  A few solutions:

  Help the Mexican government stabilize their society. It may require sending troops to help deal with the cartels. We did it for Iraq, why not Mexico.

  Help rebuild their country and infrastructure. We did it before in other nations.

  People who think the children should stay should put them up in their own homes.

  If immigrants take jobs no one else wants to do, then why do we have jobs no one wants to do. I can think of of able bodied welfare and food stamp recipients that should be given those jobs. You want your benefits, do these jobs. Maybe that will motivate them to find better work but at the very least we will have a source of labor for these so called jobs that no one wants to do.

  You could also take a stict libertarian approach and get the government out of everything. Leave it to the states to police their borders since the kids will be going to the schools at the states' expense, for example.

  Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

  by punkofnice in

  this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

  i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

  i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

  This one...

  It's odd, I was far more dishonest when i was a uber dub bible believing "christian" than I am now as an atheist.

  I find odd about myself too in that when I was an uber bible believing, praying to almighty God on a regular basis Christian I was more dishonest with people and living a double life. Of course, I was also single and in my 20s back then and now I am a married man in my 40s with two kids so that may also have something to do with it. I also never actually READ the Bible back then as much as I have now.

  Noone really 'follows' the Bible as most just take the bits and pieces that they like and dismiss the rest as 'the old law.' For many of them, a habitual liar has a better shot at grace than a homosexual in spite of this verse:

  Revelation 21:8

  But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

  The problems Bible believers have with Atheists is the burden of proof is on the Believer and we just do not have enough proof.

  i recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.

  i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.

  she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.

  "Why does Jehovah and Jesus" always talk about forgiveness and loving your enemies when Jehovah will never forgive people he destroyed in the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah. Couldn't Jehovah just tell himself they did not know any better they died before Christ came to earth so I will give them another chance.

  This new JW video is so stupid that it has to be a troll

  by Pacopoolio in

  recently, my mother, who had stopped talking to me because i was 'apostate,' started speaking to me again.. (note that i successfully faded as opposed to ever being disfellowshipped due to dodging every elder question with "i'm not sure, i'm still searching and trying to find the answers.").

  the reason why?

  at the international convention this year, they receieved a new video called something or other.

  It all seems to nonsensical when you consider that we have multiple sects of Christianity all trying to discredit science to support their worldview while simultaneously discrediting each other.

  3) When younger son brings up to his parents that the bible may not be correct, the basement dwelling elder shows him a model of Noah's ark that he built. The son loves it! The family later gets together in a park to show the scale of Noah's ark! Yay! What does this have to do with validty and evidence?! Who cares!

  Oh, I am sure that child would've gotten a kick out of the creation museum in Kentucky. But wait, Jehovah's Witnesses cannot go there as it was built by Christendom's churches.

  Too funny.

  I recall telling my wife about the mormon website and how they view their former members as apostates and how one of our mormon posters got angry with me when I questioned him about his religion. She actually defended that mormon saying that I was probably misinformed. Classic.

  Science proves there is a God

  by seekchristonly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  fusion with god natural .

  in the cosmos universe or whatever.

  all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

  I saw no evidence to support such a claim.

  The True Church Cannot Be Seen

  by maccauk11 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the true church is one not made by human hands it cannot be seen or touched nor is it made with bricks and mortar.

  it is a living breathing entity made up of believers in messiah.

  all earthly representations of it are counterfeit and a delusion to stop you from entering into the new spiritual covenant started after the destruction of jerusalem and the temple in 70ad.

  Where is the Love

  by cassuk11 in

  just a comment about shunning.

  true love is about forgiveness, overlooking faults, putting up with one anothers faults etc etc.

  walking in love means being merciful to others.
