I prefer replies I can make something out of
In that case try taking it one point at a time. You have so much in that post that it's beyond the scope of one thread to straighten it all out.
we all know the story of the tower of babel, and there are lots of things one can discuss around the topic, like for instance how god actually didn't allow mankind to 'experiment' with governing themselves, but chose to intervene whenever they seemed to get close to being united.. however - that is not the topic of this thread (and has been covered in other threads already).. .
so - what do i mean when i say "another thing god didn't have to do"?.
the first of the things i'm referring to, is the diversity of life itself, as it happens through evolution by cumulative steps of naturally selected, inherited traits over the generations of a population (i'm not going to go into detail here).. so - over to the other thing that god didn't have to do:.

If jumping to conclusions were an awarded event you'd make an excellent contender.
and do rappers make up a dance every few years to show us white folks for the rhythmless wonders that we are?
if i hear soulja boy again tonight i will scream.
but i was heck on the electric slide back in the 90's..
That's why I hang around JWD....it gives me terms to Google!
for me it is having the ability to think & act in a way that is honest to yourself & those you love - so simple, yet after many years in mental captivity, so beutifully right & joyous!.
my kids cuddles.

Breathing comes to mind...
i cannot but read many of the posts in which god/jehovah or even christ is ridiculed, mocked and even hated?
so i ask the question why?.
what has god ever done to you personally?
All I can say is, don't take it out on God, just because you could be all wrong about Him/Her again!
You had it wrong in the pass...Do really think your "right" now?
I don't think people are as much "taking it out on God" as they are being upset that they were given a faulty framework on which to build.
I think most people are simply (and honestly!) looking for a real starting point.

One day the whole thing gets found out...And it's just around the corner? Any day now? Just a little longer?
That's what helps you figure out the false prophet(s)!

Does anyone remember a little pamphlet WT put out entitled "In Search of a Father"? Briefly, a father goes away from his family for a period of time but sends back money for whatever the family needs. One of the sons turns things around and claims that he is supporting the family; he doesn't let them know that the father really cares and is making provision for them. One day the whole thing gets found out...
as i read it on your posts, it seems that at your assemblies there were candy machines which you were somehow forbiden to use.. am i right?.
it just seems ridiculous to me!
why, oh why could you not get a bit chocolate from a machine?
People might have been more cooperative if WT had served something other than generic brands. Penny wise and pound foolish?

this is really cool....the kaguya/selene spacecraft is beaming back hi-def video of the moon's surface, which you can watch (alas, in a resized form) on the web.
this earthset is truly grand, don't you think?.
Amazing! It gives one pause.
brother jed came to my college campus today.
he and his partner told us all that we were going to hell for drinking and doing drugs.
i don't get the guy, does he really think that he is going to save anyone telling them that they are going to hell with out even knowing what they do, there was one guy there who is an atheist, but the greatest part was that brother jed even made the christians on campus mad, they felt they we being misrepresented by him, so they made signs that said we are christians and we love everyone!
Did he bring his wife and daughters with him?
UN-REAL. Those poor girls.
