I read and enjoy your posts, Terry. I like to witness a good, honest debate whence good information

can be derived from. In order to evince more info out of you one has to challange your argument. It's

difficult to argue against reaon and logic, and faith VS. reason and logic make very poor debating

contestants. If you don't have faith you'll never believe, you know, when "you walk by faith", etc.

People of faith can prove nothing about their faith for if they did, it would not be faith anymore, it would

be fact.

To believe the Bible is "the" word of God one must abandon reality and just have "true faith."

Or the Kuran, the Book of Mormon, etc.. People are literally blowing themselves up because of

and in the name of their faith. You cannot convince them, they will never convince you. I

believe reality exists, but a question for you: does faith, as in "walk by faith" alone, exist in your life?

Thanks and keep posting.

Swedish Film: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

by leavingwt in

i recently watched this swedish film and i was very impressed.

it's a murdery mystery/thriller for a mature audience.. .

david fincher is going to direct an english-language remake starring daniel craig.

I watched the movie on DVD, kept me keenly interested till the end.

One thing: I personally could not bring myself to watch that movie

in the presence of my children, even though they are grown and married.

But that's just me; Just a warning.

The old big orange "Paradise" book

by aquagirl in

I think that book was published as an aid to help people,

like Southeast Asians, understand the Bible's content from

Genesis to Revelation.

You really DON'T KNOW LOVE at all

by Terry in

jw
friends

love is spoken of as though it were an actual.....thing.. the discourse surrounding "love" is a dishonest framing of an argument based on a non-context.. .

love is an emotion.

it is the strongest possible positive emotion.. where does it come from?.

lalliv01

Life itself is the source of all other values. Without life their can be no value.

So, if "love" enhances my life, makes me happy- promotes my life- do I then

"know" love? Might be true but it seems like a cold calculation, a cold ruler

to measure with.

IDENTIFY who is speaking in this RIDDLE:

by Terry in

"i am the mother, and i am the daughter.

i am the wife and i am the whore.

".

"Finally, by locating the divine in the "voice" and "hearing" of the text, it leads its hearers or readers to find the divine within the text and within themselves, and so to discover themselves within the divine. In such an interpretive movement of letting go and finding, of becoming sober and being found, the text's final words suggest, the reader "goes up" to the salvific "place of rest," "finds" the divine persona revealed in the text, and "enters into" a state of living and not dying again. "

Recovering, this quote is what prompted me to believe it might be the "reader",

but I admit, I can't understand what the writer had in mind when he wrote it. that

said, I don't yet know what Terry has in mind and why he thinks what he thinks. Terry?
