Re: So, I had a thought about wicked spirits lately.
Were any of them Jack Daniels?
the whole reason i even got dragged into this jw stuff, and we didn't just become somebody's return visit they never came back on, is because my mom claimed that the demons were talking to her.
they told her that the jws knew the truth about them, so she called the local kingdom hall.
bible study was started, and that was that.

i just read about a couple who crush smaller animals, bind them, blind them, cut their legs off and squish them for----sexual arousal.. how disgusting!.

i've stumbled across a most creative artful photography, placing jesus in contemporary scenarios.. http://www.thejourneysproject.com/c-294-fine-christian-art.aspx.
for a mere $1,000 i too, could have jesus working his makeover in my bedroom.
ooh, la la.. i am having strong and mixed reactions to this work, and i welcome your input..
What would Willem Dafoe say in such a situation?
lol

Perhaps I am overreacting to my local Christian store - the epicentre of bourgeois mediocrity.
Ya know, Band, yer alright...
Art is subjective. i'm not into the subject here. 'nuff said :)
PS why does Elvis have the backlighting in the pic above and ever loving Jesus has nothing? Did somebody forget to give Jesus his mark? Inconceivable.
either in your neighborhood, in the ministry, on vacation?

No, I have no desire to talk to those who have god on their side. It's a complete waste of time on my part.
This assumes I know they are JW and that the topic is belief. Otherwise, I have no more or no less reason to behave any differently for them than any other.

i do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.
I know that hindus and buddhists (maybe not all) generally believe that other religions also lead to god
From what I know of eastern beliefs, this tends to be true. I find it much more appealing in the sense that no person or belief system is exclusively "true" yet all seem to approach the same place/thing via different paths. Only the method differs.

No, I'm not worried one bit
both claim to be the sole path to god (or did at some point ).
both claim to reach back to first century christians ,( though jw`s are a bit ambiguous about this).
the r.c church has a pope , the j.w.`s have a governing body ,both providing spiritual food to the faithful.
Paging Sulla...
when asked who was the wisest man, socrates said, "i know one thing, that i know nothing".. i can definitely say that what i thought was immutable truth 25 years ago is not what i now believe.
the older i get, the less certain i am of what is definitely true.. ageing and life experience teaches us in the end that we really know nothing.
life is very humbling.. do you agree with socrates?.
to know you know nothing is to know something
one cannot know nothing

Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, Coen Brothers come immediately to mind as directors I look out for
Yea, Danny Boyle, he's good. Chris Nolan too.
