  It begs the question, how many of them are whole-souled to their responsible duties? Hmmmm, not the majority would be my answer.

  then i guess you believe that president bush was a legitimately elected president.. oil companies don't manipulate the price of oil.. all of the female gymnasts on the chinese team were at least 16 years old.. warlock .

  It is my experience that when people make-up their minds in NOT believing something, they just will not change. What I like about the conspirators is that they do everything in the open, and we just can't see it. We're dealing with forces beyond our control.
  
  
  The Wizard of Oz is a classic example of what's going on. Someone is behind the scenes manipulating events. I'll stick to my guns about the Federal Reserve Act. They have NOTHING to do with the government and they have been operating since 1913!!!! It's all in the open.
  
  
  If you don't believe in conspiracies, investigate the Federal Reserve Act.

  I find myself just getting "tired" of waiting for the End of the world. U2?

  by booker-t in

  2. bible

  is the end of the world just a fantasy in religious people's mind?

  i am really beginning to believe we were all just made to believe in a fairy tale.

  i still love jehovah and jesus but my faith is just wasting away behind waiting for a change such as the rapture/armaggeddon/paradise earth.

  How many witnesses believed the world would end in their life time, but, death has over taken them? for me, if it happens, it happens. I keep Solomon's words in mind, and that is, to enjoy life NOW! The book of Eccl.

  Ahhhhh, sports my religion. Sports has been my inspiration since childhood. The problem with sports today is the love of money and not the game.
  
  Why the org doesn't encourage sports? It's all ready been mentioned, distraction. When it comes to contribution from sports players, the org welcomes it!!!!! They want the best of both worlds without saying it.

  What If: The UN actually DOES "turn on" and destroy religion?

  so it stuck me the other day that modern jw prophecy is notnearly as bizarrely cocky as such past gems like the "house ofprinces" (1925?

  ) or even the 1975 fiasco.

  i would seem thatthey have learned the value of the vague.

  The UN is not toothless. It's an organization that is controlled from behind the scenes. So-called friends turn on their friends, the UN will be no different. The name of the game is POWER. Who has it, religion or godless politics?

  Never Believed in the Resurrection Hope - Nor the Witnesses Crazy Ideas

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i will list a number of my doubts on this subject as it was one teaching that pissed me off - as i feel it caused jehovah's witnesses not to mourn properly at funerals and show authentic compassion to others - as well as held out false hope for a " fantasyland " paradise .

  these reasons i list here actually were and are taught by jehovah's witnesses as fact !

  listen to how bizarre this sounds.

  thinking vs. feeling.. must we choose just one ?

  by caliber in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thinkingthinkers decide based primarily on logic, and when they do so, they consider a decision to be made.

  they tend to see the world in black and white and dislike fuzziness.

  feelingfeelers decide based primarily through social considerations, listening to their heart and considering the feelings of others.

  the last topic got me thinking about this.. my first computer was back in 1981, a sinclair zx81, it has 1k of memory.

  then in 1982 i progressed to a clone of an apple 2 with 16k of memory which i incresed to 48k, a floopy drive for that apple cost me $600 !!!

  .. in approx 1987 i got an ibm xt 640megs with a 20meg hard drive..it was like a dream .
