  I am extremely odd

  by joelbear69 in

  i am fascinated by things that are different from me.

  what makes other people tick.

  i am goofy and have a constant stream of consciousness going through my mind that when expressed verbally or in writing appears to most to be the mumblings of a mad man.

  iv'e been posting here a long time but here's something i never shared before .

  i'm still a window cleaner.

  i'm not going to rant at the 'society' because they don't own my anger anymore but my work is certainly a legacy of my cult past.

  Does the Bible contradict itself?

  in answere to my previous question: do you still love the bible?

  leolaia said; .

  and there's nothing wrong with it being an anthology of different works expressing different points of view.

  The concept of "free will" fascinates me...

  by changeling in

  jw's speak of humans having free will.

  they also speak of the "rebelion" in eden.

  are these concepts compatible?.

  God Or Satan?

  by Lloyd Braun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's an interesting question about "satan" and "god".

  recently, i have been studying some material that suggests that "satan" in the hebrew is never defined as a rebellious angel, that only comes in revelation (greek) later.

  in the ot, satan and yhwh are the same being in certain circumstances.

  My brief story

  by 4mylove in

  growing up i had a friend that was disfellowshiped for premarital sex, marrying someone out of his faith, and pretty much being a free thinker.

  to see what he went through at such a young age was painful to watch.

  years later i meet this wonderful man, who was raised as a witness.

  I believe it says in the Bible that a man gives up his parents and becomes one flesh with his wife pretty early on in there around ohh genesis and god certainly doesnt want families broken

  attended another church service.

  i enjoyed the modern music at the beginning of it.

  the 'sermon' or message was a discussion of leviticus chapter 3. i found it interesting, but not particularly inspiring.

  this is as close to "church" as I think church should be intelligent (mostly) people discussing reality or there percieved reality in an open forum without oppression or judgment insiration and hope can be found here as well as a little sophistry and nonsense but mostly thought provoking and cobweb removing much better than "church"

  Spirituality vs. Religion - what's the difference?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  here is an excerpt from a book called "fresh wisdom-breakthrough to enlightenment" that really hits the point:

  the con of religion

  we have never met a christian who has given up everything and followed christ.

  Perhaps I cant always communicate as well as I would like and I can certainly understand and appreciate your point of view. but to me its kind of the old I think therefore I am . We have this inflated sense of self for a reason just like those other creatures you mentioned have instincts and behaviors.No instinct that drives an animal is wasted or extra. we are all driven each of us to examine our place in the scheme of things. is our insistence on an important part of things merely a perversion of a social drive or is there more signifigance.I dont know > But i hope all of this is meaningfull perhaps that is a failing I dont know that either Maybe this drive to find meaning is proof enough there is meaning ergo i think therefore I am . But for all i realy know we are all here by accident . either way we all die in the end
