since he is going to college or university, i was wondering what would be a good course for him to take to wise him up a bit and be more his own person.

I suspect gullibility is inherint. If a person has a sheeplike personality, which religions prey on he is a sheep to be led to the slaughter. Some people are natural born rebels, or devils, resisters. But I am a corrections officer and they tell us behavior is learned so I guess there could be a course to teach one how not to be gullible. Short of that what about some parenting.

Has anyone appealed a D/f, and what was the outcome?

i appealed against my d/f because i wanted to expose the elder that d/f me, the chairman.

i thought it was so hypocritical as he had been calling at my house alone (yes alone) making sexual innuendos, i never invited him in, but couldn`t believe the things he said to me.

then when i was summoned to the j/c, him, his step father, and his side kick little elder friend were siiting in judgement of me.

The liberal media is as liberal as their conservative owners allow them to be. Its all part of the confusion.

Im not saying that I believe in the bible flood. But if there was a flood insects could be in wood and various enviroments that were not permeated by water even though they were under water. They could have been in air tight caves under water. The caves could have been sealed by earthquakes when the flood began.They could have been in containers that were sealed, or water tight. Some creationist believe in adaptation which simplified would say that 30 million species of insects might come from 100 insects. What creationist take exception with, in my observance is that a bird did not come from a fish, that man did not come from fish. I dont know whether I believe in creation or evolution I am just trying to answer your question above.

What is God???

is god just a ball of energy hanging around?.

is god a spirit person as the jw's suggest?.

ok, so i realize that there are a large number of atheists here, of which group i am ever so slowly counting myself among, who would love to shout down the topic with 'there is no god".

jaguarbass

No one can prove or disprove anything. But I think it helps to understand what people are really thinking.

This is what I think based upon my 23 years post jw research. We are God, the mass conciousness. We have sent out little pieces of ourself, life, humans animals plants etc (sons of God) these are our feeling units attached to our cpu (central processing unit) This is the way we enjoy ourself. As far as I know, its the only game in town.

Chicken, the Egg?, Creationist, the Evolutionist?

by skyking in

the thread re: did fossils make you doubt?

makes me laugh at the creationist because they have the same hurdle to over come as does the evolutionist do.

for the creationist can you tell me how god came from nothing?

jaguarbass

who created GOD? you have to answer this in order to assume creationism is correct? It is a paradox is it not?

I dont know what to believe creationsism has its problems as you pointed out. And evolution has problems as well in my mind.

As of Monday Sept 25, 2006 there are no answers that I can see to these big questions. There are a lot of hypothesis.

Do you think Hillary Clinton is going to be the next President of the USA?

i have a mix of friends from democrat to republican.

i am a registered independent myself.

i have heard it said, and watched in the news the obvious moves by the democrats, to put this woman in place to run for the office of president.

jaguarbass

So what do you think, do you think she could win?

Since George didnt win the first time, he was appointed, and he has no understanding or respect of our constitution and laws of the land, I think W will just declare himself a dictator like Castro and we wont need to waste our time on any more elections.

Seriously to answer your question. Anybody but Bush. So Miss Clinton would do in my book.
