Self Deceit and Faith.
by hillary_step inthis thread is inspired by a comment made on another thread, but i thought it would make an interesting discussion.. self deceit is described as a "misconception that is favorable to the person who holds it".
my premise is that faith is a form of self-deceit - lying to oneself.. so, i would ask of the "faithful" the following questions and would request that they be read carefully to ensure no that there is no misunderstanding of purpose.. 1) in what way is faith not self-deception?.
2) is a person who has faith in a god that you do not believe in, say for example siva, practicing a form of self-deception?.

Spyware ticks me off
by dinah inthough i'd post something with nothing to do with our latest scandals.. my virus software popped up this morning, and my puter is full of spy-ware.
so i'll be spending the rest of the day cleaning crap out.
i checked the internet explorer history, all i found that was suspicious were a couple of game sites my son visited yesterday, and my daughter was looking around on ebay.. these people should have their eyeballs plucked out and shoved up their rear end, imho.

Tree of life identified as the female Cannabis plant
by Ronald ingenesis 3:22&23 says god put the man out of the garden lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live for ever.
cannabis seed is the most nourishing human food known to science.
there are good reasons to conclude that the tree of knowledge of good and bad was the male cannabis plant and the tree of life the female cannabis plant, the one which bears the seed.

Do People Truly "Love" Each Other On This Forum?
by minimus ini read how certain ones will profess their "love" for another poster---a poster that they probably never met in "real life".
is it me or does this strike you as almost impossible??

Congregation Secretaries and Flashdrives
by TD ini recently did a computer favor for a jw gentleman who is the "secretary" in his congregation.. he appears to be running a small db that stores congregation records on a flashdrive.
apparently for security reasons this information is never to go on a pc hard drive.
(ostensibly because most pc's are eventually donated, handed down to children or become garage sale fodder.).

God and Evolution
by BurnTheShips induring the second half of the nineteenth century, it became common to speak of a war between science and religion.
but over the course of the twentieth century, that hostility gradually subsided.
science should not try to become religion, nor should religion seek to take the place of science.
