So Truth is what God says is true, the Bible IS God's word, therefore the Bible is true. Don'tcha just love the logic of it? To question that ya gotta be crazy, right?

Very good apologetics for honest seekers
by Shining One inare you tired of the arrogant assertions of the elite ex-jw clique here?
here is some powerful ammunition to "demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of god"!

Christianity on the threat of DEATH..
by GetBusyLiving inif someone held a gun to your head and threatened to blow your brains out unless you worshiped jesus and went to church, which christian church would you choose?
no pansy churches like the unitarians though.
it has to be a fundamentalist denomination.

From Sara Annie:
"But when you take that fear out of the equation, when you remove the idea that the only purpose of your life is to gamble everything on the idea that paradise awaits if you can just toil through this miserable existence, you can start to appreciate what it means to be alive right now. You might start to see that today, this moment, is the prize. That it is more important and valuable than what might be waiting out there someday if you only suffer enough to get there.
"And if you feel that freedom, if you learn that toiling and suffering just for the promise that it will all end one day, you start to see how all that fear has made you ignore the here and now. You just might decide that all that fear simply isn't worth it, and let it go.
"And if you do that, if you realize that you don't have to buy into the fear they've been selling, they've lost you--and they can't afford to lose you."
To Sara Annie: sounds like you are onto something truly life altering. Please post more of such thinking.

I can't stand being "behooved". Can you say it without resorting to such phony language?

Anyone had lithotripsy?
by avishai ini'm going in tomorrow to have a kidney stone blasted.

any one know?

I had it 5 years ago. I was put under anesthesia so I didn't know what was going on; afterwards, I was sore where the machine was localized on my body, but it was nothing really uncomfortable. As for passing the stones afterwards I had no trouble at all.
I've had kidney stones twice now, the first time I passed it on my own, the second required lithotripsy. Good luck, and keep up your fluid intake henceforth - I learned my lesson the hard way.

Just Accept it!!!
by Shining One inhere's a quote from the scientific community about the consciousness: just accept it!
"those things in a way didn't need to evolve," said chalmers.
"they were part of the fundamental furniture of the world all along.

In order to truly know ALL about something you have to be totally separate from that thing which is being studied so that it could be examined from every conceivable angle. Now, what would do the studying of consciousness except consciousness itself? In order to examine anything one must rely on consciousness - just try to escape it if you can. How would you know if you were successful at escaping it if not for consciousness? Can consciousness be separate from anything, let alone itself? If consciousness could be separate from itself how would it be studied/theorized about? Isn't studying/theorizing simply a form of the formless pure primordial consciousness - consciousness as waves or ripples arising out of the ocean of formless consciousness?
So, I can see how it must be simply accepted because there is no possible way to know it truly. On the other hand you can BE it consciously. -

Raisin Bran with sliced banana, strawberries, and blueberries on top (when in season), with soy milk instead of regular milk. Gotta keep the skids greased!
