My Current Views About God, Relgion, JWs and Life In General

by pale.emperor in

this past year has been the most life changing year anyone could ever go through.

waking up, leaving the cult, separating from my wife, research, research, research, reading, pondering etc.

and i've found myself having to re-learn and re-evaluate everything i thought i knew.

I think you have come to a lot of logical conclusions.

Atheism = self defeating.

by towerwatchman in

atheism = self defeating.

first may we define our terms.

the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

Mathematically Measuring Evolution.

by towerwatchman in

mathematically measuring evolution.. when judging relationships in terms of morphological characteristics we will always be bound by the subjective.

morphologically one cannot exactly measure the distance between two organisms strictly in mathematical terms.

using the standard method of taxonomy we cannot quantify the difference between a horse and a mouse, or know which is closer mouse to cat, or mouse to fish.

People die for the truth, they do not die for a lie

Millions have willingly died for delusions.

Everybody knows the extra-biblical references to Jesus are bullshit.

It's embarrassing you would even attempt to go there.

Papal Bulla - Latest Metal Detecting Find

by cofty in

i was out detecting this evening for an hour after work and found this amazing bit of history.. it is a lead seal that originated on a document from pope martin v at some time between 1417 and 1431. these official documents were called papal bulls and were dispatched to all the parishes in the medieval empire.

this example has later been made into a spindle whorl which is why it has a hole through the centre.

lead whorls were used before spinning wheels were invented to make yarn of sheep's wool.. the inscription "spaspe" stands for "sanctus paulus sanctus petrus" and the two busts are of paul and peter.. the reverse has "martinus pp.

Correction - PP stands for Pastor Pastorum ("Shepherd of Shepherds")

@ILoveTTATT2 - I keep the stuff. So far I haven't sold anything. The landowner has a 50% claim on everything and I have agreed he can put up a display in "the big house".

I use a Garrett AT Pro.
