What do you mean "God" does not exist, Zeroday? I may no longer believe in man's written record of events, or man's false predictions coming from a book publishing company, but I know there is definitely a source of creation greater then us in power in the universe. I know man didn't form the sea and mountains. God exists or we don't, one or the other. I would like to see the story you were referring to Jerry1, if you could post another link or the actual page here. By the way, how long does the "Newbie" label last here? I see Jerry1 has been a member here since January of 2005, but is still called "Newbie"?

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
by Geronimo ina trip down memory lanereminiscences of missy bung-bung.
by jake slatteryfriday, october 13, 2006remember those missy bung-bung comics and stories back in the mid-fifties to mid sixties?
i was recalling how i'd wait for the sunday edition of the detroit free press to come out because it always had that huge full color insert with all those exciting and funny comics.

I remember another time giving a talk on marijuana and thinking to myself how hypocritical it is to preach against one of God's plants, which does have medicinal value if used properly just like anything else (one would not smoke eggs), and the bible's word about "green herbs being good" in Genesis. I was thinking of being really honest, and showing some scientific facts, but that would not be very watchtowery of me.

What other religions predicted a date for the end of the world?
by stapler99 inthis is an argument that i have had with some jws, who claim that if jehovah hadnt been behind the organisation then the organization would have petered out after doctrinal changes, failed predictions, etc.
the idiotic example of a cult that did this was the peoples temple cult (well what do you explect if all the members commit suicide?).
also it is claimed that the fact that jehovah's witnesses still exist as a religion proves that they were never obsessed with dates for the end of the end of the world (1925, etc), because if they were then everyone would have left.

Sometimes I think about the difficult choice of what to eat for breakfast as the more complicated issues in life. This morning it was a toss up between an omlet or eggs benedict. For me, I am a firm believer that as intelligence increases, happiness decreases. Thankfully, I am really happy now.

Would Everlasting Life under Jehovah's rulership appeal to you?
by frankiespeakin ini don't find it the least bit appealing to even think of living forever under the jehovah's rule because he is such an egocentric god.
always worrying if you make him mad.

Allegedly we are all going to be transformed into beings that are no longer capable of free thought, and the idea of sin will no longer enter our minds. We will be given new bodies that cannot die, and we will live forever planting corn.

Thanks for this zeroday. I just looked up that link you sent. Let's see, that site should be going down then within the next couple weeks right? October is half over, and no bomb yet. I wish I had a little book with all the dates that man has ever set for events to happen, that way, I could definitely narrow down and know when Jesus is not returning, or war is not going to start.

Hi gang. How many speaker follies can you guys remember? I remember myself giving a presentation on the talking ass in Numbers 22 once. I couldn't help but smirk in a few of those scriptures. When I look back on those 5 minute assignments I can't help but laugh at this one. Verses 27 and and 28 made me giggle on more then one occasion.

I really didn't have too many bad experiences like so many others that I have herd about. I mainly had problems with the 144,000 concept. When the society made that change in 95' I think, with the separating of the sheep and goats is when I started looking elsewhere for truth. I was no longer at that point in my life, in "the truth". I was in "the flux compacitor of an ever changing magazine publishing company devoted to mass production of print". When I left I just told them I had enough of their doctrine. My parents who are both Roman Catholics were very well pleased and said "This day, we have begotten thee". Now I know what that means. Uhh, I think, yeah.

I always thought it was strange that they never bothered to listen to the annointed one on this matter. Matthew 24:36 and Acts 1:6,7 for instance. If the organization was truly a bible believing entity then it would have never been so brazen about trying to calculate the impossible.
