i was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.
ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.
(cuckoo!!!).
What you described, quelly. You believe, but think he doesn't answer prayers. :
Some definitions for deism:
The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation.
a movement or system of thought advocating natural religion, emphasizing morality, and in the 18th century denying the interference of the Creator with the laws of the univers

"He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today"

I think I am going down the agnostic road. I see god in creation and good people but don't believe he's a hearer of prayer.
Diest might be a better description, quelly.

This thread reminds me of the times big rock stars don't show up for their shows. Now, you guys don't start like rocking news vans and knocking busses over, okay? No looting.
im not a jw but my recently x boyfriend is.
he and were dating for the past 6 years.
i found out he had gotten married to a jw in the last 1and a half of our relationship.
Walk away. Don't interfere with his marriage. Let someone else be the homewrecker. It will probably backfire right into your face. YOu would be the messenger, as well as the other woman. You can't win. Chalk it up to experience. Fix your broken picker (boyfriend partner picker) and gracefully move on. I've seen several messengers get shot. And I've seen the "other woman" really mess things up for her self royally. There is no dignity in telling someone's wife you've had an affair with her husband, even if he didn't tell you that he was married, in the first place.
there's an interesting medicolegal issue arising out of tx, a pregnant women who suffered a pulmonary embolism in november and died (when she was 14 weeks pregnant).. however, the body has been kept on life-support all this time (against her and her husband's wishes), due to an ambiguous tx state law (tex hs.

It is much cheaper for the hospital just to offer to settle without admitting guilt. It will cost them a lot less.

The hospital will offer the family a settlement and the family will likely hire a lawyer to guide them through the settlement. Unless the hospital clearly thinks they did nothing to contribute to the girl's death.

Mostly, I don't think, "That is so Texas." I usually think, that is so inside the box or smacks of extreme fundamentlist thinking.
I was watching a show about William McCoy, the famed bootlegger of prohibition. I never knew that at the time Americans consumed 8 times the alcohol that they do today. It was such a problem that husbands were staying drunk all of the time and women staying drunk and society was falling apart. Makes me think a lot of the drug issues America faces today. So the temperance movement had many groups behind it, including one of society's minorities which was made up of fundamentalists, trying to stop the drunkeness. I didn't realize that the drinking issues were so bad at the time. I guess I figured it only had a religious basis to it: prohibition. Of course prohibition created extreme problems that were pretty bad in and of themselves, like organized crime becoming so powerful. One good side effect was that people do not drink so much now. The bad thing is that drugs were made illegal and they took over where the extreme drinking left off.
My reason for bringing up the documentary about prohibition is this: they pointed out that it was a minority of society, a tail who wagged the dog. The wishes of a small percent, getting their way to manhandle the majority into making the changes they wanted. It isn't different today. America is not made up of a majority of funadamentalists. But they understood in the times of America's widespread drunkeness, they could wield political power and they haven't forgotten that lesson. If you look at a presidential election map, most big cities and the counties around them vote democrat. That is where the majority of Americans live, either in the cities or areas right around them. The rural counties tend to vote GOP. Gerrymandering of congressional districts has given the GOP too much power in the house of reps. This is true big time in Texas. It's not a moral majority. It's a moral minority who is very sligh and never gives up in the pursuit of getting what they want.

You ever been to TX, FHN? (I was born in Dallas, and spent many years there when stationed in the military.)
Let's see, have I been to Texas? Well, yes, Adam, I have. I've been there and lived there. Houston, where I gave birth to a daughter. Andrews, way out west in the oil country, where I spent the first part of my second marriage. Pampa, where my kids and I spent a good part of the summer with my sister and her husband, way up, north of Amarillo. Been all over the state, east to west and north to south, including down to Ft. Davis and on to Big Bend for vacations. The last time I made it into Texas, it was 2011.
By the way, I know some pretty cool people from Texas. They aren't all meathead cowboys. They find the mhcb's and g's kind of bewildering at times. Texas, the only place I've lived where a horse can drop dead in your front yard and the city tell you that even though it's not your horse, you gotta get the thing disposed of because it died just outside of the city right of way.
