  No, Carla, I don't think that's the difficulty... (I'm thinking). I think what I don't understand is what it is about sex that is so sacred...

  I know this is weird, and the last thing I want to do is shock anyone. I'm sincerely trying to understand why I seem to have always felt so differently about this subject from everybody around me, if there are more (especially women) who feel a little bit like me. Your opinions may help me to understand myself better. It's not something that bothers me, but it does arouse my curiosity.

  How many here desire 'Reality' over the fantasy of eternal life?

  me.. wasting time believing in such silliness is like hoping one day to turn into mickey mouse.

  why not accept life now, while you have it, and understand that like all others before you, you are going to die too.

  you won't wake from that.

  "Why can't we believe both? Perhaps 'reality' is eternal life."

  Well said, Paul!

  may you all have peace!.

  a little while ago a dear one referred to my trip to "bethel" and discussion with carey barber.

  he asked if he could read them.

  Dear all,

  I've just read the thread for the first time - its many responses arose my curiosity. I don't usually read any threads started by AGuest - and... I have no words. Do you know the impression I was under as I was reading it? That it was just a dream and the next day I would post here saying: "You'll never believe the strange dream I had last night".

  Have I gone crazy overnight?

  Because I have grown to love you and I want to know what's going on in your lives. Because you make me laugh and cry and both feel wonderful. Because I learn new facts every day that fascinate me. Because through this site I've come to meet some loving people that have taught me what humility and objectivity mean. You are stuck with me now.

  "I like to stretch out with a newspaper. Can't do that in the smaller stalls." LOL, Sacolton.

  "Stop practicing my Kegels and hurry out of there!" LOL, Sylvia.

  Dear Leavingwt, I just wanted to tell you how I delight in your open-mindedness, your objectivity and your respectful attitude towards all posters, and that not just on this thread, where it definitely stands out, but as your general demeanour on the board.

  (I'd also love to know your opinion on the book "The Shack" if you get to read it -I'm quite puzzled by the good reactions of people whose opinions I respect compared to my disappointment and anger as I read it-).

  Dear Leavingwt, that's the site that removed the last scales off my eyes (although I'm proud to say I had already dropped everything overnight two months before discovering it).

  Why is god hiding?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower

  what god could have done to show himself:.

  he could have left incontrovertible evidence of his existence.he could have made it impossibly evident that mankind has been here only 6000 years, not the 200,000 give or take, that fossil evidence supports.

  he could have provided evidence through jesus to millions of non-believers, instead of focusing on a small band of fanatical followers eager to point to 'the messiah'.he could at any time, being the ultimate of beings, just simply show himself in the sky, speak to millions instead of to the lonely occasional deluded sheepherder in the desert, or provide miracles to millions of us as observers - part the ocean, cure cancer and announce it from heaven in a clear unmistakable voice, or instantaneously stop starvation and plague in it's tracks.
