

SMART phones: I got my first iPhone

by Terry in

for my birthday, my daughter (who works for apple) got me an iphone.. yes, i was using an old motorola flip-phone until now...like a geriatric captain kirk.. and i wondered why people had been giving me those strange looks before.... .

anyway, imagine my reaction to the mammoth technology contained in an iphone.. talk about a miracle, this qualifies.. i'm particularly impressed by the onboard gps.

i can type in a destination and the phone already knows exactly where i am and will plot a destination map onscreen.

I've got a 3G handmedown and I'm in love with it. I'm always a little behind but I don't care. This thing is a gas. I use the card from my gophone in it and prepay for three months at a time. I use the wifi for the net and there's enough free wifi these days I don't need a data plan. Too funny. Love Words with friends though its making me insane....

Who owns the really nice house and property on Watchtower Farms?

by bottleofwater in

i remember years ago how back when i was in the religion, one of the brothers that i knew showed me a picture of a really, really nice looking house at watchtower farms and said that one of the governing body owns it.

there were pictures of a really big backyard, almost like a park in size.

i remember thinking to myself (even back then), that "wow this guy's already got his paradise".. does anyone know anything about this house?

It it was Wallkill there was a home that served as a residence for those who handled the cattle. They had their own place and it housed about 5. It was seldom a revolving door. I knew of someone who lived there and rode horseback.

Actually I hate Jesus he hasn't done a damned thing to stop suffering (Cause he's dead) but at least religion stands up and slaughters religion out in the open.

A fascinating interview conducted by Mike Wallace in 1958

in 1958 mike wallace conducted a most fascinating televised interview with mortimer j. adler the philosopher and educator, author behind the encyclopedia brittanica's great books and great ideas series.. the discussion is amazingly prescient of today's severe conflict between conservatives and liberals and their argument over the.

unfairness and injustice of capitalism.. in this interview adler actually predicts that in 50 years (2008) the economy would collapse if steps were not immediately taken to.

address the drift by our government toward wrong policy.. .

This sort of conversation is so far over people's heads these days I think most people would hear it the same way they see an advanced math problem. The modern world is dumbed down by addiction to "things" that they can't see the theories behind thier condition.
