  Real Love

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every now and again i get a lil bee in my bonnet and i have to just blurt out stuff - so this one is on love....so many types of love out there today.

  one can find it under any rock, in any nook...that is if you dont care what type of love you want, or the type of love you'll be giving.

  if you are looking for it, aim to never settle for nothing but the best, not for left overs or scraps.

  i guess love is not the same thing to everyone. i say, love just is or it is not. no need to search for it or superficially create it. no need for give and take or any returns. if it's love... it's love.

  God and Evolution

  by BurnTheShips in

  during the second half of the nineteenth century, it became common to speak of a war between science and religion.

  but over the course of the twentieth century, that hostility gradually subsided.

  science should not try to become religion, nor should religion seek to take the place of science.

  About "dawg" and growth...

  by changeling in

  2. friends

  i only checked in here briefley yesterday and missed dawg's "good-by" thread.

  i posted there just now, but don't know if he is checking in any longer.. many of you realize he and i have had our differences.

  in fact, is was after a "cyber-fight" with me that he left the last time.. when he returned, he pm'd me several times just making nice, brief little comments on things i'd post.

  i always found it interesting that people here (also the "friends", especially elders) would always say "all the bad things come from america" - like disco, pop/rap/metal, promiscuous lifestyle, all the clichees, ya know. when i answered, the JW come from america too... they'd ususally change subject. following the events of september 2001 i noticed how the WT jumped on the terrorism/insecurity... topic. that really bothered me, because i was all fed up with america. while the USA was mongering for war, they'd blockade the austrian government elections, because a small right wing party was included (they sucked, but that's no reason to start an embargo). it was then, when i stopped offering the mags in service. it was then i noticed it was only another agenda.

  Agree to Disagree

  by wanderlustguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew what i wrote and have written in the past would trigger a lot of different things in a lot of different people.

  sometimes the hardest thing to accept is that what someone says is usually true, even if it's just for them.. as a person grows and learns, they draw conclusions about a great many things, from who god is to what kind of car is the best ever made.

  it oversimplifies things, saying it like that, but at the same time, maybe it is perfect.

  the way i understand "ad hominem" is attacking a person for something that has got nothing to do with the topic. for example, if someone makes a point against the death penalty and is attacked by "you're cheating at your wife, don't teach us about morals". even if that guy is "cheating at his wife", he may have made a valid point. an "argumentum ad hominem" is used to distract from the topic by focusing on a person.
