Sex really that bad?
by Batman89 ini was just thinking randomly.
why/how are sexual desires really that much of a sin??.
sexual energy is one of the highest forms of energies known, why would god put this strong desire in us only to have us repress it through his"word the bible"??.

BLOOD MOON and
by NAVYTOWN inhad anyone heard any jws talk about the fact that a blood moon lunar eclipse is going to happen on the night of the memorial?
i can't imagine that at least some witnesses aren't saying this event is a biblical 'sign' that amageddon is getting very close.
there will be four blood moons between now and fall 2015.....a very rare celestial happening.

"And yet it moves !"
by Phizzy ingalileo is said to have uttered, or probably muttered these words in front of the inquisition after supposedly having reacanted his teaching that the solar system is heliocentric, as his predecessors kepler and copernicus had worked out.
(and a guy in 3rd century b.c greece !).
why was galileo unable to go back to his belief held by him in his youth, and nearly all people in christendom, that the earth was at the centre of the solar system and all the planets revolved around it ?.
