Why WHITBY is so important to us all!

by Gill in

the phrase is 'the truth is out there' and when we stumble across it by accident, it can't help but make a person wonder what else they never knew, and how pieces of the jigsaw gradually begin to fit together as we search for the 'truths of history'.. i love whitby.

whitby is a small town in the north yorkshire moors.

it sits on the coast with the magnificent ruins of whitby abbey dominating the sky line.

What a marvelous bit of history to tuck away! I love it. Thank you. I am under the impression that Celtic Christianity was Arian. Am I correct? MM

The Final Truth?

by Mistah MOJO in

"the final truth is that there is no final truth.

" this statement was contained in a recent email from a close friend who is an existentialist, and by extension a nihilist.

how many here would agree with this?

"The Final Truth is that there is no Final Truth." This statement was contained in a recent email from a close friend who is an existentialist, and by extension a nihilist. How many here would agree with this? Am I ridiculous perhaps in holding forth the hope that some sort of Final Truth exists? Something other than the entertaining paradix above, that is. The more I study religion the more I am confronted with an obvious specie of mental illness, one to which I succumbed for two years. Yet, in retrospect, my involvement was very unemotional, very analytical. There was very little of "me" invested in the religion.

Science is a better place to look for facts than religion. Understatement. Yet, does Truth have to be factual? Even science deals with symbols. I know there are many highly intelligent and educated people who post here. I would very much enjoy what you have to say. Please feel free to direct me to a link of an archived post you deem relevant. Thank you. MM

LIBER JESAIAE CAPUT .XLII

by Ade in

isaiah 42:18 - 25

come "scholars and friends" allow us to discuss whilst time allows it who herein is mentioned.

is it we "apostates" or the "spirit guided society of god on earth today" or is this the "literal" in the midst of the "prophetic" so it becomes void in interpretation of the "society".

Mistah MOJO

Hello Parakeet! I laughed out loud, a really satisfying belly-laugh, when I read your response. I agree with you completely! Your droll commentary coupled with the cute little birdie icon are a mixture I couldnt withstand. Thank you for a damn good laugh.

Do I understand correctly that this information is the current "light" shining forth from the Tower Of Light? If so, then they are indeed anchoring themselves very firmly to the 1914 date, yes? I love it. It would be mnarvelous to see the WTS finally commit suicide, figuratively speaking. Just blow their collective brains out in one big idiotic fit of lunacy and mule-headedness.

former JW overseer embraces Islam (video)

.

who is this knucklehead?.

How very odd. An educated man, with a degree in theology, who became a Jehovah's Witness! Then became an Overseer, and then left "the Truth" back when 1975 was being touted as the date for The End. (Am I right on this? I read so many conflicting accounts from ex-Witnesses). Then he embraced the ultimate bizarro-world religion, Islam. How incomprehensible! I have actually tried to read the Koran/Quaran many times and after a few paragraphs I literally feel ill. It's almost uncanny. If I believed in evil spiritis I would think the Koran is full of evil spiritis just waiting to leap from the pages of the Koran. On a more sane note, I think the Koran is a distillation of all the negativity in the Bible. Anyway, thanks for the link! This was a very odd experience. Enjoyable in a very strange almost "train wreck" sort of way.

Holidays, Witness wives, and authorities in the community WT 2001 QFR

by garybuss in

i must have missed this, in the dec 15 2001 watchtower magazine question from readers page 28-29 the society says ".

the individual christian has to decide what noncompromising things can be done at the request of one having authority in the family or in the community.".

"things can be done at the request of one having authority .

Le bon dieu this is load of pharisaic twaddle. Religious peeps will never amaze to cease me with their blindness. I'd rather be dead.

You are from your father the devil!

by sinis in

has anyone stopped to think what jesus was really saying to the jews?

jesus also says that you have neither seen nor heard him.

well the ot speaks of how the jews on several occassions not only saw gods ass (backside) but also heard him speak.

Narkissos, that was all very interesting, very much so. Very concise and to the point too. I'll remember the material. Thanks. Twitch, I think Narkissos answered better than I could have.

SUREFIRE way of shutting up that evangelical that is driving you nuts

by Mistah MOJO in

my only extensive experience of organized religion was the jehovah's witnesses.

my imprisonment in that sect was mercifully brief.

however, my experience with the "borned agin" crowd is very extensive.

Mistah MOJO

Hello Renando. I actually looked up the verse in my Gideon Bible. I read the surrounding context and there's nothing in the context about poor people. I would be very comfortable with evaneglicals just coming right out and saying "Look, we don't believe in actually obeying Jesus. It's too hard and costs too much. We just believe in believing in Jesus." Then I'd shrug my shoulders and feel good about the honesty.

My only extensive experience of organized religion was the Jehovah's Witnesses. My imprisonment in that sect was mercifully brief. However, my experience with the "borned agin" crowd is very extensive. I have family who are "borned aginers" as well as neighbors and co-workers. Thery sure do love to yak yak yak and jabber jabber jabber about "JEEE zus" but they don't really obey Jesus. They "obey Jesus" on the superficial easy matters, but thats it. If you too are sick and tired of their cheap grace and easy believism, this is for you.

The Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, omnipotent ruler of the universe,
commands demands and orders his followers in Matthew 5:42 to:

Give to him that asketh thee , and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. (Mt. 5:42, King James Version)
Give to him who keeps on begging from you , and do not turn away from him who would borrow from you . (Mt 5:42, Amplified Bible)
Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you . (Mt. 5:42, New American Standard Bible)

Let's see now... your Christian friends teach others to obey Jesus regardless of the cost, but when it costs them a few bucks, will they obey, or will they weasel out with their hair-splitting mind-numbing quibbles? Test and find out! And if they bug out, remember to keep this as your final parting shot of the conversation:
Since YOU won't obey Jesus, why the hell should I ?
