here's my sincere question:

is there a real science of spiritual effects?

now, before you say, "nope, it's all bullsh*t", i'm convinced that a number of truly weird/psychic things have happened in my life.

Content of forums big and small
by Introspection in

i understand there has been a number of smaller xjw forums that has sprung up, and i've noticed that it seems like there is less in depth discussions on those, it seems like it's more of a homey place to hang out and chat.

i'm guessing one of the reasons would be there's just less people there, so you don't have as many different viewpoints.

has anyone else noticed differences like this?

Tools To Fight Depression - intriguing newsarticle
by Billygoat in

since there is another recent thread on depression i thought i'd share this article i got on my wall street journal healthwatch - it was a link to cbsnews.

although i can't say i'd do this treatment unless i had no options, i found the article interesting.

but more and more studies are proving depression is a physiological problem and not the stigmatized mental illness.

2. beliefs
since i seem to have offended some with my comments (moi?!.

why do so many christians, become christian again, and call themselves born again?

why not just say you decided to change directions and open your mind to a new idea?

My last post.

2. beliefs
this is my final and very last post after this i will not return here as someone here made something clear to me.

my faith in god and jesus christ cannot and i will not tolerate others who do not believe to attempt to stumble me or change my mind at all.

my faith stands strong and true and none of you can do nothing to change it.. gods word say "do not cast your pearls before swine".

Five Steps to Peace: any comments.
by QCA1 in

hi to everyone.. just finished a book by neale waslch called ' the new revelations'.

i would like to if i may list here what has been written regarding the 5 steps to peace.

do you agree or disagree.. we acknowledge that certain old beliefs about life and about god are no longer working.. we acknowledge that there is something we do not understand about god and about life,the understanding of which could change everthing.. we are willing for new understandings of god and life to now be brought forth,understandings that could produce a new way of life on this planet.. we are willing to explore and examine these new understandings ,and,if they align with our inner truth and knowing,to enlarge our belief system to include them.. we are willing to live our lives as a demonstration of our beliefs.. do most or all of you here think that what we have been taught about god,christianity,jesus and so on through the bible is absolute truth and truth isn't to be found outside of this book.. i would appreciate your thoughts and has anyone read anything by neale walsch.. qca1.
