Just got a job offer!
by daniel-p ini am one happy clam!
just got a job offer at almost 10k over my current salary plus another 10k after 2 years.
it's with an agency that would afford me many more professional opportunities, transferability, and promotion potential, and, most importantly, provides excellent benefits and job security and comes at a time when i need an offer since my current company is closing soon.. also, one of the more awesome things is that this job is under the dod, so i can stick it to the watchtower!.

i picked up about 20 versions at the book store and everyone of them had a completely different meaning.
if there's that much variation, what's the point?.

New WT Article on "grieving" Jah's HS
by daniel-p inso an old jw friend just contacted me on facebook to tell me to check out some new article on not grieving jehovah's holy spirit--he said everyone was talking about it and that i should check it out.
he knows i've been inactive, and this is the first time he's contacted me in years.. of course, he's known to get excited about things quite easily, especially in his manic states (bipolar).. anyway, does anyone know the article of which he was talking about?
probably just a bunch of gobbledygook, but i thought it would be funny to read the latest gb tirade..

Do the Differences Between Spiritual Beliefs Really Matter?
by daniel-p inone of the themes i think about every now and again is that of the nature of belief, the purpose of religion, and the presense of truth.. specifically, do the differences between spiritual beliefs really matter?
meaning that, if every religion is just an amalgamation of different combinations of mysticisms, does it really matter if we are protestants, catholics, quakers, mormons, muslims, pagans, jews, or even jehovah's witnesses?
further, does it really matter whether we believe in god or not?

New Agers and Creationists should not be President
by daniel-p innew agers and creationists .
should not be president by roger ebert on december 2, 2009 11:24 pm |permalink | comments (386)new age beliefs are the creationism of the progressives.
i move in circles where most people would find it absurd to believe that humans didn't evolve from prehistoric ancestors, yet many of these same people quite happily believe in astrology, psychics, reincarnation, the tarot deck, the i ching, and sooth-saying.

Psychology of Losing Faith
by daniel-p ini found this a very interesting article, concerning the psychological stresses involved in losing ones' faith (the title doesn't really do it justice):.
an atheist in the pulpitpublic identity and private belief are never more at odds than when a preacher loses his faith.
