suzanne,
hi and welcome to the board.
As far as demons or spirits go, I wouldn't be to terrified of them.
I've spent over 40+ years on this mudball planet and still haven't seen a demon,angel,ghost or any other spirit.
(and I've been actively searching,even so called "haunted" houses)
But if you do happen to see/find one could you come back on this thread and let us know?
I'd love to come and see/witness it for myself.
i don't post much, so most of you don't know me.
i live in nc near oompa, and he has become a good friend with my wife and i over the last few years.. so as an update, my wife visited oompa today!
he's recovering, but has a long recovery to go.
Oompa,
Sorry to hear about the motorcycle accident buddy.
Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and to get well soon.
Remember to follow doctors orders.
And if a nurse comes into your room that looks like this:
make sure you follow her orders as well. I'm sure it will make you forget about a lot of the pain.
Hoping you the best from a fellow North Carolinian,

i can't.. some bar-bet between jehovah and satan balanced against all the evil allowed just doesn't wash..
Ya good question especially in view of this scripture at Proverbs 13:12 [NWT] " Expectation postponed is making the heart sick, but the thing desired is a tree of life when it does come."
So we are to be constantly in expectation of that day that keeps just out of everyones reach thats been waiting on it and hoping to see it come to fruition in their lifetime, all the while it is making their heart sick.
If and when that day does come I can see how the latter part of that verse about when it does come it being like a tree of life to the ones that have been desiring it. (But I won't hold my breath on that day coming no time soon. Too many generations have died in expectation of the same thing)
if you were even born into a religion, would you feel that you had to get out?
( the only religion that i know of where people get out and often never go to any other religion is the jw religion)..
Without a doubt it would have to be this one that I'll provide a link to,
if one assumes that god made the universe it follows that he made it according to a very complex set of physical laws that determine how things work.
the quest to identify and understand those physical laws is at the very forefront of science and great strides have been made over the past few centuries, in particular during the last century.
we have known for only a few centuries that the earth rotates on its axis and orbits around the sun along with a number of other planets, more recently that the solar system is located in a radial arm of a spiral galaxy swirling around some enormous black hole.
But getting back on topic, when I first saw the thread title I thought it was referring to written/oral laws.
Now I know its dealing with physical/scientific laws being broken according to opening post.
So I'll go with the manna from heaven.
Imagine how many laws of the known universe would have to be broken in order for that to take place.
For bread from heaven to fall from the sky, when normally it's only precipitation of some form(whether it be rain,sleet,snow etc.)

I don't agree with WT methodology, but if every single human on the planet were a Witness, I am forced to admit that I would feel safer and my outlook on life would be more positive.
That is kind of a moot point because the same thing could be said about various other groups as well. Take the Amish for instance. The ones I've read about and heard about don't believe in going to war, are hard working peaceful people,help each other with barn raisings etc. Also unlike witnesses, they don't drive cars(as well as other things) so the point could be made that they produce less pollution for the enviroment.
So in the same sense that you are referring to feeling safer if everyone was a J.W., I'd have to say there are many others out there that I would feel just as safe if not safer around if the entire world was like them.
genesis 6: 1, 2 - 1 when human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of god saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.. so angels are only attracted to female humans.. anyone else find this extremely telling?.
-sab.
I've never seen an "Angel" of the bible as far as I know, but all the angels I've seen have all been female.
Ever time I see one of those Victoria's secret commercials on T.V. they are all female and I'm the happier for it. They have nice wings. :)

Hi serein!
Just go to the search on this site and type DA letter.
You will see many good threads with some excellent DA letters that are well written.
Here's hoping you the best possible turn-out with it.

solely by means of the pages of the bible... is like trying to know someone based on what's written about them in their high school year book.
while what others write there may say a lot... oh so much is left out.
best way to get to know that person?
God or Jesus NEVER answer back.
Many would disagree with you.
Many have had prayers answered.
Many have said they have seen little green men from Mars and had cattle abducted by aliens in space ships.
Does this make them right or wrong?
If they're all wrong and yet testify to seeing and experiencing the same things(space men), could the same be said of the other people who "hear god", feel his presence or have their prayers answered?
If not why not?
