Abraham, do JWs say it's okay to do anal? (Within the bonds of marriage of course) Please provide scriptural backing for your response. Not because I belive that collection of cruelty, lies, and contradictions, I'd just like to know what you think the Bible's position is on anal.

Do you sometimes wish you could believe?
by Xander inidle thought for the moment.
i consider myself pagan - mostly because of the earth-friendly orientation of the 'religion'.
i tend to feel some forces guide us, but not in a christian way - to no real purpose or divine goal.

Xander, you and I are on the same page. Semantics is just getting in the way. To believe is to accept as true and/or real. Faith is belief in something for which there is no proof. I think I have been using "believe" in leiu of "have faith." I have not dismissed the supernatural either, for the simple fact that you can not prove to me that there is no supernatural being or force. Yet, like you, I need to see it happen and be able to repeat it, to quantify it, or have some form of verifiable proof in order to accept it as true and real (to believe it). I would love to be shown proof that cantations or potions or prayer works. If I had that proof, I would then believe in it and that would be great. But in the mean time, I am incapable of having faith that one or the other is reality.
Basically, if I had the proof, then I would both know and believe. Without the proof I have two choices. I can either have faith and believe or say "I don't know." I believe the latter is a more honest and open minded outlook.

I wouldn't say that I wished I could believe. I feel that my inability to accept that which can not be proven to me is a good thing, an honest thing, and leaves my mind open to explore different theories. I some times do get a pang of jelousy when speaking with someone who "knows" whether there is a god, who "knows" which god is the true one, who "knows" what happens after death, who "knows" why we are here and what we are supposed to do with our time on this Earth. I suppose that feeling arises because I want to know the answers as well. But the pang is only that, and it never lasts more than a few seconds. Why? Because I realize that these people, despite all of their conviction, really do not know, they believe. No, I don't wish I could believe, but I would still like to know.

--------------------------------------WARNING: AXE TO GRIND SECTION----------------------------------
Found this (partially quoted) article in the UK Guardian while searching Lord of the Rings online:
It was the same with The Phantom Menace - I had no choice. When part of your childhood is playing down the road on a big screen with surround sound and popcorn, there's no escape. But as the wonder of discovering that there was more to New Zealand than sheep wore off, something began to worry me.
Maybe it was the way that all the baddies were dressed in black, or maybe it was the way that the fighting uruk-hai had dreadlocks, but I began to suspect that there was something rotten in the state of Middle Earth.
Perhaps Dubya's war on terror is making me a bit uneasy, or maybe it's just good old-fashioned Guardian-reading imperial guilt, but there was something about watching a bunch of pale faces setting off into the east to hack some guys with dark faces into little bits that made me feel a little queasy.
We also get a sneak preview of the army that's going to be representing the forces of darkness in part three. Guess what: "Dark faces... black eyes and long black hair, and gold rings in their ears... very cruel wicked men they look". They come from the east and the south. They wield scimitars and ride elephants.
Perhaps I'd better come right out and say it. The Lord of the Rings is racist. It is soaked in the logic that race determines behaviour. Orcs are bred to be bad, they have no choice. The evil wizard Saruman even tells us that they are screwed-up elves. Elves made bad by a kind of devilish genetic modification programme. They deserve no mercy.
Will someone tell me where they grow these people so I can lobby to have the crop plowed under and the field seeded with DDT? I swear, people can read racism and intollerance into ANYTHING. I even heard that some hypersensitive group of people with nothing better to do than bitch-n-moan were protesting Matrix: Reloaded because they say it promotes a negative image of albinos. Here?s the email address of the putz that wrote the above article if you wanna give him a piece of your mind.

Hey Az, I read the Dune series too. Liked it at first, but toward the end it kinda got a little conveluted for me. Maybe it was just because I tried to read them all in a row with no breaks, I dunno. Did you get bored or confused toward the end? Have you read any other series that you like? The Asian series by James Clavell? Original Vampire Chronicles or Mayfair Witch Trology by Rice? Tolkien's Lord of the Rings? The Jack Ryan books by Clancy?
