have you ever noticed someone that just had to be a witness?

for example, you're on vacation in a very warm climate and you see 2 men dressed in suits....they must be witnesses.

or you go to a sporting event and you see a group of guys suddenly run for the nearest bathroom and the national anthem is just about to be played....they must be witnesses.

Why do so many people believe that jesus is god?
by Legendary U.2.K. in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i still say that, christiaity is f--- up in these last days.. christianity teaches that the messiah is god, when the bible clearly points out that jesus is a prophet sent by god... jesus prayed to god<----that's the biggest proof... so i think if anybody believe that jesus is god, is not only an'-ti-christ(not accepting) but also a liar, foolish, and you knoweth nothing, and you are not close to god or christ, you are closer to that devil which we call satan....

Pagan origins of Christanity?
by crownboy in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm in the middle of reading jesus and the lost goddess: the secret teachings of the original christians and after this i would like to read the jesus mysteries.. i happened to come upon this book by accident, but i was surprised to see just how much christanity has possibly borrowed from pagan religions (i knew that ot stories like the flood were borrowed, but figured the nt was made by some cultic jews).

i also didn't realize that certain letters of paul may be forgeries, or that certain passages in the "genuine" letters could be allusions to pagan things.

are there any other or books or websites on the topic that anyone could recommend?

Voice your opinion- Organised religion.

2. beliefs
my main problem with organised religion is when totalitarianism comes into play.

thats when you get institutions like the catholic church in its earlier years.

that should never be allowed.. jerome

Mindfield - What is god - Jan 13
by Cath in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i was just going back through some of the older recent material to see what i may have missed and i came across this question - what is god?.

better late than never i suppose.. i no longer believe in god as a seperate entity but believe in a life force that is within each of us and everything else on this planet and also the planet itself.. that got me to thinking about the origin of life also as he is said to have created us but as i dont believe in him where did we come from.. in my search i came across this site - http://www.spiritweb.org - which has a section on channellings.

the channellers name is john payne and if you scroll thru his stuff to his seminar called manifesting with joy (you'll need real player) and have a listen to the thing, then to the question time at the end it is quite interesting and thought provoking.
