Why Jehovah is not included in some Bible.
by homme perdu inthis past saturday i took a trip to the library to find the answer to the thread subject.
according to what i have read the real pronounciation of god's name is lost because of this jews usually identify god as adonai (lord) as a sign of respect.
scholars substituted yhwh with lord.

Why does God need to be worshiped?
by Scully injust curious about this question today and wondered if anyone else has pondered this.. is worship meant to be a reverent show of appreciation for life that god imparts to individuals?
if that's the case, and someone - by the mere accident of their birth - has a truly crappy life, why should these people worship god or show him "appreciation" for their unfortunate circumstances?
why should anyone who endures hardships worship god, particularly if they have been worshiping god and then all of a sudden a heap of trouble just plops into their lives, unannounced and unwelcome??.

Proof that 'art critics' are dumb
by Simon inthis time it's the messy daubings of a 4 year old being touted as 'art' and sold for big bucks.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3701484.stm.
it always makes me laugh when they set them up and finally reveal that the mysterious new modern artists they have raved over is really a chimpanzee let loose with tubes of paint.. for me an artist is someone who makes art.

An idea to help Dansk
by Mulan inhi everyone.............i have a very sweet niece, whose husband has almost the same kind of lymphoma that dansk does, and i have been showing her the board's discussion about him and his responses.
she had this idea that i told her i would present to everyone to see what you think.
(doesnt' have to be prayer in the sense we used to think of it, just positive thinking) she is a university of washington educated psychologist, and an ex jw (since she was a young teen) and leans towards buddhism now.. <<i have an idea for people to try that i read about in.
