That is so cool, the Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of my favorites of his, I had no idea they were making it into a movie. I hope they do a good job with it, that could be an excellent flick.

defd, three sincere questions

by OldSoul in

defd,.

on page 146 of what does the bible really teach?, the opening sentence of paragraph 6 purports to represent one of the six criteria for determining the true religion.

it reads: "god's servants base their teachings on the bible.".

Derrick is no different than many people that subscribe to any religion (as most here feel that all religions are a load of crap), most know if they are honest their faith has issues, questions that can't be answered well, etc. but they get what they need out of it and are happy. Nothing wrong with that I say, unless it is causing them some personal pain or causing them to hurt someone else.

I had go arounds with my wife when we first met as she was/is Catholic, and though I left the borg I by training I thought the Catholic church was just the worst. So I would get into discussions with her attacking some of the Catholic beliefs as I was taught growing up in the hall until one day she told me in no uncertain terms that she was happy with being a Catholic, she realized the church had problems but she was okay with them and would appreciate if I would shut the hell up unless I had something better to offer her, which some would say being agnostic or atheist is "better" but I really don't so I shut the hell up.

I think its great to discuss beliefs and doctrine, but at the end of the day if it makes sense to you then go with it.

For DEFD, discussing my "bad" avatar

by wanderlustguy in

ok, defd brings up a point that has been mentioned to me for a second time now, so i ask the question, should i change my avatar?.

when i first came here, and figured out how much i was really lied to, it was as simple as a guy flipping off the society.. .

to those who don't know, it is johnny cash.

Big Dog

WLG, love the avatar, don't change it unless you want to. There is enough censorship, a little free expression is a good thing.

JW kids and the national anthem humiliation......

by kid-A in

for me, school was extremely stressful as a jw kid.

the worst part had to be my morning dose of humiliation being forced to walk out of the room as the national anthem came on the loudspeakers (first god save the queen, then, oh canada).

the other kids found this completely bizarre, and several of my "patriotic" minded teachers really resented me for doing this (despite the obvious fact i had no choice in the matter but was being forced into this by my parents).. how could anybody force this public humiliation on a small child or teen-ager, already having to deal with the normal stresses of growing up and worrying about their public image with their peers???

Big Dog

Don't even get me started on this crap. God I hate the WBTS and the GB for warping my childhood. Where is 144001, he comes up with the coolest things to do to the GB, like giving them a 1000 paper cuts then dipping them in a vat of lemon juice, or drowning them in a tub of vomit. Nothing would be too loathesome for what those freaks did to my childhood.
