  When the Reptillian Anti-Christ is unmasked, what is your firearm of choice to kill our invaders?

  by WingCommander in

  2. friends

  this subject thread has been on my mind for a while, especially after seeing "zombieland" and foodall's thread about our possible ufo/reptilian over lords/realion/alien invaders.

  when the great day of reckoning comes, whether it be from ufo alien invaders, realian reptilian over lords, demons in human-hybrid form, or just plain old virus-infected zombies, what will you be carrying to defend yourself from the hostile forces of e-vile?

  please, no one say a "bible" or i'm going to just laugh my ass off.

  I'd be all over this like a fat kid on cake. I hope it's legal in Canada when it's released.

  I smoke weed and cigars. Tried smoking cigarettes but can't stand the stink that clings to you. Reminds me of old ladies.

  I'm glad my children don't have to grow up being afraid of cupcakes

  yesterday, i brought a batch of cupcakes to my son's school.

  in passing them out, i started to give one to one of the children, who was a jw.

  he immediately started freaking out and screaming "no thank you" over and over.

  Uhh, sniping atop a water tower with a sawn-off shotgun would make the kid retarded, not psychotic.

  daing simple but brutal.. many here faded.

  how did you accomplish this?

  if you moved, how did you move without the elders trying to chase you down and send your information to a new congregation?

  I just went from spotty meeting attendance to none. Got one "how you doing" visit from an elder/family friend but that was it. Was a little rough with my still-in parents but things changed and now they turn a blind eye to the fact that I live with my girlfriend. It helps that I was the only one of four kids that got dunked.

  Just thought I'd chime in and say good on ya, bro! The world needs more enlightened atheists. Spirituality should be a personal thing, not something coerced.

  Pondering the Flood...

  by 2pink in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is only my second thread here on this forum, so forgive me if i put this on the wrong board.. i'm a jw on the way out....past few years and esp past few months of thinking have pretty much sealed the deal for me.

  i'm done.. so anyway, as i allow myself to think more and more and question more and more of the bible, something i have always wondered about is the flood.

  did god regret doing that, hence the rainbow promise??

  As others have already mentioned, take a deeper look at the sheer impossibility of a global flood and you'll find that the flood story is just another myth with no more truth in it than the exploits of the ancient Greek gods.

  Purely in terms of the "rainbow promise", do you think God magically altered the laws of physics to allow light refraction only after the flood? Silly. It's just a tale invented by people from long ago trying to make sense of the world around them without the benefit of science.

  A great resource for information regarding the flood is located here: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html

  This was what led to me losing my faith in the god of the bible, because if there's one false myth what's to say that the other outlandish stuff (talking snakes, sun standing still, people rising from the dead) is true?
