  Dead God

  if god decided to kill himself how would we know ?.

  has god terminated his existence already and we don't realise it ?.

  horrible things have been happening to the human race and other creatures for so long how can we tell the difference whether god is alive or dead?.

  Of course this will sound unsincere, but it is not meant so. How do you know God is dead [in your life] is easy.

  The almighlty is excessively humble. He will come into our lives and bless us if we ask, he will leave us to the world if we ask. He will leave our countries, schools, neighborhood family households if we ask.

  He will come back into our lives if only we ask. Pray that we ask.

  respectfully,

  School is for fools!

  so i'm looking to go to university, as is the norm.

  what are the most important things to consider choosing a school and location to study?

  and what would you say are the most important things to do in order to benefit from that education and succeed in that field?

  What do you want to cook? Are you wanting to eventually open a diner, a seafood restraunt, Italian, Indian? I think you'd want to know where your food prep interest lies before choosing a culinary college.

  I do like watching Kitchen nightmares with Gordon Ramsey. That guy is gold. He trainied in France, and that may be the most popular place, but you'd need to do your homework before you zero in on any particular school....imho of course.

  And school is not for fools

  I am always amazed at the idea that because Jesus was in his 30s when he was baptised that Christians should wait also. It is unbiblical to wait imho.

  Jesus was in his 30s because that's when John the baptist was baptising. He wasn't baptising when Jesus was 6 was he?

  Also, Jesus did not need to be baptised, did he? It was another example of his humility and humanity in my opinion.

  What do the scriptures say? In the book of acts there are several examples of whole families being baptised at once. Now a family could have teenagers, young children, infants, etc.

  IE Acts 16;15 'She was baptized, with her household'

  Acts 16;33 'He was baptized at once with all his family'

  1Corinthians 1;16 'I did baptize also the household of Stephanas'

  These examples are the examples of the early church establishing it's doctrine on the baptism of the Christians. No studying, No age restrictions and not baptized in the name of any church or organization.

  St Paddy was pretty much a Dark Ages Rick Santorum.

  while many of us yankees will be eating irish stew & corned beef & cabbage and getting pasted on green beer, irish whiskey, and/or guinness, take a moment to ponder what we're really celebrating.

  st patricks day in the us has become more a secular holiday than a religious one, mainly an excuse to overindulge in booze and embrace irish heritage (whether you have any or not), and basically get your party on and wear silly green costumes, which is all fine & dandy.. let's take a brief look at what's really being celebrated, however.. st patrick wasn't even irish.

  he was a briton slave kidnapped and taken to rome where he was raised and schooled in catholicism, eventually becoming a bishop.

  Not to get too detail oriented, but St. Patrick was actually Scottish and was kidnapped by Irish raiders and sold off as a slave back on the emerald ilse. After a number of years he escaped back to Scotland and then persued a life of education and and religion and was drawn to the catholic faith. He later received the sacrament of the preisthood and then was sent back to Ireland by the church where he converted many pagans to christianity. Clearly, the truth of the saints day has been lost to too many pints as it is a favorite drinking day of many. myself included

  How to get your family out of the JW world.

  by Giordano in

  on another thread a new poster the truth is mine talked about needing to stay undercover so that he doesn't lose control of his family to all of his well meaning theocratic relatives.. i remember reading a number of success stories about how some on this forum managed to get out with their families intact.

  in particular i was looking for mad sweeney's account of his family bible study night and others who were able to find a way to connect to their loved ones.. i imagine there are a number of lurkers/posters who would like to know how they accomplished that..

  I for one would like to know how to get my brother's family out of the JWs intact.

  Very difficult as he acknowledges that the JWs are not very scriptural, but still believes that they have the TRUTHtm

  Although being ignorant as to real scholarly research in any theological field you still feel that you know more about the bible and most other religions than people who actually practise their faith
