hey!.
i have a question regarding creation thats burning me.
i dont have any clever arguments depending on what is answered, i am just curious.. first off i want to say that i think people are free to believe whatever they want.
Honest answer to those who fall for evolutionism.
"Evolution is impossible. You can't take two monkeys and come up with a human because chromosomes would be missing. But you can go the other way and take two humans and come up with something pretty close to monkey. There are a lot of people like that." - R Buckminster Fuller
any of the rhetoric, demands, conciliation, etc., etc., remind you of anything?
wasn't this all how this war started in iraq?
(or the justification for it, anyway?
"Prior to World War 2, Adolf Hitler made all kinds of inflammatory statements, but most world leaders dismissed them. They simply refused to believe that the madman was actually serious about what he was saying. We can look back now and see what a big mistake that was, but the truth is that current world leaders have not learned from the mistakes of the past. Today Iranian leaders continue to publicly state over and over that they look forward to wiping Israel off the map, but over and over world leaders do not seem to be taking these statements seriously. For example, the official website of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is reporting that he just told Mauritanian President Mohammed Ould Abdel Aziz that one day the Islamic nations of the world will witness the absolute destruction of the state of Israel. Considering the fact that Khamenei is the most powerful person in Iran, you would think that someone would be alarmed by that statement.
The following is an English translation of an excerpt from Khamenei's statement....
"Surely, the day will come when the nations of the region will witness the destruction of the Zionist regime... when the destruction happens will depend on how the Islamic nations approach the issue."
It is this kind of talk that is bringing the world ever closer to World War 3, and yet most of the world yawns when they hear statements such as this apparently because they don't believe that we should take people like Khamenei seriously. But this is a nation that has one of the most powerful militaries on the planet and that is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons. For religious madmen who openly sponsor and support terror groups to possess nuclear weapons is a combination that will endanger the entire world. And they are religious madmen. For example, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is claiming that the United States is purposely attempting to block the return of the Mahdi.............."

the theahertz security.
this is kinda scary, for those who believe in the bible, first jesus said that he wasn't abolishing just fulfilling the law.
the penalty of sin is death, so he covers that.
many take that as most things are okay then.
Galatians, what a misunderstood book!
"Often, one of the first things a nominal Christian will say when you tell them the law has not been abolished is: "you need to read the book of Galatians!" In spite of the multitude of scriptures in the "New Testament" which demonstrate we should keep Yahweh's law, many understand Paul's letter to Galatians to state otherwise.
In reality, there is not a single verse in the book of Galatians or anywhere in the scripture that would tell us that the law has been abolished. Rather, much to the contrary! The book of Galatians actually proves that while we are not saved by our observance of the Torah (The Hebrew word translated "Law" all throughout the scriptures), true believers will make a sincere effort to walk in its precepts.
In this study we will go through each of the verses in Galatians chapter 2 through chapter 5, which contain the key verses speaking of Yahweh's Torah/law and its place in our life. It is the words in these chapters that are most frequently understood as "abolishing the law". Thus, we will examine them to see if Paul is really making any claim that the law is now abolished and not to be heeded......"

Acts 18:4 - And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
"Truly, the Sabbath was not for Jews only. "
"Did Paul do one thing and preach another? Did he preach that the Sabbath had been abolished but yet keep the Sabbath himself? Did He really call the Galatians (some of whom were Jewish) "foolish" for observing the Sabbath day and then be a hypocrite by observing it himself?"

Acts 16: 1-3 NIV "He came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was a Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a Greek. The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him."
it is too easy to get sucked in to the wrong argument at the wrong time.. asking the wrong question leads to the wrong answer.
a wrong answer does nobody any real good.. i once had a heated discussion with an old friend who is still an active jehovah's witness.. he came back at me with this:.
"okay, then--if jehovah's organization is a false religion, where is the true one?
ERROR + LOGIC = STUPIDITY
Anybody remember a company called General Motors? Back in the 1970's Japan was producing small cars that were eating into GM's market share.
GM decided to do some marketing research having to do with the question of what people wanted. Their surveys concluded that what Americans wanted were small cheap cars. So GM provided the Vega. And copycat Ford came up with the Pinto. Of course they weren't asking the right questions, because what Americans really wanted were small luxurious cars. But they had a preconceived idea so the questions of their surveys were designed to reinforce those preconceived notions. It's been that way forever. If you want the truth, you have to ask the right questions.
i don't post often, but this caught my attention this morning.
we have this stupid lovers triangle thing playing out in the newspaper and it is almost embarassing to read - but i know someone who knows the mistress and so i keep reading the damn story.
i hate people who will not take responsibility for their own actions and feel the need to place blame elsewhere.
Elizabeth Edwards and John Edwards Separate
(With dems it's always sex and with repubs it's always $$$$)
Elizabeth Edwards and former two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards are legally separated, according to her spokesperson. The Edwards reside in North Carolina which allows for divorce after a couple lives separately for twelve months.
Edwards' spokesperson would not give information on the date of the filing of the legal separation documents.
Custody and visitation of the couple's youngest children, Emma Claire and Jack, is unclear as is their financial arrangement during the separation period.
"She said, 'I've had it. I can't do this. I want my life back,' " her sister, Nancy Anania, told People magazine in an article appearing in an upcoming issue.....................
i found this site set up by a loyal jw who wants to refute books like "crisis of conscience" and "captives of a concept".
i thought loyal jw's were not even supposed to read such books.. .

How about a bro that wouldn't take off his hat?
i thought you good folks might enjoy this post from http://www.thelaughingapostate.com/.
s.p.a.d., who is one old cantankerous apostate, has been noticing of late that several of you brave souls still find yourselves in a situation where you have to attend meetings at least now and then.
i feel for you good folks and i think it is high time that all of us chip in with ideas of how to reduce the boredom and suffering you must endure.
We used to have a somewhat flamboyant type who would always sit in one of the front two pews. And every meeting, about halfway thru, he would get up and march to the back, I guess to use the can. On his way he would smile or nod at a couple people. Very distracting.
