personally i believe we are.. your thoughts?.
how will it turn out?.
what can/should we do?.
you know I am the product of dirt poor ancestors, not even working class...
I have done things my ancestors couldn't dream of, I own and built my own home.
i have travelled around the world, I have been able to safely control my fertility.
i hve just this week been saved by 21st century antibiotics from an infection that I think would have killed me....
to a certain extent I think we are the master of our own destiny.
i am lucky to be alive here and now...
my friend, mike works as a massage therapist, and there is a woman at the shop that is super-jw-woman and is constantly hounding him with things.. today, he's messaging me and he tells me that she was trying to push a brochure or something on him.
he said he'd really rather not read a religious pamphlet.. so... she says, "it's not religious... it's from god.".
isn't that kinda what religious means?
he should have told her he was an apostate... that would have got rid of her.
it seems i am going to have to teach people to use a tablet as part of my job and i don't even have one!
any advice would be most helpful please.. i keep reading blurb on amazon etc and now i'm really confused.
what should i buy?
I love my amazing samsung phone, but the iPad beats the android tablet hands down.
as a jw were taught all about demons but i never had an incident.
my wife believes wholeheartedly says her family including her has had problems with them.
i have met people that even non religious people that say they have experienced a ghost or a spirit.
I also think that your mind can play incredible tricks on you when you are in grief. I had to put my much loved cat to sleep, which was so hard, and I woke up several times absolutely seeing him on my bed, in his usual spot. He was definately there, as large as life..
But I was able to accept that was simply my mind dealing with grief and guilt....so hard.....I can't imagine how hard it must be to loose your child.

yes, there probably was some guy that Jesus was based on. I'm a history buff, and I like roman history. around that time there were a bucketload of nuts claiming to be the messiah. People who believe themselves oppressed always have leaders appearing and disappearing.
I think that all historical fairy tale people such as robin hood, Jesus, Mohammed, Arthur, all have some basis in a real person, BUT, and this is the big one, some dude saying, treat other people nicely, etc etc, is not that novel in the history of our species. Nor is that a basis for claiming divinity.
the only truth In the accounts of supernatural activity is the desperate need of our species to find meaning in an otherwise meaningless life, and the incredible evil of those who debilberatly exploit others grief and pain.
The one strength science does have is that it constantly tests itself and says , we just don't know... but it provides a much better option than attempting to use a fairy tale figure to explain the otherwise unexplainable.
for me: how to garden, do laundry (we washed in an old maytag wringer and pegged the wash on a wire line), cook, clean house.. most importantly, how to show love and respect .
.. miss you, nana!!!
please share!.
showed me it was ok to be stroppy and independent when every one else told me it wasnt
let's be technical.
the bronze age ended in 1200 bce in devoloped places and later ... aroun 900-800 in other places.
indeed read 1 samuel 13's ending.. the bible was produced not one tiny bit in the bronze age.
ok, it's a bunch of fairy stories stolen from lots of other culures, better?
this week's bible highlights, as well as last week indicated that the promise land wasn't so fortunate as thought.
this week it mentions premature balding.
if you were balding prematurely, you had to see the priests.
quarterback, don't make the mistake of believing all you read... name one miracle that can be proved? I spend a lot of tim. in a developing country, and I have lost count of the amount of miracles I hear of ... and thats in the twenty first century...
pope francis assures atheists: you dont have to believe in god to go to heaven.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-dont-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven-8810062.html.
in comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, pope francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of la repubblica newspaper, eugenio scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by god if they followed their consciences.. responding to a list of questions published in the paper by mr scalfari, who is not a roman catholic, francis wrote: you ask me if the god of the christians forgives those who dont believe and who dont seek the faith.
I never thought I would live to say this, but this pope is awesome. I suppose this is why they elect such old popes, they have less opportunity to make changes.....
i think i would say " you can not change others you can only change your self" .
if you cant think of anything what is the next number in this sequence?.
what do these sums have in common?.
my motto...
I'm the hero of this story. I don't need to be saved.
never give up.
