Do you have MS Word? Turn on the grammar help and compose a long, long rambling essay. Then read everything the grammar help has to say about it. This is more real than reading some canned software.

The odds of you winning the lottery are something akin to pitching a quarter off the top of a 20 story building and having it land (and stay) in a teacup. Your chances of winning are about the double the chance of dying in an airplane crash.
Playing in a casino: The house has the odds. That's why card counters and such (who only EVEN the odds can be kicked out of a casino). And house odds are better than pure chance by only something like 3%.
If you gamble and win, having a great night once, never go back.

Compelled Morality
by Euphemism ini had some thoughts last night in regards to compelled morality.
i'm sure it's nothing new, but i just thought i'd share, for my own sake if nothing else.
most of us here who do not believe that the bible is an inspired book reject it because it violates our natural moral sense.

Is the WTS slowly turning into a mainstream religion?
by obiwan ini took this off of xjw_b12's thread.
(hope you don't mind).
"when considering whether to include a pinata at a social gathering, christians should be sensitive to the consciences of others.

Faithful & Discreet Slave - NEW LIGHT
by Black Man inok........has anybody been hearing rumors about new light on the faithful and discreet slave teaching?
i recently talked to one of my ex-bethel buddies and he said that an adjustment has been in the works for awhile now and that the new light for the fds will be that they will receive their appointment before the great tribulation and that they didn't receive it at 1918-19 as previously taught.
their works (global preaching work, worldwide growth, etc) up until the point of the great tribulation will show that they have been faithful and discreet in caring for the lord's interests and worthy of "official" appointment before the end comes.

Some Arguments Just Can't be Won. . .
by StinkyPantz in.and yet i still find myself engulfed in them.
starting a thread about abortion, homosexuality, religion, capital punishment, euthanasia, evolution, race relations, war, politics, ect.
are ultimately pointless.

Like you said, some things by their very nature cannot be agreed upon nor compromised. Take abortion for instance. There is just no compromise available here, no halfway between. Either you will allow it or you won't. However, I will never understand the mentality that kills to stop the killing; and then if you kill to stop the killing and the state catches you, it will kill you to stop your killing. Nice.
On another topic, please tolerate me while I object to a word manufactured & designed to divide and inflame: homophobe and all its forms. I detest the word for the reasons noted. Most anti-gays I know aren't afraid at all no matter what all the gays on the planet might get together and opine. It's just not a fair nor correct word. These people may not like gays because "their bible tells them to" or because they realize they'll never have grandchildren or for some other similiar reason, but not because they're "threatened in their manhood," or any other such foolishness. The word is merely a taunt and was designed to be just so. I think the gay community should drop it.
There's enough to argue about to keep the world at war for another thousand generations; I give you the middle east - exhibit A. I believe we should be about finding things to agree with each other about before we kill each other off over trivial disagreements.

Poll - What kind of Ancient People are YOU???
by LittleToe inare you: a minority group called "jew" a majority group called "greek" a minority group called "christian"
to believe in christ, the jews asked for a powerful sign, before they would believe.. to believe in christ, the greeks appealed to logic and wisdom, before they would believe.. to believe in christ, the christians simply believed, and treated it as a personal calling.. which category do you believe you fall into 1, 2 or 3?.
.. 1cor.1:22-25 - the message.
