  What is truth?

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  There IS another option: an impersonal God, and "truth" would be that which must always be present and never changes. An impersonal God would be within everything and everyone so that anyone could know its presence within themselves. Being impersonal and ever present it wouldn't require worship, obedience, praise, ritual, prayer, supplication to be known, and wouldn't care one bit whether anyone believe in it or not. All of those things are characteristic of a personal God, a God created in the image of man.

  An impersonal God wouldn't "dictate" its thoughts to others to be turned into "holy" books which in turn would end up separating people from one another because of different beliefs about God, but would simply be present in a way that was undeniable if one was attuned to where and how to look for it. Knowing an impersonal God would reveal the unity of all existence rather than emphasize the differences among humanity. So "truth" would be that which is within YOU that is alive and ever present, and if it was discovered it would change how one viewed oneself as well as the world. It would be the healing agent of what is viewed in separation by the human mind because it would reveal the inherent unity of all existence.

  i'm wondering what sort of biking shoes and pedals you are using.

  i'm a road biker, so i enjoy speed and distance riding, and am upgrading my shoes and pedals.

  anyone have experience with specialized road shoes with the boa stem?

  Welcome to the forum, BetterGuyNow. It's always a pleasure to hear from another biker. I'm very happy with my Specialized shoes with the Boa system, and Shimano SPD 105 pedals. It's a definite upgrade from what I had. I'm already thinking about my next upgrade. I'm thinking about replacing my bearings with ceramic ones. I'd love to hear from anyone who has ceramic bearings.

  I simply cannot decipher most of what she is saying with my hearing problems, her accent, tone of voice, and laughter while talking. Some voices just don't register with me with any sort of clarity. Hers is one of them. Another is the actress playing Bernadette on Big Bang Theory.

  A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.

  by punkofnice in

  2. current

  as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.

  later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.

  we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

  the date passed by already, so i will mention the silly rumor that was going around.

  this is freaking hilarious.

  the rumor is a gullibility joke where it is hoped that the reader fails to remember that this holiday observance is on the fixed date of october 31st.
