  How can we know there is a God?

  by defd in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one way to determine whether there is a god is to apply this well-established principle: what is made requires a maker.

  the more complicated the thing made, the more capable the maker must be.. for example, look around your home.

  tables, chairs, desks, beds, pots, pans, plates, and other eating utensils all require a maker, as do walls, floors, and ceilings.

  That's cool if you believe it, just lots of people believe something different than you do.

  Yes you can make a compelling arguement for some sort of designer, and you can make a compelling arguement against, at this point as far as I can see, no one "knows".

  Defd is no different from most that I see in any religion. You have the hardcore followers and those that are a little less strict and so on out to the fringes. The biggest difference is most don't belong to an end of the world cult that tears up families, kills people with refusing blood transfusions, and meddles in peoples lives with often horrific results. In the other religions virtue is its own reward for the hardcore, there are no witchhunts and star chamber procedings which is as it should be.

  EX JWs - What planted the seed in your mind?

  by jstalin in

  i'm interested in finding out what planted the seed in your mind that got you started on questioning the watchtower.

  what issue, event, or idea started you on the path to rejecting the watchtower?

  and while we're at it, what event was the straw that broke the camel's back, that pushed you over the edge to finally quitting the organization?

  Hated it right out of the gates as a child for jacking my childhood. Then as I got older I started to examine the doctrine and that was all she wrote.

  HOTEL CALIFORNIA...and beyond

  by tijkmo in

  i was travelling at the weekend and decided to put the eagles hotel california in the cd player...i have always liked this album but due to my recent music studies i listened to it in a different light...we have been discussing the importance of presentation aswell as good music...and it struck me that this cd has it all...proper balance, the right mix of guitar and keyboard, of heavy and light, of rock and acoustic, great ballads, great lyrics, and great vocals and harmonies, great opening, brilliant ending fade-out.... and all done without drugs.

  so whats your favorite eagles top 5. mine are in this order..... no 5.....new kid in town.

  no 4.....the sad cafe.
