  The Atheist's Book of Bible Stories - Ch. 9 - Righteousness

  righteousness

  throughout history, people have tried to live up to gods righteous standards, so as to gain his approval.

  the bible holds up many shining examples of persons who pleased god.

  This conjures up a disquieting mental image. Picture David, or one of his attendants slicing the foreskins off of 200 dead bodies. Better yet, imagine yourself as the person assigned by David to do this job. All of a sudden, cleaning tables at Burger King doesn’t look like such a bad job.

  Iiiiirk!

  Paying for the pioneer

  by Thegoodgirl in

  1. jw

  hi guys, let me get your opinion on this:.

  my mom's a pioneer, so she scrapes by on little money, refuses to work overtime, and tries to even survive on part time entry level work.

  she can survive, but when it comes to getting appliances fixed, going on vacation, buying new clothes, she has to rely on others gifts and donations to her.. i want her to come visit me, and i need to pay for her ticket.

  I think the point is WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

  From there on, it's downhill.

  If you really want to see her, go for it.

  If you are more interested in showing who's right, don't pay.

  Anyway, it bothers me that your husband doesn't approve of it. That's more important than enabling her lifestyle or not.

  MHO, anyway.

  When Jehovah's Witnesses do bad - Are criticisms of JW's valid? Part I

  by rambaldi in

  2. friends

  when we see news reports of jehovahs witnesses who are reported to have done something bad, what do we think?

  sometimes people ridicule us for that.

  obey and become his special property, disobey and be rejected.

  Can you control your dreams?

  by ButtLight in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years and years i have been able to wake up in the middle of a dream, and go back to it right where i left off.

  if its a good one, that i didnt want to leave, i think about it, fall back asleep, and im back in!

  or, like the other night, i was mad at my bf in my dream.

  The classicist

  I hate that sometimes when I'm starting to fall asleep, I feel like I'm falling and then wake up. Anyone get that?

  I read once that this is a reflex from the times when our ancestors slept in trees. It was important to avoid falling from them.

  I am able to lucid dream, provided I spend some days preparing myself to do it. Anyway, it doesn't mean CONTROL over dreams, because I can't elicit a dream whenever I feel like. What is possible (to me) is to randomly become aware in the middle of dreams, and then have some control over it (like flying or changing the subject of the dream, materializing objects...)

  Now that you are out, do you have a WANDERING EYE?

  by zagor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after many years of repression do you now find hard to restrain you natural feelings?

  it doesnt have to be wrong as one cousin told me, you admire beauty of the sunset, the song of birds; you appreciate exotic meal and equally you can now more appreciate the natural beauty of opposite sex.

  reason why im asking is because today ive met a dub from my former congdubgration who immediately assumed i was "immoral".

  Many explanations given at www.tektoniks are downright laughable...
