  Why does God allow people to develop 'forbidden' special powers?

  by SM62 in

  something i have been wondering about lately.. whether you believe in god or not, are a christian or some other religion or no religion at all, i'd be interested in your opinion.. according to those who believe in the bible including most christians, god condemns the use of 'special' powers/abilities.

  for example, esp, tarot, astrology, consulting a medium, spells etc.

  however, if god created us, did he not give us the ability to develop and use such powers?

  Is the idea of immortality in any way possible?

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the traditional christian view of immortality hinges on some form of dualism -- the notion that your consciousness is not dependent on the brain and can survive the dissolution of the body.

  modern science has not found any evidence for this whatsoever.

  it seems rather likely that our consciousness and mental abilities are bound to our brains and their neuronal firings.

  boy gets stuck in animal game machine

  sheboygan, wis. (jan. 5) - a 7-year-old boy had to be rescued with the help of a locksmith saturday after crawling into a supermarket's stuffed animal game machine while his father talked on the telephone.jeffrey roland debbink.

  "he was sitting right in there with the stuffed animals," said shift commander mark zittel of the sheboygan fire department.. he said the boy, whose name was not released because he is a minor, crawled through about an 8-inch-by-10-inch opening to get into the glass enclosure via a chute where the toys come out, but when he tried to get back out his way was blocked.. the stuffed animals are prizes that can be hooked by players with a crane-like device.. "his dad was three feet away at a pay phone," zittel said.

  are cats for true christians?.

  is it appropriate for a christian to own a cat, in light of their past pagan religious affiliation and the medical information that is now coming to light?

  Search for meaning to life?

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  something recently occurred to me that many people, whether former jws or others who faced hardships in life, often look for meaning to life ... specifically a special meaning to their own lives ... i have done that at times, before i became a jw, while a jw, and more so since i left the religion.. i was having a conversation recently with my oldest son who is now 29 years old.

  we discussed the meaning to life and how he sees himself now - in his ex-jw years - given that he was raised a jw.

  he made the following comment i thought some here may find insightful.
