When they start talking crap, in your mind, go to your Happy Place. Or... refute everything they are saying silently in your mind. This is what I used to do. Let them babble on, they like to do that. When they're done, say something inane like 'Hmmm, interesting.' or change the subject or even better "Well, I have to go to the washroom. Excuse me." and walk away.

So Black Wolf, what post-secondary school(s) are you thinking you'd like to attend? Please let us know and list your reasons why this/these particular schools interest you. Keep thinking about the future, keep planning for it.

Evolution a Fact - Agreed but So What?

by LAWHFol in

in many debates between believers and non believers (nb), the nb uses evolution as some sort of proof to support the non existence of god.. i agree that evolution is a fact, however i feel that evolution is proof of some sort of benevolent original cause.. if i were to create an a.i.

, i would program into it the ability to self-refactor and evolve.. i would also randomly inject viruses into the program (evil) where the a.i.

would be forced to stretch its current capabilities & modify it's operating functions in order to get through the random virus, and continue living.. with a steady flow of different viruses, the a.i.

I was always taught to believe that God created everything in 6 days. Of course, I don't believe that. But religious nutbags do.

This is 100% bullshit and Evolution is a big part of proving this statement false, that's why the statement 'Evolution is Fact' is so important.

New here, never baptised (thank god)!

just signed up and wanted to introduce myself.

i had 1 x-mas and 1 birthday before both my parents joined the jw's around 1966 or 67 being 1 year old i don't remember them (the holidays), to this day holidays are nothing to me (thanks jw's).

i never really believed the bible or jw literature.

Welcome olongapo joe! I was also never baptized. Neither were my 2 brothers. It's been a rough road but at least our parents didn't shun us kids totally. Do your parents and sibling who are still active JWs still speak to you?

If it's one thing I can recommend to anyone contemplating getting baptized it is this... DO NOT DO IT.

I figure this is the only reason I was able to maintain some sort of relationship with my folks.

today's text -.

sunday, january 24. they collected the fine ones into containers, but the unsuitable they threw away.—matt.

13:48.. understanding the lesson of this illustration helps us to avoid being overly distraught or disappointed if a bible student or one of our children does not make the truth his own.

As a teenager, I observed that reality didn't match the mythos and fantasy of religion.

What many believers do not know is that the book of Revelation was written by an old man, John, exiled on the Greek island of Patmos. This island has many hallucinogenic mushrooms growing on it. He was either insane or on drugs or both.

sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.

recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.

every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

Black Wolf, both George Stubbs and Marine Oussedik are excellent artists. There are many, many awesome, talented illustrators.

I love Kim McElroy, Leslie Harrison, Donna Green, Gladys Brown Edwards, C.W. Anderson, Wesley Dennis, Sam Savitt, Sveltana Novikova, Marcia Baldwin, Judy Larsen, Bev Doolittle, Robert Bateman, Carl Brenders, Lydia Kiernan ... um, just to name a few. ;0)

Something you can try... this will take practice but if you do it every time you have bad thoughts, you eventually get into the habit and it helps shift your mood a lot...

Every time you have a bad thought, IMMEDIATELY start thinking of things that give you joy and happiness... one of my things is horses (of course) but also Baskin and Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream, Music that uplifts me (example Katrina and the Waves 'Walking on Sunshine' or Walk the Moon's 'Shut Up and Dance'). Also try doing a physical exercise. You could dance to some music. Or do something like 10 jumping jacks or lifting some weights (you don't have to have official weights... a jug of laundry detergent or water will do) or go outside and go for a walk or jog.

Don't listen to this religion's doom and gloom. It's a pile of crap. Every negative connection your brain makes, it needs at least 12 positive connections to negate the one negative one. Force your brain to make positive connections. Just Do It, Wolfy! :0)

Proof the earth can be flat

"our perception of reality has more to do with what is going on in here (our brain) than what's going on out there (in the world).".

The Earth's surface is curved. Ever observe an eclipse? You can also check out the work done by Eratosthenes of Cyrene.
