  he had a human father.. all those doctrines of redemption, ransom and forgiveness come to nothing in the face of reality.

  Fisherman, I'm not saying this out of disrespect but you should consider seeing a doctor if you don't already.

  Fisherman, no disrespect but your Portuguese saying is incomprehensible. Perhaps English is your second language so please explain what it means.

  cofty, Paul was a self-convert who probably was having an epileptic seizure when he fell off his horse and heard 'Jesus' voice. His concept of Jesus was a different one than that of other Christians. He probably couldn't care less about Jesus' historicity and ignored whatever written materials ("Q"?) or oral traditions preceded the Gospels during and before his writing of the epistles.

  so the fade is progressing well.... however, it has been noticed by the 'hounders', who i know will be "following up" with us soon i'm sure.. so i have thought of a way of shutting down the questions etc.... if they ask about things like meeting attendance and field activity, i am going to say something like:.

  "oh, thanks for your interest and concern brothers.

  this means a lot.

  You must feel loved to have hounders looking after your spiritual health. Others get a single visit after 10 years of non attendance or none at all.

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  whathehadas, If it happens once a week like it seems to be (and that doesn't include the incidents that aren't covered by the media) then it should be thought of as all the time. And I'm including all races and not just shootings but body slamming, which seems to be a favorite of police, and other forms of beatings. I have seen at least a dozen videos in the past few months.

  As for your not being pulled over let me ask you, what type of neighborhood do you live in and how new is your car?

  Saw my first JW literature cart

  i saw a jw literature cart, and two dubs standing behind it this weekend.

  they set up at a popular well attended event in a small town that brings thousands of people from around the country.

  even though i've been out and away from jws for some time, and no longer identify as one of them, and the people i was with had no clue, it was a bit embarrassing to see the cart and cult zombies with it.

  Be sure to give them a copy and see if they pick up on the irony.

  cofty, "I'm not convinced he even existed."

  Religions like Christianity don't spontaneously create themselves but are started by a charismatic figure who forms a nucleus for a new movement. Then when the leader dies his followers shape the religion into whatever form they want even deifying their founder.

  Why should Christianity be any different than Islam started by Mohammed or Zoroastrianism started by Zarathustra?

  nicolaou, "If Jesus couldn't even be honest about who he was what moral authority can be ascribed to him?"

  Maybe he wasn't told what his parentage was.

  wathehadas, "I know injustice happens sometimes and there is racial profiling."

  No, it is not sometimes, it is all the time. Trying to understate the situation by giving the "some are bad apples but the majority..." excuse is not going to fool those who are at the wrong end of a baton.
