why care about spiritual things?

i see most of all of you speak in different opinions of what is or may be true spiritual things (while a few ar just freezing cold or dead spiritualy), but i ask all of you, why even bother to care or pretend to care of spiritual things?.

Muslims and even the American Indians believe in a higher spirit being, but the buddists and hinduists, believe in a higher state of oneself called nirvana. Both are spiritual needs for each of the beliefs. These people know that this life is confusing and hard enough to walk it by themselves.

With death always around the corner and natural desasters that plauge the world, not to mention uncureable and painfull diseses, and hunger, and homeless people, do you really feel in control of your life to say you can "accept the consequences or rewards for any actions you take or decisions you make"?

Then to this I say to you my friend, good luck on your lonesome strugle of life. I hope you don't find yourself in a 'Columbine' situation, or in another 'twin towers' place where either you are in the plane or on the top floor of either buildings. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for in the end of the tunnel- Death.

Why is religion such a mass of confusion?

by evergreen in

as a person who has not attended meetings for some time now, and having stood back and looked at the thousands of different faith groups, organisations, churches etc i often think how on earth are we to know what direction to go.

if a person looks deeply into their own faith questioning how, what and why... the deeper the hole gets as to errors.

from my own experience having firstly been a catholic then a jw, all i see are manmade rituals and rules mingled in with biblical principles and commandments.

Yes selfish motives! because they are living in the way of this crule and unjust world where everything is fast pace.

You want to eat now? go to a McDonald's, You want to buy anything at all right now? go to e-bay. You want information now? go to the web. You want money now? get a loan. You want the end to happen now? You'll have to wait until God wants to deliver the evil to the feet of the king Jesus Christ, and people don't get it that things can't happen when they want all the time, which makes them inpatient and selfish.

But you are not alone! inpatience comes from the man-made governments that teach this to children in schools, and soldiers in the military, and the in every place you look around, you'll notice how billboards try to impliment a skinny body, a muscular man, spend money here spend money there because you need this and you need that!

These are things that make people become selfish because they say you need this, you deserve that, you can be this, or you can do that! and then all who believe have become apart of this world and in their brainwash of evil. Then they want to be rich, or get implants, or be in debt, or become famous, or a hunter of human beings.

Truth be told, there is and always will be confusion on any religion. Some will take the words of any belief system and try to selfishly twist it to their own benefit for money, power, or even fame. Take the terrorists, for example. In the name of religion they want the power they used to have, so they send the blind and ignorrant of them to blow themselves up with the blind promise of becoming martirs. Take the Catholic church as another example, for years they have ruled most of the world with an iron fist so they can become as rich as they are now. They even have their own country, army, and die hard faithful believers that are willing to kill.

What's the difference between them and the JW?

The JW's all are peaceful, followers of the Bible. They mean no harm even thou they are still sinful humans with human mistakes yet very educated and neutral in the things that are worldly, political, or military.

This is my 5 cents

"Spirituality can comprise both inner growth, changing oneself as one changes one's relationship with the external universe, and the outer process of transforming the physical reality around oneself as a result of the inward change." -Plato (allegory of the cave)

In fact being spiritual may aim towards improving ones wisdom and willpower, achiveing a closer connection to God/Deity/Universe, and removing illusions or false 'ideas' at the sensory, or feeling and thinking aspects of a person.

Just like a psychologist can identify if a person is mentaly disoriented and try to orient them to a normal more productive life, Or when a friend or family member sees that the person is suffering from a problem or saddness, anyone can see the things written by any of you and identify just how cold or dead your spirituality trully is.

Humans have the ability to reflect God's personality traits, including the capacity for spiritual things, or spirituality. Just as God created our bodies with a superbly designed immune system, which fights disease and helps keep us healthy, he also equipped us with a conscience, or inner voice, which can help us make right decisions and avoid practices that are harmful physically and spiritually.

Jesus said: "Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through Jehovah's mouth." ( Matthew 4:4 ) It is, therefore, up to us to put forth the effort to take in that spiritual nourishment. To the extent that we come to know the Bible and endeavor to apply its principles in our life, to that extent we will benefit spiritually and physically.— Isaiah 48:17, 18 .

Well sweetstuff,

Excuse me!!!

I thought I asked your veiw on spirituality, not your veiw on my veiw of spirituality. Then again, some poeple just don't have an opinion on this subject since mabey they are confused and can't deside on whether they should believe on what one guy says, or what another says, or if it just isn't real.

---"As for the parts about the higher being, beliefs, and going outside yourself to connect with that higher being, you're risking going into the realm of fantasy. Some people will say these are crucial for spirituality, but I don't share that worldview."---

If this is so, then let me ask you this... Do you believe you are your own god, for say? Since there is no higher being, do you feel at ease that all you have to look foward in life is to live to the fullest today,because tomorow you will die? How do you explaine all these demonic and spiritual phenominon going on around the world?

Spiritual is defined as a concern with matters of the spirit involving in humankind's ultimate nature, often contrasts with the earthly or material or worldly. A connection to the metaphysical reality greater than oneself, which include the sence of a God or gods, or include an emotional experience of religious awe and reverence.

I personaly consider spirituality as a state of knowing the meaning of life, a connection with oneself and a higher being or creator. The principal teacher of values, ethics, and beliefs in it's pure uncontaminated form. Also as a transcendental demention of life beyond self where awareness and appreciation for a higher being exists.

But then again, what do I know.
