WAR IS OVER-IF YOU WANT IT
by proplog2 inchristmas is the time to talk about peace.
jesus is called the prince of peace.. john lennon and yoko ono put out posters that read "war is over - if you want it".. peace doesn't depend on scientific progress.
it certainly doesn't take prosperity and riches to have peace.

Where did Jesus claim to be the "Prince of Peace"? If I recall scripture correctly He claimed to not bring peace. Could the appilation belong to someone else? Is "peace" a relative term? Inquiring minds want to know! carmel

How do angels and demons influence mankind?
by onacruse inwts publications, and indeed virtually all religions on this planet, assert that angels and demons have regular influence on mankind, on individual human beings as well as on the general course of human events.. but i've never read anything specific about how they supposedly accomplish this.. do they tweak our neurons?
do they fiddle with our hormones, thereby making us feel good or bad about a certain course of action?
do they inject thoughts into our brains, perhaps in such a subtle way that we think those are our own thoughts?

We are the "angels" and "demons" simply by whether or not our spiritual nature is in conrol or our animal nature. carmel

Two different Gods, my dear! Jehovah is the old testament god with anger, hate, vengence, racism, etc. The pastor was talking about a god that has evloved from OT to NT! Still a figment of mens imagination, but still a better guy to put your life into His hands. carmel

Disfellowshipped
by LadyCCC iniam now as what was announced at a recent meeting that iam "no longer a jehovah's witness" all of my family and friends are witnesses so this will ailenate me from all of my friends and family.
but i feel like i don't want to go back.
i really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all.

Welcome LadyCCC! I was df'd at the ripe old age of 14. I never went back to endure the crap you've had. As to the elders failing to give you spiritual guidance, I think you have too high expectations. Janitors and window washers are unprepared to give guidance of any kind other than the best detergent to apply to vomit on the bathroom floor. I urge you to do as you said. Seek spiritual and social sustenance where it actually exists, which is not at the KH. I wish you well. carmel

A Sense Of Worth
by golf2 inlike sports, work is like a religion to me, i must do something.
the feeling of accomplishing something everyday gives me a sense of worth, this entails doing small things for others.
i never tell people what i'm up to, i surprise them.

I'm with you Golf. Random acts of good will in addition to a job that is directed toward the benefit of humanity gives me a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I could probably do more but a little self indulgence in a ball game now and then helps me maintain my equilibrium. carmel

Do you ever feel that you'd like to go to church...
by Trevanian in...but don't know where to start looking for a good church to attend?.
or maybe feel too guilty with leftover jw emotions to even think about going to church at all?.

I worship at Home Depot! no other stirrings other than I tend to be gregarious and like working together with others to get things done. Kiwanis and Community In Schools gives me that opportunity in addition to my Baha'i activities. carmel

I've read that the incidence of bipolar disorder is lowest amongs 7th Day Adventists and veggans. Seems diet and lifestyle are major contributors and/or complicators for those predisposed to bipolar. carmel
