someone had a thread about "smart people" in their congregations.
while i readily admit there were some "good," and "kind" jws in the congregation i grew up in.
and maybe it was the location -- my dad was asked to move there -- but for the most part it was an intellectual sahara.. yet i've noticed that on this forum there are some incredibly "smart" people.
My Honorable mention goes to Terry. Very insightful.
But the King of all intelligence is Jehovah, Satan, and Jesus They will kick your ass, smash you in the face and after its all over ppl still wonder if they exist or not. Thanks for all the posts Jehovah.!
i know in this forum we have some football lovers.
so are you guys getting ready for the euro 2008?
fill up the fridge with beers, send the wife way for a few weeks, call your friends to watch the match.... this is what i call a mans-world.... as for our national team the champions for 2004 we hope the best for them.
The knockout stage is different from that of past tournaments. Teams in groups A and B will be separated from teams in groups C and D until the final. This means that the final cannot be between any two teams from the same group, or even between any two teams from the same half of the tournament. The likely motive for this change is that, in previous European Championships, the final match has been a repeat of a group fixture. However, this alteration greatly increases the chance of two teams playing each other twice in the competition; they would simply play again in a semi-final tie rather than in the final. There is a strong argument that this prevents the final match from being played between the best two football teams.[who?] There has also been a soft outcry by betting agents, as the chances of predicting the two teams to make it to the final is mathematically much easier than in recent years.[

I have heard many many similar stories over the years. From credible ppl. Im not sure what to make of all the stories. One thing is for sure ppl arent making it up. The question becomes are these things directly attributable to a good vs evil scenario? Yes or NO ..and im not sure. If they are then the Bible should be revered. But the Bible has been shown lacking. If they arent connected in some way to the aforementioned then What? Can we assume that something survives death? ?? . If they are entities from another planet that are screwing with us then there is no connection with the God of the Bible and therefore no belief required.....( IN Mexico People see UFOs all the time as well as shadow ppl ) People here in USA and Canada see shadow ppl all the time. Recently someone recounted how he heard knocking on his front door ALL the time. But when he went to check there was always nothing to be seen, So he set up a camera outside and it took pics of a "shadow" ,,shown here:

Good or evil or Satan's demons or dead ppl not going into the light and remaining on this "side" or entities or aliens??? Whatever it is one thing is for sure : The Bible doesnt help identify them because it is lacking in necessary information. IMO. This no more proves God exists than a blade of grass does.
i am beginning to forget the exact rules and regulations concerning this type thing (thank goodness)... but witnesses are not "allowed" to watch fighting such as boxing and ufc prize fighting, correct?

god explains why he allows evil.

thats some nutty shit...
while this may be construed as a rebuttal to nvr's thread re: why i post about atheism, that is not my intent.. it is my intent, however, to show how i developed a belief in and love for the god of the bible.. my paternal grandfather, who died before i was born, was a baptist preacher, so you could say i cut my teeth on the bible.
i loved having it read to me, and once i learned how, reading it for myself.
i'm convinced that spirituality runs deep in my blood.. i've always had such a strong sense of right and wrong that injustices make me literally sick.

How do you know its not just all in your head? For so long as JWs we looked at the HS as impersonal so with your yearning to believe so strongly in God- ( with the threat of your spiritual world crumbling around you if there is no Jesus) - how do you realize that this HS you speak of is a real person not a figment of your imaginaton. HOW does it work inside you. How does it talk to you? THere must be a catalyst. Explain it to me in terms i can distinguish between fancifulness and reality.That is to say that we as humans love to embellish things so explain it to me without the "color". Thank you.
