  I'm certain that many here are firm haters of religion , I'm not really hatin on it, belief of anykind fundamentaly points in the general direction of what is there ,sort of. But it hides entirely the clarity needed for a complete understanding that any human anywhere is capable of at any time.

  This is the birth right we as a species is being robbed of daily by self delusion and fear of extinction. We spend all our lives running away from the truth we realize as children when we gaze in the mirror or stand in nature " I am me " that is a truth that will set you free. That is what Jesus was saying , because all his acts came from the certain knowledge of who he was.

  All great and wise men say "know thyself" therein lies the answer you seek. Not one other person or ideology or system of beliefs can take the place of that truth. No amount of pain or suffering can erase it. It is the message

  I propose that the Bible is NOT the divine word of God but is in fact (for lack of a better term) the work of ,,, are you ready,, SATAN and his minions

  Probably an idea advanced before by other men ..I believe the Bible was an attempt by men to do the best they could . Nothing more it is no more important than the meditations of marcus arralius or the brahmappada or mein kamph

  The truth of a man is in his soul ,in his inner being , not in a book or system of beliefs, but you know whatever gets you through the night.

  I once told my son that the bed I built for him would keep him safe at night because I loved him so much and that love was in my work. He believed it and slept well. It wasn't the truth but it helped. Now he's older and knows better.

  WE are older as a species, isn't it time we learned a more profound truth that lies within each of us? We don't need daddy to tell us the bed is safe. we need the real story.

  Look inside for the truth that is there all you have to do is stop and listen for it. Quit thinking so much and let your mind rest and see what has been there all along.

  NEW FLIP FLOP Alert! My Research on New Leaven Understanding

  by Metamorphosis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  earlier there was a thread stating at the annual meeting a new understanding of the leaven in matthew 13:33 was to be announced indicating it no longer would be understood to mean something corrupt but rather something righteous.

  this led me to research (just using the wt cd) what the past thoughts on it had been - this is not the first reversal on the understanding - first see what the watchtower had to say in the late 1800's (as stated in the 75 watchtower):.

  If you are not prepaired to remove the need for all help then the easment of suffering is the prolonging of suffering . That is no help of a real nature, and bramans are kind and generouse too, so are muslims. what is special about the bible?

  SO MUCH FOR PREVIOUS TRADITIONAL MORALS

  by REBORNAGAIN in

  the city of philadelphia has decided to punish the boy scouts of america because it will not allow homosexuals to serve as scout leaders.

  city officials said they will charge the cradle of liberty scouts council $200,000 a year to use the city-owned headquarters.

  the council was paying $1 per year (since 1928).

  I must say this . think that a strait person is just as likely to be a pedophile as a gay person . I think I would trust my children around an openly gay person as I would a strait person. I don't trust anyone with my children, So the question of gayness isn't really a problem , my chidren know what gay means and it's a total non issue just like they know there are people with different skin and hair and intelligence.

  Education is the key it saves confusion , mistakes , and poor choices. Don't leave your dhildren in the dark on a mistaken assumption you are protecting them from something or it would appear permissive , Give them knowledge and good decision making skills not a judgemental and predisposed mind.

  I'm with you oompa that book has been misused and used to create more confusion than anything else I can think of .

  How about , what good has theBible been used for ? Anyone got a REAL answer and not just some " Bible has done this and that for me " kind of answer but what has it really done to bring enlightenment to people .

  i was walking into an ace hardware store today.

  i was about 15 feet from the door when i hear my name called out.

  i looked toward the parking lot and here was an elder from my old hall waving and smiling walking toward me.

  For me it seems the message is there but it's so obscured by all the people that have touched it that it's incomphensible without understanding a great deal about life in general , Men take that group of stories and twist it into something its not . More real wisdom can be found in a A.A. meeting than in any christian church I'v been in

  The message of who we are , where is that in church? More importantly the message of what we are is missing , and that is the key to power that relgions dangle over the heads of the cong.

  We are living and we are here ,that is a truth ,and the real message that lies in that truth is lacking in religion theses days ,

  Go back to the old wisdom ,to when people were in touch with creation, and there is no doubt they understood themselves .

  Looking to what is available in religion now,,phoof,, it's a lot of crap worse than any supersticious shaman worshiping a log

  The message in the Bible is lost under alot of garbage,much like any other religious document, any system of beliefs is fundamentally flawed from inception .

  The only truth is the truth of you and me and what we are . Finding that truth , looking inside to understand and push all the world put in there away for a moment , and see the real under all the lies, that is the task each human must complete

  Anyway ,I just wish we could all be free of what the world has become and just understand ourselves .

  Free Speech/Nathan

  by Guest with Questions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i started this on another thread so a lot of it is in response to nathan's.. there is still free speech, even for christians.

  a lot of people would like to take free speech away from christians; that we keep our mouths shut.

  as americans, what do you think of the fairness doctrine that henry waxman wants to revive?

  No individual should need to refrain from expressing the view they have , ever. Free speech is needed to bring us to a place where we can truly become what we are capable of , the place where our birthright can be returned, where we can be free of fear and longing,

  I would support anyones right to free speech , particularly those who don't agree with me , without dissent no new ideas are possible.
