There is no such thing as an agnostic

by startingover in

That article was a nonsequitur. I am an atheist but have always said that the only group that is based in fact is the Agnostics. I don't "know" that god does not exist and can not prove that god does not exist, but the evidence supporst that there is no god much more than the idea that there is a god that is real. There is not the smallest bit of evidence that a supreme being of any kind exists. I like Sagan's example that I can not prove that there is not a tea pot orbiting the sun but I highly doubt it.

i know they would df for use of it for recreation but if a dr in california gave it as a perscript, and it was legal to buy and use for medical use, has anyone ran into this yet?.

So did I take that correct, that as long as some one is alive that knew someone who knew someone who was alive in 1914 then there is a contemporary alive of that time and generation? Is that how fucking stupid they have gotten to try to keep the dream and I stress dream alive? Man how they have frallen.

thanks to frank kavelin for looking at the old well worn subject from a completely different perspective.. enjoy!.

I thought that because they used the same secular dating for the release of the jews by Cyrus to count back 70 years that they reject for the date of the destruction of the temple it completely discredited their attempt to show 607

Interesting quote from COC Re: Generation teaching

by palmtree67 in

i just read this today:.

(pp 257) "reports drifted back to brooklyn that he (albert schroeder) was suggesting to others that the expression "this generation" as used by jesus at matthew 24:34 applied to the generation of "anointed ones", and that as long as any of these were still living, such "generation" would not have passed away".

schroeder's views then ( in 1978 ) were rejected by the governing body.. but doesn't this sound like the explanation given now of the generation???.

I said the GB was like the Wile E super genius when his back was to a wall and had the black hole to create a get away. So the question is after the escape from the time line of a dying or dead generation that has passed away or is just about to go on the cart, why a change back when they had made a get away? I can only come up with one reason, the fall away rate when you make things not so imminent must be high and by returning to a very limited time line it may keep the sheepel in line. But this is only going to work for a very very few years, or will they just let it lay dormant and not talk about it hoping it will go away after it does its job keeping the fools in fear of hail from heaven. The thing is this is not Rutherford’s Buick anymore and with the advent of the internet things don’t just lay dormant. People like us talk a lot and point fingers and yell what the fuck are you talking about you idiots. I think it is going to get harder and harder to keep people on the edge of their seat waiting for this nonsensical crap to happen.

ok I have a question for anyone who can answer me about this......

by queenbella in

i divorced my husband for cheating on me that is why i left him.

i came home from visiting family two days early and found him in bed with someone else.

i left him but he blamed me for everything and then when i thought i could go back to the kingdom hall they told me that they called my husband and he said he didnt do anything.

dogon

This is an old story and goes to the child molestaion, it takes two witnesses and if your husband does not want to confess you are SOL and the best thing you can do is to not only leave your husband, but the cult. The cult is doing more damage to your mental state than the cheating of your husband by skewing things and making it seem like you are the one doing the wrong. Just as in the case of the children who are molested each year by dubbers then covered up due to lack of eye witnesses. Just leave the cult and quit worring about thier silly rules. the game is rigged and the rules keep changing but you have the power, you can walk away and tell them to fuck off.

tuesday, may 11. quickly.

they forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.ps.106:13.. some may have left gods flock because they did not agree with some scriptural teaching.

classic case of circular reasoning, we know the bible is ture because its gods word, bla bla bla. If you have to use circular reasoning you have no ground to stand on.

WT cautions against playing pac-man 1982 Awake

by EndofMysteries in

with bizarre names like pac-man, asteroids, space invaders, battlezone and donkey kong, video games have landed themselves not only in amusement arcades but also in corner drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, fast-food parlors and nearly everywhere else that people congregate.

their beeps and booms and colorful lights have captured the fancy and imagination of a new generation of players to the point of obsession.. other than the obvious appeal to teenagers and its commercial success, the proliferation of arcade video games has triggered reactions ranging from strong parental protests to outright government bans.

in the philippines, president marcos officially banned the games and gave owners two weeks to destroy them.

All those days trying to get to my second Key in Pman and I never once got to see or touch a hooker, I would have dropped one joy stick for another in a NY min.

Was it EX JW literature / WT's or the BIBLE which woke you up? Post scriptures if any....

by EndofMysteries in

i considered myself immune to ex jw stuff.

no amount of old watchtowers or anything would change me.

it was seeing treatment of others by elders and the bible itself, which woke me.

dogon

For me I have always had questions and was told I thought too much. When in 1995 they changed the meaning of generation after all those years of the people alive in 1914 and after seeing 1975 come and go, it was time to exit stage left. It gave me the courage to look at and examin the bible that I was told not to question all those years. It was like as darwin put it, the scales falling off my eyes. I could no more go back to that garbage or any version there of religion nor more than I would chase a turd down the toilet, good ridens.
