Anyone see Criss Angel walk on water last night on A&E?
by sweetstuff inok, i'm not a person who takes what i see on tv as "real" but that was pretty darn mind blowing.
the guy walked on the hoover dam lake, people were coming into the water, checking out the water underneath him to make sure he wasn't walking on something and it appeared he was not.
holy crap, i watched in complete disbelieve yet thinking, how could you pull that off as an illusion?

Wouldn't it be cool if you could make someone see your perspective?
by sweetstuff inwhat i mean by that is this..i had a recent convo with my mom who insisted we had a good upbringing as jw's, my siblings and i and how hurt she is that one sibling in particular blamed the religion during a convo for his mental health issues and addiction.
i tried to explain to her that while i don't blame everything in my life on the "religion" or how they chose to raise us in it, she doesn't get how badly it effected her kids, that she didn't get raised as one and cannot fathom the emotional baggage that comes along with marching into your first years of school as a jw.
you know what i am talking about, the isolation, teasing and sheer torture alot of us suffered due to what we could not celebrate, engage in and participate in.

Would you care for your elderly JW parents in time of medical need?
by sweetstuff inthis thought came to me as result of another thread on healthcare.
alot of people consider caring for their elderly parents to be a burden, mentally, physically and economically.
so my question is this, add into that the emotional upheaval of being shunned or semi shunned by your parental units due to their faith in "jehovah's organization" (i physically gag when i even type that, lol) would you turn your back on them and said, payback is a bitch isn't it?

Disturbing news regarding Arctic Melting.
by sweetstuff ini know, i know, someone is going to say, there is no proof that global warming is real, or that its man-made.
yeah, un-huh.
just like there is no proof that jw's teach lies.

I just love this website!
by sweetstuff ini am sure this has probably been covered before, but for those who haven't come in contact with it, this website is a great tool when dealing with how to explain and debate from the bible what is wrong with what the watchtower teaches.. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/.
one of my personal favs is genesis 1: 26, 27-- "and god said, let us make man in our image.... so god created man in his own image, in the image of god created he him; male and female created he them.
" -- genesis 1:26-27. what a second here, god said, let us, make man in our image, male and female he created them.

A Christian we could all learn from.....
by sweetstuff ini just watched a movie about william wilberforce, who i had no prior knowledge of, great movie, amazing grace and given the large amount of debate lately on here regarding christianity versus atheisim, i thought what better example of someone who's religious beliefs drove him to make improvements for all of mankind.
i am not a christian, but i think if we all tried to more humanitarian like this man, only good could come from it .
he is someone to me, that embodies all that christanity should be, by his actions.. perhaps he would have become the same man, without christianity, perhaps not.
