THE UNSEEN MAGIC and THE MYSTERY of the MUNDANE

by Terry in

i've known two professional magicians in my lifetime.. one was a friend and the other was a very close friend.. both would discuss magic with me at different times.

each was devoted to protecting the secrecy necessary to maintain the brotherhood of illusion.. however, i am a curious person.

i am challenged by the unknown.

"No, God is different. He doesn't need to come from anything or anyone."
"So, the rule can be abandoned at this point. Why not just abandon it one step earlier and you'd do away with the need for God? A rule is only a rule when you need it. That is your real messege."
Satan is real when we NEED a cause; invisible or not.
God is real when we NEED a cause; invisible or not.
It is agency and we'll see to it that it exists even if we have to make it "appear" out of thin air by sheer belief.

Well done again Terry!

HEY CHRISTIANS AND BELIEVERS IN THE MYSTERIOUS CREATOR!!!

READ THE ABOVE!!!

OSTRICHES!

or as its known in england "give us yer stuff or we'll egg you".. it really isnt the cozy friendly 'kids get dressed up and chat to all the neighbours nicely' that it is portrayed on american tv (remember the et scene?).

i know you guys across the pond love haloween but imo its awful here.

youth crime goes up by 20% in the uk around haloween.. our version is way more menacing.

"have you ever tried cleaning an egg off a window?"

Oooh YES.........yyyyyes...i have.

It's legalised bleedin' scounging over 'ere.

I must admit though, i was at a friends house last night, i answered the knock at the door and.......well, they'd made SUCH an effort KK!!

Even the dog had flashing devil's horns on.........so i gave 'em 30p.

Who said transfats are bad anyway? Some group who wants to put you on their pills for the rest of your life?

Unless you ARE joking, you've just made yourself look like a total fool.

Trans Fats (hydrogenated oils) are REALLY bad for us. The body can't rid itself of them. They should be outlawed worldwide.

Sex with your divorced mate scripturally wrong?

by Fatfreek in

lets say youre a jw married couple, get a divorce (unscriptural divorce, that is, so in jehovahs eyes you are still married), then both of you change your minds.

well, not completely.

you both realize the sex was great but your other needs and wants have changed in opposite directions.

lowden

What if a child is born from the act that goes on to save millions of lives? Was it still "wrong"?
You mean you shag your ex`and have Jesus Christ by accident?

Way too funny!!

The Loved Up Thread [Fluff]

by diamondblue1974 in

it might have escaped your notice but sirona and i are totally in love and seem to have a mutual appreciation society thing going on; however this has not taken place without causing some online problems as some of you might be aware.. both dawn (sirona) and i are conscious that we have hijacked a number of threads given our perpetual state of being loved up.

given the untold frustration we might have caused to some posters we have decided to launch our very own jwd loved up thread.. this hopefully should allow threads to go on being productive without the frustration of people (us) whispering online sweet nothings and flirting and we therefore invite you all to use this thread if you are loved up, have similar mutual appreciation societies or simply wish to flirt with other online posters.

you can even use this thread to dedicate a post to someone who isnt online and who just lightens your life and makes you smile.. please join us and reassure us that we are not the only loved up people on jwd.. .

I must have taken the wrong fork in the road......'cos i can't find that love stuff ANYWHERE *Lowden sniffs his armpits*

Mooooo.............

Moses went up on a mountain and nobody was allowed to come near. He returned with tablets of stone actually written by the finger of God himself! Oh--the tablets were broken, naturally(by Moses) and Moses had to replace them by carving some himself! This isn't suspicious behavior, is it?

Indeed Terry!

Every element of religious belief is rewarded when you allow yourself to be fooled!

Astute! And what shall we call a person that allows themself to be fooled.......?

That'd be A FOOL!!

Fool me twice; shame on me.
The UNSEEN MAGIC is your willingness to sit still and believe what you are told and shown.

It is up to us to get up off our arses, drag the curtain aside and see behind it.

Dorothy ROCKS!!

Have you ever had an encounter with a UFO?

by free2beme in

friends

when i was about 16 years old, a group of us friends would go hiking a lot on the weekend.

we would rough it to some degree, just a sleeping back and sleeping under the stars.

one night, while hiking into a lake in northern california, we all were sleeping in a clearing just out of legal distance from a small mountain lake we liked to fish in.

Hello F2bm

I can't believe i'm responding to this, cos i'm a hugely skeptical guy on this subject.

I was in Sweden visiting my brother 2 yrs ago and my niece related a story (she's as honest and true as the day is long) about when her and her boyfriend went for a twilight walk in the forest.

Whilst in a clearing in the trees, my niece looked up at the twilight sky to see a black circle, sort of 'in the sky' but not if you get my meaning. A circle as black as black can be. They stood looking at it.... and each other......WTF?

Then it started to move towards them, enlarging as it came.

They ran as fast as their Swedish legs could carry them.

There ends the sighting but begins the mystery.

Peace
