  Question for those who believe the bible.

  by seven006 in

  2. beliefs

  a thread started by realist which mentioned the flood and the disappearance of the dinosaurs got me thinking.

  since i do not own a bible i had to download one from the internet to check a few things out (my computer is really pissed at me now).

  it's been many years since i read the bible but i needed to be accurate in my research to ask my question.

  Is Anyone a Pantheist ?

  by LucidSky in

  2. friends

  is anyone a pantheist ?.

  in my search for the meaning of life, it has been only a month or two since i've actually become agnostic.

  my reason for the final rejection of christianity was that i could not believe a god of love, justice and wisdom would create a world that along with life/pleasure would also foster death/suffering for seemingly infinite numbers of innocent and not-so-innocent beings.

  Do the Witnesses "manipulate" recruits?

  by refiners fire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do they "mystically manipulate"people joining them?.

  im inclined to say they dont.. they are almost unique in this.. practically every cult ive joined, i could recite a litany of manipulation techniques applied to me during my joining process.. the dubs study with people, systematically, unemotionally.. noone else does this in my experience.. people who join the dubs join under "intellectual conviction".. do you agree with this view or not??.

  im most curious to hear opinions on this.
