Astrology, witchcraft and divination works. Travel the world and you'll see. There are biblical proofs to that and physical proofs as well. If these things do not take place in places near you they do happen elsewhere and trust me, they are real
But I don't trust you Daniel tells the Naked Truth. Don't get me wrong, I am sure you are a good, honest person, but put the shoe on the other foot, do you trust me? :)
All we have to go on is words on a screen.

Thanks for your reply Vanderhoven7, but I hope you'll agree that we can't use written texts as proofs.
There are written (well, carved) accounts of Sumerian Kings reigning for over 20,000 years. I'm sure you don't accept those texts as proof so I hope you can understand why I, and the majority of the rest of humanity, don't accept bible verses as proof.
I mean this is the same bible that when it's writers were compiling their own dynastic lists copied the Sumerian idea of ridiculous life spans for their patriarchs. Further, it has more magic in it than The Lord of the Rings, more talking animals in it than the Chronicles of Narnia and more moral ambiguity than Tomas de Torquemada's personal diary.
Why would anyone accept anything written in it as proof of anything happening in the real world?

If God can use the devil to accomplish His will, why not astrologers, mediums and those with familiar spirits.
First you need to prove that God uses the devil to accomplish his will, *then* you can use that fact to extrapolate that God also uses astrologers, mediums etc.
Of course if you can do that you'll be the most famous man on the planet, so good luck.
so, i guess the upcoming stuff i'm going to say is good to me.
my grandmother, yesterday, wanted to talk about some stuff.
she had pondered on me leaving at 18 and finally said to me that i can leave whenever, so if i wanted to leave tonight, she wouldn't stop me.
The room I am staying in is fully furnished, but I am still confused on what to bring. Any ideas?
Anything you want! It's hard to tell if you're just staying in this new place for a short period of time or are moving in for good. Either way, you could bring a familiar bedside lamp, or chair or something. I'm sure that if you talked to the people you are moving in with they would move out any bits of furniture that you wanted to replace with your own.
You don't feel there's any value in making light of a made up story that has ruined the lives of millions?

There's a difference between astrology being real as in existing as a concept and being real as in a working practice.
Lots of people believe in and use astrology, but it doesn't work. No form of divination works any better than educated guessing.
I don't know, but isn't that the sign language sign for "Cat's Anus"?
today is my 34th birthday.
or, my 3rd birthday that i've actually acknowledged seeing as i was raised in the cult.. i woke up this morning to my 4yo running into my room and wishing me a "happy birthday daddy!".
i got a card from my ex-jw brother and i bought myself a birthday gift - a new 50mm lens for my nikon camera (photography is a hobby i took up since leaving the cult).. i dont know about you guys, but birthdays is still something i have to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and enjoy.
Happy birthday! 50mm eh? Good portrait lens that.
i know this thread has been done before.
however maybe some of the new comers might like to know.. my avatar is the cover of my first novel "your crazy life.
".
My avatar is what came up when I googled "Mothman". Reason: I like moths.
i'm not asking this question to cause an argument or accuse, but i am honestly just wondering?
for those of you who are now atheist or non-christian, how did you come to this decision?
i hadn't given this much thought until about a year ago.
It was where the trail of breadcrumbs eventually led. It wasn't my intention, but eventually it was the inevitable conclusion.
