just curious, has anyone ever dealt with a gaming addiction or had someone they love that is addicted to online gaming?
(world of warcraft in particular) how did you handle it?.
Drwtsn,
I think that is exactly right. When something is so consuming that it causes problems in your family life or personal life then it is an addiction, even if it were tv.
I wish it were just as simple as getting rid of the computer or stopping the service. It is much more complicated than that.

My husband plays and it has gotten more and more consuming. It is starting to affect every aspect of our lives and I don't even think he realizes it.

it has been a while since i last posted here.
i thought i was past a lot of the jw / religion stuff but apparently i'm not.
i thought i would list the many things that have been going through my head lately regarding the idea of a higher power.
I don't know if it is okay to "bump" but I'm "bumping" this thread. I'm sure there are several other thoughts on this matter.

Thanks! I will look over those this evening or tomorrow. :)

OTWO,
I hadn't ever considered not having "the ability to do something about it." That is something to think about.
You have certainly summed up my feelings about a God that allows those awful things. If he destroyed the "wicked" at the flood why could he have not just destroyed the "wicked" Adam and Eve and started fresh if he so desired. Doesn't make sense.
Wow, I have a headache now.... hehe, probably just work but I'm sure contemplating the existence of an almight God doesn't help a work related headache..... :)

Chris,
Thank you for that response. It has been a while. I hope you and Nina are both doing well.
I appreciate knowing that someone else wonders about this and doesn't just dismiss the questions.
As for those with faith, yes I envy those that I feel have true and undeniable faith. There aren't many that I feel are genuine but those that are have a comfort that I will most likely never know.

AllTimeJeff,
Wow, that is a lot to digest. So much of that hit me as true. I can see myself leaving Stage II and entering Stage III but fearfully, sometimes returning to the old feelings / beliefs of Stage II.
I kind of wonder if JW children don't skip Stage I. Sitting with their parents from birth at the meetings they have the JW mentality crammed into their heads brainwashing them.
A lot to think about. Thank you for that link.

Something else I was thinking about on my way to work this morning. Every time something good happens someone will say "That was a blessing from God" but if something bad happens then God has His purpose.
Does this bother anyone else?

Ziddina,
I guess you are going to have to simplify your religon timelines for me. Where do those years come from? This is going to sound silly and please excuse my ignorance but I thought the beginning of man came with the beginning of the God of the Bible. ????
I guess I'm not really wondering why some people get sick while others don't. I have pretty much decided that if there is a God, he does not directly cause the illnesses but indirectly does by allowing imperfection to come into existance with the human race.
Thank you for the thought that you put into your response.
Desi
