I have to go in to a Mormon church for my son to practice his basketball games (He has a mormon coach and he is good). As I walk in though, I tell you that it reminds me so much of a Kingdom Hall. Smells like one, has the same boring themes, etc. Only big difference, Mormons are wealthy and do things larger and with more money invested. But seriously, other then all the paintings of Joseph Smith and Moroni. It is Kingdom Hall country. Ever been in one?

Ever wonder this about the annointed?
by free2beme inso in the congregation you had those wine and bread loving annointed people?
but i ask, why did the men that were annointed not immediately appointed as an elder, and then a circuit overseer and so on up the ranks.
it would seem to me, that if god saw them fit to rule in heaven.

It would seem to me, that if God saw them fit to rule in heaven. He would want them at top rank here on earth, right? More often then not, what I saw was them being counted and yet ignored for leadership. Most would just be left to make comments, maybe field service and more often then not no one asked what I just asked. So I ask now.

Just wondering, do Christians feel animals can be demonized? I wonder, as I have some questions about demonized. Does the demon become the person, and send the person packing to some sort of waiting room? If so, do the animals also stay in this waiting room and are they able to communicate or explain their situation? I wonder, as if this is the case, can they actually be in the same room as a human spirit? I am only curious, as I really like my dog and he is an amazing friend. If you have ever had a Golden Retreiver, you know they are born to please. Just wondered, should I allow a Christian to perform a exercism on him to be safe? I wouldn't want to think my best friend was a demon dog and the real dog was actually a untrained house wetting jerk, who bites and chases mail men. Just wondering, so can demons possess animals?

Troll or a very ignorant newbie to the faith who bought the "Jehovah is perfect" speech a little too deep and doesn't know what the term "Shaking the hornets nest" means. I have also been on this site nearly a decade and seen so many active posters post under new names for a little fun.

I loved what he did with Star Trek. George Lucas sucked with those Episodes 1-3 things he gave us, that I still want to deny happened as they sucked on levels that is hard to explain in a polite way. Other then to say "George Lucas deserves to loss the right to make Star Wars movies for life for those horrible peices of crap." Wait, he did!!! Maybe a good Star Wars is on the horizon, looking forward to that and hope Han Solo or Luke Skywalker are in the movies. Not Carrie Fisher though, as she looks more like Jabba the Hut now, then that hot sexy chick in the medal bikini.

Do you have friends/family still in the organization waiting for a big "cleansing" to occur?
by Pyramid Scheme ini have had some great conversations with friends and family lately who are still in the organization.. when i explain my feelings and beliefs, and discuss a number of the scandals surrouding the wt, they agree with me 100% - even expressing some things i didn't expect them to say as far as doctrine and teachings.
in other words, they can see the obvious problems and want them to change.
all of them little trust in the leadership, and have expressed disgust with several elders in the congregations they attend.

Witnesses in one way or another will existed beyond your years, accept them and move on. Never a shortage of freaks in the world.

With that said, I have to say. Maybe I am some evil person, but I just can not help but laugh when I read the bible or hear anything from it. I mean, it is just so dumb! It is 2012, and we as a society actually believe in these gods on throwns and angels. LOL! We actually accept mythology in 2012 and have stories of 'Super strong' men and men getting swallowed by large fish. We believe an ark took all the animals and saved them from the flood and oh yeah, man is only six thousand years old and started in a garden of perfection.
I laugh so much at this and just get a kick out of all the crap and wonder what the hell was I ever thinking to buy this crap!
Plus, and I love this part. The selective recognition that Christians have. I mean, they pray for something over and over and nothing happens. They ignore it! They they pray for one thing and it happens, and 'Oh my God, I have been blessed by God!' and please ignore the things that did not happen, as that is just some "Grand plan I do not know about." Oh oh oh, and when terrible disgusting things happen in the world in which terrible things happen to kids. It was GOD, in all his amazing love, bringing his children back home.
Laugh, cry, but no believing in that silly crap anymore in my life. But then again, you know that I have not thought about in awhile ... DEMONS! LOL
