  What things are pagan in origin?

  by roybatty in

  2. friends

  i read someone's commment about the pagan origins of pretzels, which i didn't know.

  i'd like to share with my kids other items or customs that are also pagan in origin, like wedding rings and the wedding cake.

  i want them to see that christmas isn't the only tradition with roots in pagan religion that have changed meaning over the years.. any others out there?

  Blood Show on Discovery Channel

  did anyone happen to catch the show on the cable tv discovery health channel this past weekend about blood?

  i tuned in mid-way through it, just in time to see them covering bloodless surgery planned for a jw woman.

  the patient was a very heavy, diabetic woman who needed heart surgery.. what i found interesting was that the patient refered to herself as a "jehovah witness" (sic) while the narrator of the program used the correct pronounciation.

  Angelic Gender?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  funny how a strange thought can just 'pop' into your head.. .

  according to genesis, a preface to the flood was the intercourse that took place between materialised angels and human women (gen 6:2).

  if the angels have no gender, why were not at least some of them tempted by human men and so materialise as women?.

  To all atheist

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would just like to know how you were able to arrive at your belief system.

  if i am not mistaken, an atheist is a person who absolutely does not believe in the existence of a god.

  while i can definitely understand why someone would be averse to believing in conventional theism (inconsistenies, errors in writing), i cannot understand how one can be 100% certain that a god does not exist.
