i want to talk about my story because i need help and advice and most impirtant a lot of comfort.. one year and a half ago i met a wonderful guy.
he was really nice and supporyed me during hard moments.
i slowly fell in love with him.
He is in a cult and he was breaking the cult rules by talking to you. The only way you will really be able to be with him is if he leaves the cult. The rules of the cult is that you are only allowed to date other members of the cult.
So if I were you, I'd find a normal guy instead.

in case some are interested and can't find it...... http://debatelive.org.

I watched this live at a Unitarian Universalist church earlier this evening. It was pretty interesting. After the video stream, we had a moderated discussion. My first time at a Unitarian church. Apparently, they're all atheists.
i would love to start a discussion (not a debate) with others that follow the gnostic writings from the nag hammadi library.
i am a believer that pretty much every belief has some truths and fallacies.
some say its a game of 'only taking what you like out of something'.....i say, its using discernment to find the 'pure nature' of what god would be and is.
If Jehovah was Satan in the OT, how does Satan enter before the presence of Jehovah in heaven in the book of Job, and the two have a conversation? If the "Jehovah" that is in heaven in this case is really Satan, is the "Satan" in these verses really the good god? Then why is he the accuser of man in this book? Isn't the word "Satan" supposed to mean "accuser" after all?
i don't want to deceive anyone and i have to clarify a few things so i'm sorry this is going to be a lot more vague then you want.
infact if you do not already realize or also feel something is about to happen as in the title, then move along, it will be a month or 2 before i update this.
it's not my intention to annoy anybody, i am too uncomfortable to post any details because it's too new and i need to verify things, and i am also feeling responsible to give a subtle warning, that it might be something somebody needs to see.
So... just thought I'd bump this again since it's been over a year... has the big shift happened yet?
can anyone tell me what the wt teaches about the resurrection of the earthly class?
do they get completely different bodies or is it a resurrection of the present body?
also, since most of scripture is written for the annointed class, and the annointed class are supposed to go to heaven in spirit bodies, how do they handle romans 8:11?.
So, uh, how exactly does a body made up of only flesh and bones deliver oxygen to its tissue cells?
four boe letters.
read and discuss:.
requesting where can we find answers to lifes big questions?
"Jehovah's sheep?" Where is Jesus in all of this?

Exactly 600? If only 66 more had partaken...
i thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.
did jesus actually exist?.
without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..
It all depends on what you consider proof. Can you prove that any historical figure existed? Can you prove that Socrates existed? How? What is the proof?
glad to be a new member and find others with similarities of background.
some background info on me: my dad became jw when i was young, so i spent maybe a third of my life in the religion.
although i respect everyone's beliefs, i personally knew many genuinely selfless people in my congregation, but the way i was raised, now that i am an adult i am realizing was very sheltered and unrealistic.
Hey, you don't happen to play GTA Online do you?
just received the book, sat down to start reading it.
first chapter has definitions:.
faith:.
All human knowledge and reason can be seen as dependent on faith: faith in our senses, faith in our reason, faith in our memories, and faith in the accounts of events we receive from others. Accordingly, faith can be seen as essential to and inseparable from rationality. According to Rene Descartes, rationality is built first upon the realization of the absolute truth "I think therefore I am," which requires no faith. All other rationalizations are built outward from this realization, and are subject to falsification at any time with the arrival of new evidence.
When you hear a news story from another country, or of an event that you did not personally witness, do you take it at face value as an absolute fact, or do you need some degree of faith in order to believe that the account of the event actually happened and is true? And even if you did witness an event, do you not require some degree of faith in your own senses and memory in order to form an account of the event?
For example, how does one person arrive at the conclusion that Jesus, as a historical figure, did not exist - yet Socrates did?
