Jwfacts, Why Do You Equate Miracles With Magic?
by Recovery ini have a question for the author of the website jwfacts.
as i was reading the sparlock article, i couldn't help but notice something seriously wrong:.
"the bible abounds in vivid fantasy, such as its many celestial descriptions, or the portrayal of warring kingdoms with imaginary beasts.. the sparlock message is confusing, as much for an adult as for a child, as the bible shows that god's followers practice magic, even if they are usually referred to as miracles.

Responsibility. Respect. Reverence... the three R's principle for living
by caliber ini had a lawyer friend first mention these three r's as an excellent set of principles to live by ... what do you all think ?.
i looked up a few discussions on the net.. here is the essence of it.. responsibility: the act of being responsible; that is, involving personal accountability or ability to act without guidance or superior authority; able to make moral or rational decisions on ones own and therefore answerable for ones behavior.. and we are accountable as individuals.
it is not enough to blindly abide by the rules of the religion we embrace or to be governed by the laws of the land.

Encounter with two elders last night
by sd-7 ini realized recently that this was the start of a new service year (read: fi$cal year), so of course i figured it was possible the elders would make their usual rounds and show up uninvited.
it hadn't occurred to me that they would approach me as i was picking up my family from the meeting last night.
as i was getting my daughter situated, the chairman of my judicial committee says, "hey!
