My thoughts on men who Body Build

by kls in

my two son's are body builders and i am wonering if they think they can take on the world .

last year my son was in a bar fight and got sucker punched in the eye which required 5 stiches ,now my 21 year old comes home with a huge black eye, the biggest i have ever seen trying to break up a fight.. .

now both these people that got a good shot at my kids where men much smaller in stature and size and seemed to land good punches.

Ab,

Body-building is an activity people take up voluntarily, unlike being black/disabled/gay etc..

This statement alone defines your ignorance. No matter your so-called life experience.

But what I actually said or meant matters little as you're just looking for a reason to attack... To quote a well-known body-builder, unfortunately I am sure you'll 'Be back' with more of the same...

Funny Ab I see this in alot of your responses.

Please don't embarrass yourself anymore than you need to. Body-building is an activity people take up voluntarily

Like you just did. You have a very limited knowledge of who attends a fitness center. Kls, Ive been training for about five years( Im not "ripped" but in shape) and I see the young guys walking around trying to be noticed, its definately an ego thing. Older guys (myself) 40+ just ingnore them.

I believe young men that are not guided and agressive with the strength they acquire will, in the long run hurt themselves.

Christian answers to the Atheist Bible: Presupposing your beliefs

by Rex in

here is a very insightful article from ken ham....at the end is my own testimony in capsule form.

when the person you talk to on creation insists that you leave the bible out of it, they are really saying the deck should be stacked one way.

(my note: you've heard it this way, "religion does not speak on science at all.

Rex, Ive been reading up on presuppositions and a friend sent me this link:

Why do/don't you believe in God

by LouBelle in

jw
friends

now for all the scientists out there this is not a question of proof or anything along those lines.

for my part i choose to believe in a god because i honestly believe there is one (though i did start doubting for a little while) i've always felt that there was more to our existance on earth - and that doesn't stem from me wanting to live forever or as a spirit, as i don't even know if that will happen.

i also believe in him because many many times when i could not carry on, on my own strength, i managed to pulled through.

I have a 100% response rate on prayer...

To answer the question "why do I believe in God?" It makes sense of my existence.

"Jehovah God" wording

by carla in

do jw's even realize that to 'outsiders' the wording of "jehovah god" makes it sound like they are trying to distinguish between 'other gods' and 'jehovah god'?

sorry, if i'm not clear enough.

jw's i've talked to cannot seem to understand the question.

lol @ firstinline!!

Ask a dub where in the nwt(nt) does Jesus specifically come out and say to glorify the name Jehovah???

My 11-year-old daughter is having migraines!

okay, y'all, get out your experiences, thinking caps, and remedies.

jennie is 11 (will be 12 in october).

this year she has started to show all of the classic signs of puberty, and a couple of weeks ago had cramps about the same time as my cycle.

ellderwho

I suffered for years with migraines, flashing in my eyes for about 20min then the 24 hour headache whata killer. Ive discovered through the years these were brought on by food (in my case) blue cheese, macadamia nuts, and peanuts on a empty stomach. Instant migrane

Ematrex did nothing for me, a neuraologist recommened 800 mil of Motrin. when the light flashing begins that seemed to help the pressure. Ive had CAT scans with dye and showed nothing. I think I might be past them now, havent had one in about 6mo. I believe in my case its the food.

Was Jesus Created?

by 9thWonder in

was jesus created?

this question came out of a discussion i was having with a preacher of a no-denominational church.

he was trying to convince me of the truth of the trinity doctrine.

ellderwho

Maybe this was Jesus "created" or not really not a doctrinal issue but an I.Q. issue. Hmmm....

But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. ASV

However, YOU are in harmony, not with the flesh, but with the spirit, if God's spirit truly dwells in YOU. But if anyone does not have Christ's spirit, this one does not belong to him. NWT

Was Jesus created with the same spirit as God?
