Re: How do I hear/feel God?
Believe you can and you will
A rather sublime concept actually imo
this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.
i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

i am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.
but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.
i have pity for you all.. .
You lie. You weep for nobody as your glazed eyes sweep the terrain you fear to tread from your ivory tower.
so i was looking back at my (rather short) life thusfar.
usually people will talk about their glory days.
usually it is high school or college.
Yes, do get the funk out
Vague references to late 80s hair metal bands notwithstanding
i am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.
especially hellfire.
i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.
OP
This is all a dream. Everthing you think you know may be incorrect. You may then realize that this never changes
Then again maybe not.
As for immortality, everything that has a beginning has an end.
ok, today i was invited to go my favorite local radio station (94.7 sacramento) and record some stuff about my favorite playlist.
i had submitted this list about a month ago and got the call on monday to come on down to the radio station.
i took my hubby, got to meet the dj (a very cool and nice guy indeed) and just had a very nice time.
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
Perfect Strangers - Deep Purple
The Distance - Cake
Coast to Coast - Elliott Smith
Midnight in a Perfect World - DJ Shadow
Useless - Depeche Mode (Kruder & Dorfmeister mix)
Satellite - BT
i have a friend that calls witness, jovies in a very deriding way.
"i saw the jovies in the street....haha".
personally, i don't think it's very nice or even mature.... but what do i know?.
I call 'em jojo's sometimes. The odd joke at the pub or at work.
in my previous post i mentioned that i'm staying in the org because i think i got a sign from god...some of you asked a lot of questions about my sign and even shared the society's view on asking for signs which i didn't know.. i didn't disclose exactly what the sign was.. some of you asked me what it was and even stated that i know that you all would pick apart and prove that my sign was just a frivolous excuse to hold on to the org.. maybe you were right.. so i've decided to tell you all exactly what it was---no embellishments or exaggerations.
i would love to hear your opinions since i'm still in a terrible mess.sometimes i'm 100% this is not the truth then other times i'm 60%....i feel if god was giving me a sign i'd be 100% this is the truth you know?.
so i woke up that morning and organized to go meeting.
Coincidence. You're counting one hit. How many questions have had misses i.e. no "answer"?
Would you base your life's direction on one affirmative instance of good timing, ignoring everything else?
People have doubts all the time. Church instills faith, hope and allays doubt. You chose to go to church. The conclusion is self evident, ;)
thinking about the number of atheist v ag/tec/fhn/sab threads (hehe - i'm only yanking your chains!
) and i thought i should make an effort to look at and discuss the rest of the rainbow.
atheism does not define my influencing primary worldview though you'd be hard pressed to see that from my posts.. i'd be interested in what philosphy , idea, rule(s) most influence you and why - why do you feel they are superior, what do they make you value more or less , what would you be without your philosophy.
Middle way from buddhism in the daily life. Nihilism in deep thoughts.
I like the cut of yer jib, lol
okay, so far no one has posted anything about photography on this forum.
so what do you guys and gals think about digital vs 35mm?.
i use to do a little shutter bugging myself.
Optics are expensive. I deal with lensing for projectors/video cameras and the costs can be huge, especially for specialty glass. However you're dealing with a precision instrument with fine tolerances, so yea...
Not a shooter of stills but I do enjoy good composition in a shot. There's definitely an art to it.
apostates are desperately looking for a meme-.
from sparlock to candace conti, nobody knows what your next meme would be, you guys should really seek professional help, cos it doesnt make any sense.. .

What would make sense to you, Mr Facts?
