Dumbest Awake Title Ever?
by metatron ini hold in my hand the nov. awake magazine entitled "technology - blessing or curse?"..
now, i understand the need for balance and moderation in using technology, as the magazine says - but could they come up with a more intelligent sounding title?

Some thoughts on Deism.......
by desib77 inso i've been thinking a lot about the beliefs behind deism and a lot of it makes sense to me...... here are a few things that i still wonder about.. if god created us and then left us to our own doing i'm not sure how i feel about that.
i'm very thankful for the chance to have life but on the other hand hate that there is so much suffering in the world.. has he abandoned us or does he just watch?.
if i pray to him, does he listen or is it not worth anything but my own comfort?.

we should be ready to say, " hold on there, that doesn't fit into the pattern, and i am not going to listen to it!
" yes, even if it were one of jehovah's angels.. .
