  Why doesn't anyone hear of the Greeks being offended if the Hellenistic gods are referred to as myths and legends?

  The reason I just can't believe in god

  by jambon1 in

  for the first time in ages though, i actually re-evaluated my position on god/wt.. i had attended a few funerals in the spring and had also reignited some friendships with people from the hall.

  but actually, i just keep going round in circles in my mind.

  i cannot back an organisation with such a flawed past and one that endorses such policies as shunning & blood.

  Stupid answer?

  It seems grammar isn't your strong suite is it?

  So, there will never be an end to evil ?

  As far as I can tell evil may end when you die.

  did he just say that?

  Self-Actualization

  by frankiespeakin in

  while i have come across this term before i never looked up what it meant.

  so while reading about what "peak expreiences" are i came across the term again and decide to give wiki a try.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/self-actualization.

  self-actualization is a term that has been used in various psychology theories, often in slightly different ways.

  I've worked in the AV industry for 20 years and have seen my share of motivational speakers. There can be a lot of money to be made selling people ideas that make them feel good.

  But this is different from therapy for people in need of real help

  Some interesting thoughts here

  However, I fear these are somehow off topic and that this thread may inevitably devolve into talk of Ferraris and Porches. Both of which have mass.

  I heard his voice today, and now I feel removed from his presence

  i heard his voice today.

  it was full of authority of old, full of gravitas.

  it meant something to me, it spoke to my heart.

  Survey: How Sure are you of Your Beliefs?

  i find it interesting to see, not just the state of people's beliefs, but how sure they are of them.

  or asked another way, what is the percent chance people feel they are wrong about their current beliefs.

  so state your current core beliefs about jws, christianity, god, and a percentage 0-100% of how sure you are that this belief is correct.

  The most dangerous people around are those who are convinced they have it all figured out.

  Ditto that

  What was the last great deal you got?

  i'm leaving this pretty open, but the last great deal i got was a new-quality steif plush (about $70 dollar value, i'd optimistically guess, when it was new).

  for about 2 or 3 bucks.

  at a yard sale i think.
