dido, in your case and in cases of people that are sensitive to these things, I can see how they would be disturbing, what I meant is that to people like me and others here who no longer believe in the existence of the biblical Satan character or his demons it is quite amusing. I used to believe that demons at times bothered me when I had these vivid dreams where I couldn't move and I would feel their prescense and would try to say Jehovah's name (that's what we were told to do) but couldn't, anyway, I would wake my husband up making these weird noises and really freaked out, thankully I haven't had any more of those. I read this article on the web about sleep paralyses and it describes exactly what I felt, my mom also suffers from this but she is sure it's demons (she's a regular pioneer and has had this problem since she was a little girl), and it is hereditary, what they said is that what you will see is usually what you fear most, it's a very common thing, and many people like me confused it for demon problems. I was very glad to have read that, together with researching about the Satan beliefs and how they evolved to what is common belief now, I am glad to be free from those fears.

Love and Peace to you dido,

3 Million year old pre-human found

by monkeyshine in

i don't know if anyone has posted this yet but...just in case.. .

ICBehindtheCurtain

Yes indeed, this is labeled as a pre-human, why do they always want to insist that it had anything to do with humans? How many millions of species of animals have become extinct in the last 1 million years, why don't they ever say that maybe it was a now extinct species of apes? but no, they want to grab on to anything that even remotely shows it had any similarity to humans instead of accept that we were designed and created by a higher intelligence.

All races came from Adam???

by cyberdyne systems 101 in

jw

was it possible that we were taught that all races came from the same family?!

when i look back at that idea it seems very awkward and flawed.

i believe there was some mention of one of the early bible charactors as having darker skin - as though adam was a white man to begin with!

ICBehindtheCurtain

First of all, the Genesis story is just that a story, no I don't for a second believe that all humans came from one pair, that is ridiculous! I don't buy the evolution story either, my thought are that we were created and designed by some higher intelligence, not by the Bible God which to me is BS, by who I don't really know, and frankly it doesn't matter. I believe that all living things are influenced by their surroundings, the food available, the environment, the predators etc. Take us in the US for example we are on the average larger, and heavier than lets say people in Africa, because we have access to all this food, but they are thin because of their situation out there, we suffer from diseases brought on by what we consume, they suffer diseases brought on by malnutrition and so on. I don't think it is possible for an animal to purposely change any part of their anatomy to accomplish a task. How would this work? Does a bird with a short beak just sit there and think "Damn, those bugs in that tree sure look freakin good, if only my beak was longer I could reach in there and have a feast" and lo and behold his beak suddenly begins growing his DNA is altered and not only does he get to eat the bugs, but his offspring do too, because now they will all be born with long beaks. I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me. Because if that was the case, we would all be able to fly, breath underwater, women would have no body hair except for their heads, men would never go bald, and host of other things that humans have always longed for. It might just be me, maybe I just haven't really read enough about this evolution thingy, who knows?

I think the artists are just having some fun. Since I am convinced that the Satan belief is just BS, just research where these ideas came from and you will see that it is all a load of BS. Soooooooo there is no demonic crap, just humans doing evil things because they like to. The subliminal stuff is just funny, it can't harm you it's just done for entertainment purposes, or to creep out those that believe in this stuff.

Confirmed TED JARACZ has heart problems.

by yesidid in

jw
friends

i received info from brooklyn and can confirm that ted jaracz has seen a heart surgeon.

the source gave the impression.

that he is not in immediate danger, and there was no comment on his location..

ICBehindtheCurtain

Why does he want to extend his life and continue living in this evil system that is governed by "the great serpent Satan"? Doesn't he believe that he is going to heaven to sit with his buddies that already took the trip and shoot the poop with Jesus up there? My guess would be that, no he does not believe in the BS himself and he is afraid of what will happen because he doesn't know what really happens to you after you die, he is petrified, but even all the Borg's money can't save him, because his time is almost up.

I feel absolutely no sympathy for that old bastard, not that I wish him any harm, but hey, anyone at the head of an organization that has caused so much damage to innocent people would have heart problems, especially if he ever lurked on this board and saw the harm his precious "publishing company posing as a religion" was causing to so many families.

Will the wts face a Muslim backlash over the new tract?

by fullofdoubtnow in

jw
friends

they do, after all, classify all religions apart from theirs as false, and we've seen in the last few days that it doesn't take much to inflame the more militant factions of islam.

there's a large muslim community around here, and i can't see some of them taking kindly to being labelled a false religion.. this may not be the best time for the wts to be distributing such "information", but i expect they will go ahead, oblivious as to the sort of reaction it may provoke.

i hope that nothing much comes of this campaign, but in the sensitive times in which we all live, i can't help wondering....

dmouse, thanks for posting it, that is exactly what I read, I found the link on a muslim forum I was lurking in.

Jesus Camp, the movie. Trailer freaked me out.

by kwintestal in

sorry if this has already been discussed, but i haven't been around too much.

anyway, i heard an interview with the directors of the film the other day, and was compelled to check out the website.

it's a movie about x-tian kids going to these bible camps and i'll tell you, the trailer (in the download section) freaked me right out.

ICBehindtheCurtain

UNBELIEVABLE! Very scary stuff, these people's agenda is to do precisely what the founding fathers tried to undo and that is to have the church run the country. When are people going to let go of these myths and move on already?

Do we have the right to tell Iran that they can not have nuclear weapons?

by free2beme in

jw
friends

i was looking at a list today, of countries that have nuclear weapons.

i always think of the united states, russia, france and china.

what shocked me, were pakistan, and india also have nuclear weapons.

ICBehindtheCurtain

I agree with you, I don't think any country has the right to tell another what they can and cannot do, hey if Pakistan can have them then I think Iran should be allowed to.

Fullofdoubtnow, yes I meant the muslims here in the US, as I doubt the WTS would be dumb enough to preach in muslim countries. As much as I would like to see the WTS fold, I do not wish them physical harm. But I do think that if the muslims perceive that the witnesses are trying to convert them by making their people think of their religion as a false one there might be trouble. Maybe the GB wants to anger people against the JW's so their dreamed up and much anticipated "Tribulation" can start and in this way scare the ones that have left into returning (I don't think that can happen) and getting the faders (like myself) to stay (and I know that ain't happening).
