The small group of evangelical atheists here display many (not of course all) of the characteristics of the JW's that many of them once were - Chariklo

I think this is a huge generalization and completely inaccurate these sort of comments are just going to cause more bad feeling. I think this thread needs to get back on track, it was started with good intentions and there has been some excellent posts, it's a shame some people cannot let things go and move on.

by AGuest in

jw

are humans really getting dumber (may you all have peace)?

there have many positions on this for both sides.

saw an announcement on the news this morning and was intrigued: could it be true?

Char: Regarding the us and them comment. It seems everyone here is being pretty respectful and trying to understand each other. Can you set it aside for a while?

Excellent comment - things seem to be back on topic can we keep it that way everyone

"He who loves me will OBEY my commandments...

by AGuest in

to the household of god, israel, that is on jw.com, and all those who 'got with' them:.

may you have peace!.

because israel has, at this 'season' fallen asleep with regard to many 'things' that our lord, the son of god, jah-eshua mischa-jah ("jah saves"; messiah - "chosen of jah"), 'commanded' us to teach others (matthew 28:20), i am compelled by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies (psalm 68:4), that is in me, by means of my lord, to remind israel of one of such commandments.. on the night that he was put to death in the flesh, our lord gave a commandment, to which he stated "keep doing this in remembrance of me.

Christ's 'silence' on slavery.

by tec in

jw

one of the accusations against christ that some people make to me from time to time is that christ never spoke out against slavery, and so he must condone it.. i would submit that slavery (the forcible enslaving of your fellow man)... is not the root problem.

it is merely a symptom of the root problem.

christ came to deal with the root.

Angharad

I only speak for me, but I *think* a large portion of the community don't want you, me, NC, Sab, Shamus, Mrs. J, Elaine, CA, KS, SBF, Tec, Shelby, Cedars, Outlaw, Moshe, WT Wizard or anyone else banned.

My comment earlier was based on Palm saying NC was about to get deleted because a "believer" was out to get her, that is what I wanted her to backup - why would the whole list above suddently be in danger of being banned. People are banned based on their actions, nothing else that is the point here.

She'll be banned next.

The "believers" are making sure of it.

Oh really, care to back that statement up Palm?

i didn't know eric particularly well, and i feel terrible that i didn't reach out to him more or try to help him while i still had the opportunity.. i feel extremely helpless, but the least i can do is help others remember him who knew him better.. here is a video i've uploaded to youtube in his honor.... .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a0imd6dng.

i hope it helps us as we mourn a much-loved member of this forum.. .

Angharad

Seriously how hard is it to keep on topic and not start thowing insults around. This thread is about Eric and people remembering him, if you have a problem with someone or how they express themselves take it to PM
