  Cancer healing—using emotions

  by abiather in

  [i have some posting problems from my computerreply portion gets hung, hence giving it here].

  when i posted the cancer healingusing emotions, it is given as just a link with no recommendation, nor with any comments from me.

  it is not presented as a sure cure for the cancer-patient.

  Stop making excuses.

  Your recommendation and comment was the topic title "Cancer healing—using emotions (watch this video)" and you should take responsibility for that rather than for the shame faced prancing around you are engaged in now.

  Pick your belief system

  i think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.

  one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.

  i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.

  IMO this thread should be removed and you should be banned. Offering this type of false hope to people suffering from cancer is sickening and you should be ashamed.

  You have crossed the line.

  Methane-Based Life Forms Could Exist on Titan (the giant moon of Saturn), say Scientists

  by abiather in

  liquid water is a requirement for life on earth.

  but in other, much colder worlds, life might exist beyond the bounds of water-based chemistry.

  cornell chemical engineers and astronomers offer a template for life that could thrive in a harsh, cold world specifically titan, the giant moon of saturn.

  abiather : The only answer we can give to them is that ‘you take up your own moon-mission.’

  Here is a different answer...

  So are you admitting?:

  • Your view on what happens during meditation is unprovable and potentially just an hallucination?
  • You think you are connected to god, but perhaps you are in fact just engaged in a kind of spiritual masturbation in your own head?
  • Your view on meditation is no more valid that others' that practise.
  • What is 'true' does really matter and providing evidence for your beliefs is unimportant.

  i have nearly finished writing my 'apostate' book, which i will soon be publishing as a free e-book.

  here is an excerpt from it on the subject of evolution and the misconceptions about it held by jws.

  sorry it's a bit long, but i would appreciate any feedback.

  Your comment does not actually make sense.

  
  

  What the hell is a 'macro reason'?

  
  

  ‘One species is not able to evolve into another species. However, one speicies could evolve into two species’—this is what you both say!

  Who say's that above?

  
  

  Again what would stop speciation?

  This is not my experience (not interpretation of meditation). This is true for me because when I go to meditation, I may not always know which quality I am lacking in, but during the meditation an equalization would naturally take place—like water finding its own level which means pipe is connected to a water source.

  This does not make sense? I ask how do you know that your interpretation of what is happening when you meditate is true? How can you tell your experiences are not dream-like hallucination?

  When you go to meditate, you have to empty yourself of all your prejudices, your religious views and your own view of God. Otherwise you are limiting yourself, and you never get connected to the whole which means different views, different experiences.

  This does not answer the question. Others that meditate do not share your views... some do not believe they are connected to a 'god' in any way... are you saying they are wrong, or perhaps they are not doing 'it' right?

  Abiather, how do you know your interpretation of mediation is true? Personal revelation? Others that meditate do not necessarily share your views, are they wrong?

  Well put abiather. However since Darwin's time things have not stood still.

  I am sure you will be interested in learning about some examples of speciation... you could try here or here or really you could just google it!

  Are suggesting speciation cannot happen? Considering the fact that we understand that DNA is not perfectly copied between generations, surely an animal population separated by geography for long periods of time may drift apart and become different species? It would be interesting to see some evidence of a mechanism that would stop this happening, do you have any ideas on this?
