How much do you believe in God's blessings?

by stillstuckcruz in

the more i talk to the brothers and sisters, the more i question what so-called "blessings" god gives to us.

yesterday i had the #3 talk at the hall.

and because my family has that "perfect family example" status in the hall, i got all the comments about how wonderful i did and how fantastic it was for being a young man(20)....yada yada yada.

As much as I believe in Joe Pesci's blessing.

Is it possible to define faith in a simple, logical, unambiguous way?

by losthobbit in

i was wondering if it's actually possible to define what faith is in a simple, logical, unambiguous way.. .

i have a theory that words which cannot be defined in a simple, logical, unambiguous way do not really mean anything specific, and therefore should probably be avoided.. .

i know there have been books written on this subject, but i think that anyone who has to write an entire book to define a simple word like faith, does not really understand what it means.. .

FAITH CAN JUSTIFY ANYTHING!!!!

Think about it.

Your wedding day belongs to the elders

by fade_away in

getting married means you get your own special day.

a day where the couple getting married gets to call the shots and decide who is gonna be invited, who is gonna be the maid of honor, who is gonna be the best man, how you want everything to look and what music you want to play.....unless of course you're a j-dub.. i got married last year, and no matter how hard i tried, i couldn't decide anything on that day.

i have an amazing friend who has always been there for me and my family.

You might want to remind them of the new marriage outline.

What are you guys talking about? Barbara isn't crazy. She's been one of the main reasons why we know what we know about this cult.

A little appreciation here folks should be in order. Even if this issue isn't going nowhere because of this individuals credentials doesn't mean you accuse Barbara of being crazy.

my oldest brother when he was young was ask by a adult,.

when you grow up what profession will you seek.

he told.

since many people can not cope with the idea of a finite lifespan they need something else to believe

That's it in a nutshell. Reality is just to hard to face for the average person. So instead they attach themselves to fantasies/delusions. Whatever gets you through the day the saying goes.

The problem is when subscribing to these delusions, it usualy comes with a price. And in our case we know what that was/is, family, marriages, relationships, sanity ect. Very pricey indeed.

They can keep their empty promises as far as I'm concerned.

god speaks to me, through many venus, except audible.

Doubtful's Review of Special Day Assembly

friends

i hate assemblies.

i can't stand the contrived, rehearsed, robotic sound of the interviews and experiences.

i can't stand the repeated references to the fds, and i especially can't stand the college education bashing that seems to be thrown in there in just about every other talk.. here's my assesment of the assembly:.
