Well at any given time, we only use 10-15% of our brain. Scientist and doctors are still ultimately baffled by how it works...
Could she see visions. Sure why not? Just what exactly would we be capable of if we could tap into more of the unused and unknown properties of the brain? Maybe your wife and others like her that truly see things and aren't out for a quick buck. Maybe by some kind of genetic glitch she uses an extra portion that the rest of us aren't able to tap into.

Do you vote?
by MsMcDucket ini was just wondering if anyone here votes in the elections?
considering how badly that some of us did on that test, i wonder if anyone is even concerned with politics?
do you care who your congressman is for your state?

All I'm gonna say about the god setting up governments or not...and hitler being a bad dude, etc...was when God was in charge over the israelites...he sure committed a lot of atrocities too, just like Hitler did. God is a killer. Mass killings and cruelties were ordered, committed and approved by God.
The entire population of the earth at the time of Noah, save 8 people and a bunch of aminals. Gen 7:23 Every inhabitant of Sodom and Gomorrah. Gen 19:24 All the first born of every family in Egypt, including children of those in dungeons and the successor to the throne of Egypt's Pharaoh, by God on the first Passover night. Ex 12:29. All the hosts of Pharaoh, including the captains of 600 chariots, who drown in the Red Sea while pursuing the Israelites. Ex 14:27-28.
Victims who perish in the conquest of seven nations in Canaan by the Jews under Gods guidance so that the Jews can occupy their lands as God had promised Abraham in Deut 7:1,2. The Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites were all destroyed, every man, woman and child and mercy was shown to none. [Would have made Hitler and Custer feel good.]
Amalek and his people, by the edge of the sword, because God wants to fight with Amalek from generation to generation (maybe just for fun). The Israelites win if Aaron helps Moses to hold up his hands. [At times of crisis, God gets whimsical. People are dying everywhere and God wants to see Moses's palms.] Ex 17:11,16
3,000 Israelites die at the hands of their brothers, the Levites, every man, their brothers and their companions. Ex. 32:27 [These were the orders of God who would brook no disloyalty, a self styled "jealous" God.]
Rulers of Israel, eleven in number after spying for forty days that wouldn't invade the Promised Land are killed by a plague. Num. 14:37 [The first term limitation?]
250 Levite princes of the Jews who challenged the leadership of Moses. When Moses points out the injustice of killing the whole congregation God relents briefly, then swallows up two of the princes, "their wives, sons and little children", then sent a fire to consume the remaining princes. Num. 16:1-40 [The Christian God lies too.]
14,700 people die by plague who protest to Moses about the prior killing of the 250 princes. Aaron makes an atonement to stop the plague. Num 16:41-49 [The Christian God seems bent upon destroying helpless people.]
The Canaanites at Hormah, utterly destroyed, every man woman and child, by God at the request of the Jews. Num 21:3 The Amorites at Hesbon, Israel "took all these cities". Moses sums up the slaughter: "We... utterly destroyed the men and the women and the little ones." Num 21:25 and Deut 2:34
All the sons and subjects of Og, about whom the Lord said to Moses: "Fear him (the king of Bashan) not, for I have delivered him into thy hand." None was left alive. Num 21:34-35
24,000 Israelites who cohabitated with Moabite women and worshiped Baal. "And the Lord said to Moses, take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun..." Num 25:4,9 [Definitely a civil rights violation.]
All the males and the kings of the Middianites, because they worshiped idols, and all their wives and male children were sold into slavery. "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, vex the Midianites, and smite them." Num 25:16-17 and Num 31:7-8
The subjects of two kingdoms on the east side of the Jordan, in order that Reuben and Gad might seize the land for their own as a gift from God. Num 32
The Ammonites, decimated by the Lord so that Lot might possess their land. Deut 2:19-21
The Horims, slain by God in order that Esau might take their land. Deut 2:22
All the citizens of Jericho, except for a whore and her family. "And they utterly destroyed all in the city, man and woman, young and old, and ox... with the edge of the sword." Josh 6 "They" make a grisly game of it , using the superstitious number 7 popular in the Bible. [Joshua competes with Moses, the leader he replaced, for the title of Gods number 1 hit man as he follows Gods orders.]
12,000 men, women and children die in a treacherous ambush conceived and directed by God. Joshua, with the usual mindless hocus-pocus, holds out his spear until all the inhabitants are dead. The city was then burned. Afterwards Joshua builds an altar and offers thanks to God. Josh 8:1-30 [A political monster worships a Murderous Monster of a Deity.]
All the people of Makkedah, and their king hanged, by Joshua. Joshua 10:28
All the people of Libnah. Not a soul remained. Joshua 10:29-30 [Joshua and God were agreed upon the finality of capital punishment.]
All the people of Gezer, with none remaining, are killed. Josh 10:33
All the people of Eglon, none remaining, are killed. Joshua 10:34-35
All the people of Hebron, "All the cities and souls that were in them". Joshua 10:36-37
All the inhabitants of the country of the hills, and the south of the vale, and the springs and their kings, he left none remaining but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded. Joshua 10:40 [Joshua simply kills everyone else.]
The inhabitants of Gaza, Askerlon, and Ekron, killed by Judah and Caleb. Judges 1:18-19
10,000 Moabites, killed by the Israelites. Judges 3:29
10,000 Perizzites and Canaanites die at the hand of Judah and Simeon. Judges 1:4 [Isn't it nice how the body counts always come out as nice round numbers?]
120,000 Midianites die by the hands of Gideons three hundred men. Judges 8:10
50,070 people of Bethshemesh, struck dead by God because a few of them looked at/into the Ark carrying the stone tablets. 1st Samuel 6:19 [The murderous Christian God keeps the grave-diggers busy with overtime burying the innocents.]
70,000 victims (more round numbers?) die of a pestilence sent by God because David took a census. 11 Sam 24:15
Although Adam and Eve have no sense of right and wrong when they eat of the Tree of Knowledge, God accuses them of sinning and tosses them out of their home. Prejudging the human race he then decrees that all shall suffer for this "sin" by returning to the dust from which Adam was made. The Christian God curses women with painful birth. Gen 3
Cain kills Abel because God is partial to altar sacrifices, preferring animals to grain. Gen 4 [The Christian God plainly doesn't like vegetarians.]
At the time of the Flood, a disaster not uncommon to the tradition of other religions, Noah, an imbiber, and his family are the only persons deemed righteous enough to be saved from drowning. All others, including pregnant women and children, are given no opportunity to survive the rising waters. Gen 7,8
Again attributing sin to innocents God fails to find even 10 persons, or embryos in any stage of gestation, saintly enough to escape the fire and brimstone (Biblical napalm).
God turns Lots wife into a pillar of salt when she looks back in horror at what is happening to her friends and neighbors. Gen 19 [Today many Christians oppose any abortion as a God forbidden murder. Where is the logical precedent here? The Omnipotent Christian God is the Abortionist to abort all abortionists.]
Abraham is certainly willing to do what ever the Lord demands of him, even when God orders him to kill his son. But all turns out Ok when an angel yells really loud to Abraham that it was just a test to see how much he loved God. Isaac is very lucky indeed. Abraham may have been near deaf at his age and the Angel was calling long distance from heaven. [Truly a miracle.] Gen 22
When Sarah gets jealous and insists, proven Abraham consigns Hagar and Ishmael to the deserts to die. Gen 21 [Does this qualify as domestic abuse or violence?]
Pharaoh orders all midwifes to strangle new born Jewish children. Of course they refused. Pharaoh then orders them to throw the babies into the river. Ex 1:18,22 [What's interesting to note here is that some Christian parents at the present time deny their children blood-curdling television and give them blood-curdling Bibles.]
Moses kills an Egyptian deliberately for beating an Israelite. Ex 2:12
He then becomes God's Lawgiver. One of his commandments straight from God is thou shalt not kill (murder). [Two wrongs don't make a right. Was Moses a murderer even before he led the Israelite rebellion??]
God tries to kill Moses, because his son by a Middianite woman is not circumcised. His wife, angered, circumcises the boy with a sharp rock and throws the foreskin at Moses's feet. God then lets Moses off the hook. Ex 4:24-26 [God has priorities, including the horrible genital mutilation of young boys.]
After first purposely hardening Pharaoh's heart so that he will not see the Israelites free, God, through the black magic of Aarons rod, visits ten terrible plagues upon the unsuspecting Egyptians. Ex 7-11 [Even the innocent animals are victims of this truly evil black magic.]
The needless, brutal slaughter of the Passover night is the intended result of another hardening of Pharaohs heart by an egotistical maniacal God who wishes to parade his power. Ex 12:29 [Thus God continues his propensity for making the innocents suffer for the guilty which culminates in the crucifixion of His own innocent Son Jesus.]
More heart hardening by God causes Pharaoh to chase the Israelites into the Red Sea, where the soldiers die by drowning. Ex 14:28 [If God could harden pharaoh's heart he could have caused pharaoh to let them go free. Nothing to it.]
For "offering strange fire before the Lord", two sons of Aaron, priests of the tabernacle, are struck dead. Lev 10:1-2 [Not to worry, replacements are on the way.]
A blasphemer curses the name of God in the wilderness camp, and God orders him stoned to death: "And he children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses. Lev 24:23 [The rocky terrain of Palestine broods ill for miscreants and protesters. (Again God could have changed his heart and not killed him.)]
Israelites who complain, with good reason, in the desert, are burned with fire by God in the uttermost parts of the camp. Num 11:1 [Evidently the Christian God loves the smell of roasting, poaching, baking, broiling or burning human flesh?]
Seeing that the Jews are dissatisfied on their journey to the Promised Land because they have no flesh to eat as they had in Egypt, God typically loses his temper again and in a childish way sends a vast excess of quail, enough to cover the ground a days travel in each direction and they stack up to a height of more than 3 feet. As the people started to eat the fruits of their labor "God smote them with a very great plague." Num 11:31-33 [I guess it was better to be a vegetarian after all. Remember Cain?]
The Israelites are forced to wander for 40 years in the desert so that the older people would die. Num 14 [The Christian God despises old people.]
A man caught picking up sticks on the Sabbath is ordered by God to be put to death, and the wandering tribes comply. Num15:35-36 [A novel approach to the homeless problem?]
Challenge of the authority of Moses (remember him murdering people in Egypt?) by anyone always brought out the worse in God, and he buries alive the wives and children of the two princes who oppose Moses. Num 16:32-35
After striving to reach the Promised Land for forty years, Moses and Aaron are denied entry because Moses had struck a rock in anger to obtain water. Moses is allowed to look at it once though just before he dies. Num 20:11-12 and Deut 34 [The Christian God might have shown a little compassion for Moses who was probably at his wits end.]
God turns Miraim into a leper after she criticizes Moses for marring an Ethiopian woman. Such unions were contrary to Jewish custom and also disapproved of by God for everyone except Moses. Num 12:10 [The Christian God is a two-faced, misogynist Dog.]
It looks pretty plain to me that the Jehovah God is really Jehovah War God who likes to childishly parade his power before the masses and destroy those who don't like his totalitarian regime. Jehovah is the God of Evil, many more times worse than any Satan we can conceive of.
Yes, I vote.

what is a born again christina?
by tetrapod.sapien inwell, typically, a born again christina is a guy who is at the end of his tether, and doesn't give a f*ck about much anymore, and is depressed and cuts himself.
and then one day, on just a typical weekday, he meets a girl named christina, and she is so sweet and she gives him his faith again.
his faith in humanity and the universe.

I thought that a born-again Christina would be like...oh say Christina Agulera dying her hair and going for a different type of cruddy look? :)
(Don't get me wrong...I think she's a pretty girl...she's just gotta lose the tammy faye look and get a better fashion stylist.)

JW Group Forums - what they say
by forsharry innot sure why i've been going around to the jw forums like on myspace and such to see what they say...maybe i'm just stupid...who knows...but i was surprised at the vitriolic venom that many of the youth that still pay homage to da troof spew from their mouths.
i know i was raised jw but i would always pride myself on listening to what others said, even if i secretly didn't agree with it.
because it was a polite thing to do...and i had the truth!

very nice thread. It's not surprising but I find it all disappointing really. When I was in the religion...i asked some very provacative questions and I got the same response. STOP QUESTIONING! FOLLOW BLINDLY! These are apostate questions! WTF?! It didn't matter that I pulled scripture after scripture saying question if you do not understand...and I never asked out of spite or anger...but if you're going to yell at me for using my quote on quote GOD GIVEN brain, then you can kiss my twinkie endowed ass.

I know I was raised JW but I would always pride myself on listening to what others said, even if i secretly didn't agree with it. Why? Because it was a polite thing to do...and I had the TRUTH! I felt it could stand alone! No Catholic or Born Again Christian or Pentacostal could bring me down! Maybe that made me a very bad dub but I thought it made me a well-learned person. How could I go about, door to door, saying anything other than the Jehovah's Witness brand of Christianity was the only way people would MAYBE earn brownie points with Jehovah, when I didn't even know what they believed? I found that to be arrogant, closed minded and doing a great disservice to myself.
I'm not saying that this is a mutually exclusive reaction soley amongst the JWs. Many cultists have such a 'violent' reaction. I just don't remember having that much hatred directed towards others...I always used it on myself.
I'm not sure what my point was with this but I was supremely saddened by it. I despise closed-mindedness no matter what the source. Heck, that's why I was probably ousted from the bOrg to begin with...because I questioned...and got the same type of snarky responses. Would I have stayed if some loving brother or sister sat me down and listened to my questions and was able to alleive my doubts and anger over what happened to my family because of this religion, by using bible scriptures and loving words? (Now keep in mind I'm going back to when I bought into all of this white-washed graves garbage.) You betcha. But it's always piss and vinegar...always.
They really need to get a better PR department. Someone forgot to read the memo about the honey.

I used to give a persian we once owned valium to try to calm her down. She had some...uh...issues. Needless to say it was funny to have a stoned persian run all over the place, smack into a wall and just lay there for a bit cause she's too relaxed to get up.

Bad Behavior in Field Service
by TallTexan inbeing raised in the 'truth', i obviously spent much of my youth in service.
of course, as we got older, my friends and i would act the fool in service as much as possible.
we used to use the names of popular rap artists with the old farts we called on.

I would pick flowers in the nicer neighborhoods and press them in my bible. :)
However, most of the times I was assigned to neighborhoods most cops didn't want to go into so I didn't try anything funny. Heck, I witnessed a beating one time while in service so I never did any funny business while out in street service. I was more than happy just to pray to god that no one answered the doors.
