  That's just your opinion

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we've all heard the saying, "everybody is entitled to their own opinion--but--not to their own facts.".

  we all have our own idea of what is tasteful, what is funny, what is fair and all that is called our opinion.. but, when a group of self-important men start demanding our loyalty because they represent god's truth---what prevents.

  us from saying politely, "well--that is just your opinion"?.

  Terry:

  Your point made me think of the book, The Age of Reason. I went back to some hi-lited points I made and found this. Check what was written.

  " As to the Christian system of faith, it appears to me as a species of Atheism- a sort of religious denial of God. It professes to believe in a man rather than in God. It is a compound made up chiefly of Manism with but little Deism, and is as near to Atheism as twilight is to darkness. It introduces between man and his Maker an opaque body, which it calls a Redeemer, as the moon introduces her opaque self between the earth and the sun, and it produces by this means a religious, or an irreligious, eclipse of light. It has put the whole orbit of reason into shade... As to the theology that is now studied in its place, it is the study of human opinions and of human fancies concerning God. It is not the study of God himself in the works that he has made, but in the works or writings that man has made" - Thomas Paine

  This book and COC are must read books.

  Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism

  by cedars in

  2. beliefs

  if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plgbjdgoj-u.

  (unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

  The link to Anthony's speech is not working. Would it be available on another site?

  I'm very interested in getting a hold of it.

  Thanks

  spirituk,

  You can't be serious with those comments? You must be putting us on? trying to come off as though you just escaped from an asylum.

  Trust me, we've all been in a similar situation, a normal guy will rub one out like a man. A crazy, lunatic that needs therapy and professional help will post mental shit like you.

  Signs of a Stalker:

  1. They become demanding/controlling, they want to know who you are texting, e-mailing, what you are saying. They are suspicious, perhaps even paranoid.
  2. They are contacting you multiple times a day asking you to confirm where you are at – if you are at an unusual place and they seem to know - suspect that they have put some geo location software on your phone.
  3. They start sending aggressive, abusive or threatening texts.
  4. They start to contact your friends and family trying to check up on you, get information about you, or trying to damage those relationships.
  5. They start to spread rumors, put abusive, embarrassing comments online via social network, forums etc.
  6. They seem to know information that you haven’t told them or know what you do online such as websites you’ve gone to, people you’ve chatted or sent e-mails to etc – suspect spyware on your computer
  7. Your passwords stop working or keep changing.
  8. You find e-mails marked read that you haven’t read, or e-mails sent from your account you haven’t sent.
  9. Money starts going missing from your online bank account or goods being bought via online stores you use.
  10. Information is deleted such as friend’s contacts, computer files, e-mails.

  Spirituk, I suggest therapy for yourself

  I think it's just politics, everyone everywhere will always cry for more, human nature really.

  Overall, Canada is a great place to live, Quebec is a beautiful Province, Old Quebec City is very unique spot in north america, feel almost like Europe there. Granted, gas and taxes are very high. Still rather be in Canada than many other countries
