greetings gentle posters,.

i have been inspired to write this by the following quotes from various posters on a thread started by amnesian titled the ex-[elders] files: eyes wide shut.. the following was quoted by amnesian from various responses to a thread started by amazing titled: ex-jw women, your side.. thanks for asking!...thank you amazing for asking that question...just my 2 cents.

thanks for letting me share...amazing, this is a great topic!...amazing, great idea...thanks for starting this thread amazing...what an excellent topic.

GDW,

These are great comments!

I am all for courtesy, or civility, as you say. Courtesy doesn't mean one person behaving condescendingly over another. Nor does it mean one person subjecting their self to another.

I must comment that in the 'liberated' gay community, there seems to be a deeply ingrained sense of gender roles still. If this sounds ridiculous, it is.

But it is really true that one partner is considered 'male' and the other 'female'. And this is only based on DOMINANCE/SUBMISSION! I almost laughed my ass off when I heard one gay man refer to his partner as a 'good wife'!

Dream Theater

do you think the band should have recalled this album cover?:.

the label said the cover art, which also includes a "big apple" wrapped in barbed wire, was completed months before the disc's release tuesday.

"the timing of the release of the cd happening on the very same day as the tragedy is a regrettable coincidence," the label said in a statement.

Wow what a cool pic, Seven!
Thanks.

It's funny how many things we don't notice. I don't think anyone would have noticed that ever if they weren't looking for it. Well, perhaps. But they wouldn't have cared.

It's good to be courteous, but ascribing TOO much significance to things like this is not good.

For example, 41,717 people died in the US in 2000 in car accidents. That kind of information doesn't make headlines often. But the significance of this figure would increase drastically if someone famous were to die tomorrow in a car accident. Let's say, Barbara Walters. (that is not a prophecy, hopefully)

You would hear comments like 'It's of extreme importance to improve highway safety!'

True, yes, but it's not MORE important than it was yesterday.

One other point is that 'honoring' the dead is really something we do for ourselves, to ease our collective conscience. What we call 'honor' could be considered sacrilige in Bangladesh, for example. Does it matter to the dead how they died, or whether anyone brought them flowers?

I'd like some flowers while I'm still alive

Post Resurection for the bored Fundies

by unclebruce in

friends

the times in which jesus lived are well documented.

we know a lot about the historical context of the world in which he lived.

this knowledge is not a matter of personal belief but of historical fact.

cellomould

You Know,

You mention 'mythological counterfeits' which may or may not be similar to biblical accounts.

What is your basis for trusting the bible over other accounts?

The bible is clearly based on oral tradition like all the others.

Take as an example the serpent of Genesis (chapter 3? I forget right now). Was this serpent really Satan the Devil?

Read the Hebrew scriptures, and you will find little mention of an antithesis to God. (Perhaps in Job chapter 1. But this is suspect also as an interpolation. Notice that Satan is only mentioned in that first chapter!) The ancient Israelites attributed everything good, as well as everything bad, to GOD.

The serpent, if you read Genesis carefully, was just a serpent. God said 'crawl on your belly and eat dust'. He was NOT talking to an angelic creature later to be named Satan. He was talking to a snake believed to have legs before God's punishment. (Someone referred to this in a thread recently. Apparently even in the WT they depicted a snake with legs in the garden of eden.)

You believe Paul's words that Satan was 'the original serpent'? That comment was necessary to separate the oral tradition of the 1st century from the ancient, more mythical, oral tradition. At some point in history, it became intolerable to have a God that performed evil works or harmed people. (Read about Zarastrutha and Persian philosophy)

In addition, the bible is now being disseminated because of oral tradition. Would you independently come to the conclusion that the bible was the work of a Supreme God, not having parents or religion to impress that upon you?

Be honest.

Screen Name vs Character

by Amazing in

jw
friends

since my character is part of the issues that have been addressed by several posters, i thought that i would clear this up:.

teejay said: conclusion: no more insulting than you when you mentioned that one has to wonder about someone who'd pick the screen name "amazing.".

i am not sure if teejay shares agreement with what he quoted, but for discussion sake, i will treat it as though he does.

cellomould

Hey Amazing,

You know your own motives. That's all you should have to worry about.

Who really knows the motives of others?

It is pretty safe for me to assume all on this board are well-intentioned, until I see clear evidence otherwise. But that is just a cue to ignore them. They can harm me little, in this setting. Out in public, of course, things would be different.

My assumption of you at this point is that you are a great guy. But you know better than do I. (I think you and I have only been in the same post once or twice in the past.)

Like others have said, you don't have to defend your character here. If someone really wants to get to know you, they should ask you the right questions. If they aren't interested, well that's their prerogative. If they aren't interested in knowing but are avid accusers and judges, that's their prerogative too. Let them admire their own foolishness.

When I was in PERU, I ate some heart. It came on a kabob. It was really good!

(I was too chicken to order my own so I ate some of a friend's)

To wash it down: blood red BEET juice! (It really really looks like blood, no kidding)
