  What is the best state to live in in America?

  by oompa in

  esp.

  interested to hear from any who have traveled or moved around a bunch....i am talking climate, nearness to mountains or beach or both, cost of living, etc.....as much as i love what california has to offer naturewise, the natural disasters and cost of living there bum me out....since i like mountains and beach, a climate a little less hot than florida.... i lean toward virginia straight south down through georgia, so both carolinas too.

  maybe maryland too, but the further north you go, the colder the water and worse the winter, but still the new england coastal states are incredible........oompa.

  I love NC and VA. I live in NC next to Virginia, not too far from the beach and close to the mountains. I drive out in the country and the old houses and farms are beautiful in the rolling hills. Beautiful in the spring and fall and not too bad in the winter.

  Another reason I like Obama

  so you know how everyone is chatting up that obama promised the girls a puppy.

  well during his press conference the other day he said he wants to rescue a dog.

  i know one of his girls is allergic to pet dander, so they need a hypoallergenic dog .. but the fact that he wants to adopt a dog to me indicates that he is a man of the people.

  I don't care what he does about a dog, but I sure hope he doesn't make my power bill go way up because of the coal issue. Duke power is a coal power plant here and he said he was going to make them go out of business for using coal.

  I don't remember the written review past the 50s. When did it end? Wasn't it part of the "Theocratic Ministry School"? I was the servant untill 1973 and don't remember it then. Is my mind going blank?

  90 years ago today...

  ...in the 11th our of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, world war i ended.. the armistice was signed at approximately 5 am that day, but was not to go into effect until 11 am.

  after more than 4 years of slaughter, after over 8 million military deaths (and more than 6 million civilains killed) and 21 million + wounded, senseless battles continued to be fought for 6 additional hours.

  men were after glory, revenge, under orders from likely insane commanders, a myriad of reasons.

  Who is responsibile for war? The common people wouldn't start a war, it's always some man who wants to control others to do his will, or sometimes some God who wants the same thing. Sometimes a leader will try to make life better by keeping his subjects in line with good morals, like Jesus, but it also turns to war like the slaughters back in the dark ages to get people to follow his religion.

  I think we are a messed up creation that will continue to fight wars like the old testament of the bible describes in about every other verse.

  Religion

  is there anyway to verify any religion as having the truth?

  is it just a feeling some have that they get from believing something "spiritual" caused them to have a relationship with a god.. the preacher of the church that my wife and i attend said that jesus was god today.

  i was reading in the bible about how jesus would leave his disciples to pray.

  He is one pice of sh** but three tirds? Sorry, it just came into my mind as I was trying to figure out what substance ment.

  What does substance mean? Spirit? God is one spirit with three brains or three spirits with one brain? I just don't understand what the trinity means. Isn't Christ God's only begotten son? What about the Holy Spirit? Is he, she, it, a son of God too?

  I have to agree with the JWs on this one.

  When I drive out in the country and see the beauty of nature I feel a closeness to whatever was responsible for it's existence but don't really know who or what it is. I guess I will die like everyone else has before me and never know.

  Make a statement you have found to be TRUE.

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's like to refer to their body of beliefs as "the truth", even when those beliefs are adjusted or even reversed, giving rise to the question 'if this is "the truth", then what were the beliefs which were promoted as "the truth" until the change'?.

  state something you have actually found to be "true", in the sense that, in your experience, it agrees with what is observed in the real world.. .

  i'll start: knowledge is power

  How Many JW Terms Aren't in the Bible?

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the following youtube video made by a young person who is unbaptized and hopes to become a publisher says that the word "rapture" isn't in the bible.

  a comment on the video says that the words "disfellowship", and "god's organization" aren't in the bible either and that the name jehovah isn't written in the new testament aka greek scriptures.

  can we further enlighten this young person as to how many words jws typically use that aren't in the bible?
