DY-NO-MITE!

c.t.russell began with a personal "purpose" which was to find a way to believe in/worship god while doing away with the beliefs he found to be personally uncomfortable such as hellfire.
he shopped around and cherry picked 2nd adventist views as a foundation.
to this he added pyramidology.

i've struggled with trying to believe in a god since i left the fold.
i've been indoctrinated by dubizm for most of my life and more and more it all seems pretty incredulous.
the latest lady liberty post about adam caused a lightbulb to go off...and i know you'll let me know if i'm wrong in my assessment.. all my life i've heard, "god cannot tell a lie" and "the bible is true.
lovelylil,
Thank you for your thoughts...but it seems that God has given us a possibly mis-translated book with convoluted information, interpreted by mis-guided modern day prophets. And if we don't understand what it's all about we are going to be mass murdered at Big "A"...or go to Hell...or whatever.
It just seems He could have been a little clearer. I mean afterall He is God and He knows how puny our brains are and how imperfect we are. Who knows what is literal and what is not. What with talking donkeys & bushes, witches and a servant of God offering his daughters up to rapists. It would take several human lifetimes for a person with a Phd to get an understanding of all the meanings that may or may not be involved, the translations, mis-translations and fine nuances involved. I guess I am just overwhelmed. Usually this is where the "christian" comes along and says, "well all you really need is faith."

Sirona...I think you've probably nailed it. I think it's an individual thing. (I haven't investigated much else yet. The Dubs do a great job of trashing just about everyone) Some people (maybe me too) need a structured belief...others like my atheist girlfriend has very high ethical standards and doesn't believe in a "higher" power. A lot of it is probably how we were raised. The imprint left in our young minds. I believe people born into Dubs or other cults have more of a struggle.
Gopher...thanks. I might just try that...beats the hell outa poison and smoke bombs.

Gopher,
Exactly. The Dubs trust a book that was basically entrusted to their arch-enemies...The Catholics. By the way I have some of your family living in my lawn...can you tell me how to get rid of them? Thanks

Jeannie & Robdar,
Thanks and I am considering all options at this time. It's just frustrating when you are born into something. You always think your parents are right so it's doubly rough when you discover they were wrong about everything and you're starting over trying to grab onto something in mid-life. I think I'm gonna with the "eating, drinking and doing Merry" approach...at least for now.

All my life I've heard, "God cannot tell a lie" and "The Bible is TRUE." Well it is my understanding that God created Adam first and then because of Adam's "loneliness" HE created Eve.
Well, what is a Man? As opposed to a Woman? It's his sex organs. If Adam was created a Man that means he had sex organs. What the hell was he supposed to do with them unless God had meant to create Woman all along? Does that make sense? It's still early in California?
Or God foresaw what was going to happen...but according to Dubizm, God turns off the foresight, right?

we live in a time that basically loyalty has become a price tag.
if someone you know, does something famous or becomes famous, it is only a matter of how much your price would be to actually cash in on your connection.
time and time again, famous people have been burned by close friends and seen their personal information all over the tabloids monthly.
Whether he's gay or not I don't know and I don't care...however....
...he did incriminate himself as a disgusting old man. Remember when he said he wasn't signaling anyone with his hand under the stall? He said, "I was just trying to pick up a piece of paper off the floor."
WHO THE HELL PICKS UP PAPER OFF THE FLOOR, IN THE STALL OF A PUBLIC RESTROOM? If he wasn't signaling then he sure as hell is one piece of crap, germ-infested old creep. I sure as hell wouldn't wanna shake his hand.

clam brought up the subject of "sell by dates" on food.
so maybe the wbts should date all their "spiritual" food.
if they'd only done that with 1975...and think of all the other "food" that's out there but is spoiled and no longer edible by the flock?
