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?

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.

Anyone here have Bi-Polar II?
by daniel-p ini wanted to see if there were some people on here with this disorder, and what kind of symptoms you have/had, so any input is welcome.. i have some symptoms that, from what i have read, sound very similar, but i have never been one to go seeking out diagnoses for myself and am very wary of the pitfalls associated with that.. in any case, i'd be interested to hear from others about this.....
