  Debates make me nervous. I am happy to simply allow time to melt 1914 into the oblivion of the past.

  So let it be written, So let it be done.

  Does God Help?

  i don't know how far back i was thinking about this, but it came to mind once again as i spoke to my father, who was addicted to marijuana for 27 years.

  it took everything away from him, including his family (myself, my sister, and my mother).

  he says a higher power must have helped him through these times and caused him to stop (4 years clean this december; wahoo!

  I believe there is a higher power. I don't use the word god to label it.

  Tonight's memorial. - The Point.

  the following tale will only take a few minutes to read.

  i strongly encourage you to take the time and see 'the point' for yourself.. .

  you begin to sign and then you see that the number of pints of blood to be taken is empty.

  Since Jehovah knew that at any point he could resurrect Jesus, I don't see the analogy.

  Jehovah didn't really give up anything, he was in control the whole time.

  the NEW Preaching work

  by stephenw20 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those whose were interested in the preaching work being more informative to the people at the door,.

  consider this........ you did not sign anything when you "became a jw" and if you have left , drifted or even been d/fd you most likely did not officailly declare your statment to not be a jw.. so then by the power vested in freedom of religion......you still are...which means of course you are protected under the same.

  ridiculous laws the faithful attenders are......... .

  I think people at the door would be just as bothered by this as by the witnesses.

  I have never had oral sex while voting but I have voted on the quality of oral sex.

  Isn't oral sex according to some understanding an organ transplant?

  Why our beliefs are true...

  by Dogpatch in

  from gary busselman:.

  a quote from skeptical inmquirer.

  "finally, beliefs survive best when their adherents feel they are part of a cohesive community; an ideologue who gives his followers a sense of belonging has already won the battle against skeptics who seek to disconfirm his teachings.
