Do you cherry pick your science?

by cyberjesus in

ProdigalSon

When our TV is turned on, we can see the picture. When it's off, the signals are still there, but we can't see the picture. Does that mean it doesn't exist when the TV is off?

In the Bible, scientific knowledge is called "gnosis". True scientific knowledge must include things of a "spiritual" nature, in other words, things that are beyond the five senses of human perception. (See "Metaphysics") This knowledge has been suppressed and kept from the mainstream for thousands of years, for control and domination by the elite. They have brainwashed and conditioned people to reject outright what is beyond their perception as "science fiction". JW's are especially turned off to things like this because they view everything of this nature as "occult" and "sorcery". The truth is that once outside this 3-dimensional time/space continuum, we get the true meaning of what the Bible really means when it says, "with God, all things are possible."

For the real gist of what I'm trying to explain, google Plato's "Allegory of the Cave". I'm on firefox at the moment and can't post any links.

What did Jesus really say about the kingdom of God?

by cameo-d in

11i say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with abraham, isaac and jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12but the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

(matthew 8).

Considering that "Abraham" is the Jewish version of the Hindu Brahma, I doubt that Jesus really said these things unless he knew that his audience would understand these "people" as being metaphors.

The Bible was put together to try and make the New Testament match the Old, but its chock full of holes. For instance, both Jesus and Paul mention "Adam", and Paul builds a whole theology around him, but "Adam" was clearly not the first man on this planet. He was 75 to 100,000 years too late. Paul, being trained in Jewish Mysteries, was talking about Adam Kadmon of Kabbalah (Primeval Man), if he even said those things at all.

Why do people defend monsters?

by AK - Jeff in

the 'god' of the jw's is a god that will kill billions at armageddon.

the christian 'god' in general is a god that [according to their own holy book] already killed millions in the ot.

this 'god' ordered the slaughter of innocent virgins and children and old men and old women so that his people could take the land.

For me, the bubble didn't burst until the day I realized that the Bible is not inspired of God. It is incoherent, contradicts itself, and is filled with prophecies that were never fulfilled and never will be.

The Watchtower's line of shit, saying that a manufacturer would never put out a product without an owner's manual, and comparing it to God putting us here and giving us the Bible, is very convincing to someone who is sincerely seeking the truth. It made sense to me only because there was NO OTHER WAY to explain why the hell God put us here to suffer while he went off on his Pleiadian vacation.

Is God so small?

by Doug Mason in

if a grieving muslim prays to her god, does he refuse to listen?

does god refuse to provide comfort because she did not say yahweh?.

if a person who believes in god calls him/her "allah", does god turn his back like a petulant child?.

ProdigalSon

If you pray with the idea that YOU are part of the whole of the universe, which is made of "God" stuff, and that you, in past lives have ALREADY EARNED what you are praying for, then "God" (the Universe) will react and deliver to you what's rightfully yours. It's all about INTENT. That's why Jesus used the illustration that if you have "faith the size of a mustard grain", which is more than just belief, it is actually KNOWING, that this is true, and all it needs only that SMALL amount of pure intent....and whatever you intend will become reality. The idea of a "Daddy" God to protect us and give us what we ask for is all warm and fuzzy and nice, but if we don't realize our Oneness with him then we are trapped in the illusion of separation and we have no power at all.

ProdigalSon

These are the delusions that result from the very human idea that there's a God up in the sky who takes sides, who favors one group over another. In the west it all stems from the "chosen people" Zionist bullshit.

In one of my favorite books, "Deceptions and Myths of the Bible", Lloyd Graham was ranking on about how "Christian" nations that fight each other each pray to the same God to bless their armies and equipment and help them win, and then he says.....

"God is on the side of the heaviest cannon."

Im afraid Jesus is a myth taken from the Egyptian savior Horus

by foolsparadise in

any thoughts?

it is the exact same story as jesus only 3000 years earlier.

ProdigalSon

For anyone who has looked into metaphysics, the past is an illusion. Only the now exists, and only the now can be utilized to accomplish anything. So when a figure as big as Jesus becomes embedded in human consciousness, then whether he actually existed or not no longer matters. In the minds of Christians, he did, and the world goes accordingly in the now. The good in this is that we have enough information available today, and not just the Bible, to make our own decisions as to what he was really teaching, and what his purpose was.

If he's your sacrificial lamb, you sit around thinking you're a worthless sinner waiting to be saved from a sadistic bloodthirsty war god.

If he's your role model, you know your divinity within, put his teachings into practice and you save yourself.

I've brought this up before, but it's worth repeating here...

"Paul" stated at Colossians 1:23, ".... continue in the faith, established on the foundation and steadfast and not being shifted away from the hope of that good news which YOU heard, and which was preached in all creation that is under heaven. Of this [good news] I Paul became a minister."

So, how is it that Paul BECAME a minister of this "good news" that had already been "preached in all creation that is under heaven"? WHEN was the new and unique gospel of Jesus Christ preached to anyone outside of Israel before Paul brought it to the West?

And then, there is this very telling statement.....

"That which is known as the Christian religion existed among the ancients, and never did not exist; from the beginning of the human race until the time when Christ came in the flesh, at which time the true religion, which already existed began to be called Christianity." ~Saint Augustine of Hippo, Retractions, Book One, Part 12, "One Book on the True Religion."

Supermarket Spirituality Is Two Edged

by metatron in

jw
friends

i met a 40-ish lady who is into some new age stuff.

we talked about religion and it turns out she comes from a strict southern baptist family and is an ordained preacher therein.. i didn't press the issue (wanting to be polite) but i did mention "supermarket spirituality" - as her hindu dances, channeling, and more private stuff is way off the map for a fundie.

she didn't seem bothered by this as she reasoned that 'jesus is still lord somehow and god is still the creator somehow".

Do Jehovah Witnesses Have a Programs For "Reclamation Projects"

by Pitchess Co-Gen in

jw
friends

with the new bible school for single brothers and bible school for christain couples .

do the witnesses have a program to turn people who been disfellowship or repoved multiple times into elders or ministerial servants?

in my time as a witness it seems that you need a "sponsor" to give the blessing to move up in the organization.. .

ProdigalSon

They don't even CALL disfellowshipped people like they're supposed to....how can they have some kind of program to help people that have multiple "offenses"?? They're just bird food to them.

This is actually a merciful thing that they do... let the df'd ones know in no uncertain terms that their "love" was feigned in typical Pharisee fashion, and they JUST DON'T GIVE A SHIT. That way they can get over it and move on more quickly, knowing that God has nothing whatsoever to do with this mind-control propaganda publishing company.

Stockmarket losses

by exwhyzee in

jw
friends

the society is said to invest in the stockmarket, do we know if this is true ?

if it is, have they reported to their contributers what the losses were when the stockmarket crashed awhile back?

or did jehovah guide them to make investments that were safe?.

ProdigalSon

Apparently the psychopath War God Jehovah has guided them to acquire 50 percent of the stock of Rand Cam warfare technology. Fitting isn't it?
