and i'm a little scared.. yes they are ready to come out.

my thumb pad is tingly and burning.

the skin around the stitches is numb.. with the injury being so bad, it is going to take at least a year for my thumb to be 90% recovered.

As a child I once got my nail ripped from its nail bed when my finger was in the door crack. Ouch!

Why did God permit Scriptures to be corrupted?

by economy in

if someone informs you that your shop caught fire, and firefighters are on the job, you will run to the spot.

however, if you had already sold that property on the previous day (which this messenger is ignorant of), you are likely to respond, saying: shop is not mine..

situation is same with god.

Why are the Brahma Kumaris so intent on posting here? It's doubtful that it would be worth the effort.

Question for atheists and nonbelievers

by pressman in

i profess to teach the truth to you all and get you to all to think and believe.

believing in christ through his words and not through evil religious cults, like hoj and jw, can and will save you.

do you all realize that every time you are victorious and receive something of value through your hard work and sweat, it was our holy god who blessed you.

Pressman, when I read your title about asking atheists a question I was expecting you to do so in a few sentences. Instead you gave us a long winded, poorly paragraphed and insulting post.

Having Faith in the Bible

by william draper in

i know many on here have lost faith in the bible , is it possible that is because ones do not have the right perspective regarding it .

we have usually been taught by bad teachers , or ignorant .

i believe if we take an honest look at the bible , we will see that it gives us the best answers to crucial matters , it gives us some amount of bearings ( understanding ) , which without having such knowledge we would all be more like walking zombies in amanner of speaking , we would be lacking hope in something better , for surely something better is to come , how can we be sure , .

william draper,

"...we allow so much corruption in our society , and then we look at God and say . . . we don't like what you do..."

Which simply means that we and our imagined god both have a problem. Isn't your god supposed to be perfect unlike us?

William draper,

"...condemning everything in it , because of some things that are not understood or appreciated ."

Actually it is those things which are clearly understood about the Bible that brings it condemnation. My list above provides examples.

sparrowdown,

"...their brain still be ok..."

But most scientists, like the rest of us, need to have use of our arms and fingers to do any research. There may be exceptions like Stephen Hawking but without the ability to direct input to computers, papers, etc. they are not going to be very useful.

How do stop myself getting too Bitter?

by stuckinarut2 in

you know, i always maintained that during this fading process, and while learning ttatt, i would not let myself get "bitter twisted and angry".... but, in all honesty, if i examine myself, i have become quite bitter toward the org, toward the false friends and the gb.. i have become angry as i see the extent of damage i feel being raised in "the truth" has done.... i feel hurt towards the lost opportunities in life etc.... how do i not allow myself to get too swallowed up by such bitterness?.

i have always been a very happy, positive, selfless person.

i can put people at ease, i am someone people feel comfortable chatting to.

Bitterness should be seen as a natural, understandable reaction without any need to apologize for it. It shouldn't be allowed to swallow you up but it still serves an emotional purpose.
