  Cold:

  Yep, I would heed the advice given to you by the other great posters on your thread. Causing a scene would only serve to spoil your aunt's (hopefully) beautiful day, and at the same time tarnish your reputation even more. Make the JWs in your family uncomfortable, though. Go to the wedding. Be kind, caring, loving, and of course, positive as a Zig Ziggler seminar. The only way that Bobsgirl and I have found some peace in our difficult JW relative situation is to be as up and positive about the religious silliness they spout as we can be. Refuse to discuss theology, like the plague. tell them, if you must, that you have made your choice, they have made theirs, and both of you won't know who is right until it's too late to do anything about it. This tactful rejoinder usually stops zealots in their tracks. Maybe consider buying Crisus of Consious as a wedding gift. If presents are going to be opened at the reception, or at the KH, however, you may want to give an IOU, and send the book when they return from their honeymoon. It would be a shame to see a book burning after the cake cutting.

  Yep, I must agree, Job" is one of Heinlein's best. It really does show you how people can be sucked in to a way of thinking, and how whole societys are shaped by that thinking. Soberring. Funnny. Cool! Now I want to read it once again. Makes me think of another Heinlein book worth a read. "The Number of the Beast", also super and thought provoking.

  So, Joseph malik has some views on the bible that you disagree with. I get it, but, dang, look up concise in that Websters you have before you post on the matter again. Pleas! Pretty please! I need to stay up late tonight, and this post alone equaled about 2 extra-strength tylonall PMs. BTW, could someone tell Joseph that he nedant let blindness stop him from reading the board/accessing the computer. I happen to be totally blind, and I use a program called JAWS, and it's integrated Speech synthisiss softwear called Eloquence, to read computer text to me. I can read any webpage that has text, and use almost any computer program, except huge graphically rich games, boohoo, boohoo! But seriously, it's quite cool, and may make his life easier. Have him check out www.freedomscientific.com for more information on JAWS, and other products they make which might be helpful.

  D8ta:
  Agreed. I love watching our freedoms slip between our fingers. "You have a democracy, if you can keep it", don't those words ring true today.

  Freedom97:
  Sure folks who live in the US have it good, but, really not much better than anywhere else in the developed world. Canada, Australia, NZ, the U.K., plus all of the scandanavian countries, all of western Europe, and even Costa Rica, have an equal or higher standard of living to that which we enjoy here in the states. You say
  The fact is we have many freedoms that most don't on this planet -- and this is true, but only most, certainly not all. If the freedom that I love slips farther away and the states become more of a police state, I'll move. I'm not saying it wouldn't be hard, but, I'd be just as happy to live in San Jose, CA as I would be to live in San Jose CR. The neat thing is that even the climate between the two San joses is nearly identical.

  Did Jesus Die on a Cross or Stake

  i have been research the topic of how christ died and have read many articles (most interesting of them was at the url http://www.freeminds.org/doctrine/cross.htm) which indicate that he died on a cross, so i contacted the wt and they told me to look at vine's expository dictionary of new testament words, and this is what i found.

  topic: cross, crucify

  is race really a valid concept or is it more of an arbitrary distinction based more on skin tone and/or culture?

  The latest scientific word on the race questionn is that genetically there is absolutely no difference between the races. This is really fresh news -- within the last few weeks -- and if you do a google search on the topic, you are sure to find something.

  What if............

  by freedom96 in

  2. friends

  the wts always taught that there is absolutely no life anywhere in the universe except here on earth..

  because the bible doesn't talk about it, therfore it don't exist.. seems to me that is rather poor logic.

  i was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who is spiritually minded.

  Exactly! You shouldn't be surprised, though, its not like mankind has established a great track record in the huberous department or anything. <grin>
  I've always thought it odd how as a species we under estimate our abilities and achievements and at the same time inflate them almost to bursting. We will make rediculous claims like "we're alone in the Universe" or "inteligence could only evolve on earth" as if to say, we're somehow favored beings. Countering this extreme is the notion that we will destroy ourselves, that we are somehow worthy of God's wrath, that we are natures equivalent to satan spawn, etc., etc.

  As a species, not to mension as individuals, we are unique, yes, how true, but life isn't unique. It can't be. If this little planet we call Earth is truely alone, a freek occurrence in an otherwise stayrel universe, the obvious question "What's the bloody point?" would resoundacross the land.

  We are living in an age where in astronomers have discovered literally hundreds of extra solar worlds -- those bodies orbiting stars outside of our solar system. These discoveries strengthen current theorys of how solar systems form, and demonstrate that the conditions favorable for the creation of life in our solar system are not unique.<p class="editedBy">Edited by - aluminutty on 16 January 1776, 1:6:22</p>
