i"m normally the kind of guy that likes to count his blessings.

i've got two great kids.

and a super wife who loves me despite myself.

Maybe use your ample income to save for university for your kids? Then you definitely wont be putting them in the same position as you were. Also, maybe get really involved in something in your community?

The Truth No one Wants To Hear

by maccauk11 in

the truth about messiah and what he acheived in the 1st century is something millions of believers in christ refuse to accept namely the historical record of things all fulfilled in that momentous 1st century.it is rejected because the -isms, man made doctrines, theologies, false teachings etc etc that abound since then and so millions have allowed themselves to be brainwashed,conditioned into.

the reality is so simple if one lets messiah remain with his intent and meaning.

but if we change his own words, we become divided.

Announcement made about me

hubby informed me that an announcement was made to his congreation not to approach us when we are out together.

this was done at his request.

another way he can control me i guess.

Captain Obvious

Wow... Asshole. Why are you together again? Maybe it's time to upgrade the wardrobe on his dime, hire a trainer, jump up a few ranks and get a man who actually respects you.

Your choice to stay.

I think my fade has hit a rut. Do I need to grow a pair?

so here i am after about 18 months of wake up.

the first 6 months were a rollercoster of feelings as my whole belief system unravelled.

the last year has been more stable but things seem like they are just stalling now.. my wife is aware of many of my feelings although i have held back the fact that i am pretty close to denying all belief in any kind of god.

Captain Obvious

Stopping meetings is much more serious than stopping service. Your friends won't shun you so fast if you just quit service. Maybe try that? I quit within a month or two of waking up. Couldn't handle it. Wife was upset at first, but she barely goes out now too.

Seems like she is trying to make up for your lack of performance? Does she know how serious you are? Perhaps try the angle that you can't lie, you need to be hones. Your conscience is killing you, and must be honest.

If there's anything that convinces a Christian the Bible isn't infallible...

it's got to be reading the old testament.

that is some messed up sh!t.. .

your choices are basically to think it's based on things that happened but men's version of events, there is tons of allegory, that it's just a bunch of made up nonsense, or to rip those parts of your bible out and pretend they don't exist.. .

Captain Obvious

Let it in my friend, let it in. That's your mind trying to work on its own!

If it's only the OT that bothers you, I suggest Bart D. Ehrman's 'Jesus, interrupted'

Proof For The Existence Of God!

by abiather in

end results can determine worth of anything!

(mathew 11:19) by this simple criterion, scientists and religions are not very reliable.

it contains both gods word and mans word.

Captain Obvious

Next time you or a loved one gets sick, better stay away from the hospital and all it's scientific evils. Maybe try acupuncture instead? It's not as sciencey.

As your loved one lays dying in your home, you can feel good that you didn't support science and all it's satanic evils.

Brahma Kumaris lol have a nice day

33 percent of Americans reject evolution

by Simon in

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57616373-71/33-percent-of-americans-reject-evolution/.

that seems to be a disturbingly high number for a western / educated / developed nation.. does this have anything at all to do with america slipping behind in the sciences?

it seems hard to imagine they could not not be linked somehow.. no surprise that the jesus party (republicans) reject evolution the most.
