  If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?

  hard to put your finger on it, what are you trying to say wordy things.

  I'm just a babe and Jesus spoke so babe could understand.

  Does anyone here believe the Bible?

  ive noticed many posts relating to evolution and i'm just wondering does anyone frequenting this board believe in the bible?

  it seems that just because most have bad experiences with the wt that everyone here is an atheist.

  i myself was something at least of an agnostic for quite some time after breaking free of the borg, but now i see things in a different light.

  An Antidote To 'Screen Sickness'.

  a post by you know, our local hero, that was basically filled with speculative nonsense and an eccentric interpretation of scripture has gone on, as of this moment, to generate almost 300 messages, and has been viewed over 5,400 times.

  an alarming waste of time imho.. as a result of this our lawns have overgrown, our families have been neglected, the parrot is losing its feathers due to starvation and the real world has passed us by with an understandable glare in our direction.. yes, screen sickness; that desire to converse ad nasuem with digital acquaintances whose eyes ( or in yks case eye ) we have never seen, has spread greedily among us.

  in his wonderful essay on painting as a pastime, winston churchill gave some excellent advise for those who find their concentration becoming obsessed or overwrought, he said:.

  HS,

  I have my own business that is slow at the moment, and I find myself on the forum a little bit too much right now, but it keeps the anxiety's down for now.

  I still go foor 6-9 mile hikes on the many south bay trails that really give me 2-3 hours of quality meditation.

  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  Joel,

  You make a good point:
  [QOUTE]He still offered hope to the people he was talking to though, he offered them a way out if they repented. I don't ever see you talking about any way out, just about people being doomed. Is there a way out?Robert do you veiw us as worthless, and hopeless reprobates?
  Are you here to help us come back the WTBS fold?
  Or do you veiw us as a hopeless bunch of apostates?

  YK,

  That explains it:
  

  I hate to tell you pal, but I am well set in this system of things. I have more to lose than most folks. / You Know

  So that's the reason on the other thread you wouldn't take up my offer or does it?
  Tell me Robert, do you have all that Dylan ever recorded?
  Or is it, you can't find any prediction that the WT ever made that came true?

  an apology from dave wiltshire to you know!.

  after looking at jude 8,9 i feel i owe you know an apology.. look what it says:.

  in like manner not withstanding, these men, too, indulging in dreams, are defiling the flesh and disregarding lordship and speaking abusively of glorious ones.

  JAMES 4:12"One there is who is both Lawgiver and Judge, he who is able both to save and destroy.
  But you who are you to be judging your neighbor?"

  How are we to understand this?

  I think that if I qualify my statements as a personal observation, I wouldn't really be going against the spirit of what is found at Jude 8,9.

  None the less it should be honest, clear, and not prejudicial.

  Tongue: James 3:6b"for it spots up all the body and sets the wheel of natural life aflame, and it is set aflame by Gehenna".

  in these days of the great cowboys preparing for the man-hunt, here are some lines telling what the mediterranean/european sentiments are, as published by a political commentator.

  i just quote them to show the us-europe gap:.

  OH,

  Thanks for the sobering reality you bring to us here in the US of A.

  I think a lot of American's because of the internet are getting the world picture a lot better than not too many years ago.
