the fact that in the very beginning god created man and then woman and placed them in the garden of eden, then he told them that they could partake of all the fruits from the trees but that they shouldnt touch his tree.

the tree of knowledgethat is like putting cookies in front of a kid and telling them that they cant eat them.

then he allowed satan to speak to eve (through the serpent) and convince her to eat and then she would know all that was good and bad.

Nope, he has not set us up for failure. Nor does Satan inspire all the evil in the world. Why ? Because neither of them exist. Humans fail due to their own inadequacies, as evolution progresses we will find our knowledge and abilities increasing and changing.

The notion of God and Satan exist because of Man's inability to accept responsibility for his fuck-up's, and inability to cultivate the neccessary self-belief that things can be achieved or overcome purely by one's/society's own skills and strength.

For me, it's my immediate family. Doing my best to help and support each other, having just had a family member die. Then, myself - making sure I keep balanced, happy, and open.

Headship principle

by TheListener in

i was talking with a good friend of mine the other day and the subject of headship came up.. i believe that the bible clearly shows that the man is the head of the family.. however, i don't believe the society portrays that headship in a correct fashion.. in my opinion the society really endorses a type of headship that doesn't really square with the teachings of the bible.. as my fade has progressed (remember we're talking several years here) my style of headship has changed very little.

i've never been a domineering head who bossed his wife around and made hard and fast rules for the family, but, before the fade started, i felt like i could if i needed to and sometimes even felt that i wasn't a very good head because i was too soft.. now, i feel like i'm a good head of the family and that pretty much the way i've been doing it does square with the bible's viewpoint.

now i can be the head i was but without the guilt.. i'm looking for what others here think the bible describes for the actions of the head of the family.

The Bible was written by men, for men.

I guess if you want to base your relationship on a book that was written by men who would not even let their wives and daughters leave the house when they were having a period, that's your perogative... I think that most men treat their women better without religion getting involved at all.

J I am sooo with jeannie on this one - you've summed it up perfectly babe, my thoughts too !!

As a JW did you ever have a personal relationship with God?

by Evanescence in

.

as a jehovah's witness did you ever have a personal relationship with god?.

Nope, not at all. I remember always questioning whether I was doing something wrong or not trying hard enough,and perhaps that was the reason why I wasn't 'connecting' with God or Jesus, or could never feel a closeness to them.

Now, a few years later I've come to realise that God and Jesus and the whole lot of 'them' don't even exist. They are purely puppets on religions stage.

GAGS I HAVE PROUDLY PULLED ON JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES :)

by Nate Merit in

in 1984 (shudder!

) my bud mark smith and i picketed the kingdom hall in ann arbor, michigan.

our signs had a watchtower drawn on them and said 'this religion is a snare and a racket!

Nate, why are you so intent on rubbishing the opinions, integrity and personalities of anyone who didn't find your pranks to their personal amusement ? Mate, why the defensiveness ? You have attacked peoples opinions and characters based on what they've posted regarding your pranks. Where's the logic or intellect in that ? For example, you told me that I'm "prolly (sic) gonna share my hurts" on this forum. Why the assumption of what I'm 'probably going to do' ? You have made a complete arse of yourself due to your inability to look critically at the opinions of others and accept that some people don't find you're form of therapy amusing.

Why mass post just how terrible your life was and how bad things were for you ? Do you require sympathy Nate, do you need some attention ?

Your self-defensivness and willingness to attack the characters of those who don't agree with you paint the physical picture of a fragile, self-unassured immature child in a man's body, with a mind devoid of the ability to think rationally and critically toward an idea or opinion that differs from those that you possess.
