been gone a while, i havent posted a topic here for since 2004, but remembered this story this morning, so i thought id make a post.
dungy idols!
ring a bell with you?
Given all the dumbing down the dubs have experienced over the past decade or so it's no wonder they have to change "dungy" to "disgusting" as most of the current generation wouldnt have a clue otherwise.
Shit or shitty would have been a bolder step and one in the correct direction.
apologies if this has been raised already (i don't check in to the board all that often) but can anyone make head or tail of this from the latest watchtower (study edition):.
a former atheist confessed: the creation convinces me that god wants mankind to enjoy life and therefore he will not allow suffering to go on forever.
also, as the world descends further into ungodliness, jehovahs people are progressing in faith, zeal, and love.
the babylonians believed that the gods were immortal then they had offspring that were demigods and then they had humans so the first two of the list are different than the genesis writer wrote in chapter 5. this is how the names are translated.. babylonian kings list, genesis chapter 5.
1. aruru=a god 1. adam=man.
2. adapa= demigod 2. seth=gift of god.
Being suckers for good story around the campfire has its downsides.... people may start to really believe that shit.
hey guys, there's another thing i wanted to share with you.
i know this topic has been discussed over and over again, but it's just so fun to complain about it.
we're going to the district convention this weekend.
Just put your foot down and say I am not going.
Then you can enjoy the weekend instead of wasting it at the cult wastefest.
the paedophile/rape case in wales has attracted the interest of the the charity police.
it seems the clouds are gathering and the charitable status of the wt in the uk is in question.
not great for the dubs but superb for champions of truth and righteousness.. ironic isn't it.
Good, one of my brothers is fuming over this.... Lets hope it helps him quit.
i have always had bonkers dreams and i remember a lot of them, even some from my childhood.
i have the common dreams of flying and being chased all the time.
and i used to dream about demons but not for a very long time.. but heres the thing, i often dream that i've been captured and about to be tortured or murdered and the rest of my dream is about me negotiating my freedom and promising all sorts of things if they will only let me go free.
Yes that fat finger thing feels weird, I havent had it for a few years now, but used to get it a lot. At least I'm not the only one.

It seems logical that your early fears play out in these dreams, but that's just a guess. You are bound to be somewhat disturbed by your in dream actions if they are not what you would wish in reality.
I used to have a regularly repeated disturbing dream (nightmare?) for years that involved me being in a sand pit at night with large coloured balls (think hard shiney and heavy snooker balls but 3 meters in diameter) rolling one after another along the wires on telephone poles and dropping off the end onto the ground. That was about the sum of it, but it was disturbing enough to wake me up each time I had it.
Other disturbing dreams involve size as well, I used to have regular waking dreams where I was awake and aware but obviously not 100%, I'd grip my wirst under the covers and it would feel like a finger and really freak me out, then I'd grip my finger to check and it would be huge.
Others involved car chases and suddenly I cant reach the pedals or see out the windscreen because i have shrunk.
The joys of the mind eh?
for me: how to garden, do laundry (we washed in an old maytag wringer and pegged the wash on a wire line), cook, clean house.. most importantly, how to show love and respect .
.. miss you, nana!!!
please share!.
Leg ulcers can kill you.
Longevity isnt in my genes.
Allow room for eccentricity.
She died when I was 7 and was the only gran I knew....
i've heard some view points that state, atheists are generally more moral & caring for fellow humans, than are theists.. i'd like to hear some personal stories of life changes and quality of life after you became atheist.
i have a simple theory that may explain this.. i'll explain my theory if you'd like, after a few responses, as i really am interested in the personal changes that you experienced.. thank you very much, and i look forward to your stories..
It was also widely known long before Jebus or his cultists were supposed to have plagiarized it....

Do "wicked spirit forces" come into play in your theory at any point I wonder?
Your question is loaded to start with anyway...
