  Why did God choose a group of white men in New York to run his earthly organization? Oh, and finally one black man....

  does this give us any insight into the elite ones of the earth?

  considering, this religion is lead by the spirit?

  why isn't there more of a mixture for the governing body?.

  I was born-in but managed to avoid the dip. Came close a couple of times. In the end, I just couldn't stand the thought of being a phony bastard.

  I've only met a couple of "religious" folks in my lifetime (of any denomination) who weren't complete and total phony bastards.

  The KH is full of them. The very last time I ever went out in FS I felt totally demoralized and phony. I was half-way hoping Holden Caulfied would come to the door and blow my crazy phony head off.

  "Religious" people should just wear signs around their necks, "Look at me -- ain't I special!"

  im not sure i understand why we do this.

  i met r.franz after i left jws and meeting him was a nice experience.

  it was a kind of turning point in my life and i guess his books helped put the final nail in the coffin of my departure from jws.

  I have no doubt at all that God has the unlimited power to ease suffering...

  You're joking, right?

  Prayer: How to do nothing and still act like you're helping out.

  Prayer is like pissing in the ocean -- it doesn't affect the tide all that much.

  Silly things I wondered as a kid

  if god is like a loving father why did he set up a way for adam and eve to possibly fail by putting the "magic tree" in the garden?

  if my dad sabotaged his kids this way or felt the need to test our love him he'd be considered an abusive father.. when god put an angel with a spinning sword in front of the entrance to the garden why didn't a&e walk a few miles down from there and climb over the wall ?

  was there a wall ?.

  just curious, to those of you who have left the "truth", where has your spiritual journey lead you?

  have you found another religion?

  are you not really a religious person?

  Is the Gospel of Matthew a clever fake ?

  by wobble in

  the answer to the above question hinges on when the gospel was actually written.

  many scholars feel it was written some time after the destruction of the temple in 70 c.e.

  if this is so, it is a clever fake, pretending to have been written earlier by an eye-witness to the events, or someone close to an eye-witness.

  It makes me wonder why somebody would go into the business of disproving a book?

  Maybe because the world is full of people who would like nothing better than to oppress others with authority from said book.
