  If I Had Intelligently Designed Man...

  by VoidEater in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ...i'd leave out stuff that serves no purpose - like the appendix and coccyx.. ...i'd make the testicles internal so all those baseballs in the groin didn't hurt so much.. ...i'd add a third hand and eyes in the back of the head.. .

  Conversion Went Badly

  by VoidEater in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my aunt's father, a formerly life-long adherent to the apostolic church, became a witness last year.. i just learned he went to the last assembly and died.

  tripped and hit his head on an armrest.. i'm waiting for the next round of email that talks about jehovah protecting his people with guardian angels.

  maybe he missed the memo that this guy was entitled to divine intervention..

  To the Christians...

  to the christians on the board:.

  thank you for living up to the best your beliefs have to offer.

  with very few exceptions, my flailings and rantings as i refine my own "truth" have been greeted with patience and kindness, or kindly ignored.. i do not foresee that i will ever return to a belief system that you hold dear, yet i do respect your beliefs - and appreciate your insights.

  ...apparently armageddon is not expected before january 2009. otherwise, there'd be no need to plan the change in the bible study so far in advance.

  SATIRE: If it works for The Flood...

  by VoidEater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  belief in fire is widespread, and there is a culture-spanning panorama of equating "earthly fire" to "heavenly fire" (encyclopedia britannica, "nature worship").. the divine source of fire is found in many mythos; a small sampling:.

  greek prometheus, a giant, steals fire from the the god zeus.

  cherokee the thunders, spirits from the above world, bring fire.

  No matter when Armageddon comes...

  by VoidEater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...there's gonna be kids, people just on the way into the troof, people just on the way out, a whole mish-mash of decisions and commitments and changing minds and innocents.

  a difference of 5 minutes will save some and daestroy others.. just how does making armageddon happen in one year versus 100 years versus 1000 years change anything?

  nonsense.

  Psycho Debate: Samson Versus Paul

  by VoidEater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know samson's superhuman powers went away when his long hair got cut (as i understand it, he followed a god-approved faction that disallowed his cutting his hair).. we all know paul told us how unnatural it is for a man to have long hair ("nature itself" tells us).. did god change his mind?

  what should a male do with his hair - cut it short, or wear it long?.
