  Hidden implications of Genesis

  by losthobbit in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today when i read it, i see a completely different story.. the bible is completely true, or at least that's what many people believe.

  when asking them which translation is true, the person might pick their favourite translation.

  when asking about things that contradict, be logically incorrect, or refer to unscientific things like the four corners of the earth, one might get a response that some of it is symbolic, and not meant to be taken literally, but everything else is entirely true.. the same principle can be applied to any piece of writing.

  Its odd that people think that certain parts of the bible are scientificly right, i.e. the earth in the shape of a circle. so to test this and see how it could only have been something from God to tell man that he, man, didn't already know. My neighbor has a 3 yr old daughter and she knows her shapes so we asked her what shape is the moon, she replied circle, what shape is the sun, again a circle, so what shape is the earth, she looked at us like something was missing from our brain and again replied a circle. When asked if the sun, moon and earth are sitting on something or being hung up she said no. So so much for the info passed in Isaiah that man supposedly didn't know.

  About Therapy/Counseling

  by Mad Sweeney in

  2. friends

  if it becomes obvious to strangers on an internet message board that you should get therapy/counseling:.

  my wife and i are in therapy both separately and together.

  we're not crazy; we're getting help talking through issues we've never had to face before from a professional who knows how to talk us through things.

  Gee, you mean go to therapy instead of the tried and untrue, prayer, door to door, meeting attendance, answering at meetings, meditation, talking to the window washers. Well crap no wonder. Therapy is definitely the way to go, don't go to the kingdom hell for help you won't get it. Window washing is not the education and experience one needs to adequately help others.

  it is true that one has to fill out an application for a scholarship, this is reminiscent (spelling) of an experience that i heard at a 2 dayer from an individual I happened to know, and when I asked them why they turned down something they put in an application for, they finally admitted that they had thought about it, putting in for a scholarship. but decided not to their parents wouldn't support them if they went, and that was in turn changed into their turning down a scholarship that they hadn't even put in for, it had been upped or fabricated to mean they had actually turned down a scholaship anything for a good experience at the 2 day bs session.

  I don't believe even 5% of the BS sessions at those assemblies and District BS sessions.

  What the law says...

  by TD in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...is not always what the law actually means.. that idea might sound like doublethink at first, but it's a basic principle of every legal system and there are several very valid reasons for this.. first: a simple, mechanical reading of law can run counter to what the law was actually intended to accomplish.

  here's a simple example to illustrate this:.

  there are certain plants in the american southwest that are protected by law.

  there is so much common sense here, that the society would be appauled that one could think this way. Tks so much for your post. This scenario of the law would fit the blood nonsense exactly.

  Is Deporting Illegal Immigrants The Answer To American's Economic Woe? What Do You Think?

  by Scott77 in

  1. social
  2. current

  "... deporting the millions of illegal aliens in the united states will cost trillions and will make this country bankrupt; the beginning of slippery slope that eventually will destroy our country the working immigrants is part of the backbone of our country and they have always been and will always be.. i guess, you are blind to the myriad of studies concluding that immigrants benefits our culture and economy.

  a study was released by the center for american progress (cap) that establishes that the enforcement-only approach these restrictionist groups ad-nauseam advocate isnt sustainable in the long-term.

  the study estimates that a strategy aimed at deporting the nations population of illegal immigrants would cost the government approximately $285 billion over five years.

  in fact, our handling of illegals should mirror that of the country from which they come. They shouldn't be treated any better than how their own country treats illegals. good for the goose good for the gander so to speak. I have no sympathy for those coming here and breaking our laws by doing so.
