Sure they're equally powerful.
Zero equals zero, after all.

13Could God and Satan be the same in power?
by LyinEyes inplease bear with me , i have never known any thing other than what the jw have taught me all of my life.
so all these ideas, theories come and go , and many times , they are just plain stupid.
my mind goes way off into left field never to return , which is probably a blessing.

Nice writeup. It's tragic that so many died for such petty crimes, though.

Is apostate an appropriate term for us?
by sleepy in.
how do you feel?do you like to be called apostate ?.
apostate just means: someone who renounces a former belief or principle.. to people who have never been witnesses it may not symbolise much.but to witnesses the word means a lot.in many of their minds it is synonymous with evil and perverted.. since it jw's who will likely call us apostate not others the term almost always has a bad or negative useage.. but it does identify us as people who have completely rejected the religion.. so is it good for us to use it or not?

Every age is unique. Every year is unique. Every day is unique.
Out of such constant uniqueness is born history. Which continues unabated.
Robert, you and yours have cried "Wolf!" too many times. You are a joke.

Explain THIS!!
by MrMoe inok, now before you read this and speculate please note i knew very little if any of mayan culture or pink amazon dolphin.
some of you here on the board know about my dreams but i feel it is time to get some feedback from the rest of you.
i have other dreams, but am far too lazy to type them up.

6of9: There are several possible explanations. First, MrMoe could have picked up a reference to these dolphins and then forgotten it years ago. Second, it could be a coincidence -- most types of animals come in many colors; she could have just gotten lucky. (Consider all the dreams that mean nothing -- we forget about them because they are commonplace.)
How's this: When you can repeatedly pick up in a dream anything provably unknowable -- say, words or numbers written on a card, in a sealed envelope, managed by a disinterested party -- let me know.

did I miss the point
by DanTheMan insometimes i wonder if the legalism and the authoritarianism in the wt have a purpose that i intuitively understood at first, and that somehow i've become blinded of the necessity of those things.. two things keep entering my mind - .
1. jesus likened his followers to sheep, and;.
2. the israelites got tired of the manna.. in leaving the wt, am i like the israelites who complained about the "contemptible bread"?

Dan: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Read the history of the Society, especially "The List" of quotes from WT publications. When you're done with that, you won't do much worrying about the WTBTS world view.

syn: Well, it'll certainly get the attention of a boatload of people; if they learn something from the scare, that will have been worth it. It seems like that was the original authors intention, so maybe this'll be the black hat who saves the town.

Because she has not run her dreams in a lab or presented them to you personally they must not have any significance or the story is made up.
You see, Xander? Every fan of the supernatural wants his personal delusions individually disproved. It's a sure prescription for philosophical vapor lock.
To call the subject of this thread hand waving is basically calling Moe a liar.
Not necessarily. She could just be deceived herself, unwittingly passing on a nonsensical worldview. In the paranormal, as in dubland, true believers are usually 'victims of victims'.

Remarkable how often the people who claim to be out ahead of the world are actually trailing behind. Ain't it?
