  Nobody has ever had an encounter with Satan, nor with God. Anyway I haven't seen solid proof on it and I'm sure I never will.

  news today, president of kyrgyz (stan) resigns and flees.

  first, ukraine, now kyrgy (stan), are we seeing a sweeping of democracy and change across eastern europe?.

  is democracy itself the "beast" of revelations (and not the united nations)?

  errr oroborus, I haven't been smoking "Jamaican Gold" as you call it and I don't believe in either God or the Devil. I'm well aware of the

  mythical roles given by the bible to god and devil as opposites, good and bad. But that's all what they are to me, mythical personifications

  of good and bad. Morality in my view is a creation of mankind itself and it should be cherished as such, a collective heritage that still grows

  and changes over time.

  If the devil said that to eve then he must know bad and good himself. which implies that he is both bad and good. Just like god. This only leads to one conclusion: The devil = god

  thank god I'm an atheist otherwise this would be very confusing......

  that's hard misstypink, you know most of us here are exjw's or trying to get out of it. Lots of bad experiences. Anyway, I know you're in love which makes this all the more difficult but I would not convert if I were you (which I'm obviously not), instead try to find out if he has any doubts about his religion and go from there. Also there's lot's of information on this site and others about shunning, no blood transfusion policy, and other doctrine. Make sure you read that first before you convert, then you might at least know better what to expect. Good luck!

  Do You Have To Believe In God To Pray?

  by Englishman in

  or does prayer sometimes help us communicate with our own subconscious mind?.

  or maybe we're just acknowledging the power of the universe as a whole?.

  I'm an agnostic atheist, basically I don't believe in god. However sometimes I get the urge to communicate with "yonder", and then it just happens. It feels like my thoughts are heard somewhere far far away and it's very fulfilling.

  they still haven't reinserted the feedingtube, have they? It's shame they want to let her die. She doesn't seem to suffer and she is NOT in a coma, so I can't think of a reason to let her die. Can I (as a foreigner) sign the petition too?
