  Materialism and those with "spiritual experiences"

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  more and more i find myself coming to a materialist view of the world.

  i don't believe in afterlife, ghosts, angels, auras, astrology, revelations and the like.

  so what am i to make of people who claim to have spiritual experiences?

  Good question. My answer is the earth here is the forum for many truths. We are spirits having human experiences.

  Proof you can make the Bible say anything

  by drew sagan in

  well, i believe i found the most absurd website ever.

  i think this can be used as solid proof that you can make the bible say just about anything.

  you be the judge.

  The Bible can be made to say anything. I have read it cover to cover numerous times. I have made many notes. Its just one big contradiction. What it is is a bunch of books by a bunch of authors who are not in tune with one another. The opposite of what Christians and sheeplike people are taught.

  Instead of going to the assembly.....

  by Dawn in

  1. jw

  last year i seriously thought of going to the summer district convention for a day or two just to listen to the information once again now that i've been out so long.

  i thought it would be interesting to hear it "as an outsider" - but i just could not make myself go.

  i found too many other things that i would much rather spend my time at during the summer months.. so i thought it would be fun to list a few of the things i have actually done now instead of going to assemblies, meetings, or field service:boating/water skiingfishingcampingstudy dance (i danced in my first public performance this past summer!

  The end times and big announcements

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for anyone of us familiar with this religion.....we were taught no one knows the day or the hour.

  now should that be a 7000 year day, 1000 year day or 24 hour day, and any predictions concerning this or assuming knowledge of any sort would be exposing them selves as false prophets.. the wbts likely to whip up a frenzy of one sort or another due to clever rhetoric is typical, but all of us "out" know better.

  it usually happens in the fall, ......just like this year.. no one here needs to hold their breath.

  I think these big announcements are identifying marks of a false prophet. Like a loud bell to wake the sleeping ignorant from their slumber.

  Do you believe Jesus was married?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is related to my question in "entertainment" regarding "the da vinci code".

  in the book and the movie, it is claimed that jesus was actually married to mary magdelene, and that they had a child, descendants of whom survive even at the present time.

  so, my question is: do you think any of this is true, could possibly be true, or is just plain wrong?

  You think if he was married his wife would have been in some of the portraits with him.

  Fear is the reason. Business works on the principal create a need and fill it. Fear is the need that is created. Everlasting life is the remedy the cult dispenses.
