My new Religion is The Truth.

by LAWHFol in

what exactly is religion?

why all of the pain?

you either love religion (usually the one you call home), you hate it.. or you're somewhere in between, and you say "let bygones be bygones".

LAWHFol said: Simon - I agree that believing in a Fact is not discrimination. What fact are you referring to please?

The fact is that Christian religions base themselves upon a factually inaccurate, genocidal, homophobic, misogynistic, pro-slavery book. When the foundation for what you believe in is false, then it logically follows that any beliefs derived from that foundation will also be false.

Start with the order of creation listed in Genesis 1:11-18. According to God, the Earth, the water, the atmosphere, and soils were all formed before the sun. This is 100% false. The Bible calls the moon 'a light'. This is also false. It is a reflector of light not a source/emitter of light.

Old Books and Magazines

by twice shy in

it's been a minute since i was here.

question?

what to do with old books and magazines?

Heaven

I'd like to sell my parent's library of litter-a-trash. I don't care how much I get for them as long as my Dad gets some of his money back. He can use it now that he is in a nursing home.

If they don't sell, I'll use them as compost.

JW message becoming more and more relevant

by lsw1961 in

mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

FMF, that pic with the dog is funny. Interestingly enuf I was reading up a bit on canine ancestry. It is a bit more muddled than ours as domestic dog breeds have interspersedly bred with the wild wolf population over time so there is a lot more wolf in the dog ancestry than there is ape in the human one (I think... uh oh, mental image needs an exorcist... doh! )

Do you need Art and Music in your life?

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

music and art have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy, and although i was never able to play a decent guitar, i can paint.

my art teacher from college said " i was the most imaginative and constructive pupil she had ever had.

" i loved that comment, because in translation i realised it meant i had to work harder than other more naturally talented students, but the effort was always worth it.

Heaven

A resounding YES!

There are both artists and musicians in my family. I, too, like EdenOne need music to keep me sane. I also love to draw and love all kinds of different forms of art.

war, terror, the end.

Look to what the good people are doing. Focus on this. If you feel you are able, get involved to help. Do not give the psychopaths anymore of your energy. Do NOT let them win.

I'm a cynical, sarcastic and curmudgeonly old bastard most of the time.

by nicolaou in

but as i move into my early 50's i find i'm more and more comfortable in my thick, leathery hide.. please get it into your thick skull's that i don't insult or make snarky comments with the intent of hurting anyone's feelings.

that being said, if your precious feelings are hurt it's probably your fault for being a prissy, over sensitive drama queen who can't defend his argument.. i do actually love you all, it's just that most of the time you spineless pussies really get on my nerves!.

good god i feel better for that!

nicolaou, who is this GOD you speak of?

What would happen ??

by Clambake in

there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.

first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".

he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".

Heaven

Clambake... just my 2 cents here but this is how I would handle this situation.

One, be very clear with him that he needs to back off, to stop contacting your wife, and if he does not, he will be hearing from the police and your lawyer. Two, if he contacts your wife again after this request, go to the police, file a harrassment charge and speak to your lawyer.

I am not kidding about this. Bullies need to be dealt with pronto or this is going to get worse.

I personally do not have the time in my life to deal with people who don't want to listen to what I say. Anyone who wants to push me, gets a very stern and formal response that involves the threat of legaI action. I have used this a few times in my life. And it is amazing just how effective dealing the authorities card can be. I have never had to go through with the threat. But I would if I had to.
