  Where Is The Ultimate Truth Found?

  by JamesThomas in

  there is much discussion here about the bible.

  some might see that after hundreds of years of argument and controversy no two people interpret the damn thing exactly the same, and so they have acquired the wisdom to abandon it.

  there is a story which goes like this: .

  To abandon the outward journey of religion and scripture, is often the very first step on the fruitful journey to our Divine nature - within.

  Exactly. Many people are too fearful to accept the possibility that this life is it...after which there will be no thought...there will be no hereafter...there will be nothing.

  It's a shame that so many people throughout the millennia had to die for what I see as a meaningless cause. What further good could these people have done for mankind? In what state would the world currently be if Christianity had never existed?

  I see the religion as nothing more than suffocating shackles, created by man as a means of control.

  Maybe I misunderstood your first post, but this is my take on things.

  i have been a regular visitor to this forum for the past 2 years or so, finally i got the courage to register.. you guys are an inspiration , your stories and experiences have helped me to take a stand against this controlling org.. in short, i was raised from birth as a jw, parents are from the old school very much hard liners, the society is their god.

  is expected of you, get baptised as a teenager become a ms then elder.

  i always had my doubts about the society and its teachings but was.

  However, this shunning has confirmed for us that love in the borg and including family is conditional.

  Contratulations on your courageous first step. The Bible seems to be laden with examples of conditional love, which has led me to abandon the farce of Judeo/Christianity altogether.

  Good luck on your journey. Don't be afraid to explore other means of enlightenment.

  Happy Birthday!

  If you run out of drinks, just get a few glasses of water and summon Jeebus. He'll hook you right up.

  i credit this to "cinemablend" for giving me the thought.. prove to me that the watchtower is the "faithful and discreet slave class', to which the j.w's have to obey down to the letter.. who can "prove" or "disprove" this?.

  They say that God has always had one organization on Earth, so since they're the only one's who are right, they must be it. They're under God's direction.

  If this were true, why would they ever have had to change their doctrine? Hmmm...I guess God fibs to them once in a while. That big kidder!

  i just can't believe it!

  after sending the elders a letter (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/91796/1.ashx) we get a letter from elder s. that he understands that families are busy, can't be reached for short notice meetings, yada yada yada.

  so they are setting another meeting for june 12. .

  You could also decorate your home with Christmas lights and put a plastic Santa on the roof.

  Wait until July.

  Psycho Behaviour.

  number 3 son, ben, finished his 3 years at cardiff university today.

  to celebrate, he earlier went out with his pals, got well and truly sozzled in several pubs and indulged in the highly dangerous pastime of partaking in a few psycho tequilas!

  so how do you imbibe psycho tequilas?

  What the hell? I'm all for partying, but why would anyone inflict pain upon themselves to have 'fun'? I can't imagine that snorting salt and squirting acidic juice in the eye gets you any drunker.

  I've been to my share of clubs and I've never seen anything that crazy (except maybe for slammers, which serve no purpose whatsoever aside from making half your drink foam out of the shot glass). Now THAT'S psycho!

  Almost 10 minutes of clicking, and Vader still couldn't get it.

  I think he's losing his touch.
