  i sat down to watch some tv today... our tv only pick up 3 channels.. and stuff worth watching is few and far between.

  it's amazing how much mindless drivel is being broadcasted.. .

  deal or no deal: where an overactive lunatic runs around the stage hyperventilating, while simultaniously showing off his/her amazing random-number-generator skills by choosing completely arbitrary numbers and winning money for it.

  Ah, you should have watched "Doctor Who" (BBC America), "Monk" (USA), and "Bad Santa" (Comedy) today. You gotta get cable!!

  I loved Monk! I really miss cable.

  And stuff worth watching is few and far between. It's amazing how much mindless drivel is being broadcasted.

  Deal or no Deal: Where an overactive lunatic runs around the stage hyperventilating, while simultaniously showing off his/her amazing random-number-generator skills by choosing completely arbitrary numbers and winning money for it.
  Every single contestant is "Positive" that it's case contains the 1 out of 26 cases that contains a million dollars.
  They show off their arrogance by claiming that god put them on this show for a reason. (Which indicates that god ignored everyone else in America.)
  They show off their greed by turning down hundreds of thousands of dollars for a 50/50 chance at getting more.
  And then choosing 'lucky' numbers until they finally walk away with a random amount of money between $0.01 and $1,000,000.00.
  A monkey with numbered flashcards, would have an equal chance of winning.

  The Biggest Loser: While it's not based entirely on random numbers. It's still completely mindless. As you watch dozens of really fat people sweat, cry and weigh themselves week after week and stab each other in the back at the voting table, until the end of the season when you are watching about a half a dozen really fit people sweat, cry and weigh themselves and stab each other in the back at the voting table.
  In the end somebody wins a bunch of money because they lost a bunch of weight.
  This is nice for the contestants, but why would anyone at home watch this? You get to sit on YOUR lazy butt while somebody ELSE exercises. There is no intellectual or physical benefit to this at all.

  The Local News: Okay, this is the best yet, but MY local news really SUCKS. They tell you which local school has the best athletes... I really couldn't care less WHO is more capable of throwing a ball through a hoop. What does sports have to do with news? News is supposed to be about important events, not a buch of sweaty guys playing baseball or jumprope or whatever.
  They tell you the predicted weather. But it takes them a half hour to get to MY local weather, because they have to cover a large area... I could simply log onto to weather.com, type in my zipcode and get even MORE detailed information in mere seconds. And if there was a weather emergency, they'd interrupt one of the other mindless shows to tell me.
  They tell you who killed who, and who's getting married in my area. But I don't know any of these people, and if I DID know them, they'd tell me themselves. So everyone who cares, already knows this!

  The World News: NOW we're getting somewhere! But again, anything they are going to tell me is already covered on wikipedia's main page in much more detail.

  Infomercials: I can't STAND infomercials! Who the heck would sit there for an hour and listen to that guy yell at the top of his lungs about ? And watch as the unnattractive assistant shows you every single possible use for it. And then explains what it does, as if it's something special, when in fact EVERY does the exact same thing."This frying pan transfers the heat directly to the food, but the handle stays cool enough to touch." (That's what all frying pans do, you moron.)
  "This knife can cut tomatoes, radishes, bone, steak, marshmellows and MORE" (Congratulations, you just defined the word 'knife'.)
  "The handymans ultra-mega-utility-belt 4004 can hold hammers, cell phones, nails, screws, even tape!" (It's a pocket, it holds anything smaller than the opening.)

  Cheaters: Somebody with an archaic sense of sexual morality hires a private detective to spy on his/her useless wife/husband and see if it's having sex with somebody other than it's legal mate. They film it, and in an astounding display of censorship, they blur out everyones faces and genitalia, bleep out every other word, break apart the physical combat, and then the everybody hates each other.
  It's good for a laugh, but completely mind-numbing.

  Sports: Constantly on. Constantly mindless. I fail to see the fascination in watching a buch of people play ball... I just don't get it.

  Eye for an Eye: Two subhumans take their petty squabbles to a pseudo-judge who tells them why they are so pathetic, and then inflicts an arbitrary penalty on one of the two,or possibly both. It takes us back thousands of years in justice to a time when nobody actually benefited from the legal system, and inflicting revenge was the sole purpose of a judge.

  Needless to say, I didn't watch TV very long. Back to the internet!

  Why believe god?

  by LtCmd.Lore in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  assuming for the sake of argument that the bible is inspired of god, why do you trust this god?.

  how do you know anything he says is true?.

  for all you know, satan may have created everything, and then yahweh came in to take the credit.. for all you know, yahweh may just like messing with people.

  Why does it bother you that others believe in God?

  That's a very loaded question. To big to go into without getting completely off topic. But for one thing, I dislike what faith does to people minds. They are completely incapable of questioning their religion. It's like a horrible brain disease.

  For example, all I did here was ask a question: "Why do you trust god?" It's a pretty straightforward question. But so far, no believer has been capable of thinking about it long enough to give an intelligent response.

  Instead, they ask a huge load of completely unrelated questions, like: "Why is bra singular and panties plural?"
  Or insult me: "Your words are just evil and it sounds like something straight from the pit of hell."Or tell me I should just throw logic out the window and ignore these questions : "You should have more love (GOD) in your heart so that these thoughts don't attack you." (While simultaneously insulting me, by implying that I'm not loving.)
  It's a huge list of reasons why they don't need any reasons.

  The very concept that I do not automatically have faith in this thing is completely foreign to believers.

  So by asking these questions, I hope to cause people to use their brains.

  people lie he cannot..people fail you he cannot

  He CLAIMS that he cannot lie, or fail. Why do you believe this?

  try God and his word...I promise you you will be happy

  I already did, and it sucked. Now I've learned to set the bar a little higher: Before I try something outré, I require a good reason first.

  Are you saying that trust is not supposed to be earned before given?

  I found your questions and statements to be highly offensive, to the One and only Almighty God.

  How do you know he's almighty, or the only one? Because he tells you so? Why do you believe him? That is the topic!

  I'm not here to argue with you, I just want to share something with you. God is Love, he loved us so much that he gave his only begotten SON so that we might live.

  How do know that god is love? Because he tells you so? Or based on his actions... How do you know he actually performed those actions you admire? Because he tells you so?

  Why do you believe him?

  He died for your sins and for mine.

  Why do you believe this?

  Romans 12:2 tells us to be NOT conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of our minds. You should renew your mind so that you can think pure, healthty, holy thoughts.

  Sounds like the perfect way to end up believing a bunch of fiction.

  It meens: "Forget everything you know about how the world works and believe god for no reason... Oh, you meen god doesn't talk to you? Well that's okay, I'll tell you what he wants, and you can believe ME without cause instead!"

  Sorry JIL, I don't trust you that much.

  Your words are just evil and it sounds like something straight from the pit of hell.

  Insults already?

  Well then I'm done with you.

  ---

  So is anyone actually going to answer the question, instead of just insulting me? If god inspired the Bible, why do you believe god?

  Trust is earned, not GIVEN away. How has God earned your trust?

  Sexual psyche stunted by the JW legacy?

  by Gregor in

  when you are in the org.

  the real 'meat' (no pun intended) of the org.

  is rules and regs on masturbation, premarital sex, extra marital sex, sex practices among married people, pornography, sex sex and more sex.

  Is it not odd that a group of adults post page after page proclaiming that they like sex and that it feels good?

  Odd? As in: "Beyond or deviating from the usual or expected."

  No.

  Which bible translation do you prefer?

  by digderidoo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have decided to buy myself a bible.. i have a new world translation but the large print version, so i tend not to use it.

  after reading crisis of conscience i have decided to discard this translation anyway, but at a loss as to what translation to use.

  i also have a few old king james bibles but the language is unreadable to me.

  This looks like a perfect example of 'Stand Alone Complex'

  One person faints during a speech by Obama, and he shows her special attention.

  Millions of people see this, a lot of them really love Obama, he's like a rock star. So in attempt to connect with him, they go to his speeches and faint.

  The combined effect of all these copycats working alone, makes it apear as if it was a contrived and organized plan.
