  by defender of truth in

  a poster on another thread made the following comment, that really made me think.. it is about god: .

  "imo i would say [god is] not evil but just indifferent.

  apathy allows it.

  Why is it evil? Maybe we are just unimportant in the grand scheme of things..

  You asked the question, I answered with my opinion.

  There is no way you can prove it is or isn't evil. You only have an opinion whether it is or isn't.

  Good thing he died this side of Armageddon

  I hope he gets second chance after Armagedon .. he would be such a funny brother...

  Oh wow, another comic in the paradise! He'll be loads of laughs when he get's to know Moses!

  Man...you can't make this stuff up.

  He's not apathetic or indifferent. He makes it very clear, if you were born Canaanite, or take his name in vain, or covet your neighbor's wife, or touch to steady the ark of the covenant,or or or...you will die. No apathy there!

  It's evil to allow suffering when it can be prevented. It's plain ol' evil.

  E-Watchman? Thoughts?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  i stumbled upon the website e-watchman today and while i didn't have time to read over everything i found this thoughts so far quite interesting.

  recently when reading matthew i can't help but feel that jesus warnings about the pharisees also applied to the gb and elders.

  actually everytime jesus brought them up i realized how similar they are.

  He was part of the Hollywood comedy club scene in the late 70's and we saw him several times. You didn't know what hit you when you saw his live show, as was with any of his live appearances. Those clubs were/are small and intimate, and you would many times have contact with the performer. Of course he wasn't a personal friend, but it feels a little like he was, we were all so young once.

  He was well loved by those that knew him...which in and of itself is a great legacy.

  Have you seen "Knock! Knock!"?

  i thought it was a genuinely old silent movie.

  it was prepared for the delegates of the international conventions.

  a young man in a sound car goes to different homes in the neighborhood, and comes upon a bereaved husband with two young daughters.

  "Dead Poets Society" kills me. I'm a sucker for the poet and power of words. He relays this so eloquently to his students in the film.

  "Fisher King," "Hook," "What Dreams May Come," "Aladdin"... so many outstanding works. What a body of work he has left behind. Everybody was just so sad when we found out.

  RIP Robin.

  wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

  we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".

  yeah, right ... sparlock?.

  How stupid is this?

  A JW visits your door...to hand you a slip of paper, promoting a website...you go to the website, and request a JW to visit....

  But wasn't there a JW already at your door, handing you the slip of paper?

  ^^^ This ^^^^

  I'm using this one.
