there are so many ways to get into this topic; homeopathy, astrology, feng shui, alien abductions, seances and so on ad nauseum but let's pick a simple one - mathematics.

do you accept the undeniable logic that 1+1 must always equal 2?.

i cannot conceive of a situation where 1+1=3 but there was a time when i did!

What affected you more, growing up in the cult, or a dysfunctional family?

by Bumble Bee in

i think for me, it was the dysfunctional family.

things from my childhood are finally getting to me.

i've tried for so long to just push them to the back of my mind.

My parents aren't perfect, my upbringing was far from perfect, but I did see a wonderful marriage for over 40 years (they are still in love and each other's best friend), they never yelled or screamed at each other, settled things in private and took us on trips, etc. I often wonder how great my family life would have been, if they hadn't been brainwashed into that cult, it caused most of the pain and suffering that went on in my house.Lots of crappy stuff related to being a witless, yes, but I can't fault them for being crappy parents in other aspects. I could sit and look at all the bad, but I try hard to remember the good as well. Could have been much worse.

NAME JUST ONE thing....ONE THING...revealed by God....

by Terry in

somebody is always insisting they have an invisible and mysterious source of divine information and selling it like hotcakes and syrup.

but, why are you still buying?

when will you ever learn that this is a scam among many scams.

A circle is no more a sphere in Scripture than it is in geometry.

So I told him I love him

by Thinking of Leaving in

and after a year of dating he didn't say it back to me, said he's not sure what he feels or what it feels like to be in love

and after a year of dating he didn't say it back to me, said he's not sure what he feels or what it feels like to be in lovehe doesn't love me and it really hurtshow do I move on from this?

Big hugs TOL,

I have to be brutally honest here,(please forgive me for doing so), like I would if I was sitting with one of my girlfriends over coffee. What he said just stinks, plain and simple. It's not like you said, hey what do think about having 5 kids, hmm, not sure how I feel about that hun. He said he wasn't sure if he loved you or what love was! How old is this guy?Sounds like a cop out to me, ohh I so don't know what to say right now, cause I don't love you, so I'll say....

If a man isnt' sure if he loves you, after a year, chances are he is never going to. You've invested a year of your life in this relationship, how much more are you willing to invest? If its simply a matter of him not knowing what love is, what do you think is going to come about to change that? Will he have some grand epiphany or is it far more likely that he is trying to evade dealing with the situation and doesn't want to hurt you?

My two cents? Maybe take a break from each other and give him the time to figure out if he in fact does love you and if he wants this relationship, ask yourself the same questions. Maybe the distance will make him see how he really feels or perhaps it will make you realize you deserve alot more than "not sure". If a man told me after a year he "wasn't sure" he better run fast and far!

Sweetface:
that conclusion is based on the assumption that God isn't real and has no supernatural abilities. Therefore, its a theory, not undeniable fact.
'Therefore' is a word you have no right to use until you have proven the premise it is founded on, in your case that god is real and has supernatural abilities. Good luck with that.

First of all Obi Wan, its Sweetstuff, not Sweetface.

Second, I can use therefore whenever I chose, last time I checked you weren't the literal right of use police. Third, I never said my premise was that God is real and has supernatural abilities, what I said, if you actually would read is that my assumption that it was not possible was based on the belief that God was NOT real and had no supernatural powers.

Nic + Assumption = Good luck with that.

Anyone have any theories on this equation?
