ahhh,many who apostasies from the one truth, shall we say ,adopts this trait-and transforms into epitomies of intellectual laziness...they construct the premise there is no true god to mislead others...they proceed to construct arguments to support these prefabricated conclusions with the building blocks of false logic...they convince intellectually lazy individuals the odds of a creators existence are remote...a lie recognizable to any form of honest intelligence.. craig rusbult, ph.d. explains why god refuses to provide irrefutable proof in his existence on the web page http://www.asa3.org/asa/education/views/proof.htm - "although it isn't stated directly in the bible, god seems to prefer a balance of evidence: there is enough reason to believe if we want to believe, but not enough to intellectually force belief against our will.

Ah, it is so nice to have a chuckle with my morning coffee. Thanks. "Intellectually lazy" seems to be more applicable to someone who would let the WT and other closed minded fools do their thinking for them.

My very good friend, Jan, is self-admittedly lazy but not intellectually. I wish he were on line to enjoy the humor of the initial post in this thread, which BTW reminds me of some wisdom I once saw from Comf. Two words for you elke; para graphs. Might make your drivel a bit easier to wade through.

Bad-man, nice post, as always.

Skeptic/Richard,

Been meaning to tell you how great it is to be seeing you on the board again lately. I hope all is well with you old friend. Drop me a line to let me know how you're doing, eh? And how are the boys?

Regards,
Julie

one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).

ashi.

p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.

Julie

Hi Ash,

I hope you do not consider me a "detractor". I didn't mean to imply your brother has a "I deserved it" view, obviously not if he has called for help.

I have read your posts and commented in my *first* reply that you're going about it the right way.

My second post replying to what Naeblis said was merely general observation regarding many abuse cases.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Regards,
Julie

only if you're lucky.. here's hoping this is my lucky night.

Hi Kevin,

You said:

:I went to see my parents and no one even wanted to talk about Jon with me. This was the first time in 8 years that he wasn't with me for a trip home and they all just acted like nothing was different. Mabey I just take things too personally but that just really ticked me off,

This is actually more common of a human behavior than one might think and it really has nothing to do with hard-heartedness or insensitivity. In reality Kevin your family is completely ignorant of what to do so they do nothing. They also may be a bit fearful to discuss it too. I am afraid you will really need to rely on someone else to help you through the roughest spots of this sad situation. Surely you and Jon had at least one mutual friend who you can count on for this?

Just try to realize that your family cannot help you because of their own inabilities. It is not a lack of love for you or a disregard for your loss, inasmuch as it may appear so at times.

Wishing you all the best,
Julie

LOL Farkel, you must have been reading my mind! Lately I have recalled some of the funny little parodies that got done occassionally on h2o and wondered how much fun it would be to do on this board. I'm glad someone else thought along those lines too. Good one.

Julie, see the OTHER possibility

by Derrick in

in another topic, julie stated a possibly ironic outcome of our quest for everlasting life: "wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that we get one life, no immortality, and all these people wasted their whole lives fighting about who was right or wrong about the details of an immortality that doesn't exist?".

in a universe where all things are possible, consider another possible outcome: wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that a higher intelligence exists, is planning an infinite future of good times for humanity, to the awesome delight felt by all these people who spent their whole lives searching for the truth?.

julie, if you're out there, stop selling yourself short with negative "what if" scenarios.

Julie

Well thank you Danny. The improvement in your reading comprehension has been duly noted.

Hi Naeblis,

Well your taste in Hockey Teams is for crap but you have your moments of brilliance in spite of that disadvantage:

You said:

:I can't agree with you. It's not so simple to leave it in his hands. His mindset can't be normal and what's "fine" to him is not "fine" to people that aren't being knocked around.

Amen to that my friend! You are so on the money! In a sad story I know of one sibling was abused much more than another. The lesser abused one has confronted the abuser. The abuser then turns to the abused for "back up" defense. The abused, still trying to curry favor with the abuser calls the sibling insisting "it is ok", "I was a bad kid", "I deserved what I got", etc.. Apparently there was no reasoning with him. I also understand such thinking to be common. Isn't it horrifying to think of the incredibly low self-esteem this represents??

You also said:

:Right now he's probably thinking if he forgets about it it probably won't happen again, or he'll be more careful next time.

You are right on the money again my dear Naebs. Textbook victim thinking, "it will be different this time".

You clever boy.

Warm regards, (BTW, Go Wings!!!)
