Watersprout,
I said you got riled up. I didn't say you were spiteful. I said people on both sides can be either nice or rude. Please re-read my post.
So the tone of the people that agree with you is this: Insulting the watchtower and the JW's is fine. But when you insult another religion or even God. That's not okay.
ASSHOLES! Wah Wah Wah He hurt my feelings!
Anyways, keep on posting!
i was wondering if it's actually possible to define what faith is in a simple, logical, unambiguous way.. .
i have a theory that words which cannot be defined in a simple, logical, unambiguous way do not really mean anything specific, and therefore should probably be avoided.. .
i know there have been books written on this subject, but i think that anyone who has to write an entire book to define a simple word like faith, does not really understand what it means.. .
It takes .001 seconds for a nerve impulse to travel to your brain. If you instantly die, I can only guarantee you will be alive for the next .001 seconds. After that is faith.

Faith is a type of perception of reality. Perception changes, but reality is a constant.
i posted a serious video today and it seems that people are not interested.
it's friday!!!!!
(as valid as any reason.).
LOL Looks like this thread failed. It needs more COWBELL!
...and therefore had to start from scratch, do you think you'd arrive at your same current stance on belief or non-belief in god?
why or why not?.
@ Unshackled
Well I think if that's the situation most humans would not go back to Theism, if we the knowledge of the world was still intact. You wouldn't have much influence from your parents.
But of course it's just a hypothesis. No way to test it... or is there?! lol
@watersprout
LOL See how easy it is to ge riled up? So how do you expect everyone to be on their best behavior when they're debating what they believe is true? Both sides are capable of being rude and spiteful.
It's not realistic to want a group of people to express themselves as you would.
But if that's your dream I will respect that but I will critize it.
I think it's more Watchtower like to think everyone should behave YOUR way.
Why complain about something you can avoid? You can avoid reading something you think it's old and boring. I know I do!
this is a forum for fomer jehovah's witnesses.
that is a cult that drills into its members the concept that the political process is evil, delusional, selfish, greedy, and satanic.
it's fascinating to hear so many political naifs express themselves with such certainty and fervor.
This thread reminds me of Penn & Teller's Bullshit episode: Sensitivity Training. LOL
