  Just a thinking aloud

  It seems to me everything in nature has a balance or a counter-balance. Everything seems to have an exact opposite or something that in some manner either controls or contains the other.

  Heaven doesn't make much sense without it's opposite.

  So either Heaven exist without limit or it has a counter balance. That balance would be the exact Biblical and physical opposite of how heaven is believed to be.

  If you can believe there is no heaven then you should have no problem with non-belief in it's opposite also not existing.

  How about this; Those the prefer the belief of no Heaven are a counter balance to those that do.

  Is God's counter balance Satan ? or Is God's counter balance something we are not aware of ?

  Do You Think Prostitution Should Be Illegal?

  recently, in my area, a number of people have gotten caught looking to pay for sex from a call girl.

  a catholic priest was one of the "johns" that got arrested.. i know there are some that argue that it is debasing.

  still, for a million years, it's been going on and there are willing parties who want to engage in this activity.. if two consenting adults want to have sex with one another and are willing to pay and accept the services, is it a horrible thing, in your opinion?.

  I say decriminalize the prostitute at the state level. Make sure anyone acting as a pimp is criminal at State and at the Federal level.

  It would similar to Alaska's privacy laws. Alaska's privacy laws allow for personal use weed. If you have a large amount you can be prosecuted at the Federal level. With small amounts it is and has been beat in our State courts.

  I don't use either. But a ton of money is spent messing with people over things that don't really hurt the populace. As long as those that use said vice are responsible about when and where they partake.

  Was it EX JW literature / WT's or the BIBLE which woke you up? Post scriptures if any....

  i considered myself immune to ex jw stuff.

  no amount of old watchtowers or anything would change me.

  it was seeing treatment of others by elders and the bible itself, which woke me.

  The Bible states “can not predict the end” it also says “any that add or take away from this”.

  I'm a born-in, I sat those two statements next to each other when I was 14 and left home and the Borg 3 years later.

  It was The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures that got me out of the Borg.

  i hate to be a sports critic but nevertheless, i find this kind of wrestling as going far on the top.

  i have great respect for other country's culture but the question is: how far should we tolerant extremist sport that glorify pain and suffering as a price of achievement?

  what is your reactions?

  religious christendom's heavy blood guilt!.

  to pair the word hate with christian, would really be foriegn to the hearer of that combination of words, wouldn't it?

  that would certainly be nothing the founder of christianity would be guilty of, would it?

  within a month i see her again and she took him back within a wk of him going to live with this other woman , she told me she blamed herself for not having sex often enough !and they were working on their marriage !
